Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: Genesis 3:17-19

Work is a blessing, but it can feel like a curse. Our work is one of the primary arenas in which we reflect the nature of God and in which we are transformed into the character of God. But when we begin to despise work, or conversely worship work, it becomes a source of frustration rather than fulfillment. Is work, for you, a blessing or a curse?

Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 4:10-12

Pleasure is a good gift, but it is a disappointing deity. God made pleasure, and when we use it well, it draws us closer to Him. However, when we turn pleasure into a god, it will leave us feeling hollow. It might even destroy us.

Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: Genesis 1-4

Money, money, money... we think about how to make it, dream about how to spend it, and worry about how we might lose it, all because we believe money can buy us the satisfaction and security we crave. But money is a false god. It will leave us empty and broken if we worship it. So discover how to enjoy your money as a gift without worshipping it as a god.

Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: Genesis 1-2

Our society believes that wisdom, education, and knowledge are the silver bullet that will solve our problems and fulfill our hopes. But as Solomon and so many others, myself included, have painfully discovered, while wisdom makes a great tool, it makes a lousy god.

Speaker: Trey Corry

Even the best things in life are meaningless... if this life is all there is. If we live for the pursuits and pleasures of this life, disappointment and despair are inescapable. But if we live for the next life by trusting and obeying the One who is "beyond the sun" we can find meaning in this life "under the sun."

The new year is a season for restarts. Most people plan a resolution. But before we resolve we need to take a step back and ask, where am I really wanting to go. Make this year a new start with God, going where He is leading. Join us as we learn from the life of Abraham.

How do we live out our faith as sons and daughters of the Lord Most High? Through sanctification, God promises to change a Christian's Affections and Abilities through the indwelling Holy Spirit and through His Living Word.

No one has ever experienced a worse Christmas than Jesus! He exchanged the perfection of heaven for the suffering of life among us. So if Christmas finds you blue, turn to Him who perfectly understands your pain and who has proven His infinite love by choosing to experience His own "blue Christmas" for us.

Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: Philippians 2:12-15

We know the gospel and we know we should be sharing it, but we don't... at least not often.
