Current Sermon Series
      Life's inevitable difficulties and disappointments can discourage us from praying, but our response should be to pray anyway and keep praying. Whatever we seek, God invites us to come to Him with confidence, believing that He is able to answer, and He will answer. We can pray. But are you convinced that prayer works, even when you don't get the answers you want? This Beyond Prayer series will hopefully motivate and encourage us to respond to the challenges of life with prayer, to pray without ceasing, and to pray with great expectations. Are you ready for a new level of earnest, passionate, God-size prayers? Join us for this 9-week series.

Last Week:
      In Sunday's message on prayer we saw what it may mean if God were to give us the "yes" that we are looking for. If God gives us the yes, we must be ready for it. Hezekiah prayed for more life and was given 15 more years and it was filled with pride. The Israelites prayed for a king and God warned them that they would bring struggles to them, but they still asked for it and God gave it to them. You may not be ready for God to give you your answer. So, can you handle an answered prayer?

Last Week:
      We continue our study of prayer by looking at what kind of prayers that God answers. Now, don't get me wrong, this is not a secret formula for God to answer all your prayers, but if your prayers contain these things, it is more likely to get answered than all the "gimme" prayers that we offer so often. If we implement these things into our prayer life, it will change the way we pray.

Last Week:
      As we continue our series on prayer, we will look at another parable of Jesus from Luke 18, where a widow has an issue with someone else. Maybe they had taken advantage of her, maybe holding something against her. We don't know what it was, but it drove her to the local judge, who was crooked. He didn't respect people and he didn't respect God. But because of her tenacity, he gave into her just to get her away from him. God does not begrudgingly answer our prayers to get us away from Him. God is not like that crooked judge.

Last Week:
      We close our series on "Doubting God" by looking into what we should do "When You Feel Abandoned By God." Things come up in our lives and we think, "If God loves me, then this wouldn't have happened," or "If God is good, why does He allow bad things to happen?" The thoughts can go on and on, but we need to remember when we feel alone or that God has forsaken us that God is always with us. As believers we should turn our "Why, God?" questions to "What, God?" As Spurgeon states and as the old song sings, "When you can't trace His hand, trust His heart."

      We will look at a misunderstood verse about money. It is NOT the root of all evil, but the love of it is.

      It's easy to think of doubt as a sign of weak faith. But it's not, necessarily. God isn't afraid of our doubts, so we don't have to be either. In the series, Doubting God, we're creating a space for the questions we've been afraid to ask. Together, let's discover how doubt can actually build our faith.

Last Week:
      As we continue our series about "Doubting God," we learn today that we can believe science and God at the same time. God created science. Science and the Bible do not have to be in competition with each other, they can be cooperative. St. Augustine's teaching on this basically says, "The conflict comes from either misunderstanding science or misinterpreting the Bible."

      Insecurities, we all have them about something in our lives. Usually we use them as proof of why we shouldn't be used by God for something, we just don't think that we are qualified.

      Our thoughts are powerful. They change our perspective, impact our decisions, and influence our habits. But what do we do when we become trapped by our thoughts, unable to escape negative and unhealthy thinking? Let’s learn what it means to take our thoughts captive and win the war in our minds.

Last Week:
      We continue our series on "Winning the War In Your Mind" by looking at how we are to deal with the negative thoughts in our mind. It doesn't matter how successful or decent your life may be, we can all still complain about something. Instead of focusing on the negative, we need to reframe our thinking to the way that God and His Word would have us to think. We are to think on that which is good and lovely and pure and more according to Philippians 4:8.

Last Week:
      We continue our series on "Winning The War In Your Mind," by looking at how we need to renew our minds. Scripture explicitly states that the way to renew our minds is to think on that which is pure and holy and the like from Philippians 4:8. God's Word is all of those things, and that is what is going to renew our minds, so we can take it back from our sinful self, and win the war in our minds.

It is so easy to get caught up in the worries and negativity of this world. God would have us to be peaceful and more positive, but mostly, eternal minded.

Last Week:
      Last week we looked from several different books of the Bible on how the Bible speaks for itself and its sufficiency. We don't need anything else along with His Word to live life here on this earth. Today, we will look at God's own testimony about His Word's sufficiency.

      If there's one thing that's true about modern man, it's that he loves technology. For every problem that comes along, there’s a new machine, app, or medicine to fix it.
      But how has he done with spiritual problems - the kind software and chemicals can't reach? Have psychological counseling and man-centered techniques delivered on their promises to help people's deep spiritual needs and personal problems?
      Thankfully, there is one resource that can and does deliver comfort, wisdom, and practical help every time: God’s Word. In this study, we'll learn how to trust the ability of God's Word to deal with even the most complex issues that we'll face.

Last Week:
      Sufficient, when speaking of God's Word, means it is enough, it's all that we need. God has given us everything that we need to live our lives on this Earth until we go to Heaven. Our capability of living in God's plan to the max is from Him and His Word.

Last Week:
      As we close our series on What Jesus Would Undo, we are going to see that He wants to undo spiritual pride in our lives. It is similar to hypocrisy but it's the attitude that we are self-sufficient, self-important, and that we participate in self-exultation. Jesus wants to undo all of that, and have us empty ourselves of us so that we can be filled up by God's grace and be used by God.

Current Sermon Series
      In Jesus' time on Earth, He wasn't interested in token gestures. He didn't care about outward behavior. He shook up anyone whose faith was lukewarm, and He brought hope to the broken, the lost, and those tangled in sin by showing them what true worship could be.
      In this series, we'll go beyond the simple slogans of what it means to follow Christ, and open ourselves up to discover the knots in our lives that Jesus wants to undo, so that we can live an authentic faith. Your attenders will leave with an understanding of the roadblocks Jesus wants to remove from our spiritual walks as well as a renewed passion for a legitimate relationship with him.

Last Week:
      Did you ever get a chocolate bunny or something like it, and come to find out, it was hollow? Something was missing. Unfortunately, many times our worship has something missing. True worship that moves God comes not from the right kind or style of music, but from a heart that desires to please God. Today, we will see what it means to have hollow worship, and what we can do to make fuller.

Last Week:
      Over 100 years ago a novel was written by Charles Sheldon called "In His Steps." In it the popular question was coined, "What would Jesus do?" In this series, we are going to ask a different question, "What would Jesus undo?" There are things that are going on the lives of many Christians that would be considered them spiritually indifferent. We will talk about what causes it, what are some indicators of it, as well as one thing that will help us get out of Spiritual Indifference.

      As we close our series on how to "Take Back Your Life," we will look at how we can do "The Right Thing, The Wrong Way." David wanted to worship God by bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, but he went about it the wrong way and someone died. It was the right thing done the wrong way. What are we doing today that is the right thing to do, but we are going about it the wrong way? David goes back later and does it right. We need to stick with it and keep working.

Last Week:
      As we continue our series on "Take Back Your Life," probably the most dire need for us to take our life back is to take our thoughts captive. If we fail in taking control of our thoughts, it can ruin our lives, our relationships, and pretty much everything. If we don't take them captive, it will alter the direction of our lives. Today we learn what happens when we get control over our thoughts.
