The Lord is calling us to wake from our slumber and get engaged in His work. Today's message is by Pastor Tim Parker who also invited Samantha Setzer to share a word from the Lord and how it impacted her. She shares it today because it is also for the body of Christ.

No one can underestimate the significance of The Word of God. In today's message, Pastor Tim personalizes this theme by discussing how crucial it is for each of us to respond to "a word of God."

One of our congregants recently returned to Mexico where she had done missions in the past. This is her testimony of the beautiful work of God.

Pastor Tim summarizes many of the lessons of the Book of Philippians today. Taking the role of a coach both Apostle Paul and Pastor Tim desire to see each of us in the body of Christ to pursue Him fully, leaving behind all that hinders, shedding the anxiety this world engenders, and embracing our lives with faith.

Becoming successful in keeping the main thing, the Main Thing begins with recognizing the surpassing value of knowing Jesus Christ. All that is involved in our life, our pursuits, and our achievements, absolutely everything must take a back seat to our pursuit of knowing Jesus. As the Apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians, everything is being summed up in Christ Jesus. He is the all-surpassing value.

Our ultimate goal is to become like Jesus. The Apostle Paul gives us his personal witness and much instruction to help us. Join Pastor Tim as he shares some keys to this process of becoming like Christ.

Every miracle Jesus did ended in worship. No matter how difficult the situation, as faith was applied, the miracle came forth and so did the worship. The end game of all our lives is that Jesus be worshipped. He is worthy.

When we see a child is behaving just as their parent would, we say, "He's a chip off the old block." Jesus confronted the Pharisees about their father. He let them know that one could tell who their father was by their deeds. "If you were Abraham's children, He said, "You would do the works of Abraham."

Who is your father?

Paul wrote that we were dead in our trespasses and sins but that God gave us life in Christ. That's the key. Without Jesus alive on the inside of us we are spiritually dead and unable to be in the presence of a holy God. But with Christ, we are alive and forever connected to God. He is our life!
