January 30, 2011 - Luke 8:40-56
What is it like to be desperate? Have you ever been desperate for a drink in a hot, dry desert? Ever been desperate for an officer to extend grace after five previous tickets? Ever been desperate for a date? Ever been desperate for an ambulance to come quickly? Ever been so desperate that you didn't know what to do, since you have run out of every other option you could think of? This is a message for everyone who, after coming to the end of themselves, cries out to God for help. How desperate are you for the touch and work and healing of God?
Jesus Focused Freedom
January 23, 2010 - Luke 8:26-39
Who doesn't like the word "freedom?" America is known as the "Land of the Free," yet how many people are living bondage? Why is it that freedom so often leads to bondage? Prisons are full of people who wanted to do whatever they desired and now they cannot do anything they desire. God's desire is that everyone is set free from bondage.

Jesus-Focused Peace
January 16, 2011 - Luke 8:22-25
Are you facing a storm in your life? Are you having a hard time understanding why God would allow this storm of un-employment, or this relational storm with a spouse, sibling or prodigal child? Do you find yourself dreaming of a storm-less existence? Storms are a fact of life that God uses, not so much to build our faith, as to reveal our faith.

Jesus Defined Relationship
January 9, 2011 - Jesus tells a parable that he uses to help his followers "Define the Relationship" they have with their heavenly Father. God has taken the initiative to express His unconditional love for us, but the question is, do we feel the same way about Him? Jesus identified four levels of relationship that defines every response to God.
Becoming A Blessing
January 2, 2011 - 1 Peter 3:8-12
The secret to living a life that you'll love living, and one that finds favor in God's eyes, lies in becoming a blessing to others.

Hope For Uncertainty
December 26, 2010 - Joseph and Mary were living in uncertain times when hope was born. There were the normal uncertainties that come with preparing to be married, but that was nothing compared to the uncertainties of finding room at the Inn, delivering a first child and surviving the murderous attempts of a wicked king.
Being Used By God
December 19, 2010 - Matthew 1:18-24. It seems that most people have a hard time knowing what to do with Joseph and his role in the Divine drama that we call the Christmas story. Why did God choose to use Joseph? What caused him to stand out from all the other Jewish men at the time? Was it just the luck of the draw, or were there character qualities modeled by Joseph that God seeks when He wants to use someone?
