Faith is not just belief, it changes how I live.

Because of the resurrection, we can be adopted into God's family. Being a part of His family helps us live out our faith.

This message was part of a service that is usually held outdoors on the Sunday following April 17. Our traditional "Outdoor Service" commemorates the Sunday we HAD to meet outdoors because we could not get to the church on the Sunday following the West explosion in 2013. Although the rain kept us from meeting outdoors on this 10th anniversary of that special Sunday, we continued our tradition of expressing our gratitude for all that God has done for us throughout our recovery.

One of the greatest obstacles to us growing in our faith is the inability to fully receive the forgiveness of God. In this message we learn to move past our past so that we can be made new.

The reality of Easter changes everything and gives us the opportunity to be made new. This is the first message in the series "Made New."

Jesus was held on the cross by the necessity of His crucifixion. It was necessary for Him to die that we might live.

As surprising as it sounds, Jesus stayed on the cross because of the "joy set before Him."

It was not the nails that held Jesus on the cross. It was His love, and His humility. He died in humble obedience to the Father.

In this first sermon of the series we learn it was not the nails that held Jesus to the cross, but God's love for us.

This message talks about something that every one of us needs to experience - God's Forgiveness.
