There are times God will speak to us and ask us to do things we don’t want to do. We then have a choice: obey or disobey. We can always find a ship sailing in the wrong direction and run; but we won’t run from the Lord, but INTO the Lord.

Simon Peter was an ordinary man that Jesus called to be extraordinary. Simon, literally “a reed” became Peter, literally “a rock,” through the transforming power of God’s love. As we end our series on Good or God, we see in Peter’s story how God calls our potential out of us, so we can become more than what we were before.

Never before in history have we had access to so much information and opportunity. To navigate these times, we will require discernment to choose between right and wrong, truth and error, good and evil.

The Bible calls us to be holy, just as God is holy. (1 Peter 1:15,16 )The question is: where do we get the strength or fuel to live a holy life in a broken world?

Gratitude is more than saying, “thank you” when someone gives you something. What it takes to turn the words, “thank you” into gratitude is the genuine feeling of appreciation from the heart.

Continuing our series on Good or God, Pastor Dave shows us some ways we can start Setting Our Life in Order.

The truth is, we can’t do everything; we can’t go in every direction and expect to end up in the right place. God knew this, so He gave us an internal GPS that we can turn on and allow Him to guide us. Like the GPS in our car, it is important we set our internal GPS to the right destination.

Simply believing that God exists, without recognizing His authority in our lives, is not enough for a disciple of Christ. In the conclusion of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus challenges us to make a choice to surrender our heart to Him which will produce good fruit and build a foundation for life

Most people feel pretty confident in their understanding of what is good. But who do we want to decide in our lives what is good?

Phil Cooke joins us to talk about his new book titled “The Way Back”. In this interview hosted by Pastor Dave Koop, Phil talks about why Christians aren't as engaging to the culture as they should be and what we can do to fix that.
