“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.” - Colossians 3:2-3 In part 3 of the Colossians teaching series, we take a look into the second half of the letter. Paul begins to outline practically how we live out a life of following Jesus. The Apostle Paul not only implores us to “take off” the sin that damages, but he also ch...

“For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And Jesus is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything Jesus might h...

Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” – Romans 12:2 There is a lot of bad information out there when it comes to marriage. Many people are going into marriage with a tainted view and unrealistic expectations. Also, we’ve seen a lot of unhealthy...

“He must become great; I must become less.” John 3:30 In a study, the number one regret of patients who were in hospice, that looked back on their life said, “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself and not the life others expected of me.” Another way to translate this is, I wish I would have lived more free than fake. There is a brevity to life because we don’t know when our life...

This is what he wanted to do, and it game him great pleasure.” Ephesians 1:5 Scotty continues in part four of the message series, “Focus on This.” The big idea behind this series is if we would focus our attention on a small number of habits. then that would make an enormous difference in our liv...

“One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When He finished, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray…’ He said to them, When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come…Give us each day our daily bread.'” Luke 11:1-3 Scotty continues in part three of the message series, “Focus on This.” The big idea behind this series is if we would focus our attention on...

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'” Matthew 4:4 Scotty continues in part two of our new message series, “Focus on This.” We become what we are focused on, and what we focus on becomes our future. What you feed thrives, and what you starve dies. Therefore, one area to focus on this year is feeding yourself from th...

“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14 We are kicking off the new year with a new series called, “Focus on This.” When the new year rolls around, we all begin to think about making changes, but where do you start?

“Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; you prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.” Luke 1:13-14 We are kicking off part two of our teaching series, Christmas at Jou...

“He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free,” – Luke 4:18b Jesus came to set the captives free. There is captivity that goes far beyond bars. What is our captivity? For most of us, it’s the lies that bind us not the ties that bind us. Our primary captivity is the lies we’ve come to believe about ourselves, and these are insid...

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” – Ephesians 2:8-10 The Bible is one big story. Even though it is a collection of 66 books written by 40 authors over the span of...

In part two of the MONEY TALKS teaching series, Pastor Scotty gives practical tools about how to give, save, and live with our money in the way God intends for us. Our money talks to us, and about us – and it is impossible to be financially bound and spiritually free.

So many of us have anxiety around our finances and our identity can...

As we wrapped up last week on what holiness should look like in our lives, this week we dive into the benefits of...

Holiness is not about perfection, it is about purpose. I am called to holiness because I have been set apart for a life that God has for me. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15-16 We are in part 2 of the teaching series, Chasing Holiness. A huge step in chasing holiness is developing habits of holiness. “The...

Holiness always produces humility because we realize ALL we do is a result of Gods grace & work in our life. “Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” – Matthew 11:28-29 It’s not uncommon that we often feel the weight of life. Sometimes this pressure we feel is of no fault of our own…but there are also times where the pressure we feel has been brought on b...

He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.” Psalm 40:2 NLT In part three of our teaching series, “You Asked For It,” this week’s topic is on depression.

Acts 16:10 We are wrapping up this series called Doors, and it’s all about discovering God’s will for your life.
