In this second message on creation, we will see that there are great scientists who have also been great people of faith. "Smart" people can be Christ followers. In this message we will also get into what Genesis 1 says about creation and see that it makes a lot of sense.

Creation: Fact or Fiction part 2

In this second Pillar of the Faith message we will look into creation. We will see that God is revealed as Creator throughout the Bible.  We will also see that evolution, as an explanation for the origin of humans, takes just as much faith to believe as does special creation by God. In our times we need to turn to a Creator God Who knows best how we should do life. 

Creation: Fact or Fiction

This week we will look at the Christian teaching of the doctrine of Trinity as we explore the implications of the this teaching for our daily lives. 

Pillars of the Faith: The Trinity

In this final example in our series "It's Ordinary to be Extraordinary", Esther illustrates that God's people are to obey no matter what the cost. Like Esther we are "for such a time as this" followers of God who are called to follow no matter what may be the consequences. Her story should inspire us to new levels of obedience.

Esther: Obedience at Any Cost

This week we will be challenged to live courageously like Josiah. Josiah had the courage to live out a godly legacy and renew spiritual health in the lives of his people.

Do you long for God to move mightily in your life? In this message we will see,  from the example of Hezekiah, how to do great exploits in our faith. 

Hezekiah: Great Exploits

In this message we will look into what it means and how to be a "valiant fighter" for the cause of Jesus. We all have our own personal spiritual battles to engage in. Additionally, God's people are called to be courageous and engaged in the spiritual battles of our times.

Benaiah: Valiant Fighter

This year's theme for our Sunday messages is "Deployed as Disciples". This week we begin a 6-week series, "Its Ordinary to be Extraordinary", looking at biblical examples of followers who illustrate big discipleship qualities for us to emulate. In this week's message we will see that the ordinary nomadic Rechabites were extraordinary in following their ancestor's instruction. God calls us to this kind of loyalty to His instructions.

Rechabites: Loyal Followers

We have the armor, the weapons, and the people, now we need to fight for our families and homes.

FIGHT!

On this Pentecost Sunday we remember that God has called His people, empowered by the Holy Spirit, to be missionally minded. We are part of His movement to reach the whole world.

Other Regions and Beyond

In this final message from Ephesians we will see that 3 words—sit, walk and stand—are useful in remembering some of the big ideas of this epistle. God has given us spiritual armor; understanding each piece and its function equips the follower to stand fast in their faith. 

Battle Readiness, Pt 2

As we close out our study from Ephesians we are brought to the climactic thought that we are to put off living as though this physical world is all there is, and put on the spiritual armor of God and engage in the spiritual realm. In this first message of two, our focus is on the truth that we battle not flesh and blood but spiritual forces of evil. 

Battle Readiness, Pt. 1

Part of the redemption that the follower of Jesus is to experience is the restoration of family relationships. But it doesn't end there, beyond family dynamics, it should affect all relationships. In this message we will learn some essentials for right relationship with God and how this is to be the model for training our children.
