As parents, the most important thing we can do to help our children grow to love God and become productive members of society is put ourselves at the front of the line! Our personal growth is imperative for us to pass along a legacy.

Sometimes we can become hyper-focused on making sure our children are obeying the rules. Our discipline and lectures take on the notion—“I’m right because I’m in charge! So, get in line and do what I say!” In this talk, we will discover that God, though He is always right and always in charge, chooses to focus on the relationship more than the rules. He is bent on fighting for our hearts and challenges us to do the same for our children.

As parents, it can become overwhelming trying to provide everything our children need to become successful and happy in life. We are often quick to pick up the yardstick culture hands us and measure success for our children by superficial standards. Over time, we start thinking the most important things are for them to attend the right college, make the right friends, marry the right person, live in the right neighborhood and have the right career. While these things may be important, ultimately they are not most important. Imagining the end, helps us focus on what’s most important in our children’s lives and reminds us that God is always writing His narrative with their lives.

Technology and advancement are great things that make our world a better place to live. They are also clear signs that the end times are upon us.

This is the weekend that we celebrate the Freedom we have as a nation and as people!

IN = The Rest of the New Testament - The Story of a People Inhabited by God (Acts 2—Revelation 22). Each of us has been created to live with the power and presence of God in us in our everyday lives. God changed everything by entering IN…to YOU! The greatest part of God’s Story is that it’s a story of a people inhabited by God Himself! The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to every person that longs for a new life and a new story!

Samson went from legendary hero and unconquerable foe to becoming the Philistine’s laughing stock—a weakling with both eyes gouged out! How could this happen? How could he travel so far from where he was? The same way each of us do—one small step at a time.

Failure is an event, not an identity! Samson’s story teaches us that just because we fail at something, it doesn’t mean we are a failure. In this message, we will discover the right response to failure.

Samson was a beast and his victories are legendary but this strong warrior had some even stronger weaknesses. In this message, we will discover some attitudes that can make even the strongest of men become weak.

WITH = The Gospels - The Story of a Present God (Matthew 1—Acts 1). We are invited to do life with Jesus. Just as Jesus called those in his days to be with him, he calls each of us today to do the same. God changes the story by entering INTO the story! And we discover that before we were ANYTHING…we were EVERYTHING to God!
