Jesus says that the world will recognize that we are Christians by how we love others. But how do I love those who are difficult to love? How do I show love to those who I personally don’t like? God is not calling us to do certain tasks, but to love certain people. In order to draw others to God, we are being called to be a reflection of God. In this message Pastor Chris teaches how to love the unlovable.

How can we overcome the fears of leaving our comfort zone and taking the first step toward achieving our dreams and goals? You will never know how far you can go until you leave the safety of the boat to walk on water. Taking the first step is always the hardest, but it is the only way to experience everything God has for you. In this message Pastor Chris teaches that if you want to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat.

Would you ever go on a trip without factoring what the trip is going to cost? Although we may spend more or less than we budgeted, we would do our best to estimate the amount our trip would cost us before we go. Jesus tells us to estimate the cost before making the decision to follow him. In this message Pastor Erik teaches that following Jesus comes at a cost, but the reward is priceless.

The call to follow Jesus is a deeply personal decision and it involves sacrificing one's desires and goals for a higher purpose. At the end of the day we are left asking the question, is it really worth it? In this message Pastor Chris will teach that Salvation is free and does not cost you anything, but following Jesus will eventually cost you something!

Have you ever felt judged or had a bad encounter with other Christians? Many times people who have a horrible experience with a church form an opinion about God. They often feel condemned, but does God really feel that way about them?  In this message Pastor Chris teaches that being a sinner is not a disqualification, but a prerequisite.

Have you ever chosen to ignore someone when they called you? When we don’t want to speak with someone we normally send them to voicemail. We easily ignore telemarketers and phone numbers we don’t recognize. The numbers of those whom we are closest with and have a relationship with are saved under contacts and favorites. When they call we instantly answer. There is a response when they call, but how many of us respond when Jesus calls? In this message Pastor Chris teaches that many will be called, but few will answer.

Have you ever gotten lost? Some of us like to find our own way where others of us may ask for directions. This may work when there are multiple ways in order to get to a destination, but what happens if there is only one? In this message Pastor Erik teaches that there is only one way to God, but thankfully He gave us a GPS!

No one likes to go through challenges and adversity, but can they be an actual blessing for us? Maybe  God is not doing something to us in the hardships, but something for us!. We often think that when trials arise God must be punishing us, but could He actually be helping us and teaching us in the process? In this message Pastor Chris will teach that in order to truly grow and multiply, you must first be willing to be pruned.

As Christians we often wonder why we go through difficult situations. We quote verses like if God is for us, who can be against us. But what do we say when things really just don’t go our way? What do we feel when we lose a loved one?  In this message Pastor Erik will teach that God’s glory is most displayed when he does not show up on our timeline!

Have you ever felt like you are not good enough? Have you ever sensed that you don’t measure up to those around you. It is interesting how Jesus called and chose unqualified individuals to change the world. In this message Bishop Hines teaches that Jesus can take ordinary men to do extraordinary things.
