Hate is a word that brings all sorts of emotions. Some think it is a word that should never be said out loud, others say it without hesitation. We’ve even been taught to hate things and not people. However, Jesus talked about hate. How He was hated and how anyone who loves Him will be hated. Why all the hate? That’s what this week's message will be all about. Join us as we talk about the unpopular...

Just as branches need the vine to survive, we must remain in Christ to grow, thrive, and bear fruit. Without Him, we are unable to experience the fullness of life He intends for us. But remember, there must also be a pruning process to produce more fruit. Though pruning can be painful, it is necessary for our spiritual strength and development, drawing us closer to Him and shaping us into who we a...

There are good examples and then there are bad examples. While we might point to bad examples, so some people might learn from the mistakes of others, the best way to help people learn is from the success of others. This is what Jesus did for us, He provided the greatest example of how we should live our lives. He set an example for us to follow. He didn’t just do this hoping we would catch on and...

One option for Bibles is what we call the “Red Letter Edition.” These editions take the words Jesus spoke and make them stand out because they are written in red. The red letters make it easy to identify when Jesus is speaking. This series will focus on the words Jesus spoke while preparing His disciples and others for His death, burial, and resurrection. This week, we will see just how important...

God created people to be in close relationship with Him. This relationship is meant to be our first priority. Nothing can compare to the feeling of God’s presence, but God’s presence is so much more than a feeling. On Sunday, Pastor Wil is going to conclude the series with the most rewarding desperation we have, being in God’s presence. Come see why this desperation presents us with our greatest o...

We can feel for others and that is a good thing, but often doesn’t lead to action. It is when we are desperate for others that we are willing drop what we are doing, make some sacrifices and act on their behalf. Relationships require responsibilities and the more desperate we are for others, the more responsible we will be. We don’t have to settle for just feeling for someone because of their situ...

Hope changes everything. When you are desperate for hope, you have a desperation for change. Whether you’ve been there in the past or find yourself desperate for hope now, hope can be found. God is in the hope business. This weekend, we will see how the right amount of stress can prepare us and equip us to withstand the trials until hope arrives. Don’t miss this opportunity to invite someone to he...

Our relationship with God is more than a feeling. It is meant to be a rich, rewarding, fulfilling relationship, because of our worship and devotion to Him. Our devotion to God won’t mature until we realize our desperation for Him. It will take more than a feeling for God to become our greatest desire. Join us, as we launch this new series and invite someone to sit with you.   Connect with us! http...

There is an old saying: “What you measure grows.” If that were always true, we would measure everything we wanted to grow. The best way to “measure” money is to track it. To spy on it. To know where it is going before it ever leaves. This week, we will see what Jesus had to say about whose money it is and what responsibility we have to not only track it, but to use it. Come ready to be encouraged...

Making the most of money isn’t about making the most money. To make the most of money, you need to make wise choices with money. The norms of handling money in our society have led many on a path of worry and stress. Jesus taught us how we could minimize our worry and stress, but it will require us to flip the script on American norms. If you are interested in reducing the worry and stress of mone...

To make the most of anything, we have to know the limits and see the potential. This applies to money too. Making the most of money requires us to treat money the way God intended it to be treated. Money doesn’t just tell a story; it has the ability to create stories. What stories do you want the money you manage to tell?

For our last sermon in the series “I am Determined…” we will finish the progression we have been working toward. A determination to Know God, Find Freedom and Discover Purpose isn’t complete to stop there. There is one final area of determination that deserves our full attention, and that is to Make a Difference. It isn’t enough to discover your purpose, because your purpose is to make a differenc...

The greatest discovery anyone could ever make is their purpose. All other discoveries fall short of our purpose or complement it. If you are at a place where you are wondering about your purpose, this is a must-not-miss Sunday! Don’t just show up—show up ready to take notes and take action!

Freedom always comes after a price has been paid. The great news is that Jesus paid the price to offer us freedom from what wants to hold us captive… sin. God’s Son came to set us free. This freedom is offered and never forced on us. This weekend, we will identify how to find freedom and live in the freedom that has been offered to us.

It’s a new year, but instead of thinking about the “new you,” why not be determined to be the best you? The best version of you will require building your life on Christ and ridding your life of anything distracting. Don’t just let it remain a dream; instead, make it a determination. Join us for the month of January with a heart determined to become more of who God created you to be.

What kind of peace could be greater than world peace? I can only think of one thing: eternal peace. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, who didn’t settle for bringing world peace. He set His sights on eternal peace and didn’t stop until He provided it. The first Christmas delivered peace where we needed it the most. Come discover the impact Christmas has on peace and what it means for you.

Christmas comes at the same time every year. Some things we want to make sure we repeat—spending time with family, finding a special gift that says "I love you," and enjoying a traditional meal. But with last year’s Christmas behind us, we can consider how we want "THIS CHRISTMAS" to be different. The thought of "THIS CHRISTMAS" brings the idea of making this year better than the last. Join us thi...

It’s December, and by now, you should have started preparing for Christmas. Preparing might involve planning a trip, planning for guests, planning to give gifts, planning for a big meal…Christmas involves lots of planning. Christmas is about God’s plan to rescue and redeem people. In order for His plan to make a difference, we will need to prepare to embrace His plan. This weekend don’t just atten...

It is easy to find all the things going wrong in our lives and all around us. However, the greater discovery comes when we find contentment. It may be hard for you to believe, but contentment can be found and it doesn’t depend on your circumstances. Join us as we learn what the Apostle Paul discovered about contentment. The final part in our JOYful series could change your life! Connect with us! h...

Joy can be hijacked in broad daylight or in the stillness of the night. Your hijackers might be masked, or they might be known. If someone or something hijacks your joy, it is important to understand that your joy is recoverable. There is one authority who can and will restore your joy if you allow Him to. If you’ve been a victim and are missing some or all of your joy, this Sunday will show you h...

One of the most overrated emotions is happiness. It's overrated because experiencing it and sustaining it are two different things. We all want to be happy. Some people even desperately seek happiness. But often, what we do to create a moment of happiness can lead to years of consequences. This series will help you gain a new perspective on happiness and lead you to look for something that is more...

Milestones mark significant achievements in our lives. As we wrap up Navigating Change, we will look beyond the books of Exodus and Numbers to see the Israelites finally receiving the Promised Land. God has things in store for us, and we, like the Israelites, need to be faithful and patient to receive God’s blessings. Come, take a seat and see how you can prepare yourself for God’s milestone momen...

People do one of two things regarding their relationship with God: they either rebel against Him or choose to honor Him. The best way to honor God is to submit to His authority. The easiest way to rebel against God is to reject His authority. The choice is yours to make, and the choice you make will have a lasting impact. 

Living by faith is easier said than done. The most faithful people can struggle at times to live by faith. The lack of faith can easily produce fear and great faith can overcome fear. Come get encouraged and equipped this weekend so you can live by faith.
