A bigger house, nicer car, better vacations. Wanting more isn't always bad, but are we looking for satisfaction in the right places? It's not about how much we have, but what we do with what we already have. Maybe it’s about being “rich in good deeds.” Join us this weekend as we learn a new perspective on Being Rich.

Even though our culture continues to tell us to get more, we know we are already rich. And since God has already blessed us with so much, we can be a blessing to others. We are learning how to be rich in what matters most. Lead pastor David Beaty continues our series this weekend by looking at how, with the right heart, we can become very excited and extremely passionate about being "rich givers." Join us for this incredibly practical message.

Wanting more isn't always bad, but are we distracted by looking for satisfaction in the wrong places? It's not about what we have, but what we do with what we have that really matters. The bottom line is if you honestly believe that more money will solve most of your problems, you are under the influence of money because more money will not solve most of your problems. What will solve most of your problems is more Jesus. Lead Pastor David Beaty continues our series by looking at something that makes all kinds of promises it can’t keep. This is stuff you need to hear!

So many of us go through life wanting more, believing that if we just had more stuff, more things, more money, then we’d be happy. The problem is we don’t realize that what we have isn’t who we are. Instead of trying to get rich, we must realize that we already are rich. So with God’s help, it’s time to be rich in what matters most. Lead pastor David Beaty starts off our new series by looking at some good news and some bad news. We hope you’ll join us as we look at why we all may need an attitude adjustment in this touchy, touchy area.

God has invited us to be part of His story and to do that we have been looking at how we can influence the culture around us. Using movies to continue this conversation makes a lot of sense because ours is a movie-watching culture. And yes, that even includes a movie like the one we will be using this weekend. Our God At The Movies series concludes with the film: “The Princess Bride”. This film is based on a fairy tale and has become one of the most quoted movies of our time. There is silliness, crazy antics, a sword fight or two, but there are also lessons that we can learn from. We hope you’ll join us this weekend as lead pastor David Beaty takes us on a movie journey that will have us laughing and maybe looking at life a little differently than we did before.

Our God At The Movies series continues this weekend with the film: “Gravity”. On the surface this may appear to be an action movie but it is actually a commentary on our current cultural climate that contains great truth. So many people in our world are floating through space in isolation because of past events. In addition, we as a society have increasingly tried to replace faith with science and when we try to explain away all of life through science and information we lose our sense of wonder and our capacity for faith in God. We hope you’ll join us this weekend as lead pastor David Beaty shows how “Gravity” gives us a great picture of why we need to be rooted, or grounded, in Christ and how this leads to thankfulness and strengthened faith.

Week 2 of our God At The Movies series will feature the film: “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.” This week we will jump into a conversation about how we are to react to the culture around us. We'll see how this movie has an important message for Christians and non-Christians alike that reminds us about what’s truly important in life and shares a message that echoes a truth that is found in Scripture.

One of the most underestimated elements in effectively communicating the Gospel is our responsibility, as Christ followers, to understand the culture and context in which God has planted us. Paul took time to walk around and understand the context in which he finds himself in order to share the gospel. This is because Paul understood, we must learn how to connect parts of our culture to the message of Scripture. In the recently released Disney movie "Frozen," we see themes of sacrificial love that are closely related to the way Scripture defines love. This story of a girl sacrificing her life for her sister can point us back to the sacrificial love we are called to embody as Christians.

So what do you do between Christmas and New Year's Day? Take down decorations? Travel? Maybe just go back to work? Or maybe in the midst of whatever you're doing, you stop, breathe, and reflect on all that is happening around you. In this weekend’s message lead pastor David will help us take a much needed deep breath before we head into a New Year. Trust us, we need this moment!

It's the story that changes everything: God humbles Himself to become a part of His own creation, is born in a small town to a young poor family, and the world is never the same. Join us for one of our Christmas services as Lead Pastor David Beaty reminds us once again that the birth of the Christ child is still changing everything.
