This week, we are wrapping up our series "I Believe" with the last part of the Trinity - The Holy Spirit. Pastor Trip calls on us to ask the question, "How can you be filled with the Holy Spirit, and yet nothing in your life really changes?" I think we all have asked that question before in our lives and of other people. Pastor Trip directs us to the book of Galatians for our answer in which Paul instructs us to ALLOW the Holy Spirit to guide our lives. Our prayer is that you would daily surrender your life to Holy Spirit so you may experience true freedom in Jesus. 

This week we are continuing through our series "I Believe" with Pastor Trip taking us through the story of the Prodigal Son. The Prodigal Son is one that we are all familiar with but we may not fully understand the impact that the story has on our lives. The Prodigal Son reminds us of how good our heavenly Father is and how we can never earn the grace He freely gives us. 

This week we kicked off a brand new series called "I Believe." In this series, we will be looking in-depth at what we believe as Christians and how those beliefs impact our day-to-day life. Our prayer is that this series would help you better understand your faith and give you the courage to proclaim it to others.

This week Pastor Leroy is wrapping up our series "Inside Insight." We have enjoyed his teaching these past few weeks. We hope and pray that this series has encouraged examining what's on the inside and ensuring that it matches what God's word says. This week Pastor Leroy is examining our fleshly tendency to be greedy. He walks us through Luke 12, in which Jesus tells a parable of a man who put his possessions over God, which we all have done at some point. We hope that God uses this message to help you reexamine the possessions he has given you and how to steward them well on this earth. 

This week, Pastor Leroy is continuing to lead us in our series "Inside Insight." This week we look intently at the passage Luke 18:9-14, in which Jesus tells a parable of two men going to pray at the temple. One man was a Pharisee and one was a tax collector. The Pharisee prayed with pride, thanking God that he was not as sinful as other people. While the Tax collector asked God to humble him for he was a sinner. We hope that Pastor Leroy's teaching on the passage will encourage you and bring to light any pride in your heart you may have been unaware of.

This week we are continuing to look at matters of our hearts. As followers, it is important to examine the condition of our heart and make sure that it is aligned with God's Word. Pastor Leroy reminds us that our outward behavior is directly linked to the condition of our hearts. We tend to modify our behavior around others to hide what is truly on the inside. Eventually, our true nature comes out and one thing we can do is have a heart of mercy like we are told in Ephesians. Paul tells the church in Ephesus to get rid of all anger, bitterness, slander, rage, and brawling. We are to FORGIVE one another as God has forgiven us through Christ. 

We are wrapping up the month of January and wrapping up our current series "Grow With the Flow." This week we are looking at an important scripture in Mark 8:34-36 where Jesus is teaching on the importance of taking up His Cross and giving up our life for the sake of the gospel. We can grow and press forward all we want but if we are not daily surrendering ourselves to Christ we will ultimately lose in the end. We hope and pray that this message encourages you and strengthens you. Come back next week as we kick off a brand new series!
