Message for 11.15.20 | Have you ever felt like life is an uphill climb and you can’t see the top? The great news for anyone who feels like giving up is that God will never give up on you. His love is ready to comfort us and bring us hope. God is love and love never gives up.

Message for 11.09.20 | The past is like a prison that holds many people captive, but according to 1 Corinthians 13:5, “love keeps no record of wrongs.” Thanks to God’s love, those prison doors are now unlocked, and we are free to go. All we need is the courage to walk into the future.

Message for 11.01.20 | Love begins at home, in our closest relationships, but often the very place we are meant to give and receive love is filled with stress and separation. God’s love doesn’t just change the world, it can also change a home and restore your relationships. Scripture Passage: 1 Corinthians 13:4-5. 

Message for 10.25.20 | God’s love is the one thing that can change everything. His love can turn enemies into friends and can free our hearts from the weight of bitterness, anger and hate. In this message we explore the power of God’s love and how it really is “a way of life that is best of all” (1 Cor. 12:31).

Message for 10.18.20 | Sometimes when things don’t go our way, we think it must be due to a lack of faith. People believe that only big faith produces big results, and that doubts have no place in a Christ follower’s life. But the Bible records what happened when Thomas, the most famous doubter in the world, encountered the risen Jesus. He was met with compassion and affirmation, not disqualification. It’s not the size of your faith that matters, but the object of your faith. Jesus is big enough to handle your doubts.

Message for 10.11.20 | Uncertainty causes a lot of anxiety. We have a sinking feeling we won’t be able to handle the challenges that are coming. The truth is, God’s plans often require more of us than we think we can give. But the story of Moses reminds us that God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called. You can face whatever is ahead of you, because of the God who is beside you.

Message for 10.04.20 | People seem more divided than ever. We are tempted to think that those with differing opinions and priorities are ruining the world. The virus can even make us feel like other people are dangers to be avoided. But Jesus reminds us, that while we need to be wise in how we interact with others, that people are not our biggest problem, but rather our greatest purpose. In a famous story of the Good Samaritan, Jesus inspires us to love others, even though we might consider them our enemies.

Message for 09.26.20 | Join us for guest speaker, Pastor Montell Jordan | Worship is defined as ascribing worth or value toward God. It goes beyond songs. It is an outward expression of our inward condition. We worship God when we place everything we do before Him as an offering. 

Message for 09.20.20 | This has been a season of financial challenges. People have lost jobs, lost hours, lost businesses and lost opportunities. We not only struggle with today, we fear the future. A lie can take root that says, ‘I won’t have enough.’ Not enough food. Not enough money. Not enough customers. Not enough retirement. In a famous scene, Jesus asks his disciple Phillip to feed a crowd of 5,000—an impossible request. Then Jesus multiplies one meal into enough for a multitude. God can provide in ways we cannot predict. You will have enough.

Message for 09.13.20 | Life has gotten more complicated. Whether it’s school, shopping, travel or working, we are all having to adjust to new ways of doing things, and it can feel overwhelming. When a friend named Martha reached a breaking point and complained about having to do it all, Jesus reminded her that she was free to choose her priorities. You can’t do everything. You just have to do one thing: connect to God. His love can help you set healthy boundaries so you feel more empowered and less overwhelmed.
