We have an enemy. Our enemy is an enemy of God. Every day this enemy will try to tempt us. The hardest time for us to resist his temptation is when he goes full-throttle. When the stakes are the highest, the temptation is the strongest. This weekend we are kicking off the series, Enough is Enough. With so much on the line, it's time we let Satan know we are playing for keeps.

We get our English word "phobia" from the Greek word "fear." A phobia is something that debilitates or incapacitates us and when it comes to faith, our fears can debilitate or incapacitate our faith. Jesus had much to say about our spiritual doubts and lack of faith. As we wrap up this series, we will uncover the problem with "trusting our fears."

We know what we believe. We might even be able to articulate why we believe what we believe. But what about where we lack belief? Do you know where you have unbelief and why you have it? When fueling your faith any unbelief you have concerning what God wants you to believe will limit your faith. This weekend we will see what Jesus does with someone’s unbelief and why prayer is so important.

What could God do through a faith that simply says yes? What if your next step of faith isn’t something big or extraordinary, but simply saying yes to God in the small, everyday moments of obedience? Every yes is an opportunity for God to grow your faith, shape your life, and use you in ways you may never have imagined. Listen in to guest speaker and missionary Billy Perry as we discover how one s...

Imagine yourself being a marathon runner, buying the best running shoes and the right moisture-wicking gear. You download all the training apps and follow all the latest fitness influencers on Instagram. You sit in your recliner wearing that gear, watching the training videos and sipping on a protein shake, yelling, "I believe in running. Running is my life." But that doesn't make you a runner. No...

If you have faith, you still need to fuel it. What you fuel your faith with matters. Low-grade fuel reduces faith to low-grade results, but high-octane fuel empowers a high-octane faith. Come discover what some high-octane boosters you can add to the fuel that feeds your faith. This could be the message that gives your faith the boost it needs.

Faith requires fuel. Without fueling your faith it just won't take you anywhere. But if you will keep fueling your faith, it can take you on an amazing journey. As we launch this series, we will begin with identifying what is required to have an amazing faith and how you can acquire what is required. "Amazing Faith" isn't limited to a few, it's the type of faith God wants everyone to have.

Has fear ever had control over you? Fear can be disguised as stress or anxiety and if you don't gain control over it, it will control you. Fear is a thief that robs your joy and your peace. Fear relegates you to survival mode. If you've been there, or worse are there right now, we will see how to turn to God with your fear and see how He will do more than just set you free from your fear. He will...

We've all been there. . . "I just don't know what to do." It's a helpless feeling. Even worse, it's a hopeless feeling. But it is in these times that we have two specific things we should be doing. If you are there now or want to be prepared for a future time when you don't know what to do, this is the sermon for you!

Failure is pain that cuts to the heart. Failing can make us feel like a failure. If you’ve been there, it’s important to understand that failure doesn’t have to be final. Even when you feel like you can’t recover, even if you can’t. . . God can! Ever since the first sin, God has been in the recovery business. You might be surprised to discover one of the spiritual giants from our Bible, Moses, fai...

Everyone deals with setbacks. It's not a modern-day issue; in fact, the issue of setbacks has existed dating back to Adam and Eve.

This weekend, we will look at one of the most famous setbacks from the Old Testament and why we shouldn't give up no matter the setback because Go...

Regeneration can mean so many things. Cars have regenerative braking, our skin regenerates cells daily, and even the human liver can regrow to full size after losing 75% of its mass. Regeneration is the process of replacing what has been lost or restoring what has stopped working. Spiritually speaking, regeneration is the healing work on our spirit. Everyone could benefit from experiencing this “r...

There is a time to learn more about prayer and a time to put what we learn into practice. The best way to improve our prayer life is to practice prayer. This service will look and feel different than our normal services as we make room for prayer throughout our service. We desire is for you to experience something new and to understand more about how to P.R.A.Y.

Praying isn't a simple formula that brings instant results. The length of your prayers doesn't determine God's timeliness. But the time you spend in prayer will determine how faithful you will be when God's timing is different than your timing or His answers are different than the answers you want. Persevering in prayer unlocks the ability to grow your faith even when it is being put to the test.

If there is one person we should model our prayer life after, it would be the one who understood it the most. Jesus prayed powerful prayers. Those prayers didn’t just move God to action, but it moved people to recognize the relationship our Heaven Father wants to have with them. If we are going to make the most of our prayer life, we need to understand how Jesus prayed, what He taught about prayin...

While it seems like nearly everyone prays at one time or another it also seems like people lack so much understanding of prayer and its multifaceted purposes. Is there a right time, a right tone, a right temperament that God requires before He listens to our prayers? Do we just submit our prayer requests and wait in line for God to answer? Does prayer even make a difference? People have more quest...

Keys are an interesting tool. They can unlock doors, treasure chests, secret compartments, and lock boxes, revealing the hidden secrets inside.

Show and tell is about introducing others to something they might not know about otherwise. Unless Christians show and tell, people won’t be introduced to Jesus. If you’ve been uncomfortable, reluctant, or even fearful about having a conversation about your faith this message is for you. Not only will you be encouraged, but you will also get equipped. This message might bring the change that would...

Change creates tension. When change is forced on you, the natural response is to resist it, complain about it, or even reject it. But when you are included in the process of change, your willingness for change increases. What is a change that is overdue?  Jesus came to change your life, and He wants every life that is changed by Him to introduce others to the change He offers. Join us for this two...

Student Sunday -- Throw It Off What’s holding you back from getting closer to Jesus? In the Bible, we hear the story of a man who refused to stay stuck in the labels, limitations, and comforts that defined his old life. Before he could step into healing and purpose, he had to throw some things off. Too often, we hold on to the very things that prevent us from real freedom in God. Listen in as Past...

Everyone wants to get the most out of life, but there is a difference between maxing out and maximizing life. One causes us to hit our limits, while the other helps us keep moving forward and thriving. Too often, people end up maxing out instead of maximizing their lives and continuing to hit their stride. You may be surprised to discover that many well-known biblical heroes maxed out at some poin...
