The distinguishing characteristics we’re to model from the early church are:

1. Reaching people for Jesus.

2. Carrying out genuine worship.

3. Making God’s Word a priority.

We’ve all been there… a moment, a decision, a desire that has the potential to put potential future good in jeopardy.

What do we do when we face situations like these? How do we live day to day but keep our eyes on the big picture? How would God have us proceed? How can God help us, prepare us and protect us?

This message takes a look at an individual from the Old Testament who we can learn from and make sure our momentary pleasures don’t ruin lifelong blessings.

As we read in the Bible, we find men and women whose lives intersected with Jesus and they were never the same again… their lives were changed forever. And the thing is, Jesus wants the same for you and me today. During this series, we’ll be looking at different Jesus encounters in the Bible and seeing what God has to say. Because in today’s world, change can be exciting or scary, but Jesus knows exactly how much we need it.

Take Away / Application: May the passion of living and sharing the Gospel, along with reaching those who do not know Jesus, dominate our lives.

Thankfulness is a rare trait these days. Whether it’s the next app we download, order of groceries we pick up or home purchase we make, we’re accustomed to getting what we want and quickly moving on. We desire, we acquire, then move to the next thing.

However, God’s will is for us to be thankful in all things and that thankfulness is rooted in what Jesus did on the cross for each of us. In this message, we discuss the principles involved in a thankful heart.

Baptism is an outward display and celebration of your inward decision to trust and follow Christ. It’s also a step of obedience and allows a Christ follower to communicate to the world their commitment to Christ. In Scripture, we see that people were baptized after they made a decision to follow Christ. In this message, we’ll discuss why baptism is a key step in every Christians relationship with Jesus.

We place value on so many things, cars, houses, time, etc., but how much value do we place on a person’s soul?

Every day we invest our time, resources and finances in various areas. How are we investing in people’s souls? God gives us two key ways of investing in others: divine intersects and relationships. In this message, we learn how to practically put these into practice.
