Many good farewells have something in common: it places responsibility in your hands. In other words, a farewell that doesn't leave people changed (for the better) is a sign that their time together lacked depth.

Today we bid farewell to our "Words to Live By" series, and our hope and prayer is that you've found each message useful, applicable, and inspirational for change in your life. We wrap up with an encouragement: you've been given this knowledge and wisdom, so now you have the responsibility of handling it well and doing something with it. You just have to have the self-discipline to move forward, and that's exactly what we're talking about in this powerful message from Pastor Greg.

Scriptures Today: Proverbs 21:17 // Proverbs 25:28 // Galatians 5:22-23 // 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 // 2 Timothy 1:7 // Matthew 16:21-23 // Galatians 5:16-25

For as bad of shape our country is in the church is in worse shape. I cant pray for the country because I must first pray for the church. If things have to get far worse in this country to get the church to do what it should be doing than that is what we should be praying for.

We often hear that "the road to is paved with good intentions," and it's true that good intentions alone are not enough. However, we too often abuse the cliché as an excuse to dismiss focusing on intentions at all. Why you do something matters, according to God, and today Pastor Greg explores exactly why, while prompting you to examine areas of your life where the ends may not have justified the means.

Worrying won't stop the bad stuff from happening. It just stops you from enjoying the good.

Why is it "better to give than to receive?" Today, Pastor Greg explores biblical foundations for living a generous life towards God, others, and those in need.

A Masquerade is when someone or something pretends to be what it is not. Masks as our protector from getting sick has become a masquerade for our culture and a false sense of health security.

Have you ever been surprised to discover what someone was really like after knowing them for months, or even years? In hindsight, we often see little clues that should have given us warning long ago, but we were too blinded by the show played out for us. Today, Pastor Greg shares the wisdom of Proverbs regarding how a person's life reflects the true state of their heart, and how you can develop your own heart to reflect things that truly matter.

Thank you for joining us today! We hope you're blessed by this message and find impetus to grow.

All throughout our lives and throughout history it looks at times like God is not in control only to realize later that He was in control all along.

One thing Christians talk about is not trying to fight the enemy on your own: they've had thousands of years of practice, and you need God's help to make it through. We so seldom flip the switch and talk about how God has had thousands of years of practice, too, and how He proves over and over again that He's worthy of our praise, admiration, adoration, and trust. Today, Pastor Greg lays out examples of both Scripture and life to show God's faithfulness and trustworthiness to us. Thank you for being here to grow!
