Accomplishing the mission God has given our church is no easy task. Yet things only get harder when we cut each other down and criticize or complain. In this message, we discover the priceless value of encouraging others in all areas of our lives, but especially with other believers.

The Great Commission is the most important thing we will ever be a part of. It's so important that Jesus only prayed that we would have one thing to accomplish it - unity. But unity comes only when we are more committed to the cause than to our own personal preferences. In this message, we discover how to actually live this principle out and engage in what God has called us to.

There is no deeper subject in Christianity than our eternal salvation. In this week's message we dive into this topic head on and discover how it should change our lives.

When we want to see God move in our lives, we believe all we need is more faith. When we want to see miracles happen in a situation, we think we just need more faith. We tend to think that the more faith we have, the more spiritually mature we become. But that's not what Jesus taught. He said that we already have enough faith, but that we were lacking something else.

Over the last few weeks we've talked about how to make progress in our lives - choosing the right goals, creating a "MAP" for success, and finding a reason to stay persistent. But we've probably all made it this far before, right? In the final message of this series, we talk about how to turn our good intentions into action.

"People lose their way when they lose their why." For many of us, this is not a new revelation. It's the biggest reason why we fail to keep our New Year's Resolutions year after year. We start off with good intentions, and maybe even have a "MAP" laid out, but we lose our focus somewhere along the way. In this message, we discover how to find our "Why" and stay on track.

Year after year we make the same resolutions. Yet so many of us ever reach our goals. We have good intentions and pure motives, but we end up wandering around aimlessly, hoping to hit the target. Maybe we need some direction? In this message, we discover the "map" to accomplishing our resolutions, and how to chart out the course towards progress.

It's the first day of 2017, and we've all got New Year's Resolutions on our mind. We want this year to better than the last. We want to be healthier, have stronger relationships, and be closer to God. But haven't we wanted those things for the past few years? Why don't we seem to make any progress? To kick off this series, we discover two requirements for making any lasting changes in our lives.

For centuries, we've viewed the birth of Jesus as this beautiful and serene environment. Mary and Joseph calmly kneeling, the animals quietly watching, and the baby not making a peep. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. Jesus' entry into this world was tough, messy, and painful. The magnitude of this sacrifice shows the great lengths God is willing to endure to be with us. The question is, do we want to be with Him?

God is real. God is alive. God is holy. Check on all 3 of those. God is active in our everyday lives? This is where some of us struggle. Why and how would God be active in my life? What does that even mean? In this message, we discover that Jesus' birth signifies God's desire to be a part of our day-to-day life.
