Access Church Weekend Messages

The Christmas season can be full of stress and anxiety. Parties to attend, gifts to buy, a house to clean and decorate. It can get to the point where it overwhelms the joy of the holiday. In this week's message, we learn how to simplify our Christmas by focussing on the two most important things to God.

Are you a wise person? How do you know? Often times, we use self-evaluation to determine where we stand in life. Yet Proverbs warns us that "the way of fools seems right to them." The truth is that we all have blind spots we can't see, and we need some outside help. In the final week of this series, we talk about relationships to invest in that will help us become wiser and better people.

Kids today are growing up in a complex world. Online relationships, excessive sensory stimulation, and identity confusion create ample opportunity for young people to make foolish decisions. So how can we, as parents, help them? In this week's message, we take a look at God's parenting advice found in Proverbs, and talk about how we can apply His principles in today's crazy world.

The average American has made a mess of their finances - over $17,000 in credit card debt, almost $30,000 in auto loans, 78% living paycheck to paycheck. We have a hard time handling our money. But none of us want to live under that kind of stress and anxiety. In this week's message, we take a look at God's foolproof wisdom for our finances, and try to understand why He would ask us to do something so crazy.

No one wants to be a fool. None of us wake up in the morning and decide to ruin our lives with poor decisions. So why do some people end up there anyway? As we kick off this series, we discover that true wisdom starts with changing our mindset and overruling something very familiar in our lives.

Do you believe there is an evil one who is trying to ruin your life? Whether you do or not, Jesus clearly states that there is, and that we should learn to pray against him. There are many distractions and destructive tactics that the devil tries to use against us, but in this message, we discover how to pray against him and be aware of his schemes.

Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, there is nothing that stands in the way between us and God. We have the ability to express ourselves and experience Him fully. Unless we put up a barrier unknowingly. When Jesus was teaching His followers about prayer, he challenged them to remove anything that would hinder their ability to fully experience God, and in this message we discover what that challenge was and what we can do about it.

How are you? Most of us answer "Fine" instinctively, but really, how are you doing? When we probe a little further, we find out that we're not fine. We're dealing with anxiety and fear. We're overwhelmed with stress or regret. We're unhappy about the past or uncertain of the future. And it all stems from us living in the past or worrying about the future. In this week's message, we discover that one of the benefits of prayer is to help us live in the moment God has given us.

Often, we find ourselves praying for things that we really, really want. That new job or the better home. The right spouse or the miraculous healing. We ask for things that we really, really want because we think we know what's best. But when Jesus taught His followers to pray, He suggested something different. In this week's message, we discuss what it looks like to pray for God's will to be done.

In our busy lives, we often pray fast, impersonal, and irreverent prayers. The result is that we find ourselves missing the"promised" connection with God. However, when Jesus taught about prayer, He suggested we do something different. In this week's message, we discover how to start praying with "Our Father" in mind.
