The love of God fuels the mission of the Son to save the world. God’s love is unmerited, willing, and to be received.

A RESET is necessary from time to time, and is not always a bad thing. The hope and promise of what is to come is motivation to allow it to happen. Scott DeSanders wraps up our Disciple Now weekend with a wrap up of the story of the Flood.

We prepare our hearts not only to take the Lord's Supper, but to be ready to move out in obedience to the Lord's nudges.

As the Church was birthed they came together regularly to ‘break bread’ and remember the incredible sacrifice that Jesus had made for them. This continues today every time we partake of the Lord’s Supper.

When Peter stood and preached after being filled with the Holy Spirit 3,000 were saved. These new followers took the next steps that were needed to grow in their newfound faith.

It is important that we understand our purpose as a Church during these uncertain times. This message helps us unpack our bags as we enter a new year.

Naaman was a great man, with a great need. The one thing he wanted, he could not get on his own. Our greatest needs are met only through the great news of the gospel. This is Naaman's journey to meet our Great God.

Even when the ground is shaking beneath your feet, the covenant faithfulness of the Lord still stands.

God invaded earth when He sent Jesus. This invasion displays His love for us.

Simeon recognized Jesus as the Messiah, and he spoke of the hope that would come through Him.

In a time of turmoil and disarray, God sent Jesus into the world. Today in our time of turmoil and upheaval, God still gives the joy of Jesus.

The Lord Supper is a time to regather in community, remember Christ and his death, and to redirect our lives. In a season of uncertainty and disappointment, we gather at the table together to remember of God’s love and faithfulness.

Joseph shows us what genuine forgiveness looks like as he is reunited with his brothers after several years.

We are all faced with the opportunity to choose between life and death. And we will all be confronted with our sin.

Week eight in our journey with Joseph brings us to Joseph as Prime Minister of Egypt and the birth of his two sons shows us how Joseph views his past in light of his present and future.

In God’s time He fulfilled things in the life of Joseph that put him in position to change the world.

Joseph is forgotten in jail by the cupbearer, but not by God who is often working in the background to accomplish his purposes in us.

God was about the task of refining Joseph’s character so He could prepare him for a huge task. God does the same in us.

Daniel and David may have more famous acts of courage, but what Joseph did may be the greatest act of courage, outside the cross, in the Bible; and is the most relevant for our current culture.

As his brothers struggle with envy, they are led to sell Joseph into slavery. God continues to develop Joseph into a man He can use.

Jacob showed favoritism to Joseph, but God would use his family dysfunction to prepare Joseph for great things.

Often we use our family of origin as an excuse to not take responsibility for our growth. Joseph gives a great picture of overcoming.

Life is often full of difficulties; however, God can use those difficulties for His purposes.

The theme of Joel is the Day of the Lord. It is not referring to a a 24 hour period. It refers to a process of time by which God disrupts the world with His own agenda in terms of judgment. God’s redemptive intention is to restore us to fellowship with him. God wants to restore to “you the years that the swarming locust has eaten.”

By His wounds we are healed.
