The world we live in is full of spiritual knock-offs. And 1 John cautions us against false teaching and false doctrine that steal our joy and well-being. Only the pure, true word of God can lastingly sustain us in a time of deception. Pastor Bob highlighted the importance of being aware that we are in the last days, though the exact day and hour is unknown. May we cultivate a love for truth to keep us joyful!

In Sunday's sermon, Pastor Bob explored the tension of loving the world God created but not loving the systems of darkness. Listen as he breaks down the dangers of loving the world found in 1 John 2.

Why do we have joy? One simple reason. Because we get to know God. When we know the author, we can understand the Bible and the heart behind it.

Starting a new series in 1 John, Pastor Bob leads us on a journey of finding joy in a world plagued by anxiety. We learn that we can not only find joy, but joy abundant, because of the finished work of Savior, Jesus.

This week, Pastor Bob took us through this year's prophesy update in regards to God's timing and communication through His word and to His people, speaking on the different ways the Bible can be read and understood and the current status of the prophesies of the Lord's return.

We concluded our Fruitful Life series this past Sunday with Pastor Bob's message on sowing and reaping. Chapter six in Galatians lays out a foundation of sowing and reaping, and Pastor Bob gave us the four principles to The Law of Great Returns. 

So, what are you asking God to fill? What are you believing Him for? May we never stop sowing to a God who wants you to reap

We celebrated Mother's Day with three short messages from Pastor Bob Guaglione, Anna Walker Roberts, and Mike Guaglione to honor our moms!
Pastor Bob taught us that the church has a culture of honor, modeled from the top down to bottom because it's instituted by God. 
Anna taught us to combat the lies of motherhood with scripture. As a community, we must recognize the spiritual battles that moms carry and speak truth to remind them of Jesus rest and promises. 
Mike taught us that honor is a fundamental part of the Christian faith. As we looked to Jesus' response at the Wedding in Cana, our prayer is to take our scripts, plans, and strategies and throw them in the trash, like God himself did, just to be able to honor someone.

This past Sunday, we concluded our time in the Fruit of the Spirit section of Galatians. Pastor Bob wrapped it up by talking about the fruit of self-control, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, and goodness. We got pretty practical on these fruit, so take a listen to the sermon if you missed it!

Pastor Bob picked back up in our Galatians series for Part 2 of the Fruit of the Spirit. He reminded us that these fruit are not produced by human effort. They're not virtues to be worked on but a byproduct of the Spirit of God living inside of us. This week, we covered joy & peace. What's getting in the way of the peace and joy that we are to exhibit because of the Holy Spirit's dwelling inside of us? What are your joy-blockers? What could be stopping you from real shalom?

We got to host Ryan Ries from the Whosoevers Movement this past weekend and watched a move of God in our midst! Ryan's powerful messages of grace and truth compelled our community to respond to salvation, re-dedication, and interceding for loved ones. This is the second of two sermons Ryan shared with us this week.
