gOD'S aMAZING pROMISES
Our cute kids shared a VBS song with the whole congregation on Sunday morning. Watch them sing, "There are promises for you and me in the B-I-B-L-E!"
Give It Away
There are so many who need help, just not enough who are willing to give it. Will you act on the compassion you feel?
I only wanna be with you
Jesus says to make God your priority. But how? We've got a lot to worry about and it's piling up fast.
I Want It That Way
The popular 90s band Backstreet Boys sang "I want it that way."
Think about this next time you say the Lord's prayer. "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." You're saying, "I want it that way." But what are you doing to bring a little heaven down to earth?
Losing My Religion
God sees right into who we are. And God doesn’t care how religious we are. All our self-improvement is fine, but we are never “better” than anyone else. We are always in need.
Don't Stop Believin'
Faith requires courage. The courage to follow Christ. The courage to look at what Christ stands for. Faith requires the courage to tell someone that God doesn’t need their help to rewrite a new story for them. The courage to believe that no matter what my situation is, God is not bound by those parameters. Faith is standing firm upon the idea that God is the only one who can make a way where there is no way.
Here I Go Again
Can one little light make a difference? Here I go again trying to light up the dark places in life.
What's love got to do with it?
Is love just a sweet old-fashioned notion like Queen of Rock N' Roll Tina Turner asks? Or is it something more? Pastor Mike thinks he has the answer. Watch the video and see if you agree.
Livin' on a Prayer
God, take my hand and we'll make it, I swear. Oh, we're half way there -- livin' on a prayer!
Joy to the World
Most Christians are looking for happiness, not joy. Happiness is based on what happens to us. Joy is fellowship with God. Because we are made in God's image, being generous is the secret to our joy. Seek joy!
That's the Way I Like It
Screaming and fighting to get our share, we forget to imitate Christ in our daily lives. Does it have to be like that?
I Will Survive
Whatever is happening in your life (surgery, grief, jobless, frustrated, frightened, wondering if you are doing the right thing, wondering who you really are) God is saying, “Fear not…I have called you by name. You are mine. You are my beloved. With you I am well pleased.”
Memorial Day Tribute
This is a day to remember and honor all those who died in active military service. May they rest in peace.
Stairway to Heaven
Are you buying your way into heaven with your money or hard work? How will you feel if sinners worse than you are there, too?
Songs That Could be Sermons
"Stairway to Heaven" kicks off the series of songs from the '70s that could have been sermon titles. See how it fits with Matthew 20:1-16. Join us on Sunday at 10 a.m. here or in the sanctuary for the full sermon.
How hard is it raining?
If you are filled with the Spirit, or your church is filled with the Spirit, you honor what God stands for. Switching our thinking from scarcity to abundance gives us the potential to do extraordinary things.
I Love You to the Moon and Back
If our spiritual gifts do not flow from love then they are not gifts at all.
For Paul, if you are not serving God with love, because of love, out of love, from a position of love, then what you offer is zero. Paul wants our love to grow and flow out of the love God is already giving us.
The Body Keeps the Score
"I'm fine," we politely lie hoping our childhood scars stay hidden. But, the body keeps the score.
Let's offer encouragement instead of judgment to people in pain. Let's welcome people who need help because it is what God does for us. Each of us MUST build up our neighbor.
Sometimes I Feel Lost
"The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse" gives comfort to thousands struggling with everything from job loss to cancer. See how this bestselling book mirrors the strength, encouragement and consolation that are always near with God.
