"To address the reality of anxiety in everyday life and learn how to deal with it by letting Jesus have it."   Matthew 6:25-34

Matthew 6:19-24 In every facet of our lives, there are just two choices on the shelf, "pleasing God or pleasing self!" The goal of today's message is to connect our "Heart to the ultimate Treasure!" by recognizing GREED and Rejecting it!  

Matthew 6:5-17  To Engage and Experience God in Prayer not as a Routine, but a Rhythm!

Text: Matthew 6:1-4 Target: To recognize the immediate daily tension of the underlying reasons of why we seek Jesus and why we choose to follow Him. Our hope is to move from the perspective of Christianity that begins with the idea of "what about me", then settles for "what's in it for me" to know the reward of following Jesus "is not about me".

Text:   Matthew 5:38-42 "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not tu...

Text: Matthew 5:31-32 Target: To understand that Jesus reframes the conversation of divorce in order to create HONOR FOR marriage and HEALING to those who have been wounded BY marriage.

Text: Matthew 5:27-30 Target: To develop an understanding that purity is more than a line, it is direction.

Text: Matthew 5:21-26 Target:   To understand that every one of us has an "anger issue" at some level revealing at times the worst part of who we are, but the difference between the "management of anger" and "anger management" is found in changing the order in which we process disappointment.

Text: Matthew 5:17-20 Target: The tension between the "Law of God" and the "Grace of God" is never solved with an either-or mindset, but rather both and lifestyle.

Text: Matthew 5:13-16 Target: Living according to the "Kingdom Principles" of the Beatitudes advances "Kingdom Purpose," and today we look at two metaphors that show us how!

Text: Matthew 5:1-11 Target: Every principle carries a promise, but when the promise carries us, we live by no ordinary principles, but instead KINGDOM PRINCIPLES.

Text: Matthew 11:1-6 Target: Today we discover that when "in doubt" there should be "no doubt" about how we should respond!

Text: John 3:31-36 Target: The final words of John the Baptist to the masses is one of the most systematic synopses on the life and ministry of Jesus. The pursuit of today's message is to allow belief to drive our behavior, not our behavior to dictate our beliefs.

Text : John 3:26-30 Target : As Christians when you understand that you are called to be a REBEL "with a cause", your mission becomes clear, and your life points to Christ.

Text: Matthew 3:17, Luke 3:22 Target: To discover that our performance for God does not determine our place with God.

Text: Malachi 4:6 : " And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers." Target: The way a person perceives God is the lens in which a person sees the world, and the way they see themselves. Our effort today is to change out the lens!

Text: Luke 1:6-23 Target: The belief of "unanswered prayer" is to assume that God is indifferent and uninterested and that today's message REBELS against that assumption!

There are "3 Distinct DNA Markers" that distinguish and define every follower of Jesus and every Church. 

A rock is rock until a rock is repurposed and then it becomes a stone. For the rock itself hasn't changed, but what it is being used for has, thus requiring a name change. Today, we seek to repurpose rocks into stones.

The hope of every follower of Jesus is His return to this earth to make all things new. Though many Christians don't agree on every detail on "end time events" we can fully agree on these things.
