Crowds in the bible have always fascinated me. The bible lets us know what the people observing a story thought and felt. In this message, we look at three crowds and three stories. One takes place before Christ's Triumphal entry on the first palm Sunday, one takes during and the other after. Each crowd teaches us something different about the impact of Jesus on the world.

Paul's life was anything but planned and perfect. For followers of Christ, the walk can take us to new, excited and uncharted places.  Are you ready? 

The war for the compliance of the heart is one of the most understood and difficult aspects of seeking to grow as an apprentice of Jesus.  There is some good news about it however. It has to do with the Holy Spirit's decision to fight the battle for you. 

Our culture values the big and brave superhero who can sweep in to solve our problems. Paul teaches us something different about where real strength lies. 

It's easy to follow a rule that makes us feel better about ourselves.  Its more challenging when when following becomes about issues of the heart more than rules. We can do it, however, if we will make Jesus our example. This is the message from Sunday, February 4, 2024.

Inadequacy is not a popular goal for us. But, when it comes to our relationship with God, Paul teaches us something different. This is the message from Sunday, January 28, 2024.

How much can humans really change? When Paul first became a believer in Christ, it was hard for the world around him to believe. So he spent the rest of his life telling them how it was possible as he lived a new life before them. 

Paul's conversion found in Acts 9 is a remarkable, yet outrageous moment in human history. How it unfolds is a lesson for all of us and leaves us a pattern for how God interrupts and changes the human heart. 

The greatest evangelist (outside of Jesus Christ) to ever live started out as a real bad guy. What does that story of the life of Saul, who became Paul, teach us today?

When God has something for you to do, he provides the grace to do that. The story of the birth of Christ is one of those circumstances where God's grace covered a young girl who was chosen by God to be the mother of Christ. Wow.

Matthew 1 teaches about the man in the "back of the room" during the story of the birth of Christ. He never said a word that was recorded, but his actions speak to us about something God wanted the world to know.

What you seek in life is what you will find. The story of the magi in Matthew 2 is one of history's greatest stories of seeking and finding something life changing. These visitors from the east have a lot to teach us.

Micah the prophet looked into the future for a solution to the problem of Judah's difficult present. That answer for Judah is still the one we cling to today. 

The will of God meant a difficult journey and experience for Mary and Joseph. How does God use the circumstances of life to bring us to a perfect place to do His will? 

The Christmas season means waiting on a special moment to arrive. Truth is, the world waited a long time for Christ to arrive...but He did. How did the Christmas promise begin. This message explores when the wait began and why.

It's a noisy world, but God has something to say. Not only does He have something to say, He is also listening through the noise to the cries of your heart.

David found himself in a cave -- hiding from a formidable enemy, a king. He cried out to God and taught us a ton about how to handle it when we find ourselves hiding out from a problem in life.

The psalm writers were good at praising God, but even better at complaining. Is there a place for complaining in the life of a believer?

Its radically significant to come to grips with your beginnings. God knew you before the rest of us did and wrote down the story of your life. 

Psalm 46 describes how God is a refuge for us even when we face an earthquake. Troubles in life are common, but God is our strength. This passage helps us know what to do when that trouble comes.

God's call throughout the psalms is to find God by growing roots in Him. Those roots will go deep in His Love and personality if we are just willing to "think" about His words.

Psalm 24 teaches us about a vitally important ingredient to help each of us discover and know our infinitely great God.

The Gospel and this wonderful thing called "The Kingdom of God," go hand in hand. When you find Jesus through the gospel, you live in a new realm that sometimes may seem strange.

An ancient warrior needed healing, so he went to see a prophet of God. What happened shook his world and changed his life. 

The human heart longs for peace. Sadly, we can find ourselves seeking counterfeit peace solutions. Jesus has a solution that is genuine and that will last an eternity.
