Thankfulness is defined as being conscious of a benefit received. I am thankful for the many blessings that God has given me throughout my life, but am I thankful for the benefit of God’s consistent and gracious presence, the very fact that He is here -- with me -- now and always? That the God who is perfect love actually treasures hanging out with me, as imperfect as I am? Or is there something inside that constantly reminds me that that can't possibly be true, because I am such a mess? What is keeping me from experiencing a deep fulfilling life in the presence of God?

Listen to the final message in the Give Thanks series entitled, "Presence" as Director of Student Ministry Blake Brinkman explains that God never turns His back on us, EVER. He never abandons us or revokes His calling on our lives. He is always with us.

Do you ever feel alone, fearful, like you are lost in the wilderness? You may be wondering where God is and why He has allowed this in your life. But following Jesus doesn't mean you will never be in the wilderness. God allows these times, because He knows the great benefits it will bring you. In this message, Pastor Jeff Maness talks about three of the benefits of being in the wilderness.

Thankfulness is a choice, not based on circumstances but on the condition of our hearts. If we're only thankful in favorable circumstances, we can easily miss out on the power of God in our lives. In this new series called Give Thanks we'll be using Psalm 136 as a foundation to see how we can be thankful in every circumstance and how it can practically affect our daily lives. In this first message Senior Pastor Jeff Maness teaches that God’s goodness is not based on our circumstances; it’s based on His character, and asks, "What parts of God’s character make Him good?"

Have you ever read a passage in the Bible and scratched your head thinking, "How does that work out in my life?" Maybe it's a passage that makes you wonder, "Could that really happen in real life...in my life? But how?" In the last message of the My Favorite Passage series, Director of LIFT Chris Ward shares his favorite passage, Acts 2:42-47, in a message entitled, "Our Family Photo". Chris says he believes this is one of the Bible's most crucial passages that can inspire, challenge, and provide practical everyday principles for everyone in our Church family.

From a very young age, we are programmed to work, manage, and achieve, so it's no surprise how difficult it is to just stop and be still, with no distractions, for any length of time. But this is what we need to do if we are to know God.

In this message from the My Favorite Passage series, Community Care Pastor David Miller talks about his favorite passage, Psalm 46:1-3, 10.

"God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!...Be still and know that I am God!"

David explains that it's easy to know about God through attending church, listening to sermons, reading books about Him, and talking to other people who know Him. But to know God for ourselves, we need to have intimate time with Him alone. We need to be still, to quietly sit in His presence and wait for Him to speak.  Listen to "Be Still and Know" for more information on how to do that and the rewards it will bring!

Special guest speaker Rickey Bolden joins us to talk about his favorite passage, the story of Enoch in Genesis 5:21-24 and Hebrews 11:5-6. The biblical accounts of Enoch tell us that he faithfully walked with God for 300 years of his life. In fact, God enjoyed Enoch's company so much that when it was time for Enoch to die, he didn't! God just took him straight to heaven! Listen as Rickey illustrates how to walk with God faithfully and daily as Enoch did.

In this message, Teaching Pastor Weston Savell talks about his favorite passage, John 3:30, where John the Baptist said, "He (Jesus) must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less."

Weston taught how this passage shows that things of the heart matter most. If the heart doesn't change, there's no real change. Watch and see what it says about your self-worth, your worth to God, and what John the Baptist really meant.

Have you ever watched a movie or read a book and the ending was just terrible? You've invested your time and attention only to be left disappointed. But this story that we've been talking about is not only a page-turner, it has a truly spectacular ending for every follower of Jesus!

God is preparing a new and perfected Heaven on earth where we will partner with Him in building the culture and city He always intended for us to build. But what else should you know about the end of the story, and how should that change the way you live your story?

Watch "Happily Ever After", the last message of our It's A Page-Turner series, and learn what happens to Christ-followers after we close the book on this life, and how we should be preparing for it now.
