03/04/17 – Too many of us are living lives devoid of power. We want things to change, to be different…to be better. As followers of Christ we want to see God move in our lives and we pray that He will do something great for us. There is something we need to know if we…
1/21/17 – 2/25/17 People see the world differently…that’s just how it is. We have different views and we think our view is the right one. How we see the world drives how we live our lives…so it is important to see the world as it really is so that we can live in truth…the way…
1/7/17 2016 was our Year of Living by Design. We spent the year talking about how we can live our lives on purpose according to God’s design for us and for the world around us. All that we learned helped us to make deliberate choices that would move us closer to God and help others…
12.24.16 It is so easy to lose the meaning of Christmas. We tend to get lost in the wrong kind of presents, or should we say, presence. We become so consumed with our own presents that we forget that Christmas is all about the presence of God. Have you been spending this Christmas waiting for…
Every day we make choices. Those choices determine who we are and where we end up. When we come to that fork in the road it matters which road we take. We all want the big answers to questions like, “What is my purpose,” but we only understand our greatest purpose by understanding our daily…
10.01.16 – 11.05.16 When people look at the church they often don’t see what we see. To the world…to the unchurched…we can look like an episode of “The Twilight Zone”. How did that happen to us…to God’s Church? There are a lot of things that we should have let go as a church that we continue…
08.07.16 – 09.03.16 When we look around us, it’s easy to be negative. Seeing all the bad stuff is pretty easy to do. Staying positive is a little harder. Some Christians are what I like to call “Cow Pie Detectors”…they can find the one cow pie in a 40 acre field of flowers! You have to…
07.09.16 – 07.30.16 As a Christian, we should know why Jesus died for us…but do we ever wonder why He lived as one of us? We desire to understand God, His nature, His thoughts, His heart…what is God really like? We think we know what God wants, but often it’s just what we want. As followers…
06.18.16 – 07.02.16 We spend a lot of time, money and effort to make ourselves better. We are all about self improvement, but there is more to the world than us. Does your heart feel a burden for anyone or anything other than you? As followers of Jesus we must be passionate about the things He…
04.30.16 – 06.04.16 Let’s face it…there’s something wrong with us. No matter how hard we try, we still manage to mess it up one more time. We know better but we do it anyway and then we say…”What was i thinking?” or “What got into me?” The problem is that we focus on the symptoms and…
