Sunday, March 12, 2023 – Today, we will review and wrap up our mini-series on the keys to living a victorious Christian life. Our text has been Hebrews 12:1-3, and today we are adding verse 4. Today's title is "Do Not Grow Weary and Lose Heart." Obviously, this is not as easy as it is to say. However, Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, is with us at the beginning of the race, at the end of the race, and everywhere in the process. But most importantly, He ran His own race and finished in first place. His victory assures us Hope that we can run and finish our race just as He did. This message is a great encouragement for everyone, no matter the circumstances one may find themselves in. Worship and study with us as we fix our eyes on Jesus…

Sunday, February 26, 2023 - Pastor Ryp Hankins is giving the message titled "The Battle for Purity." In this message, he discusses the ongoing war inside every person claiming to have a personal relationship with Jesus. Yes, this person may be saved. However, the battle rages for personal integrity and purity that are pleasing to the Lord. The Word of God identifies the things that defile a person, and the question we all face is what we do with them. Do we allow them to remain or take them captive and cast them out of our lives? That's what the battle for purity consists of. Worship and study with us as we strive for victory...

Sunday, February 19, 2023 – We are still studying how to live a victorious Christian life and using Hebrews 12:1-3 as our text. Today's message title is "Run with Purpose – There's Joy Ahead." The writer says, "for the Joy set before Him, He endured the cross, scorning its shame and sat down at the right of the Father." There's a lot of 'meat' in this short passage. Our focus is understanding the "JOY" set before Jesus as He suffered on the cross. What was the Joy? How can He have Joy amid intense suffering? Can we have Joy amid our suffering? How did Jesus handle the shame of the cross? We try to answer these questions and more in our study. You're encouraged to listen in and learn with us…

Sunday, February 12, 2023 - This week's message stays on the same theme as Living the Christian life, titled "Run to Win." Our text is still found in Hebrews 12:1-3 where the writer describes the Race we are to run. It's defined by three major areas. 1. We must run with determination and perseverance. 2. The course we run is marked out for us. 3. We are to fix our eyes on Jesus. We discover some exciting and encouraging Godly truths as we work through these points, starting with point 3. God is good, just, loving, and yet demanding. He is the only one qualified to "mark out the race course, yet so many times, we are tempted to alter the course when it seems too hard and demanding. So, we're tempted to either give up or change it to meet our fleshly desires. The enemy is subtle and deceiving. We must run the race with determination to not drift off course by him or even our misguided feelings. Worship and study along with us as we "run to Win."

Sunday, February 5, 2023 - The message today is "Preparing to Run the Race." Whether it's a 100-yard dash or a 26-mile marathon, running a race requires preparation. Being properly prepared is the key to finishing, let alone winning. Similarly, preparing to run the "Christian race" requires adequate preparation. It's safe to say that many people that have given up on the Christian race probably were not prepared at the beginning and were given proper expectations of what to expect along the way. That's what this message is about. Our text is Hebrews 12:1-3. The writer of Hebrews instructs the runners (you and I) to throw off the things that hinder and the Sin that so easily entangles - before - one starts the race. We will discover the differences between the things that "hinder" and the "sin." Hindrances make the race more complex and challenging; Sin is a disqualifier. And there's so much more to discuss regarding hindrances potentially turning into Sin and, just as importantly, becoming "Stumbling Blocks" to those watching our race. There's much to learn here, so you're encouraged to join us in worship and listen to the message. Once again, preparation for the race is the key...
