What’s your “origin story”? How did you find Jesus? In his message today, Pastor Jimmy encourages us to share our origin story with someone, but also to realize that God has a plan for your future.

Did you know you have a superpower? If you believe in Jesus, you've got a superpower from God. Pastor Jimmy teaches us, today, that God gives us His power to do things beyond our abilities.

What comes to mind when you think about a mission trip? Probably going to help the poor.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish?” Well, this phrase plays true when it comes to how you walk out your spiritual life. It’s so important to finish the race with God. You can be a believer your whole life, but if you decide to walk away from God at the last minute, you’ve given up everything you’ve sacrificed and worked for. In today’s message, Pastor Jim...

Imagine you were being held captive and you had two choices. You could profess your faith as being a Christian and die, or you could choose to stay silent and live. Which would you choose? If you are truly a follower of Christ, you should choose to die. Seems harsh right? But that’s what Jesus did for you! He died so that you could have eternal life. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy is going to en...

When you explain, boldly and courageously, what Jesus has done in your life, people are often intrigued.  It’s a great place to start telling others about Jesus and the way to salvation.  But, it’s so important to go one step further, Pastor Jimmy encourages you today.  After proclaiming the name of Jesus, invite them to respond.   Ask them if they’d like to put their faith in Jesus.  Invite them...

There’s a strategy that some Christians use to try to convince others to believe in Jesus - they hate them because of their sin and convince them they’re going to hell unless they believe.  Well, today, Pastor Jimmy will encourage you to try a different way.  Instead of showing hatred and condemnation, show unbelievers love, kindness, and hope.  When you meet someone in their sin and shame, and of...

In this world, you’ll face trouble as a believer, the bible declares.  Every culture resists the truth of God’s words and those who stand for it.  And for the church to survive and thrive its people need to be willing to stand firm in faith and resist the sway of culture Pastor Jimmy explains today.  It’s easier to go with the culture, it’s much harder to go against it and obey Jesus.  Because whe...

Governments, cultural movements, and religious groups have all tried for centuries to stamp out the Christian movement.  And no matter how hard anyone tries to destroy Christianity, they can’t.  Today, Pastor Jimmy will explain how the small, early church has lasted and grown through the ages.  One of the most fundamental and important things that has helped the church to stand is its belief and t...

Salvation is not based on what you do at all. What you do will be influenced by your salvation - not the other way around. This has been an area of controversy since early on in the Church. Jewish Christians assumed that following the law was as important as believing in Jesus, and tried to push that on the Gentiles, but the Holy Spirit revealed a different truth. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy...

In our world, there’s heavy pressure to just stay silent as Christians. Our media and culture sneer at us and act like we’re crazy to believe what we believe. We want to show grace as we encounter this oppression, but we also know that we’ve encountered a truth that needs to be shared. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy will explore the balance of truth and grace - they go hand in hand with each oth...

Have you been hurt by the Church or a person in the Church? That can be hard to bounce back from. This group of believers represents Jesus , but all too often, we don’t look anything like Him in how we treat people. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy will point out that those feelings are completely valid. We’re a flawed representation of Jesus. Like an amateur musician trying to play a masterpiece,...

Jesus is radically inclusive. Throughout the Gospel accounts we see that demonstrated in how He treated the sinners and outcasts He encountered. Did He approve of their actions? Did He approve of Judas and the role he would play in his life? He knew that Judas’ would be used in the plan of salvation, but He didn’t approve of his sin. Yet, He called him to follow Him and He included him at his tabl...

When Jesus arrived on earth, His sole mission was to serve the people. God has called you to a missi...

In our daily lives, we enjoy making excuses. As laziness takes hold of us, we begin to make excuses to avoid any work that is assigned to us. Even if you are a believer, when God calls you to a mission, you may begin to make excuses to Him, telling Him about things or qualities you lack for the job. Pastor Jimmy explains in today's message, how you can serve God with what you have. You may be...

If you’re trying to help someone who’s drowning, you can’t let them keep hanging on to the heavy weight that’s pulling them under. The deception of our enemy has led many to believe that we need to tolerate sin in order to save the lost. As Pastor Jimmy will clarify in today’s message, this is counterproductive. Sin is the very thing that people need to be saved from, and if we aren’t willing to c...

When we experience blessings in this life, it can be easy to look heavenwards with gratitude and praise Jesus as our Lord and Savior. At that moment, you feel hope and joy in an overwhelming way. But, as Pastor Jimmy will challenge us to ask in today’s message, what about when things are down? Is He your King in those moments? Will you submit to Him even when it seems like it’s costing you more th...
