God created us to enjoy him and to enjoy each other. But our sinful hearts have erected dividing walls of tension and hostility that separate us from God and others. This is not what God wanted for his creation. In this message, we see that through Jesus, God tore down the walls that divide, and made peace between us and Him a reality.

What is the gospel and what is our response to the gospel? We'll see in Ephesians 2:1-10 that undeserving and helpless as I am, God's poured his grace on me like a flood.

After showing the riches the believer has in Christ (1:4-14),Paul prays for the believers in Ephesus. He asks that the Spirit of God might give spiritual understanding in three areas: 1. The Hope of God's Calling - Our hope has its foundation in our election - God's choosing us and calling us into a relationship with Him. Our future is not decided by fate or other gods, but by God who has predeter...

God is worthy of praise for who He is and all He has done. The heart of the unquenchable worshiper begins with a recognition of the spiritual blessings that belong to the Child of God. In this message, we see that we are blood-bought and have our salvation sealed. Let us give Him praise who alone is worthy, our Triune God!

We see in Ephesians 1:3-14 the work of the Trinity in the salvation of men: First, we see the Father Chose Believers in Eternity Past (1:3-6) Second, we see the Son Redeemed Believers in the Historical Past (1:7-12) Third, we see the Spirit Sealed Believers in their Personal Past (1:13-14) Today, we want to look the work of the Father in our salvation: 1. The Fact of Election Salvation begins with...

We can learn much from Nehemiah as we look to the coming year. When Nehemiah heard that the remnant in the Jerusalem area was in great trouble and shame, that the wall of Jerusalem was broken down, and its gates are destroyed by fire; he turned to God in prayer. We see in him an example to follow: First, we see in him a compassion for those in need (4). As soon as he received news of the bad condi...

The truly wonderful life is the life found in Jesus Christ.

The birth of Christ brought division wherever He went throughout his life. We see that in Matthew’s story of three different groups and their reaction to the Christ child: A. The Magi: They made great sacrifice traveling far at great expense to worship the Child born King of the Jews. They presented Him with expensive gifts. B. The Chief Priests and Scribes: They knew Scripture and were able to te...

Our desire is to move beyond the big screen and unpack the true meaning of Christmas. The Christmas story is about something far greater than little Ralphie’s Red Ryder BB Gun...but about the birth of Jesus. He came to "save His people from their sins."

This December, we will “Move Beyond the Big Screen” and unpack the true message of Christmas redeeming it from the twist and turns that have marred and mishandled what is at the heart of the Christmas story…the first 6 letters of the word “Christmas”…C-H-R-I-S-T…it is CHRIST!

Walking the path of repentance means a lifestyle of safe vulnerability by allowing the all-knowing God of the universe to actively search me, and test me, and lead me.

We have all been hurt. Trust is broken. Scripture is clear that we are to forgive. We can either choose forgiveness or bitterness. In the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, Christ shows us our need to forgive: A. Our forgiveness must be unlimited B. It must be modeled after God’s forgiveness of us. C. We must remember the dangers of not forgiving: 1. We will not be forgiven. 2. We open the door t...

Passing the Passion: The Heart of Paul

God is light

Each of us lives with regrets... Some of us never move to true repentance. In this passage we see the difference between worldly sorrow and godly sorrow. Godly sorrow leads to repentance, salvation and leaves no regret. Worldly sorrow leads to death and produces guilt, hopelessness, and despair. The evidences of repentance produces: a new desire to live a godly life disgust at their offensive life...

This message is a call to drink from the fountain of living water as we walk in the fear of the Lord. This is the walk of renewal, as God awakens His people to the realities of His holiness and His hatred toward sin as well as an awareness of their own personal rebellion and thus daily walk in repentance.

This passage opens with:“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time.” If we are to walk carefully, we must be pay attention to our walk and make the most of every opportunity. This exhortation is amplified by three contrasts, "not...but" : 1. not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time Our fast paced life is full of diversions which...

The Christian life is rightfully compared to a war where the believer daily battles against temptation from the flesh, the world, and the devil. As the battle wages on, the follower of Jesus must continue the fight remembering that they have a new life, a new mind, and a new hope.

This passage looks at the believer’s freedom in Christ. Earlier in the book of Galatians, Paul had confronted legalism as he warned against keeping the law. He then confronts the tendency of some to move toward licentiousness. Christian Freedom is not: 1. Freedom to indulge the flesh 2. Freedom to abuse my neighbor 3. Freedom to disregard the Law Rather is it is the 1. Freedom to Overcome the Sin...

The prayer behind this message is that you might hunger for God and for the Holy Spirit's leading in your life. Are you Hungry?

God has provided His Holy Spirit to intimately and permanently dwell in us and powerfully work through us to advance his Kingdom and see Christ exalted.

People were bringing their children to Jesus for a blessing, but the disciples rebuked them. They thought Jesus was too busy for the children. The truth is they did not place the same value on children that Jesus did. When Jesus saw what was happening, he was upset with his disciples. Jesus' response reminds the disciples (and us) that children are important to Him. He compares the simple, depende...

There is no one who is outside of God's reach. See what we can learn about ourselves and those we're trying to reach through the life of Saul.

When we perceive life to be insurmountable, impossible, overwhelming – our faith can prompt God to intervene, but according to His timetable and in the manner He chooses.

Jesus encounters a Demon-Possessed man whom we find out is not much different than you and I.
