Storms are a part of life. You are either in one, coming out of one, or about to be in one. The question is when you find yourself in the storms of life what do you do? How do you get through it? Also, what if there was a way not just to get through it or survive it, but to actually rise above it?

Maybe you have experienced this or at least now someone who has. At one point in your life you are doing well spiritually. You are active in church, spending time with God, and living a godly life. Then something happens! Within a matter of weeks or months (because it never happens over night) you began to change and not for the better. You have stopped hanging out with your Christian friends, stopped going to church, and you cannot remember the last time you talked to God. For some they even turn their back on everything they believed in. How does this happen? How do we become so spiritually sick? In this message we will look at the symptoms or signs that you are sick as well as some preventive measures you can take to keep this from happening to you!

SOMETHING PERSONAL: Are questions, concerns, or doubts preventing you from making a personal connection with God? This series is directed to men and women who desire a personal relationship with God, but who have questions they want answered first. The fact is that adults don't become followers of Christ by getting all their questions answered. In most instances, something happens that shrinks those questions. And that something is always personal. You don't have to understand everything to believe in something.

Not everyone believes that Jesus rose from the dead. Matter of fact no body believed that Jesus was alive that first Easter morning. But the one thing the resurrection of Jesus creates is a very distinct line when it comes to what we believe about Jesus. All of us are on one side or the other of that line! Which side are you on?

"W: IT’S WHAT WE DO" If you stop and think about it, everyone worships. It's what we do! All day long we give our time, energy and affection to something or someone. Day by day, we declare our allegiance. In other words, we worship. Worship is about what we value most. Not just for the religious within church walls, worship is the activity of the human soul. What is essential is that we choose wisely, worshiping what is ultimately worthy of our lives both now and forever.

We all have things in our lives that stand between us and the life God has for us. They are like spiritual road blocks and we struggle to get past them. But many times a single choice can make all the difference!

Taken from a familiar passage found in John chapter 11 we take an honest look at what happens when real Suffering collides with a real God!

KEEP IT SIMPLE: In spite of what you may have heard, in spite of what you may have thought, the message of Jesus is really quite simple. At a time when religious leaders and a religious system made it increasingly complicated to connect with God, Jesus appeared and announced that God's intent was to connect with us, not confuse us. To those who were considered most distant from God, Jesus offered a simple invitation. In this three-part series we will look at what it means to simply: Follow. Believe. Obey.
