Joy For A Weary World

December 18, 2011 - Tune in as we continue our "Gift of Joy" series and consider our topic, "Joy For a Weary World," from Isaiah 9 and Luke 2.

The Gift of Joy

December 11, 2011 - There is a difference between fickle happiness and supernatural, Spirit empowered joy that comes from God and transformed the lives of Joseph and Mary, Shepherds and everyone wise enough to let Him in.

Jesus is God's Humble Gift at Christmas

December 4, 2011 - Dr. Jackson will be with us on Sunday to kick off the Christmas Season and will be bringing a message that will encourage your hearts and minds. There was nothing more lowly and insignificant as God's Son being born in a manger surrounded by everyday people like you and me, not important or meaningful by worldly standards, but these are the people God scoops up into his arms to love and cherish. Today you will discover how you can be part of the ongoing Christmas story... This is our "First Gift Sunday" where we consider what it means to place Jesus front and center for the holidays

Think Differently

November 27, 2011 - God often has this creative way of showing us that He has a purpose, a plan and a personal vision for our lives. As with the blind man in John 9, God's vision and purpose sets us apart, changes how we live, and places us in the lives of others. It is also a vision that gives our lives purpose and meaning. In the story of John 9 we can see that our lives are not human accidents waiting to happen but divine plans waiting to come to pass.

Bold Opportunity

November 20, 2011 - The church began as a movement as 2,000 years ago people witnessed the resurrection of Jesus and boldly spread the good news. Facing opposition, hey never wondered, "where is God." They continued to boldly overcome the resistance, praying for greater boldness to speak the life-changing message of Christ to the ends of the earth.

Bold Impact

November 13, 2011 - Acts 13, Galatians 5. Does the church really matter in our day? Do we make a difference, so that if the church disappeared, the community would notice? What are the results, in the community, when a church is filled with bold, fully devoted followers of Christ? Imagine what our world would be like today if it wasn't for the pure influence of bold Christians who started hospitals, fought against slavery, founded orphanages and stood against the moral evils of despots.

Bold Risk

November 6, 2011 - Eyewitnesses to the resurrection poured into the streets of Jerusalem saying that Jesus is alive. In one month's time the church grew to over 5,000 people and because of their bold faith, they became a threat to the Pax Romana, the Roman Peace. Christians were arrested, flogged, and warned to quit talking about Jesus. Persecution raged for three years as Stephen was martyred and the followers were scattered, but by faith, they didn't stop talking or risking. Why?
