Have you ever wondered the true meaning of pleasing God? Pastor Mike shares with us today, how important it is to have an ambition to accomplish the desire of God’s heart in order to please Him.

Today, Pastor Gary shares on how God gives us visions, dreams and revelations to enable us to follow His will and plan with our lives. But, there may come attacks on us to both keep us humble, but more importantly to help us put into practice the insights God has given to us; so that we know how to apply what we are learning.

God always includes people in his plan — ordinary, broken people like you and me! We're actually called "ambassadors of Christ," and speak on God's behalf. The question isn't whether or not we're representing God — but how well we're representing him! Today we discover how we can become stronger ambassadors for Jesus to the world around us.

What is the gospel? Why is it so important? And how are we to respond to it? All of these questions are answered by the Apostle Paul as he's writing to his friends in Corinth. Whether you're exploring what it means to be a Christian, or you want to understand the gospel better so you can share it with others, today we're all growing in understanding the "good news" Jesus brought to our world.

The Bible promises that the Holy Spirit is not only in us, but we're called to share his grace, love, and power with the world around us. We do this not in our own smarts or strength, but through his gifting. But because of ignorance or immaturity, some followers of Jesus hurt others in their attempts at "ministry." How can we become spiritually mature so that our ministry is a blessing and healing force in the lives of others? That's what we discover in 1 Corinthians 12-14.

Today, Pastor Mike teaches us how temptation occurs a lot in our lives, but it isn't necessarily a bad thing. We are not tempted by God, but temptation can turn into a bad thing when it leads us to committing a sin.

In the book of Jude we read that we are to defend the faith that God has entrusted us with. Today, Pastor Kaelyn shares with us how we can be ready to defend our faith and how we can live out that faith that we have been entrusted with.

Often times we hear voices speaking to us, in our minds and sometimes through other people. Now, what do you do with the words of those voices, because those thoughts can either be for good or evil. Today, Pastor Gary explains how we can overcome those lies that we hear.

So, what's up with "the world?" Why does the Bible tell us not to fall in love with it and all it offers? It actually has to do with God's love for us, and the mission he has for his people. 

In John 15, Jesus not only gives us our mission (being wildly fruitful) but tells us how to accomplish it (staying connected to him). In this message, we explore what it means to be fruitful, and how this mission is the same for us individually and as a church. Pastor Tim also shares the new way we're describing our shared mission at SM4: Gather, Grow, Go!
