The Connection Church

God has called every Christian to show love in all of their relationships. Last week, we focused on Cultivating Relationships within the church. This weekend, we will continue talking about relationships, with a focus on Cultivating Relationships outside of the church. God commands us to love those around us that don’t know Him as Lord. We are even called to love the “unloveable.” Join us as we gr...

What do you want most out of life? Most of us would rank healthy relationships high on the list. Relationships are of the utmost importance to any life, especially in the life of a Christian. Except for knowing Christ and having eternal life, healthy relationships make life more rewarding. Our lives are all about learning how to love, and God wants us to value our relationships inside and outside...

In the last couple of Sundays, we have examined what love is and what love is not. As we wrap up this short sermon series on love, we will examine the remainder of the “Love Chapter,” as well as a brief trek into John’s first epistle. Join us as we finish up *The Most Powerful Force*

Last week, we talked about some things that love is not from ”The Love Chapter,” 1 Corinthians 13. Join us Sunday (10am at Gar-Field High School) as Pastor TJ explores the things that love is. We will find that in Paul’s letter to the church at Corinth he was attempting to convey less about what love feels and more about what love does.

What is the most powerful force on Earth? If you google this question, you will find the answer to be “the strong nuclear force.” This is the correct scientific answer. However, after scrolling through the results for awhile, you will find a different answer—the answer that can save the whole world! It’s found in the most popular verse in the Bible: “For God so loved the world…” Join us to explore...

Springboarding off the special word we received at our recent New Year’s Eve service, we are Getting a Fresh Perspective. We are examining some of the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus in the gospels. Join us as we gain a fresh look on God’s Kingdom, hearing the voice of God, and paying attention to His Spirit.

Join us this time for a special New Year’s Eve Service with our guest speaker, Peter Markgraaff, who had a special word for our church for the new year.

We hear the song, “Oh Come, All Ye Faithful,” every year at Christmastime. There is a beautiful and imploring line in this song that instructs us to “come, let us adore Him.” What does it mean to “adore” the Lord? This Christmas Sunday, we explore what that means and answer the question of why we should.

When you hear the words “the glory of God,” what do you think of? It might be difficult to describe the glory of God, but when you experience it, you definitely know it. Join us as we will attempt to answer questions like: What is the glory of God? Why is it important? What’s the difference between His glory and His presence? How can I experience the glory of God in my life?

The Bible makes it clear that one of the most important things to God is for us to seek Him. When we truly seek God, we experience His presence, which gives us blessings of all kinds: joy, peace, rest, comfort, encouragement, strength! Discover four steps on how to experience the presence of the Lord on a daily basis.

Can we experience the presence of the Lord on a daily basis? We believe Scripture is clear that we can, and those who do get rewarded. Hebrews 11:6 says, “…for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” Join us as we begin a new sermon series, Seeking His Presence.

Paul wrote to the churches in Thessaloniki, “in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.” We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. We also hope you’ll join us as we continue our current sermon series, The Will of God for You.

In Romans 8:27-28 we read, “Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” Join us Sunday as we continue our latest sermon series, The Will of God for You.

As believers, our faith will increase when we understand and know the will of God. However, confusion exists with many in the body of Christ concerning how to know His will for our lives. An unbiblical view of the will of God can cause those whose hearts are sensitive to spiritual things unnecessary heartburn, especially when making important decisions such as their vocation, marriage, education,...

We need to keep things in perspective: you may have some areas in which you still struggle and need to improve; we all do! However, being down on yourself is not going to help you do better! Join us as we look at the words of the prophet Jeremiah and what lessons and encouragements we can glean to grow.

Last week we began a new series on the biblical principle of God being the Potter, we are the clay, and what that really means for us. This week, we continue to talk about being shaped by the Potter unto full growth. We must accept our responsibility to grow!

One of the worst mistakes you can make is to go through life being against yourself. Some people live with a nagging feeling that’s always telling them, “You’re not good enough. You still have that addiction. You’ll never get it right.” They’ve heard that playing in their minds for so long that it’s become normal. However, we need to keep our flaws in perspective. Understand that God is the Potter...

We must be aware of the constant opposition that we face as the children of God. God has revealed in Scripture how we can maintain the victory in our lives that Jesus acquired for us at the cross. This Sunday we will understand how worship and warfare go hand in hand with winning in prayer.

Enjoy the inspiring, empowering message and testimony of our guest speaker, Mark Shell.

The concept of time management is not just a business concept; it’s a biblical concept. A key part to being a wise person is knowing how to manage your resources. If you manage something wisely, it grows and develops. Have a listen today for four keys to managing our time from God’s perspective, as we continue the sermon series, Uncommon Sense.

This time we pick up where we left off in our current sermon series revealing what the Bible teaches about the power and effect of the words of our mouths.

Last Sunday, we learned that if we want to be wise people, we need to know what to say, what not to say, and how to say what we say. This week, we continue to reveal what the Bible teaches about the power and effect of the words of our mouths.

When we study Proverbs, we will find that wisdom is linked to our words! We can’t study this book without realizing that God is very interested in the words that we say. In order to be wise people, we need to know what to say, what not to say, and how to say what we say. Find out what the Bible teaches about how we can adjust our speech to how God wants us to speak.

Join us as we share the next five characteristics of wise thinking. You can’t have a wise life without having wise thinking!

Wisdom is the greatest asset that you can obtain. Your thoughts indicate where your heart is, so you could even say that your life is a reflection of your thinking. Join us as we begin examining several characteristics of wise thinking in the next part of our sermon series, Uncommon Sense.
