If you found money in the pocket of a jacket you put away last Spring, you know a little of what it’s like to have treasure you didn’t realize. Pastor Steve presents three steps to fully realizing and resting in the God-given treasures of our salvation in Christ. From Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1:15-23, we see that our treasures are appreciated with praise, articulated in prayer, and assured with power. Steve's message follows a prayer send-off for our Haiti Missions Team.

The authority behind a message should affect how much attention we give it. Pastor Steve begins our sermon series on the book of Ephesians, a message with the authority of Christ written to those who are in Christ concerning the riches of Christ—–so that we can live like Christ. In Ephesians 1:1-2, Paul employs three tactics to connect God in Christ to the source, significance and substance of His message in order to inspire its reception and application. Steve’s message follows several updates and announcements.

Being tethered to the world leads to destruction, and even for the hop-filled Christian there are consequences of standing up for our faith. Pastor Steve preaches from 2 Chronicles 18, providing us with three incentives for allegiance to God’s Word rather than alliances with the world.

As Christians, our hope is not that this is our best life. Our hope is the life to come. Pastor Steve concludes a message begun last week from 2 Kings 18-20 with lessons from the faith of Hezekiah, whose prayer resulted in the defeat of an enemy and the deliverance of God’s people. Like Hezekiah, we can rely on a God who is worthy of our reverence, wants us to rely on Him, and works for our relief from the penalty of sin and the struggles of a hostile world. Steve’s message follows a performance of “Awesome God” by Creekside’s Generation Jesus youth worship team and a prayer for our upcoming Fall ministries beginning this Wednesday.
