Is it possible to find true peace? Is it possible to really be secure? Life is complex. You constantly face uncomfortable situations that rob you of peace and security: relationships that drain the life out of you, a job you find no purpose in, responsibilities you carry every day and see no hope of change. Isaiah 30:1-15 describes people who faced similar challenges. In the midst of confusion, th...

This weekend we welcome the Horizon Music Festival to our community. This has been a labor of love for the team putting it all together. I am thrilled to have an event like this in our community. There are many believers in positions of influence in our valley and with these positions come the ability to make an impact for Jesus. This festival is a great opportunity to introduce many to "Jesus Mus...

We have a choice to make when troubles come our way. We can take control and try to fix things ourselves or we can turn to Jesus. When conflict, trials, and persecution come our way we need the necessary tools to help us through these storms. Jesus is the calm in the storm, and he tells us to take heart, I have overcome the world! In this passage, Jesus does not say "if we have trouble," He says,...

This weekend we continue in our series called HEALTHY HEARTS with a sermon called, How To Win A Fight. You may be surprised to find that the Bible gives us instructions on how to fight. We wish that it never happened but because of our sin natures we do hurt each other. This hurt needs to be dealt with if we are to maintain healthy hearts. We are given instructions in Matthew 18 of how to deal wit...

This weekend we continue in our series called HEALTHY HEARTS with a message out of Matthew 5 & 6. Jesus addressed the condition of our hearts and exposed the brokenness we walk in as humans. We need the healing power of God applied to our lives on a daily basis. If we don't admit we are broken and sick spiritually we will not go to God to get the healing we need. If we are to have healthy hearts w...

This weekend we continue in our series called, HEALTHY HEARTS - Experience the God who heals us. From time to time it’s a good idea to have a heart check up. Our hearts require maintenance just like our bodies do. I’m wondering as your pastor, how is your heart? The Bible speaks a great deal about the condition of our hearts. Proverbs 4:23 says this, “Guard your heart above all else, for it determ...

Is your heart healthy? In August we will address that question in a series call; “Healthy Hearts - Experience the God who Heals us” In this series we will open the Bible to a number of different passages that deal with issues that affect our hearts. The Bible tells us the importance of addressing the the health of our hearts because it is from the heart that all things come. “Guard your heart abov...

This weekend we conclude our series called CHRISTIANITY OVER CULTURE with chapter 15 of 1 Corinthians. This series has been helpful in teaching us how to be influenced more by Jesus culture than the culture around us. Jesus wants us to grow and mature to look more like His children. This final message is an encouraging look at the hope we have for eternity. Our salvation will be complete when we a...

This weekend we continue in our series called CHRISTIANITY OVER CULTURE. In this series we are studying our way through the book of 1 Corinthians. This weekend we will look at one of the more famous chapters in the Bible which is 1 Corinthians 13. It is famously called the love chapter because it presents the most excellent way to live as followers of Christ. To become a follower of Jesus is to be...

This weekend we continue in our series called CHRISTIANITY OVER CULTURE. This series is a study through the book of 1 Corinthians. The truth is that the culture in the first century city of Corinth closely mirrors our current culture today. These new believers in Corinth were struggling to grow and mature spiritually, to become a church that represented Jesus' culture and not the world around them...

This weekend we continue in our series called Christianity Over Culture. The Bible is full of timeless truth. Even the most obscure texts of the Bible can bring life changing truth. That is true as we dive into 1 Corinthians chapter 11. Come learn about God’s design for marriage, sexuality, and how to accurately celebrate our salvation. For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.c...

This weekend we continue in our series called Christianity Over Culture. Have you ever heard that history repeats itself? As we dive into 1 Corinthians chapter 10, we’ll find that the Bible also repeats itself. Scripture is full of examples of good and bad that have repeated through the ages. Gods character never changes and the heart of man’s biggest struggles never change. Come join us and learn...

This weekend we continue in our series called CHRISTIANITY OVER CULTURE. We are working our way through the book of 1 Corinthians. This letter written to the church in Corinth around 55 AD is filled with practical insight for us. Our lives are not unlike those of these first century followers of Jesus. They lived with similar temptations and distractions as we do. They were struggling to be influe...

This weekend we take a break from our series in 1 Corinthians to celebrate our VBS kids and workers. The focus this week has been on the Armor of God from Ephesians 6. This Sunday our service will be at Trails West camp and the service will be focused on what the kids have learned this week. The sermon will be from Ephesians 6 which teaches us that as followers of Jesus we are in a spiritual battl...

This weekend we continue in our series called CHRISTIANITY OVER CULTURE, a study through the book of 1 Corinthians. In chapter 8 we will learn the supremacy of Love over Knowledge. Knowledge is valuable and matters a great deal in regards to our success as followers of Jesus. Knowledge fuels us as we desire the mind of Christ in order to live out our faith as God desires. As this epistle makes cle...

This weekend we continue in our series called CHRISTIANITY OVER CULTURE. When we place our trust in Jesus we are called into a different culture. We find that by following Jesus we are exposed to God's original design for our lives. He created this universe and so he alone knows how to live this life to the fullest. Due to our sin nature we are engaged a battle once we trust in Jesus. He calls us...

This weekend we continue in our series called CHRISTIANITY OVER CULTURE. We are working our way through the book of 1 Corinthians. This week we will see that though God cares about our souls, our hearts, and our minds, the truth is he cares about our bodies too. What we do with our physical bodies matters to God and so this week we focus on that truth. We have physical appetites and the truth is w...

Mothers Day is a day we set aside to honor our Mothers. Mothers are so important and fill such a crucial role in our lives. God created mothers to nurture us and train us to follow God. This weekend join us for a special service focused on Honoring our Mothers. In the Ten Commandments God instructs us to honor our father and mother. The truth is that honoring our parents is crucial to our success...

This weekend we continue in our series called CHRISTIANITY OVER CULTURE. In this series we are learning what the Bible says regarding the culture we are to be influenced by. Not the culture around us but by the culture Jesus is creating. Jesus calls us to live differently than the world around us. We are called to be different and this difference is for the better. This week we learn how we are to...

This weekend we continue in our series called CHRISTIANITY OVER CULTURE. As followers of Jesus we are called to live for Jesus and not the culture of the world we live in. Our culture will say things are ok that Jesus says are not. We must live up to the standard Jesus calls us to not the standard of the world we live in. In 1 Corinthians 5 we encounter an issue of sexual immorality that was being...

This weekend we continue in our series called "CHRISTIANITY OVER CULTURE". In this series we are studying the first letter to the church in Corinth. This letter addresses many of the issues we face in our US American culture. Like the Corinthians we are affluent and driven and so have some of the same struggles they had. This week we will learn about the view we should have towards spiritual leade...

We are not the first generation of Christian’s that have been tempted to be overcome and influenced by culture, in fact this has been happening since Christianity started. Come join us as we study the book of 1st Corinthians and see how their culture was not much different than ours and see how we can overcome in Christ. For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/490585...

Our Easter Service message will be drawn from John 20 where we encounter 4 different types of responses to the Resurrection of Jesus. On Sunday morning Mary Magdalene is the first to encounter the empty tomb. Her response is anxious and worried believing Jesus' body had been stolen. She runs to tell Peter and John who race to the empty tomb and upon seeing the evidence, believe that Jesus rose, be...
