Two questions today Is there a person too far gone for Jesus? And, When are you ready to be used by God? Today we will let Mark 5 to speak to both of these. Let us stop answering the “what can” and “what would Jesus” do without looking at the word first.

Our willingness to live out a life of "yes" to God determines our fruitfulness. Great message from our guest speaker, Pastor Ben Goodman.

We are all looking for wisdom. Wisdom defined:: The quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment; the quality of being wise. In Hebrew, Wisdom is Khokhmah: Skill or applied knowledge….Not just having information but putting that information into action. Today we will look through Proverbs to see what to walk out wisdom.

At the time Paul wrote his letter to the Corinthian church, they were emphasizing a good thing, spiritual gifts, though they were failing to look after the best. They were using their gifts apart from love. Paul makes the point that the use of their God-given gifts would amount to nothing if the Corinthians did not make love their priority. 1 Corinthians 13 tells us the importance that love and ho...

Today we have witnessed one of the first things God has called us to walk in obedience. To be Baptized!! This is meant to be the first of many steps towards knowing and trusting God. Obedience is the means by which our faith, which is valued above gold, grows!!! Let's look at 1 Peter 1 to see how we are to walk this out.

Where do we go from here? Hopefully, you have had a great kick start of 2020!! And might have even started some new habits that will be life and joy building. So what now??!! Now that the 21 days of prayer and fasting are ending what's next? The answer is to Begin Again again!! This needs to be your daily reminder to get back up. Today we will look at some advice Jesus gave people following HIM. T...

Have you ever felt that it is too late, or things have gone too far, or you have missed your opportunity to get back to the Grace that you at one time loved to live in? The truth is we have all been there at one time or another. Some of us may be there right now!! Today we will look at my favorite Disciple. Guess WHO??? PETER!!! That’s right; we will be looking at a familiar text while trying to u...

Matthew 18:19–20 (NIV) 19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

Happy New Year!! There is always a pinch of hope with every new year!! There is a chance that this will be THE YEAR. You fill in the blank of what that means for you. But the truth without a little (a LOT) of help we want get there. So here is the GOOD news we have access through Jesus to the greatest help we could ever get. But the question is, will you lean in and allow Jesus to help you BEGIN A...

Week 2 of Pregnant with Promise!! After we overcome the doubt we have to do something with it. Today we will look at what the shepherds did with their promise.

For the next three weeks, we will look at the birth narrative out of Luke. We will focus on this phrase Pregnant with Promise. The birth narrative of Jesus is a promise of something future, and for the next three weeks, we will wrestle with that same promise as it relates to us personally. Mary and Elizabeth didn’t get to see any fulfillment of these promises for almost 30 years. The Treasure of b...

If you have breath in your lungs then God's not done yet!! Let Colossians 1 speak to this truth!!

James 1:2 Count it all joy , my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete , lacking in nothing.

Is it easy or difficult to trust God with your story (aka life)? All of it and not just the easy parts. Truthfully most of our stories are messing and at times, very scary!! It can be very easy to forget to put our trust in the right place. Today we are going to look at lots of examples of what it looks like to trust God with your story.

From the Bible we see that gratefulness is a very important biblical principle, Pastor Allan examines the reasons for this and also what may be the things that keeps us from living in a state of constant thankfulness.

Hear me this morning. The only thing that matters is something that no one in this room can see. Your heart. Hear this also God isn’t after your actions he’s after your heart. Do not try to please him with your actions, work your hardest at pleasing him with your heart. This is the hardest work you will ever do because it can not be faked!! Either HE has your heart or HE doesn’t. This morning we w...

2 Timothy 1:6–7 (ESV) 6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, 7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

1 Thessalonians 2:12 "we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory."

Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

What does it mean for Jesus to be "The Life" to us?

What does it mean for Jesus to be the Truth?

John 14:6 (ESV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

You will follow A way, live A truth, and have A life, but will it be THE Way, THE truth, and THE life? Jesus told his disciples in John 14:6 (ESV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." And he told them this to comfort their troubled hearts. Receive the same comfort.

Are you available? Life in Christ is a life of availabilities!! God, unlike us, is never not thinking about the mission. He is always working things to His end and using us to make it happen. Remember you “are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” Eph 2. When we understand this we are ready to be interrupted. Ready to b...
