The last 2 years haven’t been how anyone would have really planned them, but God is still God! He still keeps promises, He still has plans for you and He still wants a better relationship with you. As we begin 2022, let's hope and expect something more from God. And a great way to do that is to put first things first. In today's message, we will look at the secrets to being successful putting pray...

As we come to the end of 2021, most of us will begin to think about how it went and how next year will be.  In this message, we will be challenged to think and pray about what we take with us into next year and what we want it to look like.

In this message, we will take a look at the Christmas story to rediscover the thrill of hope that it truly brings.

As Jesus is delivering this counter cultural way to live in His kingdom he just keeps dropping bombs. I wonder if anyone was like, can we get a break here Jesus, how about something easy? There are points where what Jesus is saying seems too hard or even impossible. We will all be tempted to point at others and say, they aren't doing all this, but then Jesus would probably smile at us and say, tha...

Most of us eat too much at Thanksgiving. We convince ourselves that we will eat better the next day, we will go to the gym or whatever we need to say to let us grab one more piece of pie, turkey, etc. Our excuses feel good, until we realize that our waist size has changed. Then we are faced with a decision, do we make size adjustments or life adjustments. In the sermon on the mount, Jesus presents...

When Jesus gave us an invitation to His kingdom, He also gave us a new way to live. In this message, Pastor Alex looks at the counter cultural way we are supposed to navigate our anger.

Last week, we started our sermon on the mount series and quickly discovered that this sermon would change everything. It changed everything for the people that heard it then and those of us that hear it now. Jesus gave us a new way not just to think, but to live. A counter cultural guide to kingdom living. In today’s message, Pastor Kevin looks at verses 4 and 5 and talks about how Jesus is offeri...

 Over the next month we are going to look at the sermon of all sermons. The sermon on the mount. It will serve as our counter cultural guide to kingdom living. In his most famous sermon he unveils what the kingdom really looks like. Jesus so beautifully turns righteousness and the kingdom of God upside down. The religious leaders at the time emphasized the external things, but Jesus emphasize...

This week in our Neighbors & Nations series, we have US missionary, Andy Estrella. He has given the last 14 years of his life to reaching college students at Missouri State University. In this message, we will hear stories of life change on the campus and be invited to take part in God's mission to reach the world around us.

Social media has made it so easy to follow other people. With a click we can see what they are doing, where they are going, things they like, etc. If we get disinterested, we can simply unfollow them. This very passive way of following others has, at times, influenced what following Jesus looks like. If we are to be a disciple, we have to know what following looks like. In this message, Pastor Dav...

In this message, we will look at the story of the Good Samaritan.  As we do, we will pay close attention to the man who was on the side of the road, because how we see him=who we see. Three different people saw him, but they each saw him differently and that determined how they responded to his situation.

There seem to be more dividing lines than ever. We see sides and not people, politics not people. We see nations as problems or ‘other religions’ and not people. As God looks at the world and at people that seem to be spinning out of control, what is God’s response? In today's message, we will find out that God's response to the world is a one word response.

 When it comes to community, ' with' was always the plan , it’s how Jesus lived and it is how we go further. There may be some still that aren’t buying it. Community is a great concept/word, but we still aren’t sold. You may be asking what’s in it for me?  Well in today's message, we will look at the benefits of community.

None of us really want to go through life on our own. There are times when we think we can do it all, but life is always better together. Even though some of our pain has come from others, our most dangerous moments come when we are alone. We were designed for relationships, to be with others and God. In today's message we will see just how important the word 'with' is for all of us.

Jesus talked a lot about harvest, seeds, soil and fruit. Matter of fact, one of his last conversations with the disciples revolved around fruit. He didn’t just talk about his favorite fruit, but he shared with them his desire that they produce fruit, lasting fruit. He knew that as he told them how it works, that centuries later, we would want to know as well.  So in this message, we look at h...

Fall is in the air! Labor Day Weekend ushers in the change of the seasons and for some of us, we can't wait. We love fall! The pumpkin spice, bonfires, cooler weather, slower pace and comfy clothes! The fall also brings in this expectation of change. We look for the grass to get greener, the leaves to change and our gardens to produce. In this message we will be challenged to check and see what Go...

This series has been all about prisoners, captives, scriptures written from behind bars. I have one more thought for you today, or rather a question for all of us, are those bars still with you?

Prisoners don’t always live behind bars, sometimes they live behind enemy lines as a captive. Being behind enemy lines makes most of think of ways to escape, but what if that isn’t the plan? What if God has us right where we are supposed to be? In this message, we will look at the life of Daniel to find out how we can live behind the lines.

As we continue our series, Pastor Alex takes a look at Philippians 1 to show us 4 ways we can focus our lives on eternal things.

Our culture today makes it pretty easy to focus on ourselves.  So many things 'help' us to look at ourselves before looking around at the world we are in.  In this message,  Pastor David will give us 3 things that the Apostle Paul made evident with his life, even when he was behind bars.

In this message, we will look at a part of Peter’s life to see a significant change in him.  He had been very vocal about his loyalty to Jesus, but then denied him.  Thankfully that isn’t where his story stops.  Jesus restores him and invites him once again to follow him.  After the day of Pentecost, something in Peter changed.  He was courageous and bold!  He had thi...

We are in a fight!  The enemy hopes to keep you knocked down or make you give up though.  He doesn’t want you to keep going.  The truth is that he is afraid of you.  You are a threat to his kingdom.  So get up and keep fighting!  You can’t sit this out; there are no sidelines! In this message, we will look at the rest of the armor and weapons God has given us for the...

Maybe today you need to be reminded once again that we aren’t just in a fight, but we have a God on our side. Just in case you need to be reminded that we aren’t fighting for victory, we are fighting from victory. Just in case you need to be reminded what God has given you to fight with…today is for you!  In this message, we will begin to look at the armor God has given us for the battle we a...

Whether we want to admit it or not, whether we feel like fighters or not, there is a battle that we are all in.  Whether that is good news or bad news for us, God has given us some things to help us fight!  In this message, we will look at who we are fighting and talk about how we fight.

There are things in all of our lives that need to change.  Our diet, we need to workout, we need to slow down, we need better relationships, we need more time with God, etc.  Knowing this leads to the message today, what’s the hold up?  In this message, we will look at a few reasons that may be holding us back from getting to God and receiving what we need from him.
