This morning, we will learn about praying in the deep end from Jesus. We will see what praying from the deep ends looks like and why it is so important! Our key text is in Mark 14, where we find Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane. It is the night before He is crucified. Mere hours before He is arrested and the events of the crucifixion begin to fall in place. Jesus takes Peter, James and Jo...

We have been talking about prayer now for the past four Sundays. This is week 5 of the 6 weeks we will spend on prayer! We have spent 4 weeks on prayer and we have looked at some of the dynamics of our prayers and the relationship between worship and prayer. Today though there are two questions we need to seriously consider in regards to our prayer.

The past two weeks we saw Paul praying for the Church at Ephesus, and he said in BOTH prayers, that he prayed “FOR THIS REASON.” What was that reason? Why was Paul praying for them? Because of their potential. He saw in them and prayed for them, that they would realize their potential. So  we might look at ourselves and think we could never do an all-night prayer gathering and yet it is my jo...

Today as we BOW DOWN AND LOOK UP, Paul has yet another prayer for us, a prayer where he will pray that we would know a richness in our lives. Where we would discover a rich and rewarding life! As I said last week, Paul knows our potential, He knows how rich, how rewarding, how fulfilling our lives can be in Christ, and he wants us to discover that richness for ourselves. In fact he will show us th...

Let’s start here this morning. I have 5 statements on prayer. I wonder which of these statements resonates with you? Prayer is having a conversation with God about my life. Prayer is being authentic with God and is a healthy way to process the emotions I am dealing with and to find peace. Prayer is bringing my burdens and requests to God. Prayer is acknowledging God’s Presence in my Life. Prayer i...

This morning I want to start a new series of messages that will actually take us to Easter. This series of messages, will focus on prayer and help us consider what prayer really is and the place it should have in our lives. I want us to consider the two forces of bowing down and looking up. The idea of our prayer set within the context of our worship. Prayer being one of the most prolific expressi...

There are 5 truths I want us to see in communion that visualize for us the Gospel we are called to LIVE-OUT everyday! What if communion became a regular reminder not for merely 5 minutes every so often, but for every minute of everyday. What if communion became a reminder of the gospel we are called to live out!

This morning I aim going to wrap up this series PURSUIT: CHASING AFTER THE HEART OF GOD! And we are going to go right to the very HEART of God’s heart! Just picture God’s heart as a target! We will aim for the heart of God’s heart this morning. This morning we are going to go in pursuit of GRACE!

This morning I want to talk to us as a church! Yes this sermon will also speak to us personally, but to some degree this is a message for us collectively as the church. This morning we will address the question,  “What is OUR responsibility in the world today?  “What is OUR responsibility within society today? We live in a fallen, broken, hurting, spiritually bankrupt world, that is on s...

Does life ever fail to make sense to you? Do you ever look at the world around you and the life you are living and simply wonder, what does it all mean? Does life ever fail to make sense to you? Does life ever fail to seem worth it? Does life ever feel like it is all a waste of time? Do you ever look around you and the life you are living and ask, “What’s the point of it all?”

This morning as we continue our New Year’s Series PUSUIT:CHASING AFTER THE HEART OF GOD, I want to us consider the Pursuit of God’s Will? What does it look like to pursue God’s Will and even more, how do we  find it? How can we discover God’s Will for our life, our family and yes even our church! Let’s start with a foundational verse, then a central passage of scripture and a BIG IDEA, then w...

Last week I mentioned that one of the keys to holiness was walking in intimacy with God. That’s very true! The time we spend with God transforms us. Just as Moses spent time in God’s presence and his face began to glow, so it is with us. If we spend time with God, if we get to know God personally and intimately people will see Him in us. It is that simple! If you enjoy this video please consider d...

Hopefully this morning, we can put this myth to rest. Hopefully this morning, we can all go home with a different understanding of what it means to pursue and practice HOLINESS! In fact I will show you 2 key truths that it is imperative we understand about Holiness! 

We are in a new series here, actually a New Years Series, called PURSUIT: CHASING AFTER THE HEART OF GOD! In this series we are considering what it looks like to live a life in pursuit of the very heart of God. To chase after God’s heart!

In this series we want to consider what that looks like for us? What if we were men and women who chased after the Heart of God, what if we lived a life of Holy and Heavenly Pursuit? Last week we talked about the shape of hope and how God wants us to abound in HOPE! This morning, I want us to consider pursuing FAITHFULNESS! I want us consider what FAITHFULNESS means to God.

As we embark upon the New Year, I want to begin a New Series of messages. I want to spend the next 5 or 6 weeks looking at this Idea of PURSUIT! The truth is we are ALL pursuing something in life, the only real question is WHAT? What is your life in pursuit of? Specifically in this series we are going to look at the idea of chasing after the heart of God. We went to consider what it looks like whe...

We have been spending this Christmas looking at some of the gifts of Christmas, some of the Christmas gifts we may not always associate with theChristmas Narrative in the Bible. This morning I have one last gift for us to unwrap and that is the gift of Reconciliation.

This Christmas we have been looking at the gifts of Christmas, The gifts from God the Father. Today I want us to consider the gift that is at the hear of our Christmas Celebration. This morning I want us to consider the Gift of Jesus!

This morning as we continue this series, THE GIFTS OF CHRISTMAS, I want unwrap the gift of adoption with you. We may not think about adoption as being associated with Christmas but we should. I will show you why this morning. The Bible compares the Christian’s relationship with God The Father to an adoption. The thing is, Christmas is when The Father started our adoption process. We will see that...

This morning as we continue our series the Gifts of Christmas I want to talk about the gift of Grace. I want us to open up this most beautiful of Gifts, and consider what it really means to us. The truth is, because Jesus showed us grace, because HE has given us this gift of grace, we can give grace to the other people in our life. In fact let’s be honest, those of us who know Christ as our Savior...

Today I am starting a new Christmas series where we are going to look at 5 gifts over the next 5 weeks. These are the gifts of Christmas. These are the gifts that we find in the Christmas Season and Christmas Story. Now these are not the ONLY gifts of Christmas, we could identify more, but some of these may be gifts we don’t think of often. Some of these may be the unexpected gifts of Christmas.

Now here’s the thing, if you didn’t already know this, you need to learn it this morning. Gratitude is good for your health! One of the best things you can do for your health is to cultivate a HEALTHY HEART! Maybe this is why God share these parameters for our Thankfulness in the following verses.

Today's Big Idea: I am complete in Christ and designed to live in complete dependence upon Him!

Like we saw the past two weeks with Moses, there is an invitation that God gives us and a life we are called to live. Last week we saw that life as being outside our comfort zone. This morning I want us to see the life we are called to live through a different lens.

Today's Big Idea: The farther we are outside our comfort zone, the closer we will be to God!
