As Jesus gathered with His disciples for the Last Supper, he offered them more than just a meal. He offered them a place in his Kingdom, an opportunity to carry on the gospel message. Have you accepted the reservation? Are you willing to trade your sin for a seat or have you traded you seat for sin? Join us as we sit at the Lord's table together.

Through scripture we learn it is undeserved, unearned, and unmerited. But, by sheer love of God through Jesus Christ, His grace for each of us is unlimited. 

Every Church has their issues. The early church wrestled with their behavior matching their belief. Paul would meet with key leaders of the church to make sure their messages aligned but also their lives aligned with the message of the Gospel! Join us today as we join the battle of belief versus behavior.

Change can be hard! The change the Lord brings about can be subtle, it can be slow but it must be surrendered to. Paul's argument in defense of the Gospel is it transformed him, it changed him drastically. Join us as we see how the Gospel changed Paul but also how it can change you!

Jesus is often referred to as the Good Shepherd. Leaving the 99 for 1 is a great picture of Jesus' love for His people. There is coming a day where the sheep will be separated from the goats. In that separation, we see that showing Christ love to others is vital. As we close the series on serving it comes down to one question. What are we doing to impact others in the name of Christ?

Biblically, forgiveness is not a suggestion but a command from the Lord that reflects His love and mercy. Forgiveness can restore joy, relationships and extend grace to those around us. Join us as we look at what it means to fully forgive someone and be used by God to serve them.

What happens when you encounter the unexpected? Are you ready? Do you feel like a failure? Do you trust the Lord to lead in those moments? Expecting the unexpected is being prepared to minister to those around you even don't know the details. The greatest thing you can ever offer in these moments is Jesus. Join us as we see the "Beauty of Serving."

What a blessing to serve the Lord! When the focus turns from Jesus to us, we must be very careful. We may never see the benefits of serving in this lifetime. We must guard our hearts to the selfish desires that creep in. Join us as we study God's Word and look at the warning of "Soliciting Certain Seats."

What does it take to follow the example? Those closest to Jesus, were able to learn so much. Many viewed him as their leader and even Master. What happens when the Master kneels to wash feet? The Master becomes the example. Join us as we see the humility and blessing of serving others.

The challenge of the New Year is how you will prioritize your time. There are resolutions, goals and habits that need to be addressed. Each of these are vying for your time. The challenge for the Christian is how you will God get the Glory for all that you are busy with. Join us today as we see a great example of "Making Time to Serve".

Jesus exposed the faulty foundations of faith in the life of the religious elite. Their traditional culture took the place of sincere devotion. Likewise, we must ensure our faith rests on Christ over Culture.

We have seen Isaiah's declaration that a divine Son would come. He would also be a Servant that delighted the soul of God the Father. We will see in scripture the Son and Servant would become the Sacrifice. Isaiah tells the people of Judah the Sacrifice will be rejected at first but would ultimately be victorious. Join us as we worship Jesus, our Savior this Christmas.

As we continue to look through the Old Testament book of Isaiah, we see a prophet telling a nation that a Savior would come. Through this Savior, God's plan and pleasure would come to be. There are so many things that are delightful in this season; lights, family, and presents to name a few. We pray Jesus is the ultimate delight every day of the believer's life.

We celebrate this Christmas season, looking at the Old Testament book of Isaiah. Through Isaiah's pen and prophesy we see the promise of the coming Messiah. Join us as we celebrate the Child born, the Son given.

Commitment is something that is required in various relationships and job assignments. Commitment to the Lord is a lifestyle that must be displayed every moment of every day. We will see how the commitment of Godly leaders impacts those around them. Will you commit today to serve the Lord?

How does love act? We use the words "I LOVE YOU" often. How does that translate into action? Many are turned away because actions do not match the words. Join us today as we see the principal teaching from Jesus that people will know we are disciples by our love for one another.

Sometimes there is a stigma that surrounds those who are single. They may be looked down on for not having someone to walk through life with. Many scenarios lead to one being single. As we look at this calling, there is still a relationship to celebrate. Join us today for a word of encouragement to those who still have a bond in a season of singleness.

How are we to manage the gift of family? Three words come forward in scripture today as we discuss the blessing of family: Obedience, Honor and Discipling. As Christians we have the responsibility to teach these to our children. As they learn these lessons they ultimately will use them as they serve the Lord. Join us as we look at the Blessing of Family.

When others look at your marriage what do they see? We long for people to see perfection in our marriages but in reality, that isn't possible. What brings beauty to marriage is not anything we bring. Beauty is the presence of Jesus Christ. Join us as we look at building the beauty into our marriages according to the Designer's plan.

It takes two to tango" is often used to describe relationships. It certainly can be applied to the marriage commitment. What happens when one doesn't want to tango any longer? Is the answer to just quit? Join us as we see the breakthrough that many marriages are in need of, a touch from the Lord.

It's easy to be self-centered in so many areas of our lives. We may ask how will this benefit me? The design of marriage, by God, certainly has its benefits to the couple, but it can't stop there. Join us today as we look at a Godly couple who displays the true benefit of being in a Godly marriage.
