Renew Your Mind: But It Doesn't Affect Me by Pastor James Sabin.

Mar. 5, 2023

BIG IDEA We adults and students alike are all being shaped (conformed) by the media we consume (take in), whether we are aware of it or not. The truth is, we can have a say in how we are shaped, or we can let inertia (culture - the world and its ideas) shape us instead of God and His Word. When we allow the world to shape us, the results are painful and regrettable—filled with shame, anxiety, loneliness, and hopelessness. But when Jesus becomes our LORD (greatest influencer), our lives become filled with hope and purpose.

Renew Your Mind by Pastor James Sabin

Feb. 26, 2023

BIG IDEA: From as early as we can remember, and whether we were or are aware of it or not, the world has been trying to shape us into its mold. The world has been trying to get us to think in opposition to how God thinks and live in opposition to how God lives. When we become "born again" believers, we receive new hearts, but our minds and habits stay mostly the same. Our new heart gives us new desires, but it does not give us a new way of thinking. The new way of thinking God desires for His children only comes from becoming disciples of Jesus and His Word.

Go! For I AM your God by Josh Madzy.

Feb. 5, 2023

BIG IDEA: God has sent us on a mission to bring the lost and broken world back to the one who can save us all, Jesus. Often times, we can become fearful of the mission God has called us to in order to share the Gospel. But God is God! And he is good! We have been promised his presence wherever we go, and we are not alone. No matter how scared we may become, God has no equal. He has a grand vision for the work you will do to add to his kingdom. Will you set out for this mission?

Becoming More Like Jesus by Emiley Bruner.

Jan. 22, 2023

BIG IDEA: Jesus loves us so much! He died on the cross to pay for our sins and continues to show us in our day-to-day life just how much He loves us. This should drive us to desire to serve the Lord with our lives, giving Him access to all of us so we can be used for the kingdom God gave us the perfect example to teach us how to do this when he gave us Jesus on Earth. And how amazing that we have access to an entire book that tells us how he conducted himself while He was here! We must learn how He lived so we can strive to be more like Jesus each day. We must have the attitude that Christ Jesus had.

Worship 101 by Ashley Bruner

Jan. 15, 2023

BIG IDEA: We were created by God with a specific function: to worship. It’s in our DNA, it’s how we’re wired. We all worship something by spending our time, energy, attention, and thoughts on them. In other words, our lives revolve around what (or who) we worship. Because we live in a sinful world, we often worship the wrong things (like money, grades, celebrities, friendships, relationships, social media...and ultimately, ourselves). The problem is, these things weren’t created to be worshipped, so when we worship the wrong things, they ultimately let us down, leaving us feeling empty, confused, and ashamed. We were created to worship God, and when learn how to do that with our WORDS, our POSTURE, and our ACTIONS, we live the way we were always meant to, drawing close to Him and experiencing the abundant life Jesus has for us.

Don't Believe The Hype: Here Is Not Your Home, Jesus Is by Pastor James Sabin

Jan. 8, 2023

BIG IDEA: Home can mean many things to many people, but home as God intended is the place where we would learn and develop our identity. A place where we would realize our true value and worth. And an environment where we would discover how to live out our God-given purpose. Even though these things are God's good design for how homes should work, this world is always trying to press us into its mold (its values and its ideas of who we are how and how we should live). Through friends, family, social media, and pop culture, the world wants us to adopt it as our home. The truth is Jesus is our home, and only In relationship with Him is where we find our true identity, value, and purpose.

Don't Believe The Hype: The Lie About Freedom by Pastor James Sabin.

Dec. 4, 2022

BIG IDEA: There is a very familiar lie about freedom in the world that our flesh likes to hear. It goes something like this, "I'm free to do what I want, when I want, with whom I want." This may sound like freedom, but it just doesn't work in the real world. The reason why it doesn't work is because this world is God's creation and it is bound by His rules. He has set things up so that man has free will to choose and those choices have real consequences. A more accurate and honest saying is, "I am free to choose, but not all my choices lead to freedom." In fact, all of our choices make us either a slave or a servant - son/daughter.
