Jesus was born so that He could sacrifice Himself for us. God came to earth so you could truly know peace.

In the past, now, and into the future, God is with you. Jesus became human to prove it. Do you see Him in your life?

Who is God to you? To a rejected woman, "the God who sees me." (Gen. 16) He sees you, your life, and everything else.

Jehovah... Jirah, the provider. Nissi, my banner, my identity. Raah, my shepherd. Rapha, who heals. Shammah, who is there.   Note: We started the recording late this morning. Pastor Michael had already read Genesis 22, the story of God testing Abraham's faith.

By giving us His name - YHWH, the Great I AM - God invites us into relationship.

God describes Himself as Adonai: Lord and Master. The truth is, He has given us any rights we have, offensive though it may seem.

In one Hebrew word, we see God as the supreme power, the ultimate being, and the Trinity. Is that how you worship Him? Note: The recording unexpectedly quit in the middle of Pastor Michael's last point.  Our apologies for the abrupt end.

Offering everything she had, the widow (Mk. 12) made a quiet statement. What statement are you making with what you've been given?

Today we celebrate the surest sign of God's love for us: Jesus' death on the cross.

You're writing your autobiography every day. Is it worth reading? What's past is merely prologue. What will the epilogue be?

Our flaws don't keep God from loving us. He made us in His own image. He paid for the brokenness that tarnished it. You're special.

We dedicate kids to God, hoping they'll choose Him. Baptism is a declaration of faith, symbolizing rebirth, purity, and anointing.

Sins are like allergies. Their effects may be subtle or intense, but they all drain our vitality. Avoid your spiritual allergens.

You will never know who you touch until you touch who you know. You are God's investment where you are.

Be where the problems are.  And when you are, be part of the solution.

The church has two missions: go and teach.  Jesus called us to make a difference in our local community.

Ken and Dawn Bishop shared stories from their mission in Albania. God is working through them to spread the Gospel to the world.

Remember who God is, how He works, and what He's done, and you will find hope.  Remind one another with stories from your own lives.  Because of God's goodness, you can have hope in the future, yourself, and those around you.

We are only camping on Earth. Heaven is our home. Engage in the adventure here, but remember: we won't be here forever.

There's an art to growth. Manage it to grow well. Recognize your past and what needs to change. Then, step forward. (1 Cor. 13:11)

God chose us. Out of love, He gives us freedom to choose Him. And He gives us a chance to lead others to Him by our choices.

Christians are meant to be Humanity 2.0. We are called and enabled to have a better connection to God, and display Him more clearly.

God is the idealized father. He's present with us. He protects us. He sacrifices for us - His pride, His life. He truly loves us.

The Gideons do more than pass out Bibles: they introduce people to Jesus. We heard amazing stories of their ministry this morning.

The local church was meant to be an embassy. It is not only to represent Heaven, but be God's base of operations in the community.
