Why is it that you've LOVED some of the jobs you've had while you've HATED others? In this message, Max Vanderpool outlines the three necessary ingredients for job satisfaction. Missing any one of them and, chances are, you hate your job or are looking for another job. The good news is that it doesn't have to be that way!

One of the biggest questions that gets asked about the Bible has to do with the interplay between science and the Bible. Namely, doesn't science disprove the Bible, or at the very least, the creation story? In this message, Max Vanderpool, lays out what Genesis 1 asserts and doesn't assert about creation. More importantly, he puts to rest the idea that science and the Bible are somehow in conflict...

We're told to buck authority. To question authority. And so we do. As Americans, we want to live our lives the way we want, how we want, with whomever we want...without outside interference. We LOVE freedom. But our gut reaction to authority may actually lead us to the very places we most want to avoid. In this message, Max Vanderpool talks about the doctrine of biblical authority and why it pays...

We live in a culture that wants to affirm all religions are basically the same and that everybody's basically good (once you get to know them). All that good will and hand-holding, however, is thrown out the window when you bring up the Bible. That's because a LOT of people want to dismiss the Bible from the conversation. In this message, Max Vanderpool tackles the issue of the credibility of the...

There are two words that everyone has rattle in their head at some point or another: I can't. Those two words can take you to some very dark places, but those two words aren't the whole picture. There's MORE. In this message, Max Vanderpool tackles the I Can't Monster and why you can trust God to do more than you thought possible.

Why talk about dads and the fatherhood of God at Christmas? Because (1) you're already thinking about it. Face it, there's nothing like the holidays in America to shine a bright spotlight on your family life, the good and the bad and (2) that baby born in Bethlehem some 2,000 years ago wasn't just any baby. That baby was God's SON. In this message, Max Vanderpool introduces our Advent series for 2...

Life is full what the insurance industry calls unplanned events. And these unplanned events often carry a price tag. In this message, Max Vanderpool summarizes what the Bible teaches about saving (money). It can reduced to four words.

Fear and faith are like twins who were separated at birth. Both (fear and faith) have to do with the future. And both have to do with uncertainty. But fear has the potential to rob you of opportunities for God to do amazing things. In this message, Max Vanderpool (along with help from Mike LaSage, Sarah Crum & Bill Brown) share why you can count on God...when it counts.

Ebeneezer Scrooge. Warren Buffet. Jesus. They all had something in common. They all figured out something about money that, all too often, many people don't. In this message, Max Vanderpool dares you to do a simple math equation and ask one question.

There's something Warren Buffet and Sam Walton had in common. In fact, it's something many millionaires and extraordinarily wealthy Americans do on a regular basis. In this message, Max Vanderpool shares a Biblical principle about money that can help you have extra, that can give you margin and that can help you become financially secure down the road.

Despite how you sometimes feel, God is not only WITH you, he's FOR you.

Remember opening your first paycheck? Federal taxes, state taxes, Social Security, Medicare and MORE was taken out. If you've ever struggled financially or opened a bill and groaned, this series is for YOU. In this message, Max Vanderpool introduces the first Biblical principle of By-Passing the New Normal and the first practical step toward financial security.

You have a friend who has remarried and just had a baby. But they're wigging out over all of it - and convinced that they are going to fail again. And all that fear is being moderated with alcohol...so much so that they are missing work because they're too drunk to come in. In a moment of honest they ask you if you believe they are messing up their life? What do you say to them? In this message, M...

This message is primarily for insiders, people who are born again and follow Jesus Christ. In it, Max Vanderpool encourages us to step back from (evangelistic) methods that are contrived and artificial and (instead) embrace methods that are authentic and relational. There's no better way to do that than to ask (lots of) questions.

For those of us who grew up in the church (and are over the age of 35), we associate evangelism and sharing our faith with things like tracts, the Four Spiritual Laws and crusades. But what if sharing your faith is more about making a real friend than making sure they understand all the rights things? What if building trust is what leads them to want to trust Jesus? In this message, Brian Hull sho...

What do you do when you want something really bad? When an opportunity presents itself? What if, from your perspective, you need to fudge, tweak or disregard God's laws and God's ways to win? In this message, Max Vanderpool highlights the one thing you DON'T want to do in that situation.

A lot of people are paralyzed by fear. Fear of heights. Fear of being alone. Fear of failure. Fear of growing old. Fear of losing their health or someone that matters to them. It's as though fear has a corner on the market. But fear doesn't have to have the final word. In this message, Max Vanderpool shares what can happen when you trust God (even though you're afraid)...and how God can use YOU to...

The next time you face a lion, bear or giant, your looks and appearance won't matter. Neither will your talents or strengths. Nor will any of the things we tend to rely upon. Killing a giant (and living to tell about it) starts inside, long before you ever see it coming. In this message, Max Vanderpool shares what it is and how to position yourself to win over the next big thing in life.

You ask a friend how church was on Sunday and they tell you that worship was off the hook. And then they proceed to talk about the amazing new bass player and how they were just really into it on Sunday and how you missed a great worship set. We tend to talk about worship in terms of the musical portion of a worship service. But is that what worship is all about? In this message, Max Vanderpool pe...

In your family, when important things don't get done, it creates a problem and people get upset. When the trash or dishes pile up. When the bills are left unpaid. When someone is left standing at the soccer field waiting to be picked up (for over 2 hours). It's the SAME way in your church family, which is why EVERYONE is important and EVERYONE is needed.

Angel Kochera shares about her missions trip to Lithuania and how God can use bad things for good.

In this Q&A testimony time, Nate Davis shares about his trip to Columbia and how God can use literacy to impact people.

Chances are you know someone who has been hurt by the church. Or the University of Kentucky. Or the West Jessamine Band program. Or (you get the idea). In this message, Max Vanderpool outlines what goes wrong when we blame a faceless organization for hurts and offenses and what to do about it.

There's a simple emotional formula when it comes to criticism: 1 insult + 1,000 compliments = 1 insult. In this message, Max Vanderpool lays out a strategy for how to deflect criticism and see yourself the way God sees you.

Everyone has an inner voice in their head and heart...a voice that is talking to them ABOUT themselves. But most, if not all people struggle with the negative things their inner voice says. In this message, Max Vanderpool lays out a strategy to reset your inner voice.
