Danger from Sea to Shore - The Servant Savior Series

As we follow Jesus, there will be many opportunities for our faith to lapse and our fear to take over. Whether it's an everyday obstacle or a supernatural attack, we can be sure we will face challenges as we follow Jesus. However, even more sure than the battle is the guarantee of victory!

The Dirty Work - The Servant Savior Series

"The Parable of the Sower" is more accurately called "The Parable of the Soil." It's more about the response of the hearers than the skill of the preacher. We all have a responsibility to God's Word. As we prayerfully dig  for truth, God will reveal it to us, producing fruit in our lives. But remember, sharing and applying God's Word is dirty, challenging work.

Sight vs. Faith - Night By SIght Series

Coke or Pepsi? UPS or FedEx? Walmart or Target? There are endless options for what you sip, how you ship, and where you shop. Spiritually, the two options are SIGHT or FAITH, and your choice determines how God responds to your sin. Will it be destruction leading to separation or discipline leading to restoration? Choose faith!

Habakkuk 2:2-20

1. Discipline for God's People - vs. 2-3

2. Destruction for God's Enemies - vs. 4-20

Emergency Response System - In Our Day Series

Don't expect something from someone if you haven't told them you expect it. Unvoiced expectations aren't fair. Similarly, it's unrealistic to expect something from God that you rarely - if ever - ask for. Our need for revival is glaring and blatant, which means that our prayers for revival should be faith-filled and persistent. God moves when His people pray.

The End... Or Is It?

Obituary, funeral, afterlife - all those words describe your future. The reality is that just like we were all born, we will all die. Like Elijah & Elisha, with our final dying breaths, we should be speaking in faith and leaving a legacy of faith that will outlast our time on earth. The end of your life on earth doesn’t have to be the end of the impact your life will have.

Stop the Dance! - Troublemakers Series

Vomit. It’s a very graphic word that describes the motion sickness you give God by dancing back and forth between God and the world (Revelation 3:16). Elijah challenged Israel to stop the dance between God and Baal, and the same is true today. Don’t try to live for the world and God – choose one and commit. 

Expect the Unexpected - Troublemakers Series

What do ravens, a widow, and a resurrection have to do with obedience and prayer? More than you may think. Elijah’s obedience and prayers unlocked supernatural provision and power from unexpected sources. Since the Bible says Elijah was “a man with a nature like ours,” the same can be true for you!

Praying with a New Perspective - Topical

When you understand that God is your Father, it will transform the way you pray. Since God is our Father, we can approach Him with confidence knowing that He has our best in mind. He may not always answer how you want, but His way is best!

The Context of Community - Topical Teaching

The parts of a statement that surround a word influence its meaning – it’s called “context.” The idea is similar for a Christian. The context of the community you are surrounded by greatly impacts how and why you function. Don’t neglect the power of Christ-centered community: it defines and helps fulfill your purpose.

Worthy - Topical Teaching

Worship, in its most basic form, is saying that something or someone is worthy of what you are offering to them. As Christians, there are a few basic things that should form the foundation of our worship of God. Although some do these things out of obligation or religious duty, our real motivation should simply be that God is worthy of whatever we give to Him. So worship Him with joy, because... He's WORTHY!

Leaving Love For Lust - LoveJoySex

Although Solomon began marriage well, he didn’t finish well. He traded love for lust and riches. Throughout the life of your marriage, temptations and distractions will fight for your attention, and against your loyalty. Stay focused on Jesus and remember that regardless of how you started, you can finish well!

I Love You To Death - LoveJoySex

“I love you to death” is a phrase people toss around, but it accurately describes the love God intended for marriage. Love and marriage weren’t intended to start and stop multiple times, but to be unquenchable flames that last a lifetime. In that case, guard your purity and prepare to give yourself to your spouse only.

The Marriage Bed - LoveJoySex

Sex is a God-given gift, reserved for marriage, to strengthen an already-existing bond. However…sex isn’t only for the honeymoon. As the marriage grows, so should sex, continuing to deepen and strengthen the relationship. “Marriage is honorable…and the bed undefiled,” so indulge your appetite! Bon Appétit!

Happily Ever After? - LoveJoySex

Typical movie weddings end as the couple rides into the sunset with the words “Happily Ever After.” Although dating, engagement, and the wedding night were exhilarating, there’s a lot more that goes on after that…and it’s not all happy. All marriages have conflict. Be prepared for it, and learn to quickly resolve it.

"I Do" - LoveJoySex

The wedding is an exciting day filled with anticipation, nerves, and celebration. However, many couples make the mistake of preparing more for the wedding than for the marriage. Be filled with integrity and prayer as you pursue a spouse, then make sure the wedding, honeymoon, and marriage are unforgettable!

For Better or For Worse - LoveJoySex Series

Small talk is fine for a stranger you just met, but when it comes to the person you’re committing your life to, you must go deep. A maturing relationship will require time together, full disclosure of who you are, and a commitment to work together to overcome obstacles. Are you committed? Prove it to them.

Love is in the Air - LoveJoySex Series

Dating and courtship should be a rush…but they shouldn’t be rushed. Attraction can masquerade as attachment and commitment, causing some people to dive in too quickly. Take time to get to know someone in and out, as you prayerfully consider God’s direction and timing for your relationships. His way is best.

Sex Ed - LoveJoySex Series

SEX. It was God’s idea. He created it for our pleasure and His glory. However, like humans do, we’ve perverted what He intended for good, resulting in deep, long-lasting consequences. It’s time to turn to God’s Word to educate ourselves on how far we’ve strayed from God’s plan and how to get back to it.

POSSESSIONS: The Joy of Re-Gifting

Re-gifting may be looked down on in pop culture, but God encourages it. We’re not talking about the sweater from your grandma, but about spiritual and financial gifts from God. They were given to us so we can re-gift them to others for their benefit and God’s glory! Don’t be stingy – giving is a joy and an honor!

CHURCH: Planted in the House of God (Psalm 92:12-15)

Many people have turned "church shopping" into an ongoing way of life. Church is often a commodity that is consumed instead of a community they are committed to. Let's change that! The house of God exists for your growth and God's glory, but that can only begin by getting rooted and staying committed.
