Why Jesus Came In The Flesh

February 28, 2010 - Luke 2. Some have proposed that Jesus was only a ghost without a physical body when he walked this planet. But Jesus came and took on real flesh and blood for a reason. Don't assume that this topic is only for heady theologians. Everything Jesus did, and is doing, for you and me is tied to His sinless humanity. Join us Sunday as we study why Jesus' life in the "flesh" is a non-negotiable truth of the Christian faith.

Why is Jesus the Only God?

February 21 -The Incomparable God. Luke 1.
There is nothing more important than having an accurate understanding of who Jesus is, why he came and how He is uniquely set apart from every other religious leader who ever walked this planet. There is much confusion today over the person of Jesus, so we are launching a new series of messages entitled, "The Incomparable" on the non-negotiable truths about Jesus.

The Homecoming

February 14, 2010 - Luke 15. When Jesus spoke to the serious minded Pharisees and religious Scribes, he told three stories about things that were lost. In all three stories, when the item was found the story ended with a party and celebration. In fact the stories teach us about what causes parties to break out in heaven. This is a message of hope and joy as we celebrate God's extravagant and lavish love that is expressed to everyone.

The Ultimate Comeback

Feb. 7, 2007 - Luke 15. There is a lost sheep and the shepherd inconveniences himself to go out in the dark of night to find that one lost sheep. There is a lost coin and the woman lights a lamp and relentlessly sweeps the house to find that one coin. There is a lost son and the father stays home and waits for his return. Why didn't the father go out after his son? Why was it important for the Prodigal Son to come to his senses, on his own, first? Find out this Sunday!

This is the ultimate comeback story that gives hope for us all as God is waiting, no matter where we have been, for us to come back to Him. The good news is that He will always receive us in a first class fashion when we turn from our sin. Join us Sunday as we consider God's process of repentance as we love the Prodigals in our lives and invite them to God's eternal party.

What Do You Need To Be Happy?

Jan. 31, 2010 - What does it take for you to be happy? The younger brother thought that materialism and self expression would lead to happiness. The older brother took the route of moral-ism and self-righteousness. Neither found happiness on their own. The source of happiness was available all the time in the provision and presence of their loving father.

The Runaways

Jan. 24, 2010 - Luke 15:11-32
There is not just one "Prodigal Son", but two "Prodigal Sons" in this story. One selfishly spent all he had on wild living, but the older brother was just as sick and selfish and it was revealed in a more subtle way. This week we see the "prodigal" nature that battles within.

The Prodigal God

Jan. 17, 2009 - This Sunday we begin a new series of messages on the extravagant love of God. What explains God's heart for those who are lost? What explains God's heart for those who are caught up in self sufficiency, self righteousness and legalism? This series is about recovering the heart of the Christian faith. You won't want to miss one week of this life altering series.
