LIVING FOR A CHANGE - Part N – Nurtures Authentic Relationships (Acts 2:42-47) We were never intended to live the Christian life on our own. All of us need a community of others who know and love God to help us and encourage us along the way. This Sunday Pastor Mark will open our eyes to how to make the most of this powerful resource at Sugar Creek. You can go farther and stronger than you ever imagined through incorporating the principles in this message as we continue our series: Live For A C-H-A-N-G-E.

LIVING FOR A CHANGE - Part A - Actively Practices Spiritual Disciplines (Matthew 16:24-26) We already know that developing regular habits and disciplines in our lives is the key to good hygiene and good health. Regular baths, brushing our teeth, a good solid deodorant… these are good habits! The same is true about paying our bills, taking care of our car and pretty much any other thing in our life. So, doesn’t it make sense that practicing good solid spiritual disciplines would be the make or break of the “inside” of our lives, too?

LIVING FOR A CHANGE - Part H - Helps Others Know God (2 Corinthians 5:18-21) When you came to know Christ as Savior, God called you to an important opportunity and responsibility. He can use you to help change the destination of people you know who are far from God. But, for that happen, you have to know what He wants and how to do it. Pastor Mark will open God’s Word this Sunday and show us what God already is doing and can do through us to make a forever impact. Don’t miss this second message of Live for a C-H-A-N-G-E.

LIVING FOR A CHANGE - Part C – Commits to God and His Family. Is your life being all you and God have intended it to be? Are you growing closer to God and how do you know for sure? Pastor Mark will be back this Sunday and he is beginning a new series entitled Live for a C-H-A-N-G-E. You need the principles he will be sharing in this series about how to get off dead center in your spiritual life and begin to truly soar in your walk with God. Don’t miss the beginning of this important new series.

Living with the End in Mind, Part 8 – The Wise and Foolish Builders – We Are All Building A House (Matthew 7:24-27) This message is the final message in the series “Living with the End in Mind”. In it, we will share Jesus’ final words in the Sermon on the Mount where an invitation and a warning is given to all. Hear the words of Jesus and put them into practice or your life will end in a “great crash”.

Living with the End in Mind, Part 7 – A Shocking Surprise (Matthew 7:21-23) There are some people who do not like surprises. But there is no one who enjoys unpleasant surprises. Reality is that many who call themselves Christians are headed towards a shocking surprise. Jesus warns us of the most tragic surprise and tells us how to avoid it. You don’t have to be shocked when you arrive in heaven, you can have absolute security now.

God and Country Day is a positive time of remembering and celebrating God’s blessings upon our country and life. It’s a time of remembering our many blessings of freedom in this land and revising our responsibilities which come with that freedom. Join our church as we pray for God to continue to bless America.

Living with the End in Mind, Part 6 - Watch Out For Wolves (Matthew 7:15-20) How do you know those spiritual teachers you listen to television and radio and in your church are for real? How do you know what they teach is right or wrong? Why does Jesus make such a big deal about holding your spiritual leaders accountable? If you are a parent, this isn’t just about you. You are also protecting your children and their understanding of God. This message might get a little heavy, but it comes straight from the mouth of Jesus.”

Living with the End in Mind, Part 5 – Two Roads (Matthew 7:13-14) You only get to live one life. Life is a path. Getting on and staying on the right path is the key to living a life of fulfillment and meaning and ultimately experiencing forever with God. The problem is, the wrong path is easier and even makes more sense to more people around me. The wrong path is even more immediately satisfying. What do I do? Help me to better understand this life and its choices.”

Living with the End in Mind, Part 4 – Never Give Up On God (Matthew 7:7-11) Have you ever given up on God? You prayed for something but heard nothing in return. After a while, did you give up? It is entirely possible that was a mistake. Why? Find out in this message entitled, “Never Give Up On God.”
