2017 Christmas Eve morning message.

God’s grace doesn’t exempt the Christian from effort or hardship. God’s grace enables us the Christian to persevere unto the end.

Have you ever been dissatisfied with your performance as an employee? Maybe disappointed by how you parent? Or, you stepped on the scale and said, " I need help.” We all can relate to one of more of these scenarios. What each of them has in common is the recognition of the need for change and growth. The same is true for the Christian life. Most of us want to grow in Christ, yet are frustrated by the lack of growth in Christ. We’re wondering what I am doing wrong? This message will hopefully help you unlock the door to growth in Christ.

Each day each social media users update their status on various social media platforms.  We inform our social network what we're up to and how we're feeling.  Have you ever given thought to what your status is before God?  Let me help you out--it's either guilty or righteous. This message provides a basic introduction into the doctrine of justification-- the act of God’s grace whereby the sinner is declared righteous solely through faith in the redemptive work of Christ. You will discover why it is necessary, its basis, and how one can be justified.

When you eat this bread, you will never go hungry ever again.

Has someone ever told you,“I’m changed!” only to later discover that the professed change was superficial?   Those moments hurt. They leave us disappointed, maybe even betrayed and skeptical of such declarations. Maybe we wish we could know how to evaluate real change. We can. Luke 19:1-10 is a portrait of a real change that Jesus brings. When Jesus turns the heart of a sinner into a saint, he turns around the whole life.

The secret to change is a total renovation of the heart. In this message, Pastor Tim explains who needs this change, why we need it, and how it is accomplished.

Any election is filled with uncertainty and anxiety, especially when the stakes are high. One election that isn’t shrouded in uncertainty but certainty, is divine election. Divine election is a sure election that gives comfort to the Christian.

Close the door on temptation by learning how to recognize and resist the tricks and treats of the devil.

Church membership is a gift of God for the growth of the Christian and the Church.
