Would you try to run a marathon without training first? That would be crazy! But, for many of us that is how we want our relationship with Christ to be. We want to love like Him on a moment’s notice, but we haven’t taken to the time to train ourselves to live like Him. This week we are going to take a look at some very practical ways that we can have real and lasting “Life Change”. We are going to talk about what steps you can take today to live more like Jesus.

The person you are has been shaped by those who have loved you and by those who have hurt you. Maybe it was your mom or you dad or your coach or a teacher. In this weekend’s message, we wrap up our Christian series by reminding us that the way we treat one another has a lasting impact.

Looking for loopholes comes naturally. Whether it’s eating all of your vegetables or being home by curfew, no one has to teach us there is a difference between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. In this weekend’s message, we ask ourselves when we’d rather be the exception than live as God intends.

God could not love you more and nothing you do will cause Him to love you less. He loves you no matter what you've done, but not because of what you've done. His love is not connected to our behavior or our character.

esus loved everyone. He ate with tax collectors and was kind to adulterers. His disciples struggled and we struggled today to understand his extraordinary love. In this message, we unwrap the two ingredients that made Jesus’ love revolutionary-the secret of the most irresistible message ever delivered

Life is full of ups and downs and everyone struggles sometimes. But do you think you could still be influential even in the struggle? You may be surprised to find that you have more influence than you thought. Can you imagine a world where someone strategically points people’s attention to our Father in heaven? Jesus says it can happen!

Have you ever been frustrated when someone expects you to play by certain rules, even though you never knew the rules or agreed to play. For many of those outside the community of the church they feel the same way. What if the Bible never said we should expect those who aren’t in a relationship with Christ to act like those of us that are?

The defining idea behind Christianity is loving one another. This is a call to return to that simple, yet difficult idea:We have to learn to treat each other with other's best interest in mind.

The early followers of Jesus did not call themselves Christians. They used the term-disciples. Join us as we look at the difference between the two and the difference it could make if we get it right. Then we have to ask are we disciples?

When things don’t go the way you hoped, do you sometimes wonder where God is? Would it surprise you to know that even those closest to Jesus felt that way at times? How we answer the question of where God is in those troubling times changes how we look at a future full of uncertainty.
