Dr. Tim Johnson continues the series, Jars of Clay: God's Power in Our Weakness, by looking at the life of Samson. Samson was called by and set aside by God to lead in a time of great need. However, failing to guard his heart, at the end of his life was blind and imprisoned.

Living With No Regrets

Your past does not have to define your future. Using God’s word, you can silence the voice of regret, experience peace, make a fresh start and learn how to live a life with no regrets! 

Dr. Tim Johnson continues the series, Jars of Clay: God's Power in Our Weakness, by looking at the life of Paul (formerly Saul). Formerly a persecuter of followers of The Way, Saul had an unexpected encounter with Jesus that transformed his life despite all of the things that he had done. Likewise, we are not regulated to what we might be currently or were or in the past. It can be used by God.

Who Is Jesus?

This five-day reading plan taps into the pivotal question asked and debated for generations: Who Is Jesus? During this devotional journey, Pastor Louie Giglio invites you to meet God in both your intellect and heart by uncovering what history and Scripture have to say about Jesus.  

In this message of the series Jars of Clay: God's Power in Our Weakness, Dr. Tim Johnson looks at the story of Ruth and how sometimes God leads you where you didn't plan to go in order to produce in you what you couldn't achieve on your own; embrace vertical faith not horizontal. 

 Troy Heller, Pastor of Family Ministries, in this message of the series Jars of Clay: God's Power in Our Weakness, by looking at Joseph.  Joseph was wronged by a number of people but continued to keep his focus on God and to let His light shine through our imperfections

Troy Heller, Pastor of Family Ministries, in this message of the series Jars of Clay: God's Power in Our Weakness, by looking at the life of David. God plucked him out of where he was to lead Israel. God noticed him, looked at his heart and told him that he was not disconnected. God wanted David to show these things in order to let Jesus shine through. 

Finishing the series, Who Do You Say I am, Dr. Tim Johnson looks at the relevance of the Resurrection of Jesus and some of the evidence of His resurrection (Mark 16:1-8). The resurrection of Jesus is the pillar of the Christian faith. There is nothing that He cannot do and that He lives in us which allows us to navigate life's events with hope. 

In this Good Friday message, Dr. Tim Johnson looks at Mark 15:1-20 and the crucifixion of Jesus after being betrayed, disowned and arrested. 

 Continuing the series, Who Do You Say I am, Dr. Tim Johnson looks at the final day of Jesus (Mark 15:1-20). Jesus knew that His death was the plan and it was not a surprise. He suffered the unthinkable so that we could experience what was unreachable. The cross is bad news for each of us as we are confronted with the fact that there is something fundamentally broken inside of us. It is also good news  as it demonstrates that God is willing to do whatever is necessary to fix what sin has broken. 

  Dr. Tim Johnson, Lead Pastor, looks at Mark 14:43-65. God will use the brokeness of the world that is our present address to complete the personal transformation that He has begun. Jesus's immediate desire was to be spared what He knew was coming. However, He also knew that this desire must bow before His ultimate value to spare us. The gospel of escaping our circumstances is rarely the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

  Dr. Tim Johnson, Lead Pastor, looks at 2 Timothy 1:5-7 and the importance of sharing the faith with future generations as we are to be proactive in adding value to those around us and helping to lead them to Christ. Along with member John Liesveld, members representing  Gen Z, Gen Y, Gen X and Boomers share how they have been impacted by people in their life in following Christ and how they themselves are impacting those around them.
