Discovering God's Will for Your Life often requires stepping outside your comfort zone, it sometimes requires stepping outside your doorstep.  This Sunday, Pastor Jay is joined by other members of recent mission trips and they provide an amazing accounting of what God is doing on multiple continents at the same time.  Take a moment to listen in on how God definitely has plans for each of us.

This Sunday we were honored to have Pastor Melanie Wilke as our guest speaker.  As the Grace Church Outreach Director, and the Pastor of Weller Community Church, she has a word that she brought just for us.

"If you want God's will, you have to be open to God's will."  In part 3 of Discovering God's Will for Your Life, Pastor Jay explores what it means to spend time with the Lord and provides a simple option to incorporate more of what He wants into your daily life.

How often do people ask you for advise?  How often do you ask others for advise?  Have you ever received bad advise, but didn't realize it at the time? In part 2 of our series "Discovering God's Will for Your Life" Pastor Jay brings to light a thought that we all think of when we consider sharing difficult situations with others...how do I give wise/receive wise counsel?

In this all new series, we are seeking to Discover God's Will for our Lives.  To accomplish this we have to take the first step: be still.

Continuing our look at Samson, we finally come to the end where he finally realizes through humility God's amazing grace. Pastor Jay shows us how this is evident not only for Samson, but for us as well.

Continuing our look into Samson in Judges Chapter 15, we learn that Samson often isn't all that different from us. Not only does he have an difficulties with revenge, but also with pride. Pastor Jay helps us to see this perspective that God has for us and helps us to 1) Remember what we are; 2) Remember why we are here; and 3) Remember who we were created to worship and serve.

The bible often talks about revenge. This week, Pastor Jay takes a look at how revenge played into the story of Samson in chapter 15; and more importantly he discusses how it didn't serve Samson well and will not ever be something useful to us.

Continuing our discussion on Samson within our series "Broken Heroes," Pastor Jay brings three specific things to light that we all suffer from and more importantly he reminds us how God can free us from these burdens.

Our very own, Carey Higgins takes the stage and shares with us a different perspective of Samson as he placed his hands on the pillars in the book of Judges. Listen in to see what God has to teach you through this message.

This weekend Pastor Jay put a pause on our series "Broken Heroes" to deliver a message that God has placed on his heart for the church. At the heart of this message is a question for all of us to consider...are we building something that will last?

Often times when we don't get what we think is the best for our lives, we try many different things to "manipulate" God or "convince" Him. in this addition to our series Judges, Broken Heroes, Pastor Jay discusses Manoah and reminds us that we have to receive rather than strive for what God wants us to become.

As Pastor Jay starts the discussion of Samson, this first installment discusses living within God's limits and how often we can "trample a fence" or hurt someone unintentionally. But we can rejoice in the mercy and grace of a forgiving God.

One of the more daunting tasks the bible asks us to do is to pray for our enemies. It's not something that can be accomplished easily. In this Sunday service, Pastor Jay discusses this very real issue with us and helps reminds us that despite the hurt, fear, or worry, it is possible.

"I don't know why the Lord up with my games, but I'm so glad He did." Gideon was called to do a mighty work, but the Lord knew that he would have to make some adjustments in his thinking.

In the second part of our discussion on Gideon, Pastor Jay continues to focus on things that affect us still in this day and age.

Gideon reflects so many of us who have to be sure that God is calling us to do a mighty work. In this first part of discussion on Gideon, Pastor Jay focuses on five specific things in Judges chapter 6 that we do even now.

Pastor Jay continues in Judges chapter 4 & 5 this week and discusses a few other names and how they connect to God delivering his people a land that is "flowing with milk and honey."

As we start our new series on Judges, Pastor Jay gives us a quick overview of the book and discusses how, no matter what, God is working in our lives.

In part 2 of our series on the book of Judges, Pastor Jay takes some time to review a few characteristics of the Judges and how that relates to Dad's on Father's Day.

In this episode, Pastor Jay takes some time to discuss Deborah and the important role she played as a judge of Israel. He also discusses the lies the enemy tells women in ministry and how they do indeed have a very important role in God's eyes.

Our NextGen leader, Pastor Hannah Vale, takes the stage this Sunday and talks with us about what is important in our lives as she discusses Matthew Chapter 6.

Pentecost was the gift of the Holy Spirit. However, often times this begs the question, what happened after Pentecost? Our very own, Carey Higgins, brings this question to the surface and helps us to understand how the early church began with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Pentecost Sunday is an important Sunday for all Christians and Pastor Jay takes some time to help us understand why it's important.

Pastor Jay shares with us a special Mother's Day message.
