July 12, 2015Guardrails-The-Consumption-AssumptionIt is such an interesting contrast in the church that 90% of the problems people come to us with are related to sex and money. In most cases, they stem from someone’s lack of self-control. And, oddly enough, the two areas of scriptural teaching most disregarded are the teachings around sex and money. Since we talked about sex last week, you guessed it, this week we will talk about money in general, and greed specifically. This weekend lead pastor David Beaty will guide us toward putting some guardrails in our lives in this touchy-touchy area of dealing with our money....more52minPlay

June 27, 2015Guardrails-Direct-And-ProtectEverybody knows what a guardrail is, but for the most part they are that invisible part of our driving experience. We’re glad they’re there when we need them, but we pay no attention to them. So how do they apply to our lives? For the next 5 weeks we will look at how a guardrail can become a personal standard of behavior that becomes a matter of conscience. The goal is the same as the guardrail on the road – to keep us out of the ditch. This weekend lead pastor David Beaty will introduce us to this idea of creating guardrails in our lives that will protect us in our relationships, our finances, and so many other areas of life....more52minPlay

June 14, 2015God-Never-Said-That-God-Will-Never-Give-You-More-Than-You-Can-HandleLife happens, sometimes not in the way we want it to. Whether its relationship issues, a health problem or a financial situation sometimes it feels like we can’t take anymore. When life reaches this point often a well-meaning Christian will tell you “Don’t worry God will never give you more than you can handle.” There’s just one problem with that…God never said that! Listen as we look at how God sometimes uses life’s tough situations to bring us closer to Him....more39minPlay
June 07, 2015God-Never-Said-That-God-Wants-You-Happy!There are many statements attributed to God that, very simply put: God Never Said That! This weekend we’re going to talk about what may be the most popular misbelief about God in our western version of Christianity. That is that God wants you happy. As much as we all want this to be true, if we believe this it starts us down the road of other misbeliefs. This is one series you have got to hear for yourself. Lead pastor David Beaty points us in the right direction of what it is God wants for all of us....more43minPlay
