You don’t become a Christian by following a bunch of religious doctrine and reading the Bible. While these are useful for spiritual growth, the thing that makes you a child of God is having a relationship with Jesus Christ. Living a Christian life without Christ is like getting behind the wheel of a car without an engine. You can do all the right things to make the car move, but the most important...

Walking in the way of Jesus is a very difficult thing to do. So many aspects of living a life that is pleasing to Christ involve putting aside your human nature and human reactions, and instead choosing a different path. And Pastor Jeff teaches today that you just don’t have the strength on your own to live that kind of life consistently. Instead, rely on the sources of strength that God has provi...

Many people are tempted to give up on a project after it fails. How many unfinished hot rods are sitting in people’s garages, unfinished after a setback?

In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that you need to be using your gifts to further God’s Gospel. In everything you do, never forget the great commission set before you.

When car manufacturers are designing new models, they need to run safety tests to ensure that their vehicles will protect passengers in the event of a crash. And just like those vehicles, your own life will be subject to tests and trials to refine and develop your faith. Pastor Jeff reminds you today of the parable of the house built on the solid rock, and how having that foundation in Christ will...

Jesus set a high bar for Christians when he was confronted with the failure of His disciples to stay awake with Him in the garden of Gethsemane. He could have brought down righteous anger, knowing that there was horrible suffering coming His way, but instead, Jesus prayed for His friends.

Pastor Jeff teaches you today that negative thoughts can accelerate your descent into depression, so the best thing...

Sin is like an old man who’s lived in the same home his entire life. He never wants to leave it behind, and it may take a lot of effort to get him to completely leave, even if it’s what’s best for everyone involved. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that sin can be a stubborn thing to get rid of, but the power of Jesus can purge it from your life one piece at a time. But He won’t do the work unless yo...

Is it a bad thing for you to be hungry? When you break it down, hunger is just your body communicating a desire to eat food. Needing to eat is not a bad thing, but if you commit sin while obtaining the needed food, that becomes a problem. Pastor Jeff doesn’t want you to be ashamed of being hungry, or of having needs and desires. The problem is when you turn to sinful behavior to meet the needs of...

So what do you do when it seems like the enemy has won? When things don’t work out the way you think they will? Pastor Jeff shows you how sometimes God will allow the enemy small victories while giving you greater opportunities to serve Him in the process. The apostle Paul could have put his head between his legs and endured prison sentences, but instead, he put his time to good use and wrote the...

Do you hear the enemy trying to talk you down from doing something? Does he try and make you think that you’re doomed to fail, or that God has abandoned you? Well, Pastor Jeff shows you today how Nehemiah faced similar challenges when rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. In order to complete the task that the Lord had given him, Nehemiah had to fend off both verbal and physical threats and trust in...

Don’t let doubt become an obstacle that hinders your relationship with God! Instead, Pastor Jeff tells you today that it should just be a step on the journey, a small part of a bigger story of faith. When you are faced with doubt, the Bible tells you that you should confess them to Jesus, and place them at His feet. Allow Him to calm your fears and anxieties, and live in the freedom that His love...

Every believer is going to doubt God at some point. There will be times when your faith in Him wavers, even just for a moment. That isn’t sinful behavior, and God isn’t going to look poorly on you because of it. But Pastor Jeff warns you to not confuse doubt and unbelief because unbelief is the thing that can begin to rot away at your relationship with God. You don’t sin when you doubt God’s goodn...

God did not promise that you would have an easy path through life.

Rise above it all and be a brand new creati...
