Sometimes we need something to help us tune our hearts to God. One of the most powerful tools that God gives us to help our hearts tune is His word. In this message we learn more about that.

Christmas isn't just about a baby in a manger. Christmas is about adoption. God became a child so that he could make us his children.

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Gen. 1:1)." God is a creator. This might be one of the most important facts we can remember about God. The fact of the matter is, we need a creative God. Some of the dark situations in the world seem impossible to fix but God is so creative that he can do it. God loves creating beautiful things out of the broken things in the world.

John 1:14

God made his dwelling AMONG us. As Eugene Peterson said, "God moved into the neighborhood." In a season filled so many things; presents, parties, trees, and lights… it can be easy to lose sight of what we really celebrate. GOD IS HERE!

Numbers 11:1-10 The longer you live in the goodness and grace of God the harder it is to see it as goodness and grace.

Thieves of gratitude:

Entitlement

Complaining

Craving

Comparing

One of the most definitive steps away from God is discontentment!!

Text: Matthew 23:1-39

This sermon was given on November 10th 2013. The text was Matthew 23:1-39. In this passage we discuss the masks that we tend to ware to protect ourselves or make ourselves look good. These masks actually prevent us from finding full joy in our relationships. "Dropping the mask of perfection allows us to pick up hope of redemption."

What we believe about the gospel shapes the quality of all our relationships. A grace drenched heart creates a relationally rich life. This sermon from Luke 18:9-14 helps us understand how we can thrive in relationships. #upsidedownJesus

You probably would think of shrewdness as a desirable Christian quality, but Jesus challenges his followers to be shrewd. This message addresses what that looks like from Luke 16:1-14.

Luke 15:25-32

In the story of the Prodigal, we often focus on either the younger son or the father, but we have a lot we can learn from the older brother as well!
