Guest speaker Pastor Mike MacIntosh shares from the Book of 2 Corinthians on the power of forgiveness. He points out how those who have received Christ's forgiveness by faith have been empowered to show forgiveness in return by becoming better instead of bitter and joyful instead of sorrowful.

When we look up to other seasoned believers, we all too often forget that there is a process that led them to where they are today. In this teaching, Pastor Billy Venezia reminds us that we're all under construction and in the process of being built by the Lord. And many times, that process involves sacrifice.

Our walk of faith is strengthened when we choose to obey God by making right decisions. In this message, Pastor Fidel encourages us to make right decisions when we are tempted, tested, or provoked.

Our job, in church, is to spur each other on to do something good. In this message, Pastor Doug Sauder gives listeners the charge to strenuously fight for those who are weak.

For Orphan Sunday, Pastor Doug Sauder issues a challenge for Christians to take note of the injustice of orphaned and abandoned children and take action to right this wrong in society. Injustice, abuse, and neglect start behind closed doors. Christians are called to swing that door open, shine a light on the problem, and display the courage and sacrifice needed to save and redeem the fatherless among us.

Former Compassion International president, Wes Stafford, introduces the organization's new president, Jimmy Mellado and shares how God very clearly orchestrated the transition. Jimmy then tells of his journey with Jesus, through the stages of "me first," "the box," and "the desert," to a faith characterized by simple love for our sovereign savior. That journey has birthed compassion in his heart that motivates him to help release children from poverty in the name of Jesus.

During this special night of worship and group prayer, it was announced that Pastor Doug Sauder has accepted the role of Lead Pastor for our church.

With all of the modern day distractions, it's easy to get pulled away and not pay attention to the people we are with, our surroundings, and even God. In this message, Pastor Doug shows us biblical parallels and reminds us how to pay close attention to our families and God.

Through several key passages of Scripture, Pastor Reuben shows us the necessity of developing a personal and corporate culture of accountability. He then challenges us to prayerfully take practical steps to pursue accountability partnerships in our lives.

It's dangerous to your soul to think you can keep the whole law of God. As we look at the story of the Good Samaritan, Pastor Doug Sauder teaches us that it's religious experts that work the hardest to justify themselves. But no amount of human good deeds is equal to the righteousness of God.
