How important is obedience to God?  How does He look at such things?  We could speculate and share our opinions on such things but the best thing we can do is look to the Bible for answers.  In this message we look at the life of Saul in the Old Testament to learn valuable lessons about obeying God at all times.  Listen in to be encouraged in walking out life in such a way that God is pleased.

It is way too easy to look at someone else and think that what they seem to be so good at just comes naturally or is easy for them.  We often think the same things about someone who has stong walk with God and strong faith.  The reality is that strong relationship with God and strong faith come through a process.  In this message we will take a look at some key doctrines of the Christian faith iin...

Have you ever wondered why we have church?  How about all the things we do at church?  Too often as churches we cling to our traditions to the point where we defend them as God ordained.  In this message we look at the first few chapters of Acts to see some principles of church.  Listen in and be challenged with the question of why we do what we do and what does God have to say about chruch.

Have you ever encountered and obstacle that threatened to keep you from accomplishing an important goal or dream?  Too many obstacles and we can be overwhelmed and even give up dreaming or believing that we will ever accomplish anything worthwhile.  There is good news.  God saw that this would be the case and gave us valuable advice on how to overcome obstacles that stand in our way.  Listen in an...

What would it be like to hear one of the most influential people in history's final address?  We would be drawn to such a speech looking for insights and nuggets of wisdom.  Well, we have such an address found in Deuteronomy in the Bible.  There we find recorded Moses' address to the people he had been leading for 40 years.  He was aware that his time was short and that he would not be w...

There are many commands, warnings, and directions given by God in the Bible.  It is easy to think that He did this for Himself.  The reality is that He gave these directions, commands, and warnings for our good.  He knows us better than we know ourselves.  He knows what our hearts long for.  He also knows how our longings and desires can be truly satisfied.  So, He went to great lengths to communi...

Moses - possibly the greatest leader in history.  Yet, he admits that the burden of the people he was leading was more than he could handle alone.  He cried out to God for help in carrying the burden of leadership and God saw fit to bring others alongside to help him.  The same is true today in our churches.  Pastors and spiritual leaders were never meant to carry the burden of the people they lea...

We are all in a race.  It is a  spiritual race that has been laid out for us.  We are instructed to run this race to win.  This requires us to make choices that effect how successful we are in our race.  In this message we will take a look at some advice from the Bible as to how we can indeed run this race to win.

How often do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed with life, reacting to your life as it passes by rather than living it?  Do you ever wonder if you will make it?  We live in an age where pressure and stress are on the rise and we seem to be helpless to stop it.  In reality, as humans, we are largely helpless to put an end to the chaos of life.  There is good news however.  The Psalmist states: ...

Motherhood comes with great joy and great purpose.  It is however a major sacrifice.  Mothers give up an awful lot for the benefit of their children.  Mothers carry their children for their whole life.  Being a mother can stretch a woman to her limits.  The good news is that God has called mothers to a high call and to great responsibility and where He calls He also equips.  In this message you wi...

What would it be like to take a trip to a place you have never been before.  Not necessarily a big deal is it?  How about taking a trip to a place you have never been before without knowing how to get there and having no map, no GPS, no one to give you directions, no marked roads, or road signs?  Sounds impossible doesn't it.  Well, the reality is that as humans navigating this life, this is...

We all face situations and circumstances in life that cause pain, discouragement, and even depression.  Such life events test us like nothing else can raising questions about God - is He real, does He care, does He hear my prayers, and others like these.  This message takes a look at such situations and contains encouragement and advice when we find ourselves facing such events.  Listen in and be...

Have you ever wondered why the law is recorded in the Bible with such intricate detail and repetition?  Have you ever made the attempt to read through the Bible only to get bogged down in the law.  This message is for you.  We are going to look at the significance of sacrifices and offerings through the lense of the New Testament and the new covenant through Jesus Christ.  As we do this we will se...

Who would you like to talk with that you think would have good advice or have valuable nuggets of truth from their life experiences?  What famous person's diary do wish you could get a copy of?  The Psalms contain such information from David.  David, who was quite familiar with all that life can throw at a person - both good and bad.  David offers us valuable insights and advice if we will li...

Do you ever wonder if a relationship with God really makes a difference?  Does it make a difference that others around us notice?  In this message we see that as we walk in relationship with God and spend time in His presence, it does indeed have a profound effect on us and is noticeable by others around us.  Listen in as we look at how Moses' face shone with the glory of God as a result of h...

The most popular verse in the Bible:  John 3:16.  The pitfall of looking at a verse that is so popular is that we can easily shut down with the idea that "we already know that".  In this message we take a closer look at this famous verse and the verses that come after it, looking for fresh insights into what God is saying through them.  The main them is that God loves.  We will never rea...

What are you afraid of?  We are not talking about things like sharks or tornadoes or snakes.  What is it that you face in life that scares you?  What do you encounter that terrifies you?  This message is for you!  God recognizes that there are many things in life that grip us with fear and He has a plan to deliver us from them.  Listen in to receive encouragement from how God delivered His people...

Have you ever gotten to the "end of your rope"?  How about to the end of yourself?  We these phrases and others like them when life has gotten so overwhelming that there is nothing more we can do to "fix" the situation we find ourselves in.  There is good news today!  When we walk in relationship with God on a regular basis, coming to the end of ourselves or the end of our rope...

We consider the final words of someone as very important.  What about the final words of Jesus?  These words contain instruction and encouragement.  In this message we will take a look at Jesus' final words as recorded in the Book of Mark.

As humans we often fail to see the "big picture".  We easily get caught up in the here and now.  We hyper focus on what is right in front of us whether it be a relationship, a circumstance, or an event.  Another thing we often miss is the process that occurred to bring a person to a specific place.  Again we get focused on where they are or where we are that we fail to recognize that the...

Unanswered prayers, unfulfilled dreams, and God's promises yet to be seen... These things often bring pain, disillusionment, frustration, loss of hope,  and even doubts about God.  In reality, if we find ourselves in such a place we are in the company of some of the most prominent heroes of the faith in the Bible.  In this message we will look at one of those heroes, Abraham, and see what lif...
