Sunday Evening, September 15th, 2019 - The Privilege of Grace - Pastor Jared Shumate

Grace. We talk about it. Maybe you've even extend it to other people. We sing about it. We even hear men of God preach about it. But what is it exactly?

Tonight Pastor Jared showed us that Grace is a privilege, something that is unearned and yet still extended to us anyway. We can't expect it. we don't deserve it. But it can change our life in radical ways!

Sunday Morning, September 15th, 2019 - Who Can Tell? - Pastor Jared Shumate

Jonah stood before King Nebuchadnezzar and preached an eight word sermon; "Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown." That's all it took for the people of Nineveh to repent and believe. The king asked Jonah, who can tell what God could do if the people turn away from their wicked ways.

What could God do in Knoxville if we all proclaim Jesus as Savior, change our priorities and focus, and submit themselves to prayer? God used Jonah's eight word sermon to change a nation. Just imagine what God could do in our city, state, and even our country if Christians put our differences aside and come together for His Kingdom!?

Who can tell...

Sunday Evening, September 8th, 2019 - How to be a True Disciple - Pastor Jared Shumate

Discipleship is a word that we hear a lot about but maybe we don't fully understand. Disciple means a follower. We take that to mean one who follows Christ in a spiritual way. But there is a physical meaning behind that word too. There are some criteria associated with being a true disciple.

Tonight we look at some of those requirements to be a true disciple of Jesus Christ. Examine your heart as Pastor Jared shows us How to be a True Disciple.

Sunday Morning, September 8th, 2019 - That's Him! - Pastor Jared Shumate

The Bible tells us that before Christ conquered the grave the Old Testament saints didn't go to Heaven when they died. Instead, they went to another place, called Abraham's Bosom.

Join us this morning a Pastor Jared gives us a glimpse into what it must have been like for those in Abraham's Bosom as they waited for the Messiah. Use your imagination and put yourself in that place as they learned more about Him with each new arrival.

Finally, one day, they rejoiced as they shouted That's Him!

Sunday Morning, September 1st, 2019 - Who's Pulling Your Wagon? - Pastor Jared Shumate

Have you ever taken a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride, or flown in a plane, or taken a cruise? Undoubtedly, you've been the passenger in a car at times, maybe even taken a taxi or Uber or Lyft. But, have you ever stopped to think about who's leading you?

This morning Pastor Jared took us back to the days of our youth when we were perhaps a passenger in a little red wagon. Did you ever stop to think about who was leading that wagon around?

Now, let's take a look at our life now. Who's pulling your wagon today? It's easy to say that it's Jesus, but when you look closer, maybe there are areas of your life where you're allowing the wrong people, or the wrong types of people, to lead in certain areas of your life.

Ask yourself today, who's pulling your wagon?
