During week one of Message of My Life, John Salsman spoke on how life is all about keeping the faith. We have to trust that God is not done with us so don't quit even when things get difficult! So many of us live our lives like there is no end and without vision our decisions aren't disciplined. Instead we should surround ourselves with people that are pushing us forward instead of pulling us back- giving us accountability!

In the final week of Not So Average Family, Pastor Patrick speaks on finding your identify in Christ and how good advice is critical when you are young. As we follow Christ, we should remember to keep walking along the path that he lays out for us, even if everyone else is going the other direction. Most of our destructive patterns come from negative influences so we should strive for innocence to avoid the weight of harmful experiences. Always seek Him first!

In week three of Not So Average Family, Treasa Conrad delivered a special Mother's Day message about a mother's influence. God created man and woman to walk in their own divine roles, and for women, it's not in what they do but who they are- an influence. Through prayer moms can spiritually go where they physically can't! So don't chase perfection and continue to be the strong, positive influence that God intended for you to be!

In week two of Not So Average Family, Pastor Patrick speaks on how every decision has a value attached to it. Our culture is defining what our families' values are, but God has given us the power to establish our family's values instead. The Bible contains all of the spiritual authority that God needs to operate within us and establish the appropriate values. After all, if God is not the source of all things, then something else is!

In the third of three First Wednesdays, we focus on worship and the different ways in which the Bible prescribes how we worship God.

In week one of Not So Average Family, Tim Simmons speaks on how to establish a God-centered family by having a redeemed family. God is not interested in perfection, and when we center ourselves around Him, He will make our lives better than perfect! The price that Jesus paid was too high for us to not step into our purpose so seek redemption through His kindness. And remember: No Secrets=No Shame!

For Easter weekend Pastor Patrick breaks down why the resurrection is personally important to each of us. The goal of every created being is to be reunited with our creator, but sin is our obstacle. We cannot control or erase sin, but GOD CAN! Trust in God; He holds your future!

In week four of God Can, Pastor Patrick speaks on how God is capable of handling any situation that we encounter. Though we may have times of doubt, if we keep our eyes on the Lord and trust that He is in control, He will bring us through our struggles. However, if we lose sight of Him, we will spiral out of control and get lost in a sense of hopelessness. We must remain humble and hold loosely to what we have knowing that God CAN handle this!

In week three of God Can! Pastor Patrick speaks on how God's will is complicated, and in order to understand it, we must first understand His authority and sovereignty over our lives. How do we know we are hearing His voice in this crazy maze called life? When you feel the Holy Spirit speaking to you, take your time, get confirmation, and always consider the source. And we MUST embrace a certain uncertainty! God will allow for difficult situations along your path so lean into Him for support and guidance!
