This week we heard our brothers and sisters give testimonies about what the Lord is doing in their lives in regard to the mission.

1 Kings 19 This is the eleventh message in a series that addresses how to have a radical faith in a time and generation that seems completely opposed to God.

What he discovers is that God is a gracious comfort at our loneliest points in life and ministry.

We focus specifically on his absolute confidence in God and how that impacted the power of his prayer life.

Colossians 3:8-10

1 Kings 18 This is the eighth message in a series that addresses the issue of how to have a radical faith in a time and generation that seems completely opposed to God. In this sermon we take some time to understand the interaction between Elijah and Obadiah, a man of God who struggled with reluctance. Obadiah would be considered a “righteous remnant” and yet he fears what God is calling him to do...

1 Kings 17 This is the seventh message (an addendum) in a series that addresses the issue of how to have a radical faith in a time and generation that seems completely opposed to God. In this sermon, we take some time to talk about Elijah, a man who lived in a wicked generation in Israel. We explore what chapter 17 teaches about what is required in the life of an evangelist by studying Elijah’s bo...

Job 38-42 This is the sixth message in a series that addresses the issue of how to have a radical faith in a time and generation that seems completely opposed to God.

As we walk with Job and his friends, we learn how easily it is for a remnant people to be distracted in the midst...

Job 1 This is the fifth message in a series that addresses the issue of how to have a radical faith in a time and generation that seems completely opposed to God.

The Two Desires of a Pastor

Daniel 6 This is the fourth message in a series that addresses the issue of how to have a radical faith in a time and generation that seems completely opposed to God.

Daniel faces the lions den with thankfulness, integrity and fai...

Daniel 1 This is the third message in a series that addresses the issue of how to have a radical faith in a time that seems completely opposed to God. Today we meet Daniel, a man who refused to compromise despite Satan’s plan to conform him to the world. Join us as we learn how to be a righteous remnant.

Deuteronomy 5 Israel encountered God "face to face" at the foot of a mountain. In hearing God speak audibly, Israel was confronted with the power of God and the fragility of their flesh. Deuteronomy 5 shows us that without God's provision for a mediator, we cannot sustain an intimate relationship with Him.

Genesis 6-8 This is the second message in a series that addresses the issue of how to have a radical faith in a time that seems completely opposed to Christ. Genesis tells a story about a man whose name was Noah. He models for us what it means to stand alone in the midst of a world that hated God. He shows us how to be righteous in every aspect of life despite the antagonism of the culture.

We invited Pastor Dan Reneau to guest speak at our annual Fall Retreat. His series of messages challenged us to assess our life and consider what it is that we want to pursue.

Ezekiel 14 The first in a series of new messages, Ezekiel 14 describes what it means to be a righteous remnant, the holdouts in a generation that despises God and his Word. The passage points us to three worthy examples who teach us how to shine brighter as the world grows darker.

Ezekiel 2:6 A sermon over Ezekiel 2 where God commands him to be His messenger to a rebellious people. Ezekiel is told not to be concerned with their reactions when he delivers this message. We learn the details of what it means to be a fearless messenger.

Acts 17:18-34 In Acts 17 Paul has discovered the utter lostness of the city of Athens, a city wholly given to idolatry. Paul does the only thing he knows to do when he makes such a discovery - preach. This week in our study we will consider what it looks like to preach to the city that we minister to. We will learn how Paul adapts to his changing audiences, how he doesn’t compromise his message fo...

Deuteronomy 3 Through this intermission of Acts 17, God gave me this passage to reenvision me for the battle at hand. To turn the world upside down, we must know our identity, and we must acknowledge the battle at hand.

Acts 17:13-17 In Acts 17 Paul is whisked away from Berea to Athens where he waits for the rest of his friends to join him. Here Paul has a chance to see one of the most wondrous cities in the world - a cultural, religious and academic epicenter. But as Paul sits and takes in this great city, he isn’t filled with wonder but concern for their lostness and idolatry. Are you stirred for your city? Wha...

Acts 17:10-12 In our story, Paul and the missions team journey to Berea, a town just west of Thessalonica. Here they meet a group of Bereans who listen to their gospel message but rather than accepting it outright, take the time to study God’s word to discern whether or not the message was true. The Berean’s are an example to us of how to become discerning in a world of mis-information and lies.

Numbers 11 God will give you the desire of your heart. This is the key concept in todays message, and the reality is that it is a very scary concept. What happens when the desire of our heart is not in line with what God desires? From Numbers 11 we will see God giving his people the desire of their heart, even though it is not what God wanted for them, and the consequence that comes with it.

Acts 17:1-9 Paul, Silas and the team leave Philippi to go preach the gospel in Thessalonica. After they preached, a group of frustrated antagonists make a very unique claim against them, “These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also”. Part two of this message focuses on the need for the church, it takes team a collection of courageous believers to turn the world upside down.
