This is the fourth piece in our discipleship game plan. We are going to be a community of disciples who lovingly serve others. How do we do serve others that give glory and honor to the real hero Jesus?

Our ability to teach hinges on our dedication to being a student. You can’t teach what you don’t know. Even Jesus was first and foremost a student. John 5:19, “…Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.” So how do we teach and train in the ways of Jesus? Find out in this episode of "Th...

Let's find out the next step on how to practice "Radical Hospitality" and learn from Jesus all we need to know on how to partner with God on making disciples, being a good friend, and helping move people from a place of unbelief to being fully formed in the image of Jesus.

What does Jesus' game plan look like? Jesus envisions people from every nation becoming citizens of the kingdom of God, and you are part of executing His mission! 2,000 years later His vision and mission still remain the same. He is calling all of us to make disciples of all nations. Buckle up and get ready!

How do you want to spend the next year? Next month? Next decade? Are there things in your life that you want to change or improve? Will you decide to choose faith over fear? God has so much he desires to share with us, but we may never experience it as long as we continue to act in fear. What will you decide?

We don’t go through hard times because God has abandoned us, failed us, or is angry at us. In life we are guaranteed that we are all going to face circumstances that discourage us, scare us, and disappoint us. How should we respond in those moments? Trust in God or give up?

Have you ever been in a situation where no good option was available? Where every possible outcome appeared to be one of doom? If you haven’t, you eventually will. So, what do you do when life seems impossible?

We want change now, but unfortunately, rarely does that happen. One thing you can trust is that God will be faithful to show you the sin that is holding you back from a full life.

Does our pride get in the way of an answered prayer? God won’t send challenges or blessings our way without equipping us. In fact, He has already been equipping you in ways you do not fully realize.

Things can change or things will never change? One of the many things we believe in is that prayer can change things. But, the question is how deeply do we believe? Change starts when you believe. Join us for part two!

How much power does your belief harness? Have you ever felt stuck and believed you can't do it? Or have you believed you can and you actually did it? Some say that is the beauty of starting a New Year, It gives us this restart button to start anew, to create new goals, and to believe again! This Sunday join us for the new series titled "The Power Of Belief." Find out why Belief is so importan...

Have you heard about the greatest gift given to humanity that exceeds all other gifts? This Sunday we are wrapping up our series The Christmas Story part 3 "The Indescribable Gift."

Will God interrupt your life? No question He will! Who knows when, where, or how, but nobody is free to live an uninterrupted life. The first question is “Will we recognize His voice?” Interruptions are not convenient, but each interruption is an opportunity to bring Christ to the people and places that need His light. Let's continue The Christmas Story part 2!

This is a wondrous and wonderful time of year. A time of year, unlike any other time. It is a time of anticipation and celebration, lights and ornaments, carols and parties, friends and family, giving and receiving, ugly sweaters and Santa hats, eggnog and mistletoe, and stories. There are so many great Christmas stories, but no other Christmas stories can come too close to the Christmas story on...

Do we pray for one another constantly, night and day? The evil one is constantly scheming to create division - in the physical family and the spiritual family - this is what Satan is all about. This Sunday find out the weapons we need to fight against the enemy, not only for ourselves but also for others. Join us for the final series on "We Are Family."

Every couple has one of those moments. Every honeymoon ends. It may be the first day of the actual honeymoon or six months after having said “I do”, but inevitably there is a moment when you realize that the person who stole your heart can hurt your heart. That the person you thought was perfect is really just perfectly imperfect.  This is just as true in the spiritual family as the physical....

The Holy Spirit expects the family of God to be a confessional community. If you are like me there is a big part of you that is ready to fold your arms and say, “I’m not doing it! Next sermon please.” Obviously, that is a choice you can make, but please know that confessing to one another is not a suggestion - it is an expectation. Ephesians 1: 7-8, “In him, we have redemption through his blood, t...

We are to accept one another free of reservation and judgment, but we must also be about helping one another grow into being the very best disciples of Jesus we can be. In the family of God, we must care about one another enough to help each other recognize and correct problem attitudes and behaviors before things actually blow up. We should care enough to coach each other up! To reach one's full...

“Accept one another…” If there is one place in the world where a person should not have to worry about being rejected it is in the family of God, but unfortunately, the church has been the place that far too many people have experienced some of their deepest wounds. Pain comes in a lot of different varieties, but of all the hurts one can experience rejection has to be one of the most unpleasant. I...

“Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body - whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free - and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so, the body is not made up of one part but of many.” 1 Corinthians 12:12-14. Each and every one of us has an important role to play in t...

How can we encourage others when we are discouraged? How can we encourage those who are hurting? To love like Jesus sometimes requires us to sacrifice in order to bless others. Join Shon Smith in this second episode of "We Are Family."

“A new command I give you: Love one another.  As I have loved you, so you must love another.”  Why is this particular “one another” most important? You know why? All of the other “one anothers” are simply practical expressions of love. Everything else we will discuss in this series will fall into place if we can just do this one thing (love one another) really well. Join us this Sun...

You are never more on mission with God then when you invest yourself in raising children who reflect the glory of God in this world!

Regardless of whether or not you agree with the decisions your adult child is making take every opportunity to express your love for them. This will be hard at times. There will be times when your gut reaction will be to criticize or condemn, because you can clearly see how their poor decisions are going to end. Try hard to swallow those negative words. Instead, choose to treat them as Christ did...

There are some jobs you will never be successful at if you have a yellow streak running down your back. It doesn’t matter how much knowledge or ability you possess you better have guts if you are going to apply to be a bull rider, trapeze artist, movie stunt man, x-game athlete. Those are gigs that cowards need not apply. Oh, here is one more that comes to mind - Parenting. I don’t care how many p...
