What if there was a way to prevent getting trapped in snares altogether? In Snare Part 4, our Worship Pastor, Andrew Muller, discusses a tactic to help us see snares for what they are while they're still far off.

When Satan gets us stuck in a snare he quickly lays a second snare for us to get tangled up in. With this second snare Satan whispers - "Now that I have you stuck in my snare you'll be stuck here forever. This is the new normal. You are always going to struggle with this sin."In Snare Part 2, Doug talks about what to do what Satan lays this second snare.

One of the snares that the Bible talks about is actually other people. A bad influence can derail our relationship with God. So what do we do? How do we know if a friendship or a relationship is a snare? What steps do we take if it is? What about God's plan to use us to reach out to those who need Him? Doug answers these questions and more in Snare Part 2.

It's easy to forget that there is someone constantly opposing our relationship with God. Satan is constantly laying snares to trip us up. In Snare Part 1, Doug talks about Satan's "go to" snare and what we can do to find protection from falling prey to it.

The world around us is all about the outward appearance. That mindset has unfortunately found it's way into the church too. In this one part message our Worship Pastor, Andrew Muller, talks about what really matters - the heart.

Have you ever felt like all you can think about are your failures? Have you ever feared that those failures may keep you from a relationship with God? Have you ever thought that contrary to what you've been told about God, your sins aren't really forgiven? In this one part message our guest speaker, Will Pavone, helps us see the truth about where we stand with God.

When people hear the word "salvation" they tend to put themselves into one of two groups. The first group thinks they don't need salvation because they are good enough. The second group thinks they are ruled out from salvation because they are too bad. In this one part message, Doug does his best to clearly explain the Gospel and point both groups to Jesus.

Whether we realize it or not we all have levels of brokenness in our heart. Some of us have more emotional brokenness than others, but we all need some pieces of our heart put back together. In Miracle Maker Part 6, Doug talks about what God wants to do with our emotional pain and brokenness.

We don't normally think to ask God for a miracle when it comes to our sin struggles. We figure we'll try harder and eventually beat it ourselves. But sometimes we are stuck in such a pit of sin that our only hope is the Miracle Maker. In Part 5 of Miracle Maker, Doug talks about the times when we need God to lift us out of the pit of sin we've fallen into. (Stay tuned for a song by the band!)
