Messy Christmas Through Surrender

December 15, 2013 - Battlegrounds are messy places. This world is a spiritual battleground, not a playground and there are mangled bodies everywhere, victims of the enemy. Who wants to surrender? Isn’t that a sign of being a loser? Being defeated? Giving up? Submitting to a stronger force? Yes, it is all true, and though it seems so counter-intuitive in our culture, it is the only path to experiencing “The Prince of Peace.”

Messy Christmas

December 8, 2013 - Many of us experience a bittersweet time at Christmas, because it brings both happy memories from the past and mixes them with the anguish of loved ones who have passed on from this earth, relationships that once were, and a myriad of other things that affect our lives that somehow cause us pain at a time of rejoicing. We need to remember that Jesus went through it all, felt every sorrow that we feel and more, and He did it for us, and His reward is to now sit on His throne at the right hand of God, the most honored place in God’s house! Therefore He has the knowledge and the power to get us through the sometimes difficult times that are presented to us at this season. He is coming back; He has not forgotten us!

Messy Christmas Through Humility

December 1, 2013 - Messy Christmas Through Humility. I am thankful for God’s wonderful gift of grace and how it was made possible by lowering himself in human form in the most humble way. In this message we see how a little baby being born in a trough can make a world of difference.

Messy Christmas Through Thanksgiving

November 24, 2013 - Is it your health? Your family? Your job? Your finances? It is easy to be thankful for things in our life that we work hard for, but when was the last time you were just “Thankful?” When we worship and give gratitude to the Lord for EVERYTHING He has done, we magnify Him. My prayer is that we learn to MAGNIFY the Lord with Thanksgiving.

Putting The Family Fortune To Work

November 17, 2013 - Everything we have comes from God. God gives something to everyone. We have no control over how much God gives to us, but we are responsible to make the most of whatever it is that God has placed in our hands. One day we will give an account for what we did with what was entrusted to us.

Spending To Reap

November 10, 2013 - We are looking at God’s laws of weath and prosperity. God has laws for spending and saving and investing and taking risk and insuring. When we put money to work to make a difference in lives, that is a good thing, when we are working for money, being slaves to debt, that is a bad thing. We are blessed when we cooperate with God’s laws.

Spending The Family Fortune

November 3, 2013 - Few experience the plague of being born into what we consider to be a rich family, yet everyone who is in the family of God, is rich beyond measure. Our Heavenly Father is rich. Everything we have comes from His hand. Before he entrusts us with greater riches, he wants us to prove that we can be trusted with little. If we are faithful with little, then God will entrust us with greater things.
