The Mother's Day message was brought forth by Minister Missy Hightower. She tells the story of what God has done for her and her family. Even though this message was on Mother's Day, it was for both men and women. As Christians, we need to understand how much God loves us and that we are to show that to this world. It is a great responsibility to show Christ to others and we should be aware of that. This world is a dying place and is in dire need of a Savior. You can be the light of Jesus to someone. If you are unsure of yourself or don't know where you stand with Him, give it all to Jesus and He will take care of it!

In the message "Ready To Give An Answer", Pastor Jerry looks at how as Christians what kind of influence we can have on others when questions are asked. Influence can be positive or negative. Using one's influence to manipulate others for the sake of one's own benefit is self serving, and is akin to witchcraft. While using one's influence to benefit others is often a sign of self sacrifice and concern. God has given YOU influence... AND He will give you opportunity. When this happens, we need to be prepared by getting in to prayer, studying the Word of God and understanding what God has done for us. Inviting people to church is good but telling others what Jesus Christ has done for you is even greater. And that they can have it also. So, BE READY TO GIVE AN ANSWER!

In the message "Oh Precious Lamb", Pastor Jerry looks at the Passover and what it means to Christians. The Passover should be a celebration of grace. This was made possible by the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ. The Passover Lamb, completely blotted out our sins, as if they never happened. Forgive is to release from liability... but the Blood of Jesus didn't just merely "forgive me", it "cleansed me". It completely exonerated me of sin. So, let the celebration of grace begin! We are not just sinners saved by grace, we are a NEW Creation in CHRIST!

In the message "ESCAPE", Minister Brian Hall looks at the story of Paul and Silas and how it relates to us today. Paul and Silas were doing a great work for The Lord when they were confronted by a mob of people and thrown into prison. This can be the same for us. We may not necessarily have a mob of people come against us but it could be a mob of evil spirits. In most cases it will be spirits of some sort. It could be addiction, anger, lust or many other things. These things can weigh you down to the point you feel chained or in bondage. The situation you may find yourself in could be just like the prison that Paul and Silas experienced. The dark jail cell, the loneliness or the pain from being beaten. Yet, they began to give God the praise and thanks in their darkest hour. Then what happened? The foundation of the prison was shaken and they were made free. If you are in that dark time of your life, give God your praise, give Him thanks, worship Him! He will set you free! Jesus Christ laid out the ESCAPE plan when He went to Calvary. He paved a way for us to be free. His desire is that we love and worship Him in every part of our lives. When we do this, we come into a greater relationship with Him and begin to experience the many blessings He has for us. Paul and Silas were committed to praising The Lord no matter their situation. Will you join me in doing the same?

"Empty Vessels" is the last message in the three part series titled "Empty". In this message Pastor Jerry looks at how we must be empty in order for God to fill us with Grace. A vessel filled with wickedness cannot be filled with grace. A vessel that is already full cannot be filled. It must be emptied. Emptying ourselves of the dishonorable things is something we are responsible for. Once this done, God can cleanse us and fill us with His Holy Spirit.

"Running On Empty" is the second message in the series "Empty". In this message, Pastor Jerry looks at how as Christians we can become empty. This usually happens when we begin to be led by the carnal side instead of The Holy Spirit. It usually comes from going through difficult times. We tend to feel like there isn't anything left in us. Our lives are going to experience trials and difficulties. Just because we are serving The Lord, doesn't mean we aren't going to have tough times or go through things. But our faith and hope needs to reside in Jesus Christ. He will get us through any trial or difficulty. He promised to never leave us nor forsake us. He will fill you back up so you can go on. If you are feeling empty, there is no greater way to get filled back up than to go back to the filling station of Jesus Christ!

"Empty Tombs" is part one of series titled "Empty". In this message, Pastor Jerry looks at how Jesus overcame death and how His empty tomb relates to us. This story shows the power and love that Jesus had for all of us. He took all of our sins upon Him and took them to the Cross. But to many this story is hard to believe. His Word even declares the first carriers of our faith had doubts. But they sought the truth and Jesus readily revealed Himself and proved their doubts unfounded. He will do the same for us, if we seek Him. The truth is JESUS HAS RISEN! Jesus' tomb was emptied by His victory over death, so through Him we have hope of eternal life!

On Sunday March 20th God moved in a way that caused Pastor Jerry to preach an impromptu message. This was NOT his planned sermon, but came from what God had laid on his heart. In this message "God Is More Than Enough", Pastor Jerry looks at how God is able to fill all our needs even though we don't look for Him to. Many of us are facing great difficulties that seem to weigh heavily on us. These things aren't anything that God can't fix or cure, they are well within His capabilities! However, we often look to other things than Him for answers. Our God is The Almighty (The All Sufficient One) so we need to trust on Him as such. He wants to be there for us. So, let's put our complete trust in God and give Him all of the glory!

"His Church, Our Charge" is the last message in the series "The Church". In this message, Pastor Jerry discusses how the church belongs to Jesus Christ and what our charge is to do His work. As Christians, we are a part of the church but don't have rights to change any mandates of Jesus Christ. We often think we do and that is when we get in trouble. The mandate and message are actually 2 things: evangelism and discipleship. Evangelism is preaching the good news to the unbeliever. Discipleship is teaching the believer to observe what Jesus taught. We use our gifts and talents to accomplish this mission. What can you do to step into your position in the Kingdom of God?

"What The Church Is & Why I Love It" is part two of the series "The Church". In this message, Pastor Jerry looks at what the church is, not in just the natural life but more importantly in the spiritual life and also why he loves it. To get this picture, we need look at it from God's perspective. The church is the body of Jesus Christ. That means it is you and me! He is the chief cornerstone that our faith is built on. The church is the entity of God that is ordained to carry on the mission of Jesus Christ. So, please join me in carrying on this mission and win this world for Jesus!
