Some may believe courage is the absence of fear. General Patton was quoted as saying, “Courage is fear that has said its prayers”. So we see courage is enduring in spite of fear. Join us this Sunday as we continue our series in the Gospel of John. In chapter 12, we find Jesus expressing a level of fear and anxiety for what He is about to go through. However, we will see why this could never stop Jesus from fulfilling His purpose. Even though He was “A Troubled Savior”.

Living a life of fear comes from putting too much stock in your accomplishments, experiences & possessions. The only remedy for fear is hope & humility. We should live this life like we have nothing to lose. So, when we hope in our life to come & humble ourselves by forfeiting our lives for Jesus, we position ourselves to receive honor from God. Join us for our sermon, "To Gain From A Loss," from John 12:20-26, where we'll be encouraged to adequately prepare for our eventual exit from this world.

Who do you choose to follow & why? What is the character of a Godly leader? Can the truth spoken in love ever truly be stopped? Join us as we answer these questions & more in our sermon "Right King, Wrong Time," from John 12:12-19.

When it comes to eternal salvation, the Bible is black & white. Faith in the resurrection of Jesus leads to eternal life. Whereas unbelief in said resurrection leads to eternal damnation. Join us for our sermon "Faith vs. Unbelief," from John 12:1-11. In these verses, we'll witness the faith of Martha, Mary & Jesus' friends, pitted against the unbelief of Judas, the large crowd of Jews & the chief priests.

We hear the terms “conspiracy” or “conspiracy theory” thrown around a lot today it’s nothing new. Anywhere there is power mankind will struggle to control said power. Join us this Sunday as we wrap up John chapter 11. We will find that the Jewish religious leaders have finally had enough of this Jesus. They feared losing their power over the people and their position with Rome. They must do something immediately. Therefore, they develop a “Conspiracy to kill the Truth”, not only a truth but the Truth Himself.

During WWII, Nazi Germany created a weapon called the “Sonic Cannon,” that was based on sound. Quite simply, the Axis forces capitalized on the power of sound. As Believers, we know that sound has tremendous power, especially when it comes from the Lord’s voice. He creates, destroys and resurrects by the sound of His voice. Join us for our sermon “Resurrection of Lazarus pt. 3,” from John 11:38-46, where we’ll be encouraged in the powerful voice of Jesus, which raised Lazarus from the grave.

Back in the 90's, Reebok reminded us that "Life Is Short. Play Hard." This is really a play on the mantra "Live Life To the Fullest," or "You Can't Take It With You." It's as though we should get the most out of our only life to live. For those who believe in Jesus, we know that this couldn't be further from the truth. Jesus Himself says: "I Am the resurrection and the life." Therefore, we know that we have a life, beyond this life now. Join us for our sermon "Resurrection of Lazarus pt.2," where we'll witness the grief, compassion & love that drew Jesus to the cross.

It's common to hear athletes give God the glory after a win. However, it's rare to hear an athlete give God the glory in the midst of defeat. As Believers, we are to give God ALL the glory in ALL circumstances. After all, He is ALWAYS at work! God receiving glory is the central theme of the "Resurrection of Lazarus". Join us for part 1 of our 3 part series, beginning with John 11:1-16.

If there is something we know well here in South West Florida, it is the power of a major hurricane. Even with advanced technology, all we can do is guess the absolute path and strength of any given storm. They seem to do whatever they want. Even so, that is still a small example, compared to the power of God.

Join us this Sunday as we wrap up John chapter 10. Here we find the religious leaders ready to put Jesus to death. However, they could not, for it was not His time yet. Only Jesus could surrender His life. It could not be taken from Him. This is because of the “Unstoppable Purpose” of God.
