The Connection Church

Amazing grace results in an amazing life. God never intended your life to be average, mediocre, or mundane. He intends your life to be truly amazing, and He has provided the grace to make it a reality.

When we speak, words come out. These words affect not only us but all those who hear them. This is one of the reasons that David prayed in Psalm 19:14 for his words to be acceptable in the sight of God. Our desire should be that our words bless both God and everyone else that listens. This Sunday Pastor Karrianne will share how you, too, can pray that prayer and find your words to be pleasing to G...

It’s easy to get discouraged when you don’t see things coming to pass for which you have hoped. But Hebrews 10:23 says to “hold fast the confession of our hope.” This means that after our hope is restored, we can hold onto it. We have to fight and win the battle against hopelessness! This Sunday, we return to our Restoring Hope series and learn how to obtain and maintain a confident hope for the r...

A child is born with no ego. Your first introduction to identity is usually looking in a mirror and being told that’s who you are. We must relearn our identity so that our ego or confidence is based on Jesus Christ in us. Find out who you really are, not what others, or even you have said, but who God says you are. It’s time to no longer be a slave to pride and an ego of arrogance, but be free to...

Proverbs 13:12 says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life.” It’s easy to get discouraged when you don’t see things coming to pass for which you have hoped. However, God wants you to live in a confident expectation and desire for something good in your future. You can only do that by Restoring Hope to your life journey.

This week, we conclude our series, 40 Days with Jesus. We will hear four more eyewitness accounts that dramatically retell the course of Christ's ministry leading up to his crucifixion and victorious resurrection.

For the next couple of weeks, we will watch a series of eyewitness accounts that dramatically retell the course of Christ’s ministry leading up to his crucifixion and victorious resurrection. We will highlight some of the major events in Christ’s life and how they impact our lives today. Celebrate the resurrection of Jesus with us!

God desires for His children to truly live a blessed life, but in order for this to take place, our hearts must be right. When God changes a heart from selfishness to generosity, every part of that person’s life-journey is affected for the better. A heart of generosity is the number one key to living The Blessed Life.

A father always wants the best for his children. This is true of our Heavenly Father as well. God desires to bless you because He loves you and wants the best for you! But, in order for God to bless you, there are certain things that must be in order in your life.

Being blessed means having supernatural power working for your good. You may not be wealthy by the world's standards, but you can enjoy a quality of life that most billionaires would envy. Join us as we begin examining God's laws and principles of giving that are key to living The Blessed Life.

The Bible teaches that victory can be increased in your home, business, and church through unity. The unity of the saints is fought by the enemy of our souls more than any other truth.

What if God designed marriage to make us more like Him rather than to simply make us happy? Pastors TJ and Karrianne will show us how to use the challenges and the struggles of marriage, as well as the joys and the celebrations, to draw us closer to God and to grow in Christian character.

In our examination of and our desire to increase in Quality Relationships, this week we will focus on the marriage relationship. Marriage is unique in that it displays the character of God to mankind. The love that is displayed in marriage reflects the love that God has for His Church. Join us as we search God’s Word for direction, not to just survive a marriage, but to thrive and Increase in Our...

We all have relationships during our time on Earth. Unfortunately, not every one of them turns out to be a good one. And some of our relationships even end up being really bad. Everyone would love to have only good relationships in life, but is that even possible?

The ultimate example of perfect love and the fear of the Lord working together is Jesus Christ. He warned us at every turn to fear God, not men, and He confirmed that in everything about his life, death, and resurrection. He spoke lovingly but frankly to all and didn't mince words when people needed to face their sin and repent. This Sunday, we will conclude our rediscovery of The Fear of the...

There are many Christians who feel that the fear of the Lord is an old idea found in the Old Testament and is no longer relevant. However, the principle of fearing God is found in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. It's not only relevant for today, but the fear of the Lord is crucial to the proper spiritual growth for every believer. Join us this Sunday, as we discover our great ne...

As we discovered during our New Year's Eve Service, 2015 is the Year of Increase. The word increase means to become or make greater in size, amount, intensity, or degree. This is what God's wants to do with you in this new year! This Sunday, Pastor TJ will introduce some areas in which God wants to increase you so that you will be blessed and so that you can be a blessing to others. The...

Discover the three areas of faith in which God wants you to be steady.

The word was given at our New Year's Eve Service that 2015 is the year of increase. However, in order to receive increase from God there are basic spiritual truths that must be followed. One of those truths is fasting. Even though Jesus spoke often of fasting and even fasted Himself, it's one of the least talked about disciplines in the church at large. Many people believe that fasting i...

A short, but special, word for the new year.

In the parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15, Jesus shared this parable: "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn't he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?" If you found yourself in the same situation, what would you do? Join us this Sunday as Elder Joe Thompson leads us in searching the scriptures to see...

As we continue to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior this Sunday, we will take a look at the birth of Christ as found in the gospels of Matthew and Luke. We'll begin by exploring the account of the shepherds who were visited by an angel proclaiming the good news, and then focus on the wise men and their significance to the Christmas story. You don't want to miss this Sunday'...

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

God has purposed to reproduce His life in and through your life. In order for Him to do that, He must reveal Himself to you and bring you into an intimate relationship with Him. It is His highest priority! How does He do that and what is your part?

Having a spirit of gratitude is extremely important for every believer in Jesus Christ. Being kind to those around us is not the only purpose for gratitude, it’s for our protection as well. Thankfulness is an essential guardian of the soul. We open ourselves to be fair game to the enemy when we don’t live a life of thankfulness, so we should always guard ourselves with gratitude.
