FEAR NOT!
Advent. It's the season when we prepare ourselves to receive God's gift of Jesus. It's a time of "getting ready" for the celebration of Christmas. The events surrounding that first Christmas were not unlike ours today. The first Christmas story is filled with people who experienced uncertainty, concern, distress. To each one, God began with a message of FEAR NOT! Come join us on a journey each Sunday as we hear God speak the words FEAR NOT into our own world!

THE POWER OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP!
What is WORSHIP? PRAISE? Whether you've been raised in the church or just recently decided to "give church a try", coming together to WORSHIP GOD is one of the primary calls of the Christian church. What we do during WORSHIP and how we WORSHIP is found all through the pages of the Bible. Here, we find WORSHIP is the primary attitude, activity and ministry of every Christian. It is our highest love, reverence, admiration, gratitude and adoration that is experienced in the heart, demonstrated and expressed inside and outside the church as a truthful, living sacrifice to the Father, through the Son, in the Holy Spirit. Everything else should come next.
Whether our calling is pastoral or in teaching or evangelizing or preaching or healing or delivering or anything else—we cannot take up any ministry without becoming a worshipper first. Becoming a living sacrifice is to consecrate our lives wholly to the Lord as His willing subjects in His Kingdom. It means to agree to lose our rights, lay down self, pick up the cross daily and follow Him.
We need the Holy Spirit to lead us to the truth and only then we can offer living WORSHIP that is acceptable to the Father. This means living a life yielded to God in every possible way. PRAISE AND WORSHIP can't be confined to Sunday church alone. It must reach into our everyday lives through daily personal adoration and in loving our neighbor. It is our mission—to become the best possible worshippers we can ever be. If we fail to become worshippers on earth, we are never going to be happy in Heaven!

HOPE.
We all need it.
It fuel our faith.
It changes our perspective.
It ignites our passion.
The Bible has so much to say about HOPE. In it we find instruction on how to keep HOPE ALIVE, REKINDLE HOPE that is gone, and GAIN NEW HOPE for the days ahead.
Join us Sundays to find out more about the source and power of HOPE in our lives and
how God can use it in us to change the world!
What’s in a name? EVERYTHING. It’s often the first thing you learn about someone. As you read through the Bible, you’ll discover God is referred to by a number of different names and each one tells you something important about his nature and who he wants to be in your life.
Got Faith? You may feel like you have great faith. You may feel your faith is very small. But whatever the size of
your faith, God wants to help grow your faith this year!
Faith is an action. It's what grows as we learn to learn on God. Sometimes God's plans are so much greater
than our plans that all we an do is keep hoping, keeping putting our faith in the One who always works for
our good and His glory. As we cultivate a relationship with Christ, we build our faith muscles.
Faith involves getting to know God and learning to trust him, knowing that God always has our best interest at heart. Then, as we consider God’s promises, we can be confident that He will keep them.

UNSHAKABLE: THRIVING NO MATTER WHAT HITS YOU
Have you ever felt pressured to make choices that don't align with your values?

THIS IS US
At different times in our lives, it is good to pause, stop what we are doing, and ask the question 'why'. Why am I doing this? What am I doing? Why am I doing this? The answer to the question 'why' always determines 'how' and 'how long'.
THIS IS US, the first series of the brand-new year, will help us pause and ask what is 'church' and why do we do it? Join us as we investigate 'church' and remind ourselves what church is all about.

The Bible has much to say about the issues we deal with each and every day. YOU ASKED FOR IT is a series that looks at a few of those issues:
- How to deal with stress
- Getting over what people think about me
- Learning to be who God wants me to be
- Recognizing God's voice
- Discovering my true identity in Jesus
- So what does the Bible say about us? It says we are created by God as complex, multifaceted, not easy to understand, and not easy to explain people. And with good reason! Layer upon layer, God made us unique. During this series, we'll take a deeper look at those complexities and discover a sense of who we were made to be.
YOU ASKED FOR IT sermon series is based on some of the most requested "How To" answers from God's Word for some of life's most perplexing issues.

Heroes often emerge from unexpected places, teaching us important lessons about what to do, and sometimes, what not to do. Many of these characters seem larger than life — overcoming unbelievable odds on their path to victory. However, some of the best lessons come from less prominent stories — people that appear, at first glance, easy to discount. Great Lessons from the Lesser Known looks more closely at these obscure characters. Learn how God can use anyone to accomplish great things. You don't need to be a powerful and wealthy leader to have influence. Obeying God, even in the small things, can impact history.
A significant life is not always the most noticed life or the biggest life but it is a significant life. It is a meaningful life. With this series, we'll look at some of the lesser known people in the Old Testament and what we can learn from them. In the Old Testament there’s the Big Three. There’s Abraham, there’s Moses, there’s David. We talk about these guys. But there are many other men and women mentioned in the Bible who can help teach us some very significant lessons. Join us on Sundays and learn how God can use you to do great things! |
Due to the COVID-19 virus many people have lost their desire to think BIG, even dream BIG. We believe that God is looking for people who want to dream BIG dreams - so big that you and I cannot accomplish the on our own. GOD says, "think of the GREATEST DREAM for your life and I can TOP THAT. I can beat your dream, it's bigger than you can think, request, guess, dream, imagine, and I don't do it by pushing you. I'm not driving you, I'm pulling you and I'm working gently within you." God's dream for your life is always bigger - always bigger than your dream for your life. Not only that, but when you line up with God's dream for your life, HE ARRANGES THE CIRCUMSTANCES SO THE DREAM HAPPENS. He does it in a way that you couldn't possibly arrange on your own!
AS with anything new, we all may need to re-adjust our thinking on dreams, so this series will include a CONCENTRATED 40-DAY TIME TO DREAM CHALLENGE.
AS with anything new, we all may need to re-adjust our thinking on dreams, so this series will include a CONCENTRATED 40-DAY TIME TO DREAM CHALLENGE.
WHY DO WE USE 40-DAYS? Why do we use about six weeks? Well, it takes six weeks to develop a new habit. If you're going to change your routine, if you're your going to change your thoughts, if you're going to grow, you have to DEVELOP NEW HABITS. You have to do something every day for approximately three weeks for it to become comfortable, and then do it for another three weeks to actually turn it into a habit. JOIN us and find out if it is worth the challenge and see if God can make our DREAMS COME TRUE!
