It isn't enough to know where we must go in order to experience joy-we actually have to actively pursue the source, who is Jesus! Unfortunately for us, we are human, so sin and disobedience can occasionally or even frequently interfere with our experiences of joy. Pastor Jason speaks today about how we can retain joy through maintaining our right relationship with God.

Two weeks ago, as Pastor Jason kicked off our new series on joy, we learned where we can't look to find joy. Join us this week as we learn where we can find a joy that will sustain us even in difficult circumstances and how to practically live this joy on a daily basis.

We all know the holidays are supposed to be a time filled with joy, but do they leave you feeling more like the Grinch than the angels on the first Christmas morning? In this first message of our new series titled "Joy," Pastor Jason reminds us where we cannot look in order to find joy and encourages us to evaluate our hearts and choose to be joyful this season.

In this final week of our series titled "Signs," Pastor Jason talks about one sign of the end of time that no one will be able to ignore-the return of Jesus. For some, this will be a joyous occasion, while for others it will prompt intense morning and regret. Join us as we learn why sharing our faith can't wait and about the great reward God has in store for us as we work to accomplish His will on earth.

Pastor Jason continues his series titled "Signs" by taking a look at some of the moral decay that has continued in our society to determine whether we are primed for a national revival of faith or are headed towards our own destruction because of our choices.

Pastor Jason continues our current sermon series about the End Times by speaking on the topic of repentance, pointing specifically to the wicked behavior of the people of Nineveh and how God spared them when they turned from their ways. In this message Pastor Jason looks at the moral decay of our own culture and the likelihood of judgment visiting America.

You don't have to be a Christian to be intrigued with the end of the world. We can see this fascination reflected in Hollywood or in magazine and newspaper headlines, yet one question has yet to be answered: when is this all going to take place? You may find yourself wondering whether we are living in the end-times now. In this first message of the new sermon series "Signs," join us as Pastor Jason outlines some of the events we can expect as the world comes to an end.

In this final week of our Serve the World celebration and pledge drive, Pastor Jason introduces us to four amazing ministry partners who are responding to the Lord's call here in the Kansas City area and in some of the darkest places in the world. Listen to hear why our missions dollars are so important to these individuals and the people they minister to as well.

During this week's message you will be introduced to two of our partners who are working to make a difference in the lives of children here in the Kansas City area and international. Deborah Mann explains how our missions dollars and volunteer activities are changing the lives of underprivileged children at Emmanuel's Child Development Center, and Mary Mahon, missionary to Costa Rica, shares about the students she is working to reach through Latin America Childcare (LACC) and "Chicas de Promesa."

We are called to do many things as Christians that require us to be unselfish. We can be unselfish with our love, our time, and especially with our money. In fact, extreme generosity is one thing that set Christians apart from those around them when the church was founded. Join us this week as Pastor Jason shares why generosity is so important to God as we kick off our Serve the World campaign.
