Discontentment is the cancer of our generation. It erodes our hapiness, and innoculates us from the joys of our today. God's word is clear that Godliness with contentment is great gain and that according to the Apostle Paul there is a secret to learning to be content in all things. This message shows us how to attain that most blessed state.

God has given us everything we need for life and godliness.

Most of the anxiety we experience in our Christian lives is the result of calculating the odds of our present situation. The financial odds, the relational odds, the physical odds. This message addresses the nature and power of God to control all things at the same time for our good.

At the close of 2013 many people have lost hope. Their problem is not that they see things incorrectly, but that they feel they will always stay as they are. Darkness will remain dark, pain will remain painful, those in chains cannot ever see their freedom and those who are lonely can only see themselves alone. Our tomorrow will still of course have its challenges, difficulties, sorrows, and trial...

The key to spiritual renewal is just as much about what you leave behind as it is in where you are going. This message deals with 7 things you really must leave in last year to fulfill God's intentions for you in 2014.

Anything we want to change in our life has cost. Are we willing to pay it?

This message deals with the question of why Jesus came to earth, and why we resist and reject him.

When Mary and Joseph heard that there was "no room" for them in the Inn, I am sure they were disappointed, anxious, and maybe even angry. But sometimes God closes doors that we are looking toward to give us experiences we would have never had.

We will be known and rewarded in heaven not by what we acquired, but by what we've given away.

Your feet cannot carry you where your eyes are not looking. Keep your eyes focused on Christ and heaven as your destination; every other distraction leads to the same place... Regret!

Worship has in its foundation gratitude and thankfulness. What are we thankful for?

In this story we see the heart of worship Humility, Gratitude, Deep Humility, Emotion, and Extravagance; and this was given before Jesus died to take away our sins. If this was given before the cross, then surely this must be the floor for what we offer The Lord today.

God makes his acts glorious, but it is we who are called to make his praise glorious. He doesn't make it glorious by His Spirit, we make it glorious by ours. Our emotions, our will, our gratitude, our words. It all hinges on us.

Praise is expected and commanded by God. It should be the natural expression of those who recognize God, acknowledge his works, and appreciate his goodness. God expects praise from every living thing.

Our heart is deceitfully wicked above all things and who can know it? The only way to know the true condition of our heart is to apply the light of the word of God to it and see how it truly is. This message deals with 4 types of a backslidden heart: the unfaithful wife, the unhealthy patient, the unplowed field, and the uncircumcised heart. The key to life is forgiveness, and the key to forgivene...

In this story, Jesus asked the disciples a question that they never answered, and still goes unanswered today. Why are you so fearful, how is it that you have no faith? God uses the storms of our life to root out all fear by the revelation of his person.

Storms come to all our lives; it is what we do in the storms and what comes from them that makes all the difference. When Jesus spoke he mentioned not the storm on the outside but the one on the inside. Why did you doubt? is still the question today.

The story of Simon Peter walking on the water is a beautiful type of how a person comes to be rescued, saved by the Lord Jesus Christ. He is able to save to the uttermost them that call upon his name.

As christians, we all know what fear is and many of us know it too well. It is necessary to have a sense of fear so that we can respect boundaries, but we are to never be controlled by fear as a dictator in our lives. The bible says that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.

The Bible declares that one of the things Jesus will be known for and empowered to do is to give beauty for ashes, and the oil of joy for mourning. At the grave of Lazarus, he made this statement: "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"

Very few people began with more than King Solomon. The Lord loved him and named him as such. He gave him wisdom, wealth, peace, and prestige. Yet in his later years, he turned away from the Lord. This message reminds us that anyone is capable of anything, and that we should walk soberly in this world, keeping our heart clean of any offense.

We all know what it is to live in someone else's shadow. Who they are and what they have done or not done comes into our lives uninvited and if we are not careful, we can get lost there. It is OK to find rest in the shade of someone else, just not our identity. This message shows us how much Solomon was loved of the Lord independent of the greatest man in the history of Israel, King David.

Deep down we all know that personal evangelism is our responsibility, but very few practice it. Some do not because of fear, others do not care, but most feel that they cannot do this effectively because they are not sure how. This message deals with approach and telling of the gospel to others.

What I went to do was teach, preach, and minister...and I did. But what I saw changed my life. It was not the poverty, or the lack that surprised me, but the abundance. The abundance of Joy, Love, and Life that they possessed.
