Simple Church

How short-sighted would it have been if Jesus came only to get rid of the Romans?  How short-sighted is it to ask that only the things we can see be fixed right now?  The message of he angels the night Jesus was born was, "Do not be afraid!"  That changed everything!

Christmas, part 1

Kenny Nix

Luke 2:1-20

We can try to simplify our faith to a list of dos and don'ts.  Just avoiding sin isn't the goal.  The goal is to look at what Jesus did, and follow Him. 

Broken Vessels

Keith Wilson

Mark 7

God was always their sustainer, even when they walked away from God. They were in great misery because of their sin, but God was faithful when they were not.  So they committed themselves to following the Lord, and put great consequences on them selves if they turned away.  

Nehemiah 10

Kenny Nix, Pastor

The bent of the American church is always to be inwardly focused.  Jesus discipled 12 men, but He didn't do it in seculusion. How do we become the church that is focused on what Jesus was focused on?

Luke 12:35-48

Kenny Nix, Pastor

The heading for Nehemiah 9 says, "The People Confess Their Sins."  They were mourning over their sins as if someone had died.  Confessing sin and repenting is seen over and over and over again in scripture.  People cried, Rescue me God, whatever it takes. 

Nehemiah 9

Kenny Nix, Pastor 

Nehemiah works to rebuild the walls, and Ezra works to rebuild the temple.  When Ezra brought out the Book of the Law and began to read it was water to their dry and weary souls.  They had forgotten who they were they people of God.  And it was time to remind them.

Nehemiah 8

Kenny Nix, Pastor

The enemy doesn't just sit down once the work is finished.  He will attack where you are the weakest and he will work to compromise your integrity.  So when the attack seems to subside, reload your ammo. 

Nehemiah 7

Kenny Nix, Pastor

We realize our life has a purpose, but do we realize our struggles and trials are a significant part of our purpose.  When you can't seem to break away from sin, when you face trials of many kinds... consider it joy.  

Find Our Purpose

James 1:2-4

Keith Wilson, Youth Minister

From day one, enemies of Nehemiah talked about him and the other Jews who were rebuilding the wall with the intend of bringing the work to a stop.  Every time the enemy fought against Nehemiah he continued the work.  

Nehemiah 6

Kenny Nix, Pastor 

When worry takes over it controls us and beings to fill our lives with darkness.  But God has a better plan.  And He's given us a reason to say there is no need to worry.

Find Your Purpose, part 2
