Senior Pastor Byron Beck speaks on the well-known parable of the prodigal son. In this message it is pointed out that there is more to look at than just one son's wayward living. There is another son that display's immense self-centeredness when asked to celebrate that his brother is alive and home. Many of us outwardly display the right kind of living, but are very wrong on the inside.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck preaches from the text of Luke regarding the parable of the lost son. Like the son in this parable, we want what God can give us more than we want to know Him. This sermon gets to the heart of self-centered pursuits that we all fall prey to in our lives.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck speaks on what defines a person. What defines you? What is your foundational identity? Your American heritage? Your family name? Your work? How about your spiritual convictions - your faith? We learn through the Word of God that these are most important in defining us as people.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck begins a series of messages pertaining to the parables of the lost. This particular sermon deals with the parable of the lost sheep and how remarkably similar we are to sheep. What do you think of when one refers to sheep? Fluffy, innocent, cute? When Jesus refers to people as sheep, He really makes the crude parallel regarding stupidity. We are so unable on our owns to find our way home. The parallel powerfully reminds us of our need for a savior. Taken from the gospel of Luke.

Associate Pastor Nathan Coleman speaks on the second message out of the series The Dangerous Church. This message deals with what being dangerous for Christ really means. At the core of this teaching is the Parable of the Talents. The challenge is for everyone following Christ to unbury the abilities, resources and opportunities Christ has placed in our reach and use them for His kingdom. We cannot be gripped by fear if we want to do great things.

General Baptist National Missions Director Dr. Stephen Gray starts a two week series called Dangerous Church. This particular series has been adapted from Craig Groeschel. Dr. Gray describes in detail what the church has become - safe. We live in a culture of safety. This safety mindset puts up walls that keep us from doing real ministry and reaching souls for Christ. We must remember that Jesus called us to be different than the world and do, for Him, some things that involve risk, pain and loss. We must lose ourselves for Him and His kingdom.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck speaks about getting ourselves ready for those Plan B moments in life. Life is hard and can be different than we expect. But with Christ, He can make a way. A message of hope and faith.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck delivers a sermon that deals with how God uses imperfect people in low-profile areas of work. Through Jesus' example, we are shown how it's not about our egos or our feelings, but it's about glorifying the Lord in all we do. If you want to grow and become more like Jesus, you must place yourself in some ministry that God can use you through. Everyone has a place in the ministry of Christ.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck speaks about the importance of preparation in our lives. We all understand what this means for us physically. If one is asked to run 15 miles and has never taken the time to prepare, the trek would be impossible. Likewise, in our spiritual lives we need to engage in preparation to achieve the goals at hand. Christ has called us to dedicate ourselves to Him in all that we do. Therefore, it is imperative that we engage in the necessary training to fulfill the goals set forth in a life of faith.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck continues the theme on spiritual development as he speaks about the causes of stalling out on our Christian journey. If we desire to be close to Jesus or be "Christ-centered", we must deal with the sludge that blocks the way. A great message about working on our faith and becoming close to Christ. A deep look at where we find ourselves on the spiritual continuum (explorer to Christ-centered).
