Send us Fan Mail Today's message is Part 2 of Luke’s record of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus has chosen his 12 disciples, teaching all about Kingdom character for those who trust and follow him! Kingdom people are wholly surrendered to Jesus and look deep inside their own hearts.

Send us Fan Mail In Luke 6 verse 12 and following we see Jesus praying all night before choosing the twelve disciples. By following Christ these men would be representing the Kingdom of God. In doing so, they were to exhibit "Kingdom Character." For us today Kingdom Character should be displayed through Christ-like love (Luke 6.27-29, 32-33, 35) and radical generosity (Luke 6.30-31, 34).

Send us Fan Mail Jesus was at a party for sinners. And it was just too much for the Pharisees that saw it play out. The way we avoid the wrong attitudes of the Pharisees is to see Jesus as bigger. 1) Jesus is bigger than rules (5.33-39) 2) Jesus is bigger than the Sabbath (6.1-5), and 3) Jesus is bigger than rituals (6.6-11) Rules are a good thing. They act as guard rails for our lives. If they he...

Send us Fan Mail Guest speaker, Pastor Ryan Ross, speaks on the story of when Jesus spoke to the rich man in Matthew 19. The rich man asked, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” When Jesus answered his question, the man went away sad, the Bible says, because "he had great possessions." In this message Ryan talks about three obstacles of faith, the first one being &qu...

Send us Fan Mail Jesus walked into a synagogue one day on the Sabbath and opened the scroll to Isaiah and read the words "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favo...

Send us Fan Mail Jesus wins! In this message on the temptation of Jesus Pastor Aaron gives us three compelling reasons for Christ's victory over Satan: 1) The power of the Spirit, 2) Jesus's knowledge of scripture, and 3) His surrender to the Father. Let us not be fooled by Satan's trickery. We too can fight against the enemy's schemes with our knowledge of scripture. And we ca...

We should also remember to appreciate the Good News of the Gospel.

Send us Fan Mail According to the Gospel of Luke chapter 2 there are seven reasons to be amazed by Jesus. Pastor Aaron brings these points out in today's message: Because... 1) He is bigger than the Law (vs. 22-24). 2) of the power of the Holy Spirit (vs. 25-27). 3) of the faithfulness of the Father (v. 29). 4) He brings salvation to the nations (vs. 30-32). 5) He brings the redemption of Isr...

Send us Fan Mail God knows all whom He has made in a deep and intimate way. The five main ideas of this message are: 1. God knows us deeply (vs. 1-6). 2. We cannot escape His knowledge of us (vs. 7-12). 3. God knows us because He made us (vs. 13-16). 4. His knowledge is wonderful (vs. 17-18). 5. A scene shift (vs. 19-22). Are we going to respond with fear that God knows us so intimately or with su...

Send us Fan Mail Psalm 51 gives us a picture of what "full repentance" looks like. This isn't just a flippant "I'm sorry," but a thorough confession of sin that came deep from the contrite heart of King David. Pastor Aaron gives us five aspects of David's confession, followed by telling us that there needs to be a balance between feeling as though we haven't...

Send us Fan Mail Psalm 124 is one of the Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120-134), which were meant to encourage meditation and remembrance. And in this Psalm we see God's God's 1. Past Help (vs. 1-5), 2. Present Help (vs. 6-7), and 3. Future Hope (v. 8). Remembering these three things should lead us to have full confidence in God and the things He has called us to.
