Does your life produce evidence of your devotion to Jesus? Many people say that they know Jesus or even follow Him, but when you look at their fruit it does not look very Christ-like. In this sermon we review true what it means to have true obedience to the teachings of Jesus.

Mark Bouman shares his incredible life story, from a turbulent childhood to a civil war in East Asia, and how the Lord has provided for his every need. He gives us life lessons from beyond the trenches and encourages us to trust that God is turning our wounding into riches. 

This episode concludes our summer series 'Words of Wisdom'- seeking God's guidance for everyday life. Proverbs 9 utilizes the metaphor of two women to contrast wisdom with folly, and paints a clear picture of the opposing destination of these two paths. Proverbs encourages us to set our eyes on things above so that our minds will follow in the righteous way of the Lord. 

We all carry past hurt. The Bible gives us a pathway for true healing and forgiveness. Open Proverbs with us as we discover what God says about how to live freely through Him. 

Godly wisdom differs from the wisdom of man. God promises in His word that if we diligently seek, we will find Him. What are you seeking after today? In this message you will find principles for living a life informed by heavenly wisdom rather than the world's empty promises. 

Continuing with our summer series in Proverbs, this sermon highlights how our relationship with God should influence our approach to work- emphasizing the importance of seeing work as an extension of worship. In God's economy, work and rest exist in harmony to allow us to live a life of meaning and purpose. 

In ancient times, people trusted in their chariots and military might to protect them. Today, we place our hope in money, careers, relationships, and anything else that might promise to fulfill. Psalm 20 reminds us that God alone can be trusted, and our hope is best-placed in Him to be our savior and provider. 

"In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight." A familiar verse to many, but what does it mean to "acknowledge God" in everything? In this message we explore how KNOWING God in everything is the key to favor, peace, and a solid foundation. 

Our guest speaker Gene explores the question of why God allows turbulence and adversity in our lives. God is not removed from you in times of struggle- he is with you "in the boat." In his mercy, God is refining you in the fire so that you can come to greater understanding of your true identity and His love. 

Paul writes in this last chapter of Galatians that there is nothing to boast in except our Lord Jesus Christ. Are you marked by that kind of humility, or do you spend your time thinking of how you will achieve the next personal milestone? In this sermon, you will be challenged to strongly consider what your speech says about you and your priorities.
