Advent - Week 3 ("Joy is the All-Purpose Flour of the Believer")

So, what is joy? Is it a positive emotion or an important ingredient for our baked goods? Once upon a time, many lifetimes ago, it involved a pink rose and a pope. So, how in the world do we connect any of this with the Lord? Let's take a look at the Word and see how the Lord can tie all of this together to help us understand what joy really is and how we can have real, lasting, and authentic joy.

Advent - Week 2 ("Peace Be Unto You")

In our second week of Advent, Evan brings us a message about peace. So, what does it actually mean to have peace? There are so many areas where having peace is important. Peace with God, peace with each other, and peace with yourself. The peace that comes from God is the kind of peace that surpasses all understanding. It's also peace that is transferable from person to person . Let's look at the Word to see what God has to say about peace.

Normal Christianity

To walk with the Lord is to walk like the Lord. How do we love to the point where we walk in the sacrificial way that the Lord walked in so well? How do we dig deeper, speak truth, and be the light and salt to a world that desperately needs to know the transformative love of the Savior? Let's take a look at what scripture has to say about what normal Christianity should look like. . . . .

Lifestyle Evangelism - How Should This Look?

He is the vine and we are the branches, so all we have to do is abide, right? What does it look like to abide? When we truly love the ones around us, it should be with gentleness and respect. Especially when the Lord calls us to love the ones who may have differing lifestyles. Are we so self-righteous that we leave out the Holy Spirit and feel it is our job to correct and convict? The truth is that it is the Holy Spirit that convicts everyone, including how we should see the person instead of just the sin and lifestyle choices. Let's take a look at what the Word says about working with the Lord in the process of sharing the Gospel. . . . .

Are you a branch separated from the tree?

Branches apart from the tree are doomed to die. To abide in the Lord as well as with one another is definitely a large part of the Lord's heart. However, to love the Lord and love one another to the point that you are compelled to share His love with the ones around you is the most loving act you could do. How should we do that? Let's go to the Word and see what the Lord says this should look like . . . . .

Trust In the Lord (Intimately)

In today's sermon, Pastor Anthony discusses how we should be trusting in the Lord. Do we, as believers, believe in a God that we don't really trust? We trust God with our salvation, but do we really trust in Him day by day? Who do we go to first with our problems? Is there a disconnect between those two things? Let's listen and hear what the Word of God has to say...

Trust In the Lord 3 (Progressively)

In today's sermon, Pastor Anthony once again goes to Proverbs 3:5-6 and discusses how we should all be trusting in the Lord. We have dealt with the first two ways, entirely and intimately, and now we deal with the third, progressively. As we focus on the last part of verse 6 - "and he shall direct thy steps," Pastor Anthony talks about how the Lord will direct us step by step, and as we learn to trust Him and His faithfulness daily, we will build and grow in that trust. Let's hear what the Word of God says on this very important subject...

Friends of God

Being called a friend of God , what does that mean? Why would Jesus call a paralytic friend, forgive his sin, and turn around and heal him? There is so much about the heart of God that is revealed to us when Jesus calls us friend. Let us dive into the word and see what scripture has to say about the friends of God . . .

What He would not do for angels, He did for us...

What is the difference between "for us" and "with us?" The ability to break the power of sin and death is the difference. To be one of us in the flesh, to be among us so He could be for us in a way that only He could. Let's see how the Word helps us to understand what that means in a personal way.

The power of a snack and a nap

               Today we look at what Elijah goes through when he falls from cloud nine to the pit of despair .How does that happen? One moment we are going through life and everything is wonderful. The next moment we are down in the darkest depth of our lowest place. When there are voices in our lives, situations, or even people who seem to attack and we can not think straight anymore ,there is a solution. Lets go to the word and see what the Lord has to say .....
