Are you one of those people who loves boating? Getting out on the open water in the sunshine...you know the feeling, right? What words would you use respond to the emotions you feel if all of a sudden your boat gets hit with a massive wave causing you to be near to capsizing?

Fear? Anxiety? Fill in the blank!

In our message today from Matthew 8:23-27, Pastor Dave Flannery shows us how Jesus' twelve disciples, who just witnessed him perform miracles in healing Peter's mother-in-law and a leper, now were struggling with fear as their first-century wooden vessel was taking on water in a horrible storm. Despite the fear, the storm and the uncertainty of their future, they had a secret weapon on board that they did not utilize.

Listen to the message to find out how we can deal with chaos, uncertainty and fear by taping into the same secret weapon.

Where is the first place you turn for help when you are sick or hurting? 

Is it the medicine cabinet? Maybe a pain killer? Or is it alcohol or drugs? Maybe your natural first option is to call a doctor or a friend.

In Matthew 8:1-3, Jesus is approached by a leper who asks for healing. Leper's were considered unapproachable because of the skin disease they bore, but Jesus does not let that bother him. 

"When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him. Suddenly a leper came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Jesus was always willing to heal as we see in today's passage from Pastor Dave Flannery. As believers, we are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus. If you are in need of prayer please let us know. We would be happy to pray with you.

When your time on earth ends, how do you want your life to be remembered?

It's an interesting question, and one that is very important because we will all be remembered for something.

As a believer, our ultimate goal is to know that when we get to Heaven, we will hear our God say the six words, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

Our passage today is in Matthew 8:5-13 (Read along with us)

Which God do you prefer? The God of the Old Testament or the God revealed in Jesus in the New Testament?

In today's message, Pastor Dave Flannery talks about Jesus' use and affirmation of the Old Testament scriptures.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. (Heb. 13:8)

Do you know what your purpose is?

God created us with a purpose, but often we live life without learning what that is. What is your purpose?

In Matthew 5:13, Jesus tells his followers, “You are the salt of the earth" and in verse 14, "you are the light of the world."

Today, Pastor Dave Flannery shares how we as believers can keep from being ineffective and stay salty and bright.

Why don't we pray as we should?

There are several reasons why Christians fail in this area; being too busy, unbelief, lack of discipline and seemingly unanswered prayer are just a few.

Who are you following?

They say that most of us are following someone or something. Maybe it's a sports team, artist or your favorite YouTube channel or podcast.

Today we are looking at the people who accepted Jesus' invitation to follow him and how that decision impacted their lives. Enjoy!

Have you ever asked the question, "why does God allow us to face trials?"

In today's message we hope to answer that question. It's hard for us to imagine why Jesus had to face temptation in the desert. He teaches us how to come out smelling like roses.

Why did a perfect man need to be baptized? Good question, right?

Does it surprise you to know that God allows us to face hard times? It's true, and we see it throughout the history of Israel in the Old Testament. 

When we choose to rebel against God, or go our own way He does not stop us, but there are consequences to our actions. Yet even in these times, God remembers His covenant relationship with his people and is faithful to his promise to provide restoration. That is exactly what He did in sending His Son Jesus.

God is always faithful.
