Today is part one of a three part message. Root! Shoot and Fruit. God does not desire us to spring up quickly and then face difficulty and dry up and die. His desire for us is to be rooted in Him, Grow in Him and Bear fruit in Him.

When David and Goliath fought they were both champions. No both of them did not win but both championed for their cause. God is still looking for men and women to champion His cause. But even more important than that is God sees each of us a a cause worth fighting for. Jesus is still our undefeated champion!

What are your goals for 2024? I feel like God wants us to Pray, Praise and Pursue. What does that look like? Can those three things help us to make 2024 the greatest year of our lives? Let's talk about it.

The Christmas story never gets old! Even though we have heard it many times there is so much more we often forget. Sometimes we forget Joy to the World the Lord Has Come.

In this life we fight many battles some we appear to lose and feel like God is no where around. God is always aware of what you are going through even when it appears that He doesn't know much less care. We need to constantly remind ourselves that We Win!

In just a couple of weeks we will celebrate Christmas, the day that God gave the earth it's greatest gift. Although insignificant at the time it was a gift that keeps on giving and giving.

Sometimes there is a lot of discussion on who has the greatest calling. Which ministry is greatest? What is the greatest calling? Let's look and see.

Many times we think God is running late. But the reality of life is God is always on time. Even though God is always on time sometimes his watch and our watch are not always in sync. We must submit to his direction and go where He wants us to go.

When the word 'therefore' is used, you need to see what it's there for.

The Jews consider the 10 commandments to be God's marriage proposal to the Jewish nation. God calls the church the bride of Christ. What does it mean to be the bride of Christ? Let's look at it.

Jesus made an almost unbelievable statement in John 14 when He said even greater things you shall do. How can that be? How can we do greater things? How can we prepare to do greater things?

Many people are headed in the wrong direction. They are getting nowhere fast. What is our responsibility to those people? What if we are headed in the wrong direction what do we do? Let's look and see.

The early church would say "Maranatha" whenever they met a fellow believer. It literally means, "He comes" or "He has come." What words of encouragement! What ever may be coming our way pales in the comparison of the knowledge that Jesus has come and He is coming again.

An anointed announcement! From special guest speaker, Missionary Jeff Staudte.

God is the great giver. He has always been a giver, and will always be a giver. Satan is a thief and a liar he does not give, he steals. Let's thank God for His great gifts.

God is constantly reaching out to man. He calls him, He loves him, and He qualifies him. We must be willing not only to listen and to hear but to respond to His call. Photo by Hassan OUAJBIR on Unsplash

The Bible teaches us that we walk by faith. What does that mean? What happens when faith is fulfilled? Faith becomes reality.

The book of Judges covers a dark period of time for Israel. Throughout, we see Israel abandoning God in pursuit of something they thought would bring them more pleasure. In Judges chapter three, we are introduced to Ehud, a man God would use to deliver Israel and guide them back to right relationship with Him. Ehud is unique, yet God used him. You might be unique, but God can use you!

Speaker: Pastor Amanda Hahn If you've ever been to SeaWorld and watched the Shamu Show, you know there are an array of participants ranging from those who want to be entertained to those who want to get soaked! The same can be said about the Church! Some people come for the "show", to be entertained, while others come to experience God and the Holy Spirit, and then tell everyone abou...

In the book of Exodus there are 10 plagues reported. Each one of those plagues was pertaining to an Egyptian god. In the plague of frogs, we find a very interesting occurrence. When Pharaoh was asked when he desired for the frogs to be gone, he said tomorrow. He chose to spend one more night with the frogs. We say how foolish, but don't we often do the same thing?

Christians have a lot of things to overcome. One of the things we must overcoming is the statement "they say." We can not listen to the they sayers, we must listen and obey the voice of God. Let's be what God wants us to be and we will be more than overcomers. Photo by Sharon Waldron on Unsplash

We all know that God is not hard of hearing but we also know he is not nervous. Lifting our voices and crying for help, lifting our voices and praising God are certainly approved by God. Let's shout to the Lord today and see what God will do in and through our lives.

We all know what it feels like to be hurt. The old saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" is a lie. Sometimes, no matter how tough we think we are, the words and actions of others hurt. The question is not whether or not you will be hurt, the question is, how are you going to respond when the hurt comes? As a Christian, we only have one choice: forgi...

The Quarantine of 2020 caused us to explore what Church Online really means. And it's not just regurgitating the in-person experience online--that doesn't make sense. Instead, we are re-imagining what an online expression of church can be and working towards that goal. It's not just about the physical church anymore, and it certainly can't just be all digital. No, it's a Phygit...

Peter tells us that God is using lively stones to build his kingdom. None of the stones he uses is perfect. We all have flaws, but the building He makes is a building without spot or blemish.
