Scottish 19th century missionary David Livingstone wrote, "I will place no value on anything I have or possess unless it is in relationship to the Kingdom of God." This is the theme of Pastor Kevin's final message in The Good Life series from the beatitudes of Jesus in Matthew five. This Sunday we will focus our attention on the call of Jesus to pursue only the eternal, engage our world, and give ourselves wholly to Christ.

Theologian Stanley Hauerwas said, "It's hard to remember that Jesus did not come to make us safe, but rather to make us disciples, citizens of God's new age, a kingdom of surprise." Citizens of God's new age are not promised a life of ease and comfort -- in fact it is just the opposite that we are to expect -- persecution. This Sunday Pastor Kevin will deal with the 8th of Jesus' beatitudes. "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Join us for The Good Life: Our Lives on the Line.

"Speak when you are angry, and you will make the best speech you will ever regret" -- Ambrose Bierce. This Sunday Pastor Kevin will explore the seventh beatitude, "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called 'the sons of God.'" We will discover what it means to be a peacemaker, how such a life is grounded in the Trinity, and the crucial choice we must all make. Join us Sunday for Pastor Kevin's message, "The Good Life: A Remedy for the Hidden Poison of Rage."

Special guest, Chad Phillips, shares about caring for those who are considered outcasts by the world but are close to the heart of God.

A pure heart is marked by a promise that we will see God. This Sunday Pastor Kevin continues his series, The Good Life, a verse by verse look at the beatitudes, and will explore the meaning of Jesus' words, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." Join us Sunday as we learn about the loyalty, integrity, and persistence that is evident in one with a PURE HEART!

Roderick Leupp, in Knowing the Name of God wrote, "Self-giving love is the Trinity's signature." Self-giving love, as Pastor Kevin will share Sunday, is MERY. Jesus said that those who show mercy will obtain mercy. Are our lives marked by the Trinity's signature -- a demonstration of sincere mercy? This will be the focus of Pastor's message Sunday as he continues his series from Matthew 5 and the beatitudes as he preaches, "The Good Life: Marked by the Mercy of the Trinity."

Special guest, Pastor Scott, delivers a challenging Father's Day message that calls men to pass on their faith to the next generation.

F.B. Meyer said, "God has set eternity in our heart, and man's infinite capacity cannot be filled or satisfied with the things of time and sense." This great statement in light of Jesus' teaching on the mountain, "Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled," calls us to a lofty pursuit of the things of God -- indeed of God Himself. Join us Sunday as Pastor Kevin continues his series from Matthew 5, The Good Life, with the message, The Pursuit Jesus Call us to.

"The value of mourning is that it is a finite experience - it doesn't last forever!"

Jesus said that the meek, though often forgotten by the world, will one day "inherit the earth." What does that promise mean and what does it mean to be meek? These questions will form the focus of Pastor Kevin's message Sunday as he continues the series, The Good Life. Join us Sunday as we consider how to cultivate a life of meekness, how that kind of life is transformative, and discover the only opinion that matters to the meek.

Puritan preacher Thomas Watson said, "It is not so much the weeping eye God respects, as the broken heart." This Sunday Pastor Kevin will consider the second of Jesus' beatitudes and discover what He meant when He said, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4 NKJV. Join us Sunday as he preaches part two of his series, The Good Life, and unveils the importance of a broken and contrite heart.
