Pastor Dave will dive into ways to accomplish God's plans for all areas of your wo...

The Blessing of Facing Opposition (Matthew 5:10-12) Living a supremely blessed life as a Christ-follower also means having a deal with harassment and opposition and persecution from others.

The Blessing of Being Merciful (Matthew 5:7) We all love the fact that Jesus does not give us what our sins deserve (death and separation); instead He loves and forgives us as He shows us mercy. We love His mercy, but at times we are not so quick to show that same mercy to others. That's an issue because Jesus tells us, "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." Join u...

The Blessing of Living God's Way (Matthew 5:6) Righteousness involves a relationship and a lifestyle. it's a relationship we, as Christ-followers, enjoy because God has made us right through faith. However, it's also a lifestyle because, in response to God's love and grace, we seek to live a life of righteousness that honors our Lord. This week, as we look at Jesus' fourth beat...

The Blessing of Being Gentle (Matthew 5:5) Gentleness may be an attribute we value in a nanny or a nurse, but it doesn't seem beneficial in our tough world. Jesus says it is.

No one wants to be envious. No one really likes "wishing" to be someone they can't be or "wanting" stuff they can't have. this Palm Sunday we will look at how, like the religious leaders in Jesus' day, sometimes envy can have us in its grip, too.

But, we never need to DOUBT God's Word! Join us as Pastor Dave shows us that we can TRUST God's promises when He tells us that He loves us (personally), forgives us (completely), and has plans for us t...
