What good is a gift if it is not used for the right purposes?

If God gave you the gift of a great speaking voice or you can sing well, but you instead used that voice to bully or intimidate others or to speak lies you are misusing your gift.

In today's message from Matthew 25:14-30, Pastor Dave Flannery shows us how to please God when we use His gifts in the proper way.

Have you ever faced a time of struggle or difficulty that caused you to lose all happiness?

It happens to most if not all of us. Unexpected trials can cause us to feel hopeless and without joy!

In today's message from Pastor Sam Taylor, we see that God's word, the scriptures give us hope in the midst of trials.

As we will see in Lamentations 3:22-23, despite the things we face, God is faithful.

How does someone like John the Baptist go from being a man of faith and trust, to a person who seems to doubt Jesus?

What would you give up for a chance to meet your favorite movie star, singer or athlete?

There are many famous people who charge thousands of dollars to showcase their talents. If we would just spend the money and the time, we could get up close and personal with them. Would it be worth it?

In today's message from Matthew 10: 32-39, Pastor Dave Flannery explains that if we are seeking to be acknowledged before God in Heaven, that we have to be willing to acknowledge Jesus before others. It might have a cost involved, but He is worth it.

Are you living with a "have to" mindset? Do you have a list of things that you "have to do"?

Can you imagine what it would be like to be a deep sea diver who was 100' deep in the ocean when the oxygen ran out of your tank?

How do you discern what is good and what is not good?

If we view things with our human eyes and hear them with our ears, we only get part of the story.

There is much more than what meets the eye.

In today's message, Nick Scarpa shares a passage from Mark 11:12-14, 20-26 that helps us to understand how Jesus views things.

God does not look at the outward but looks at the heart.

Can you imagine Jesus being questioned about why he and his disciples did not fast?

Wait, what? Jesus fasted for forty days in the wilderness just after his baptism by John the Baptist. He certainly knows the value of fasting!

What does your name say about you? Does your name carry a stigma with it?

The name Matthew was tied to a tax collector who defected to serve Rome as a tax collector. The Jewish people hated him because he betrayed them and overcharged them.
