Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Is your mind fixed on trusting God for who He is? We often allow the majority of our mental space to be taken up with other voices, issues, and obsessions that lead us to distress. In Psalm 34 we find a path to walk in the goodness of who God is and allow that to lead every thought. Thoughts are powerful and lead most of our actions and interactions. What would happe...

That I May Dwell   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   We need to pray and meditate on God's Word! In a world of darkness and unpredictable seasons of life we need to hold onto God. But beyond our need we find a desire and yearning just to experience what God promises us... His presence. We don't just need to meditate on God, we GET to meditate on God and experience His presence. Today in Psalm 27 we...

When is the Gospel?   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   The Corinthians had an experience with the Gospel that led to salvation. However, the Gospel wasn't leading to life transformation in their day to day lives. Paul was writing to help them see this important truth. We need the Gospel everyday and in every way. When we understand the fullness of the Gospel we will not only lead changed lives but...

God's Call to Sound Doctrine and the Hidden Strategy Dan Bushy, Associate Pastor & Missionary   Titus is one of the most undervalued books in the New Testament. Paul calls Titus to reestablish order and appoint Elders to a church that was plagued with worldly issues.

Partners in the Gospel   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   The Church at Philippi was a church that Paul loved more than all others.  In this letter we find Paul encouraging the Church to keep running in their partnership together.  Today we find three key attributes of the Philippians Church that could greatly change our lives.  We need people, a purpose, and the ability to persevere.    Click on...

The Proton of Jesus   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   Colossae was a small mountain town that had fallen from prominence.  But a significant church movement had begun by some friends of Paul.  In this letter, we find a lot we can relate to.  In it, we find the answer to spiritual protection, spiritual growth, and change in every area of life.  This answer is rooted in the simple question; Is Jesu...

A Faith that Leads to Life   John Reynolds, Family Ministries Pastor   Paul's letter to the church in Galatia was sent to remind the church of the true freedom they have in Christ.

Join us as we look at how faith leads us to real life.    Click on the links below f...

The Fundamentals   Mitch Corea, Student Ministries Pastor   The faith of the church in Rome was known throughout the world. Paul wrote to them with hope and anticipation to meet them one day and use this body to spread the Gospel further than it had gone before. He also knew of some division amongst the Jewish and Gentile believers in Rome. It was for these reasons that Paul wrote to the church in...

Turning From Idols   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   The faith of the Thessalonians went viral in the first century.  Paul spent very little time establishing this Church.  However, the foundation was enough to cause this group of people to put their trust in Jesus and live radically different lives.  What was it about this Church that caused everyone across the Mediterranean world to know them? ...

The Challenging, Beautiful, and Effective News   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   Many of us are like Thomas.  We need to see it before we believe it.  But what we find today is that our believing is often found in seeing the good news in someone else's life.  Thomas was challenged by the resurrection of Jesus.  This challenge resulted in an unexplainable and beautiful peace.  This peace became th...

Have You Seen the Risen King?   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   Today is the day that we celebrate Jesus' greatest miracle.  The day our tears and fears turn to joy and confidence.  The day that Mary and the Disciples saw the Risen King for themselves!  On this day Jesus demonstrated His grace and delivered them with the truth of who He is.  When we see the Risen King, He meets us in our tears an...

Only the King Could Lay His Life Down   John Reynolds, Family Ministries Pastor   At just the right time, Jesus did what only He could do. He laid down His life for us. He told His disciples "my hour has come." No one takes my life from Me; I lay it down freely.  He told Pilate "You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given to you from above."  Jesus made it clear… This is my...

Following Judas, Peter, or Jesus Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   As we set our eyes towards Resurrection Sunday we move through a season of contemplation.  Who are we and who is our heart following?  Every time we read John 18 two disciples capture our attention.  How often do we consider how similar we are to Judas and Peter?  Jesus calls us to follow Him but we often find ourselves consumed wit...
