Being thankful is a powerful choice we can make that brings hope and healing in our negative world.

Guest speaker Pastor Willie George talks about the importance of investing in the next generation, and not neglecting children or the role they play in the church. With a wealth of experience to draw from, Pastor George uses examples from his ministry to show how we can apply this message in our church, and in our lives.

Leadership will be successful if it is built on the qualities of trust.

By putting your trust in God, the difficult process of healing broken relationships is made possible.

Building an assured reliance on the character, ability, and strength of God even through difficult circumstances.

Trust is the foundation for relationships.

Your purpose provides the vision for your life and will motivate your daily activities. The story of Joseph is a great example of someone who fulfilled his vision by understanding his purpose and sticking to his core values.

Why do people have trouble finding their purpose? God designed you with a unique purpose and you are equipped with everything you need to fulfill it. By conforming to Godʼs word we can prove (demonstrate the truth or existence of) His perfect will for our life.

Before you can find your purpose in life and live it out, you must first understand the principles of purpose.

Everyday work can be a tremendous catalyst for spiritual growth rather than a diversion from our spiritual life.

Work is defined as the purposeful activity, whether manual or mental or both, whether remunerated or not. Work is part of God's plan for our lives, and it becomes the crucible where our character is deeply formed.

The definition of a holiday is a day of festivity or recreation when no work is done. God designed us to enjoy holidays and rest. They are a gift from God to us, and it takes faith to step away from the demands of work to be refreshed.

The role of fathers is under attack today and like an endangered species, it needs to be preserved. To preserve fatherhood we first must understand how important it is, and then we need to make a decision to honor it.

Have you ever wished you could call on someone who would not only fight your battles, but also calm your fearful heart? There are many names that describe the attributes of God and one of these attributes is the protection He gives His children.

Pastor Dave Koop uses the Apostle Paul as an example of someone who made disciples. He also confronts 2 common misconceptions about discipleship. We all have someone we can disciple, and we also need someone to disciple us!

Pentecost is a calling to serve the Lord in the power of the Holy Spirit. Serve means to perform duties or services for another person or an organization. The duty which Jesus needs us to do, is to be a witness.

To follow Jesus means to follow His example of caring for others. Galatians 6:9,10 says, "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have an opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith."

The Apostle Paul writes in Philippians 3, "I run to win that which Jesus Christ has already won for me…I don’t look back, I lengthen my stride, and I run straight toward the goal to win the prize that God’s heavenly call offers in Christ Jesus. In order to finish strong you must: Maintain your direction, your discipline, your faith, and Anticipate your reward.

We all have limitations in life. A sign of maturity is to recognize our limitations and rise above them by making a choice to change. It starts with trusting God, seeking His wisdom, and committing ourselves to the dreams he's put in our heart.

To lift people to another level, a leader must be secure in who they are, and live generously with what they have been given. It starts with a desire to keep climbing and growing…and then caring enough to take others up! This week's message focuses on 7 points on how we as leaders, can lift people to a higher level.

God uses the challenges of life to test our character and spiritual commitment. These are opportunities to prove our potential to lead. None of us want to be tested, but every leader will be tested. The Bible is full of examples and makes it clear that we will be tested.

In this message we will reflect on Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death on the cross and celebrate His resurrection as Lord of Lords. A Ransom had to be paid for our great debt of sin and Jesus paid the highest price so that we could intimately know God the Father.

As we watch the evening news and read the paper we may feel that the world is out of control. Perhaps even our lives feel out of control. But despite what we might see God has a master plan. By understanding the special day that Jesus was resurrected on, we can have faith to trust Him with our future.
