So, what makes our life significant? We know that work, play, community, our home, investments, and even our service can add value to our lives, but they do not define it. Therefore, if I want my life to be significant, what underlying values or practices should I be participating in so that it is significant now and hereafter? The Bible says that the practice of gratitude gives us a life here and...

Through this series, we're looking at what it means to become a community of one… a community united around Jesus. As a brief recap: WEEK 1: You are a masterpiece . Act like it. If we're going to be a community of one, we need to recognize what we are and we need to treat others as the masterpieces they are. And the good news is that the world is drawn to that kind of love in action. WEEK 2: When...

Today we celebrate 140 as a church and continue to move forward on the foundation that was laid 140 years ago. Our guest this morning is Dr. Scott Sullivan, with the the Georgia Baptist Mission Board. Join us as Dr. Sullivan shares with us A Call to Genuine Discipleship.

You are a masterpiece - made in the image of God. God, the one who created this amazing world and said it was 'good'. Then went on to create you and me and call us 'very good.' And as a masterpiece, made in God's image, we are called to serve all the other masterpieces made in God's image. When we recognize what we are – masterpieces and when we begin to live up to this ideal by serving others the...

We are taught from an early age to be self-sufficient. We are told to fend for ourselves as a sign of strength and maturity. It's a preferred trait. Those who can't go it alone are viewed as weak or at least as “less capable" than those who can. We value independence and individualism above almost everything else. But, we weren't created to live this way. It may feel counter-intuitive, but the tru...

For the past 6 weeks we’ve been looking at the life of the man Jesus called, “The greatest born of a woman.” We’ve called him the Forerunner, because he came before and prepared the way for Jesus. In today’s final installment of our Forerunner series, John the Baptist dies. He lived well, and he died well. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas share with us how we can die well.

In this series we have learned a ton about John and we have learned a ton from John. It is amazing to think that John was not at Jesus birth, death, resurrection, or the birth of the church, but has left his mark all over Christianity. Join as as Dr. Chuck Jonas shows us John the Baptist method of introducing people to Jesus.

Over the last number of weeks, we have been working through the series Forerunner, looking at the life of John the Baptist, the voice crying in the wilderness, preparing the people for the coming of the Lord. This morning we come to a crucial moment in this series, where we have to ask the question: How can a Christian communicate that Jesus really is the Son of God, worthy and willing to receive...

We have been learning about the most important man who ever lived. Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, among those born of women no one greater than John the Baptist has appeared… Matthew 11:11a Six months before Jesus was born, John, His Forerunner was born. When John was eight days old, his father quoted 11 different passage of Scripture over him. Join us a Dr. Chuck Jonas reminds us that words have...

What would you do if you ever got more than you hoped or asked for? Would that even be possible? Ephesians 3:20 says that God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all we can ask or imagine. Most people would say that the story of Christmas begins with the announcement of the birth of a baby. And they would be right. But when they try to name that baby, they say, “His name was Jesus.” And th...

Within the history of our nation, there have always been men who inspired us with their courage in times of change or crisis. We become better men and women when we’re reminded what a great life looks like and lifted up by them. For the next several weeks, we are going to be lifted up together by the life of John, the son of Zechariah, who people call “John the Baptist.” And I call, “ The Forerunn...

When we come to the mountain of grief, whether it’s the passing of a loved one the end of a marriage infertility or miscarriage a broken friendship the death of a dream or the termination of a career Questions fill our minds, and we wonder whether we’ll ever get through the grief and get to a place of acceptance. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas share with us how we can move from grief to acceptance.

Sex sells. You see this in tv adds, magazines, and on computer screens. Peter Kreeft made this statement; “If lust ceased tomorrow, we would be plunged into the greatest economic depression in history. Remove sex appeal from advertising, advertising from the economy, and the economy from civilization and what would be left?” Solomon said, “That which has been is what will be, That which is done is...

A W. Tozer observed, “Most of the world’s greatest souls have been lonely.” You could all probably come up with a list of men or women who are lonely, whether in business, medicine, law, sports, or whatever field they may be in. I could give you a list of those who have experienced loneliness in ministry. Many of the names on your list would be foreign to me, as the names on my list would be forei...

What do you think of when you think of materialist? Billionaires driving around in Lamborghinis, vacationing in the French Riviera, or hanging out in their New York penthouse. The one image that doesn’t come to mind is someone going to church. For most people, materialism is the opposite of spirituality . The true materialistic person is a very spiritual person; it’s just that he or she has turned...

A doctor struggled with how he should break the news to the unfortunate man. “Sir, I’m sorry; it is the worst possible outcome we could have imagined. Test results indicate that you have rabies. We will do everything we can to make you comfortable. But I cannot give you false hope. There is nothing we can do to cure you. My best advice is that you put your affairs in order as soon as possible.” Th...

Fear is a natural part of life, but it wasn’t a part of God’s original design.  In the Garden of Eden, Adam had no fear of lions or tigers, or bears, or even cockroaches, if there were any before the fall. Though fear can be useful, providing a surge of adrenaline that makes us very aware of dangerous situations so we can take appropriate actions, chronic fear can paralyze us from moving forw...

have you ever thought for a minute that we have been to hard on Mrs. Job? After all, she also lost her children and security, and for all she knew, she might lose her husband too. We all think we would be like Job and declare, as he did, “Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity? The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord.” ( Job 2:10...

July 4, 1776 proclaimed their independence from England. We know the document as The Declaration of Independence. America may have won its freedom from Britain on July 4, 1776. We know the document as The Declaration of Independence, but when you look at our nation today it becomes obvious that we are still slaves– to sin. The only way we can be set free is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Join Us as D...

Most of us know that worrying doesn’t change anything, yet we do it all the time. Like Linus from the Peanuts cartoon, we carry around our anxieties, our worries, and our fears like a blanket, believing there is security in them. So what can we do about our anxious thoughts? I have good news for you: the Word of God has the answer. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares with us how to move from anxiety...

If earthly fathers seek to be wise in the giving of gifts, we can rest assured that the heavenly Father gives with even greater wisdom. Some gifts fathers find impossible to give because of their economic circumstances. Other gifts are more important than any gadget or toy fathers can give to their children. J oin us as Dr. Chuck Jonas Share with us Gifts That Fathers Can Give.

Guilt is like an acid that eats away our conscience-drip by drip. It’s something we can never outrun, but we can stop the drip. Everyone at one time or another faces the mountain of guilt. We can choose to ignore it, or we can repent and enjoy freedom for a clear conscience. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas show how to move from guilt to repentance. 

A mountain that seems insurmountable isn’t, as long as we’re willing to grow. And with growth comes a change in perspective and a renewed hope that, in days to come, even Everest-like mountains can and will be conquered. There is a good chance that you and I will never climb a literal mountain like Everest, but we will come face-to-face with other tall mountains. Some of the mountains looming over...

Usually at the end of someone’s life, the conversation that takes place is not about how many more vacations they wish they would have taken, how they should have purchased that big-screen TV, or how sad it makes them that they did not start a podcast. Rather what people talk about is how they wish they had more time with their families, how they want to heal a broken relationship, or how they wou...

One of the hardest things we all have to deal with id the loss of a loved one. Sometimes they have felt deep grief and heartbreak. Sometimes they feel confusion as to how this could happen. Sometimes they feel anger that God would allow this to take place. But we have the assurance that we have a Father in heaven who not only knows our grief, but walks alongside with us in those moments. Join us a...
