Today we are continuing Growing Deeper; a series on Romans 1:21. Pastor Duane is reversing the steps of turning away from God to show us how to grow closer to Him. This week we are looking at the part of the verse that says; became vain in their imaginations. Our imagination is what we see in our minds' eyes. What we spend our time thinking about fills our imaginations. The Bible tells us that in order to be different from this world we must change the way we think and we do that by the Power of Meditation.

The Bible doesn't tell us that we are changed by prayer, it says we are transformed - or changed - by the way we think. This means that what we choose to focus on shapes our view of the world, our circumstances, and the people around us. In this message Pastor Duane explains how to control your thoughts by meditating on God's Word, and how doing this will change the way you look at your life and the world around you.

Today we are continuing Growing Deeper; a series on Romans 1:21. Pastor Duane is reversing the steps of turning away from God to show us how to grow closer to Him. This week we are looking at the part of the verse that says, nor were they thankful, and Pastor is going deeper on having A Thankful Heart. Let's see how this step draws us closer to God.

Being thankful has much less to do with our circumstances than it has to do with our heart posture toward God and who He is in spite of what we face. Thankfulness may not seem like a natural response, and it might not come easy for us, but it allows God to keep moving in our lives. In part three of the Growing Deeper series Pastor Duane will help us understand that when we are thankful and when we begin to praise God, it's like a spiritual weapon that silences and drives off the enemy and the avenger.

One way we take a next step toward growing closer to God is by getting baptized, dying to our old self. We bury who we were in the past and live now as a new creation in Christ. In this message Pastor Duane takes us all the way back to the Israelite's departure from Egypt and explains the significance of the blood of the lamb, walking through the Red Sea and being led by the cloud.

To focus on glorifying God, means to exalt and consider Him to be right, over our personal preference, culture, and what the world says. In this message Pastor Duane will help us understand that our troubles and pain, however long we have them or how deep they go, are temporary compared to the eternal glory that can be found when we focus on God and what He is doing in the world.

Today we are continuing Growing Deeper; a series on Romans 1:21. We are talking about Glorifying God, or to Esteem God. Esteem means to regard highly, respect, and admire, so when we Esteem God we put him in higher regard and respect than anything else in our lives. We will look at some biblical heroes who regarded the Word of God as a priority in their lives and how we can apply that same principle to our own lives. Let’s jump into today’s message; But for a moment.

Scripture says that the deep in God calls to the deep in us, and the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord. This means that God communicates with us by speaking to our heart– our spirit. He is illuminating the ways we should live and go, but it’s up to us to acknowledge this by knowing Him personally, glorifying and thanking Him for who He is and what He has done. In the first message from Pastor Duane's new series 'Growing Deeper' he teaches us what it means to give God glory, why it's an important part in our relationship with God, and how to go about doing this.
