The Connection Church

Transformation is not a one time event. It is the constant never ceasing change of a believer into the image of Christ. As Paul states in 2 Corinthians 3:18, we should always be willing to be "...changed into the same image from glory to glory..." This Sunday, we will go deeper into what it means to have a renewed mind and be transformed by the Spirit of the Lord.

Ephesians 4:23-24 says, "and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness." This Sunday, we will explore what it means to be renewed in the spirit of your mind.

We get our DNA from our parents. And while our genetic makeup tells us what color hair and eyes we will have, what about our personality traits? Studies have shown that we do pass on certain personality traits such as our attitudes and even our sense of humor to our children. If this is so, do we have any say about who we are or who we will become? Are we destined to be nothing more than a genetic...

Jesus said, "...I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." God's design is for us to put our full trust in the work of the cross. Jesus died for us so that we could not just "live," but live abundantly. We must choose to stand on God's Word and break every chain with which the enemy tries to shackle us. God wants every Christian t...

In the Proverbs, a question is proposed: where can one find a virtuous woman? In Christ we find her: the church. His Bride and His Body, the church, is the place of power, healing, and refuge on this earth. Come discover why and how you belong in the Body of Christ, the church.

The time to think about the finish line of a race is not when the race is over, but before the race has been completed. When all is said and done in your life, will you be able to look back as Paul did in 2 Timothy 4:7 and say, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith"? This Sunday we finish this message series by covering the last three keys to Wi...

In order to win the race of life, we must have the right attitude. No matter what crisis may come our way, if our attitude is right, we can still win. This Sunday, we will uncover another key that will help us face any crisis, overcome it, and stay on course to win the race.

So we've learned the first two keys to Winning the Race of Life: 1) know who you are, and 2) know where you are going. This Sunday we discover the third and fourth keys, so you can say with Paul the Apostle, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." (2 Timothy 4:7)

When David went out to face Goliath, he knew he was going to win. David was able to maximize his own strengths and talents to defeat a giant much taller and stronger than he was. Why? Because he knew who he was, and he was able to draw from the ultimate source of his strength and abilities: God!

Every Christian should be able to confidently say they are Winning the Race of Life. Paul, nearing the end of his life said, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith." (2 Timothy 4:7) If Paul did it, so can you!

We need to know where we are going in life...it is imperative! We will explore three different aspects of vision: heavenly vision, pastoral or church vision, and individual visions and dreams.

Last week, we began exploring a theology of the Holy Spirit, discovering who He really is according to the Bible. In doing so, we found that theology is an important and even exciting part of our daily walk with God. This Sunday, we will discuss what the Holy Spirit does in and through us, as we continue the sermon series, Led By The Spirit.

Theology is not just that tedious, boring thing that is taught in seminaries. Our theology, or our system of beliefs, good or bad, affects our daily lives. We do not want ineffective, or worse, lives lived in opposition to God's Spirit. This Sunday, we will look at some basic biblical ideas of who the Holy Spirit is and what he does, as we continue the sermon series, Led By The Spirit.

One of the areas we desperately need to examine is how we think about and relate to the Holy Spirit. As Christians, we have a good understanding of God the Father and Christ the Son, but when it comes to the Holy Spirit we are too often forgetful. This Sunday, we are going to begin shedding some light on the Spirit of God, and the need for Him to govern our lives. During the Led by the Spirit seri...

As we grow and understand the purpose of our lives, we see more and more of the life of Jesus being lived through us. This Sunday, we will see how God uses our circumstances to bring about the fulfillment of our destiny in him as we conclude the series, The Exciting Christian Life.

Devestating circumstances can be used by the enemy to rob you of your future blessings. However, God changes those circumstances for our good. This Sunday, discover God's great plan for you as we continue to examine The Exciting Christian Life.

We continue to look at The Exciting Christian Life. God has provided all that is needed (and more) to fulfill our destiny in Him. The battle and the fight associated with our walk in Him can produce a thrilling and abundant life. Our understanding and knowledge of this life's adventure increases as we open the Word.

The Christian life can actually be an exciting adventure! This Sunday, we will discover God's process in which He makes the Christian life exciting. Understanding ourselves and God's Word will ensure the antidote to a boring life.

The 5 characteristics of a servant of God.

Joshua 24:15 says, "...as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." This Sunday, we will talk about the type of service that is pleasing to God, brings Him glory, and makes Him look supremely valuable in the eyes of those around us.

God has called each of us to Serve Him. Service is not just about doing good things; it is about doing good things for the Lord. However, in all of our doing, we must make sure that our service is acceptable to God. This Sunday, Pastor TJ will begin discussing what it means to acceptably serve God.

For the past two Sundays, we have been exploring what it means to be a true worshiper in our hearts and attitudes. But what does that look like on Sunday or in our day to day life? This Sunday, we will discover how the Bible instructs us to live and act in praise and worship of our God.

This Sunday, we will go deeper into what it means to be a true worshiper who worships God in Spirit & Truth.

If Christianity is the transformation of rebels into worshipers of God, then it is imperative for Christians to know and understand what constitutes biblical worship. This Sunday, we will begin a brand new sermon series, Spirit & Truth.

True biblical happiness is independent of our circumstances, and it is not based on what others around us do or don't do. This Sunday, we will finish up the ten things happy people don't believe, and discover the truths of our acceptance, security, and significance in Christ.
