Simple Church

In this series, we are drawing spiritual principles from things we love about summer. With school out, we are now called to begin living what we've learned. Today, we looked at how to live out the freedom we learned we have in Christ.

Jeff Beisel is a Fear Factor Champion and today he speaks from God's Word on the difference between temporal fear and reverent fear of God.

Our Connect Pastor Tim Toole delivers part two in a series that challenges us to be the shiny in our world.

As we wrap up this series, we look at gaining a Godly perspective on finances in order to live in a way that honors Him. We will look at 5 practical tools to help us along the way.

How we handle our finances tells God who is first in our lives! It’s not about the money; it’s about our heart. Today we look at the illogical and passionate pursuit of God for our hearts through the principle of tithing.

This series will take a look at a subject that Jesus talked about more than heaven, hell, or anything else: finances. In today's message, we look at what matters most, your heart. God doesn't care if you have stuff, he cares if your stuff has you. Can we trust God with our finances or will we allow them to become our god?

We love the Jesus who does miracles and answers our prayers. But when the table is cleared and all that is left is Jesus, will he be enough for us? Followers know and believe that Jesus is the Son of God, so no matter what comes their way, Jesus will always be enough.

As Christians, we must keep in mind that a relationships with Jesus needs to be our primary focus, not the rules of the relationship. When we care about following the rules more than the person of Jesus, we will wind up pushing people away from their opportunity to meet Jesus.

We all want comfort. We like our chairs, beds, clothes, relationships, finances, and lives comfy. But the invitation to follow Jesus is anything but that. In fact, it is quite the opposite as he invites us to "Come and Die."

Our natural response to intimacy is fear because we know that vulnerability and pain go hand in hand. Followers of Jesus have been called to a deep level of intimacy, where they know and are known completely.

Jesus extended an invitation to anyone to come and follow him. Anyone means everyone. To invite everyone, Jesus made sure all the qualifications and excuses were removed. As the church, are we ready for what it means for anyone to join the journey?

Are you just a fan of Jesus or are you a committed follower of his? Today we ask three important questions that will help you begin the process of determining your relationship status with Jesus.

We are on a road headed one of two places in life: HEAVEN or HELL. What does it take to go to heaven and how can we avoid going to hell? We can have an abundant, heaven bound life when we believe and accept Jesus in to our lives.

The world sees Christians as boring, angry, and a people group that just don't have any fun. David believes that they should be saying, "Christians are more fun than a barrel of monkeys." Listen in as he explores the gift God has given us in laughter.

In the last message of the series we look at the one word that could change every single relationship in our lives - commitment. It is the foundation upon which God has designed every one of our marriages to be built upon - to really mean "till death do us part."

A maturing relationship is one that develops a deeper love through selflessness. Whether you are married, in a relationship, looking for love, or recently exiting a relationship, these principles can be learned and applied to deepen the love in all of our relationships, but not without God's help.

Conflict arises in every relationship. Especially in a marriage relationship. How you handle it is important, because if you win the fight, you lose the relationship. We need to learn to fight in a way that leads to healthy resolution, but we can't do that when we don't tap into Godly principles.

This week we continue following our love story as we take a look at what great sex should be like within the bonds of marriage.

In each of our dating relationships, there are different seasons that we must honor so that we can give ourselves completely to each other in marriage.

In this series on the greatest love song ever, the Song of Songs, we will be following the love relationship of Solomon and the Shunamite woman. Every relationship begins with attraction, but our relationships need to begin with attraction according to God's design, not the culture's.

As we wrap up our study of the book of Daniel, we take a look at the prophetic part of this book and discuss the end times. Regardless of where you land on the subject, there are several things we can all agree on to make our days on earth count.

In Daniel 5 we read about how Daniel set himself apart by his exceptional qualities. Today we dig deeper into what qualities God defines as exceptional and how we can learn to be a little more like Daniel.

As we continue to study the book of Daniel, we talk about how we can learn from the mistakes of King Belshazzar and heed the warnings that are right in front of us.

As we continue in our study of Daniel, we take a look at culture's greatest sin and its ability to drive us insane. In the fight for our sanity, we learn 3 things that will keep us from the consequences of the sin of pride in our lives.

Culture is constantly pressuring us - go here, do this, be that, join this club... Where it crosses the line is when it demands that we do what they are doing or to stop doing what we are doing - especially when it involves our worship. As creatures who were created to worship God, we need to make sure He is getting our highest praise and adoration.
