We continue in the book of John seeing that Jesus prayed for unity in the body of Christ and what we need to do and how we need to change to acheive that unity.

In the book of Romans we see how we need to invest our time and our heart for people to see their need of the Lord.

God calls us to generousity in more than just our finances. He also wants us to be generous with our time and our abilities. We also see how He rewards us for our generousity.

Today, we see from what Pastor Dave learned while he was at school what we are doing right and what he learned we need to improve on to be better disciples and disciple makers.

We see today that even the average church family has an important ministry in the body of Christ and that even in difficult places, we can be used of God.

As we finish our series on the Building Blocks of Righteousness, we look at the last two characteristics we need as we grow towards godly maturity.

As we continue our series on thinking Godly and what it takes to build righteousness in our lives, we look at how our behavior shows how we are thinking

God commands Christians to use the power He has placed within us to develop the life He has put within us.

As we continue in our series on the Building Blocks of Righteousness, we see how one of the keys to godly maturity is to have our life focused on bringing God glory.

We are disappointed in life in many different ways, but God does not disappoint. If He promises to do something, He will follow through. We will look today at some of the things we can rely on that He has promised to do for us

Just like a house or a fence, a person's life needs a good foundation. As we continue this series, we see that the only sure foundation is a life in Christ based on the Word of God.

As we start on the concept of the Building Blocks of Righteousness, we see that the foundation is built on the Word of God and the understanding we get from the Holy Spirit.

Guest Speaker Jason Nightingale speaks to us I John

To worry is to have your thoughts pulled in too many directions. To be free of worry, we need to think rightly about God and about ourselves.

Motors rely on clean oil to run smoothly. Without it, they can have catastrophic failures. The same is true of our spiritual lives. If our thinking is not right, that can also have catastrophic problems, if we think wrongly about God.

In our bodies, one little pain can be an indication about something that, if ignored, can cause a serious problem. The same is true in our spiritual lives and we will see how that is true about how we think about the trials in our lives.

How you respond to what goes on around you is based on your thoughts. We need to slow down (put the brakes on our thoughts) and filter our thoughts throught God's Word before we respond.

Brainwashing is done by repitition, and that is true in your spiritual life also. It takes thoughtful, planned choices, made over and over again, to change the way we think and act.

In this second in the series titled, "Are You Out of Your Mind?" we see that we need the mind of Christ.

Today we look at how a Christian ought to think. The world thinks natural thoughts, but the Christian ought to have "the mind of Christ."

There are may different kinds of disciples, ones that follow to see what they can get and those who are serious about following their leader and becoming more like him. Today we look at selected passages to see what kind of disciples we should be.

We have seen some amazing transformations, but the most amazing is seen in John and other passages in the lives of the desciples before and after the resurrection

It is a blessing to have well qualified people caring for us. It is especially a blessing to have Christ caring for us. An example is Jesus' prayer in John 17. We see here what His desires are for us and how God is empowering us to accomplish them.

The Devil is like a computer virus that is just waiting to attack. Today we look at Jesus' prayer in John 17 and see how He prays for us to be protected from those attacks.

Today in John 17, we get a close look at how Jesus prays for us. And so, how we should also pray.
