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.

NATIVITY: Most of us have one these on display in our home during the Christmas season. It's called the NATIVITY and it is the Iconic & Central scene of the Christmas story. In this series we are going to look at the account of the Christmas story and the people who make up this Nativity scene. God invited all of them to be there and hopefully by looking at their stories we might see a little of our own story. In doing so we hope to find ourselves at the Nativity this Christmas season!

As we celebrate 3yrs as church we take a look at King David and his journey to bring the Ark of God back to the city of Jerusalem. Much like our journey as a church David's journey was filled with all kinds of ups and downs, but in the end there was reason to CELEBRATE! We might even find a reason to DANCE!

Do you the know the Bible talks more about money than any other subject. Jesus even talked more about money than he did Heaven, Hell, & Salvation combined. Why is that? One reason is because Jesus said there is a special connection between our heart and our money. Another reason is because some very special things happen when we choose to give away or be generous with our money. In this message we want to talk about What Happens When You Give.

Do you have a holy discontent? Looking at the story of Nehemiah who found himself in the midst of a city that was broken down we will look to answer this question.

SMOKE & MIRRORS: Jesus believed in and talked about an unseen world. From this unseen world comes an enemy whose main purpose is to deceive us when it comes to God’s truth. These deceptions impact our lives every day. They can deceive our thinking in ways we would never expect and can leave us with a life we never imagined. Each deception has the potential to destroy our relationships, cloud our decisions, and distort even our perception of God. In this series we will learn how we can recognize and overcome our enemy & these deceptions.

When we (us) come together as a church does it matter? Is it important? Throughout the New Testament the Church, which is made up of people (us), is talked about as the Body of Jesus Christ & the Family of God. Jesus died so that we (us) could belong in His Family! It is through that Church Family that He is changing lives. So is it important or does it matter? Listen and find out for yourself!

Remember as a kid your dreams, imagination, goals, etc? When nothing was impossible? Remember when you use to dream of Greatness? When we get older many of us loose that, but why? How do we recapture it? The problem arises as we try to figure out what we're supposed to do with our lives, navigating daily choices and decisions that determine our future. It simply comes down to whose story are you going to choose to live for? Learning from the life of Jesus and George Washington Carver we see God has called us all to live a life on purpose and on mission. Hopefully we will find out the answer to the question; What is your peanut?

As Jesus followers we all experience that tension from whom we used to be (before Jesus) to who we are now (after Jesus). That tension many times comes when we view Jesus just as our Savior and not our Lord. As we are tempted to look elsewhere in our lives to have our deepest needs meet a part from Jesus may we remember what Peter said, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of life.

Sometimes just ONE thing in our life can keep us from EVERYTHING we want or are searching for in life. Learning from the encounter and conversation that Jesus had with a rich young man we see what we have to do to not let that one thing in our life keep us from all we are hoping and searching for. All that we are looking for is found in one word, Surrender.
