This week we dive into the Book of James and learn about trials. Trials are hard and they show a testing of our faith. We are to count it all as joy as trials bring us closer to God. Joy is something we develop, not something we discover. Trials are painful but the pain has a purpose. Joy is found in the presence of God when we face trials. This week is Part 1 of 2 of how we learn to be in the presence of God while we face trials in life.

In this Easter Sunday sermon, Pastor Chris addresses the common struggle of having doubts about one's faith, even while desiring to believe. Drawing from personal experience and insights from scripture, he provides practical strategies for navigating doubt and strengthening one's faith. Through personal anecdotes and biblical insights, we are reminded of the power and significance of Easter, as a time of new beginnings and fresh starts. Whether you are a long-time believer or simply curious about the Easter story, this sermon offers a powerful and uplifting message of hope and renewal.

In this powerful sermon, we are reminded that the Bible says we must make a personal decision about Jesus. Using the story of Barabbas and Jesus' trial before Pilate, we are encouraged to see that no one is too bad for Jesus to save and restore. However, we are warned against postponing this decision and reminded of the importance of taking a step of faith each day. With its powerful message, this sermon invites us to commit to following Jesus and experiencing the freedom and restoration that only He can bring.

Lean in this week as we learn from the Word of God what it means to belong to Jesus. Life can get so busy and surrounded by "things" or "agendas" making people think they are right with God. You can believe in Jesus, but not belong to Him. Just like you can know the Bible, but still miss Jesus. We don't need a superficial religion. We need a spiritual regeneration.

In this week's message, we dive into the danger of believing without surrender. Through Acts 5:12-21, we see how bold obedience triggers opposition and releases God's miracles. However, many people struggle to live boldly for Jesus because they live with a belief in Jesus instead of living with surrender to Him. Using Matthew 26:20-25 and Matthew 7:21-23, we learn that without repentance and surrender, we'll always go back to who we were before Jesus. Join us as we explore the importance of repentance and surrender in our walk with Jesus and how it takes us from working for Jesus to walking with Jesus out of an overflow of our love for Him.

This week, we ask the question "Does the Enemy Know You?" based on Acts 19:11-15. We learn that being on Satan's radar means you're a threat to his plans, and that faith in Jesus and participation in the world are incompatible. Through Acts 19:16-20, we see how the power of the Lord prevailed over evil, and how believers armed with the Word of God, prayer, and boldness in sharing the Gospel become dangerous to hell. Are you a threat to Satan's plans? Watch now to find out.

Your life has a unique purpose given by God, and it's all about sharing the love of Jesus with others. As Matthew 28 says, we're called to make disciples and teach them to obey Jesus' commands. This means not just talking the talk, but also walking the walk through a life marked by confession, repentance, and reconciliation. So if you're feeling lost or uncertain, remember that you were fearfully and wonderfully made by God for this purpose - to share the Gospel and lead others to Jesus.

Join in as we learn from God's Word the importance of Jesus in the workplace. Work was given as a way to worship and the way we work will show others the God we serve. Jobs are meant to glorify God, not to pay bills. This week we grasp how money should not be our motive to work but to have opportunities to share the gospel.
