We talked a lot about commitment in our God at the Movies series and we want to take that question to the next level: Are You ‘All In’? Are you all in when it comes to Jesus and His Church? Are you all in when it comes to your marriage and your family? Are you all in when it comes to doing your best at whatever it is you set out to do? Of course we know how we all want to answer, but here’s a truth we can’t escape: You can’t change what you deny.

Christmas celebrations are wrapping up, the trees are coming down and family is heading home. Just a Christmas comes to a close it’s time turn the page to a new year. Whether, we look back at 2017 with fondness or we’re just glad it’s over there is always the hope that next year will be better. God has a lot to say about making 2018 the best yet.

God is everywhere… He’s even at the movies! This week’s movie is: Hacksaw Ridge. How willing are you to stand up for what you believe? Are you willing to die for what you believe? The story of Desmond Doss as an unarmed conscientious objector challenges all of us to live out our convictions. This week lead pastor David Beaty will guide us through a discussion on this movie and what it has to say to all of us.

God is everywhere… He’s even at the movies! This week’s movie is La La Land. What if you could do what you really love to do? What if it took a lot of hard work and people did not understand, but you pursued it anyway? God put something inside each of us that is burning to find its way out. This Sunday lead pastor David Beaty will share with us about the cost of letting that something out, and the cost of keeping it in.

God is everywhere…He’s even at the movies! This week’s movie is: Arrival. When mysterious spacecraft touch down all around the globe, an elite team races against time to investigate. This Sunday, lead pastor David Beaty will show us that when God shows up we have to be willing to put our fear aside and make ourselves vulnerable. When God reveals himself to us, we must be willing to allow it to change us.

Over the next 2 weeks or so we will all get a chance to live out our faith. We will have meals and gatherings with all kinds of family, friends and total strangers. Does it really matter that we are Christ followers? Is there just a nice warm feeling we get at Christmas, or is there supposed to be a real difference in the way we live our lives and how we treat others? This Sunday lead pastor David Beaty will guide us in asking the question: Are these holiday clichés or is it possible they can be real life experiences?

Every communicator knows that when you speak or write there are really 3 different meanings: What you meant to say, what you actually say, and what people think you said. This week lead pastor David Beaty will help us look at one Christmas prediction made by a prophet named Isaiah. We will look at what he meant to say, what he actually said, and what everyone thought he said. Believe it or not, this really will make a difference for us this Christmas.

Ask yourself: What is Christmas all about? Now ask this: What would Jesus say Christmas is all about? Is there a difference in the way we see Christmas and the way He sees it? This Christmas season we will be focusing on a different way of looking at this holiday. What do we get from Christmas, really? This week, lead pastor David Beaty will be talking about: What a weird place to start Christmas! Bring a friend along as we take a different look at “the most wonderful time of the year!”

How hard is it for you to make a decision about something or someone? Why does it seem like it’s getting harder for some of us? What if we could give you simple steps to follow from God that would help with this decision-making process? We think that might be worth your time. Join us this Sunday as lead pastor David Beaty takes us into our second installment of Divine Direction.
