Have you ever prayed for something so long, that you despaired of ever hearing an answer?  Today, we'll look at the story of Zechariah who had been praying for a child for so long that he never expected an answer.  During his crazy day at work (in the Temple) Zechariah learned an important lesson about faith and prayer.

Luke 1:5-25

How do we know that the Bible is true?  Who wrote the Bible?  When was it written?  How is it different from any other book?  Today Pastor Rich will answer these questions as we take another look at Luke's introduction to his book.

Luke 1:1-4

Have you ever wondered how you know things?  Our God is the foundation of knowledge and wants us to know Him, to know more about Him, and to know that we do know things.  Our knowledge is not based on a blind, irrational faith, but on a firm, solid foundation.  Luke wrote his gospel to someone named Theopholus so that he would know the truth of the gospel - an encounter with Jesus will change your life.  

Luke 1:1-4

Have you ever felt tied up like a kitten with a ball of yarn, or a dog with its leash wrapped around a tree?  You want to live out your faith, but seemingly can't due to circumstances at work, at home, or at school.  Maybe your own bad choices have gotten you in a bind that you can't seem to escape from.  

Today, Pastor Rich will show us how God's word can free us from the shackles that bind us so we can walk faithfully in this sinful, broken world in a way that pleases Jesus and blesses others.

Psalm 119:57-64

Have you ever felt hopeless, empty, depressed?  Today Pastor Aaron will discuss how God's word brings hope and comfort in times of joy and sorrow. God's word can nourish us when we're empty and lift us when everything seems to crash around us.

Psalm 119:49-56

Sometimes we think of God as a divine "kill joy" out to keep us from having any fun.  However in today's passage Pastor Rich will show us that with greater obedience to God's principles comes greater freedom and happiness.  When we choose disobedience to God's ways, we find increased fear, anxiety and bondage -- less freedom.

Psalm 119:41-48

No one likes to feel like they're wasting time.  We want to invest our lives in wise things, but how do we determine which things have value and which do not?  Today Pastor Rich will show us how to walk on the right path, so that we spend our lives doing what God wants, instead of wasting our lives on frivolous pleasures.

Psalm 119:33-40

Disappointment, heart ache, pain, loss, disease, death - all of us have either experienced one of these in the past, are going through it now, or will experience one in the future.  In our passage today, Pastor Rich shares that God gives us an answer for the tough times, encouragement during these times, how to get through it, and how to prepare when it happens again. 

Psalm 119:25-32

This life often brings pain and difficulties that are hard to comprehend.  In today's passage, Pastor Rich shows us how God's Word & the Holy Spirit brings us hope, joy and peace beyond anything we can understand.

Psalm 119:17-24

There are many supplements on the market today that promise to help you stay in good physical health, or help prevent illness.  However it's not always clear if these truly do what they promise.  

In our passage today, Pastor Rich will show us how the Bible gives us a prescription guaranteed to overcome sin and promote a healthy, holy spiritual life. - Psalm 119:9-16
