Pastor Dale Benson At times life can be a little funny when things are taken out of context, but the level of humor or discomfort may stem from your perspective to the event(s) taking place. Exodus 20:1-18 (NLT) Simply reading these words today brings with them a multitude of reactions.  As a pastor I know that my preaching from this passage has meant that I have divided people into various g...

Pastor John Keating Exodus 13 The Israelites left Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness. The Lord went ahead of them. He guided them during the day with a pillar of cloud, and He provided light at night with a pillar of fire. This allowed them to travel by day or by night. And the Lord did not remove the pillar of cloud or pillar of fire from its place in front of the people. E...

Pastor Mark Fuller Exodus 17 Every physical (earthly) challenge & contest has a spiritual dimension to it. Prayer must always be our first priority. Intercessory prayer is providing the support for someone to lean on. Praying for others is more important than praying for myself. When we pray, we are taking back lost territory to Satan. Ephesians 6:12 (NLT) “We believe you can’t do life alone.”...

Pastor Dale Benson Exodus 17 Have you ever walked into a class only to find out that there was a pop quiz that day, or better yet, a test you had forgotten to study for? If you have never had that feeling. . . Today is your day. . . Testing reveals where you have grown, and where you need to continue to grow.  Tests are not meant to bring failure.  Temptations are meant to create failure...

Join Zak O'Day and David Morrison as they discuss post christian culture and the deconstruction movement. 

As Michael and Shelby prepare for their upcoming nuptials, they discuss surrender and submission, and how we must be willing and vulnerable to submit to one another in marriage, but most importantly, in our relationship with God. 

Pastor David Morrison Exodus 14 The Israelites were at the Red Sea - stuck. But God said don't be afraid...get moving! When God makes a way, you have to take a step. Trust Him to do a new thing in your life. He is a God of miracles!

Pastor David sits down with Pastor Bailey to recap his sermon from Sunday. 

Pastor David Morrison Join us this week as Pastor David brings the message!

Pastor John Keating God’s desire is for you to be free in relationship with Him but he doesn’t desire to change your earthly well-being. He was not just setting his people free from the bondage of slavery, he was setting them free from their spiritual bondage. The purpose of Jesus coming and dying on the cross was for the forgiveness of our sins. The purpose of the Lamb being crucified was so its...

Pastor Dale Benson Our stories matter. Listen to what God says to Moses. . . Exodus 4:11-12 (NLT) Who made you?  Who created your hands?  Who created what is in your hand?  Who can shape and re-shape what is in your hand?  Moses was in a desert land, exiled from his previous family, herding sheep with a nomadic Bedouin family of whom he was now a part.  Parts of his story...

Pastor John Keating Moses finds himself amongst a people group that are enslaved. Slaves to Pharaoh and the Egyptians. Moses is born here. As a young child, his life is spared and he’s taken into Pharaoh’s house. Moses is at a point in his life where he begins asking questions: Who am I? Where do I belong? What am I supposed to do? Where do I fit in? Questions we all might ask ourselves from time...

Pastor Dale Benson Listen along as Pastor Dale starts our new sermon series, Exodus.

Superintendent Pastor Andres Hernandez Join us this week as we hear a message from Superintendent Pastor Andres Hernandez from Puerto Rico.

Pastor Bailey Medley Today we’ll be looking at a dream that we see in the Bible and all the little moments that build up to them through the life of Joseph in Genesis. His life is found in Genesis 37-50 . Joseph starts with a dream but goes through a series of ups and more downs for decades before he sees it happen. Because dreams are powerful, but they aren’t the sole purpose. Life provides turni...

Pastor Dale Benson Think outside yourself. This is not a sermon about the power of positive thinking. This is about gaining God’s perspective. Abraham Genesis 11-25 Don’t believe the lies that you tell yourself: I’m not good enough, etc. Don’t believe the lies that others tell you. Seek what God has for you. Here are three steps to help you: 1 – Pray 2 – Practice 3 – Preach Facing and fighting spi...

Pastor David Morrison I think God has a message for some of you today who are tired, thirsty, hungry – because you have fought so hard within the systems of this earth and placed your hope on things that always shift. You’ve placed your hope in that relationship, in your finances, in your plans. And they just aren’t working out. Jesus is offering you hope today. In scripture we find a very clear d...

Pastor Dale Benson Think outside the limits of your bank account, and outside the limits of your calendar.  You see, I am convinced: Christians do not have a resource problem. Christians have a reliance problem. We rely on everything but the one who has the resources. Think outside your calendar/clock. Joshua 10:1-15 (NLT) “I have so much to do that I spend several hours in prayer before I am...

Pastor Dale Benson Where do dreams go to die, and be resurrected? The question is not what we intend ourselves to be, but what He intended us to be when He created us. – C.S. Lewis Matthew 16:24-28 (NLT) In this passage, the disciples could not believe what he was saying because it did not match up with their dreams. Think about this tomb where Christ was laid.  On the cross he took your sins...

Listen with us as we receive a special message from General Superintendent Dr. David Busic.

Pastor David Morrison John 17 Jesus concludes these topics (betrayal, eternity, God as our source and how to have true joy) with a powerful prayer, one that has implications for our faith and also models how to pray. These are red letter words: John 17:11-26 There are five things I noticed that Jesus prays for his followers: (1)   Protection (17:11,15) (2)   Joy (17:13) (3)&nbs...

Pastor Dale Benson John 16 Sadness to joy, or exposed - in a good way! convict = elegxai =expose Quite often when we hear this word “conviction,” we hear condemnation. That is not at all what the word means. The Holy Spirit will shine light on Righteousness (Justice) Righteousness Judgement To be in Christ is to be found in his love and light. . . abiding in him.

Pastor John Keating John 15 Everything in life has an option for an even greater opportunity. Even more of what he offers. John 15:1-2 (NLT) Church plant: Jesus compares our life with him and relationship to God, to that of a plant. Leaves at the end of every branch – Jesus is the vine. Every branch then produces fruit (or leaves). If you start trimming back leaves, you’ll notice the branch gets t...

Pastor Dale Benson John 14 “There have been men before who got so interested in proving the existence of God that they came to care nothing for God himself… as if the good Lord had nothing to do but to exist.” -C.S. Lewis – The Great Divorce When we ponder heaven as an extra-terrestrial adult Disney World where all of our dreams can come true, to this extent, we have missed the very point of heave...
