Let's CELEBRATE together!! What are we celebrating? Thanks for asking! We are going to celebrate the amazing life change that God did during Kidz Camp. We cannot wait to share with you all the wins we experienced this week!

Are you struggling? Are you in the middle of something and you don't see a way out? Looking for hope? Looking for answers? Looking for relief? Hold on, the comma is coming!

What does it mean to love your neighbor? It's one of the greatest commandments, but it can be difficult. How do we love the people around us even if we don't like them or they hurt us? What can we do to love our neighbor as ourselves?

We often hear the phrase, "Spend time with God," or "Quiet time," but what does that mean? How do we spend time with a God we can't see? How do we know how to have this time? What do we do during it? Well, it may be easier than you think. It's not about a pattern, it's about building a passion for the One you spend the time with.…

How do you hear a God you can't see? How do you know what he's telling you during the course of everyday life? The truth is, He's speaking and it may be in ways we're not paying attention to.

The topic of prayer can raise a lot of questions. Why do I need to pray if God already knows? How do I pray without losing my attention? When should I be praying? What should I pray about? All of those questions have answers and when you know them, it changes your prayer life.

What does it mean for us to know Christ? What does it do for us and in our lives? It’s an undeserved privilege and amazing promise. A privilege that we do nothing to earn but get to keep.

Is there some recurring temptation, some vulnerability, some weakness that you need God’s help to overcome? If you are alive, the answer is probably yes to that question. So, how do we resist temptation? How do we protect our minds and guard our thoughts?

Temptation is defined as, "Anything that promises forever satisfaction at the cost of obedience to God.” Let's talk about four truths about temptation and what we can do when we inevitably face temptations.

Defining moments usually come when we least expect them. When they do, what should our response be? Follow God's lead and burn the plow!

What do you do when God doesn’t meet your expectations? When that happens, it can be discouraging and even cause us to doubt ourselves and God. What if God doesn’t want to meet your expectations, what if he wants to do something so much greater?

What do you lack? What do you seem to not have enough of? The truth is, we all feel like we’re lacking the things we need the most at times. When things are lacking, where we go to get them makes a big difference. Let’s go to the source.

Relationships are messy. Others betray us and abandon us and we do the same to others. Relationships are important too, though. How do we react when others let us down? What do we have when it seems like other people take so much from us? Let's learn what we truly need and know that... that's enough.…

Whether you realize it or not, you are in a constant state of receiving messages & mental packages. The thoughts you have, the people you believe, and the words you read are sending you a message of peace and promise or of pain and lies. Which messages will you pay attention to?

Have you ever heard Christians talk about "strongholds"? This is a big one! so, let’s define strongholds. It literally means, “a fortified prison; a strong castle.” It’s not a physical prison but a mental prison. Where are you locked in? What lies are you believing?

Have you ever noticed how some Christians seem to speak a whole different language? Have you ever heard someone talk about a hedge or wall of protection? Let's talk about that phrase and what it really means.

There's almost an entire set of vocabulary that church people use. We throw words around that we've always heard but rarely fully understand. What does it mean to “plead the blood" of Jesus over someone or something? We're looking at how this phrase plays a role in spiritual warfare.

A lot of people know who Jesus is... Well, most people know the name, but do they really know about Him? Because of Jesus, qualities like humility and forgiveness, which were little regarded in most of the ancient world, became almost universally admired. He cared about people. He valued people. He did this without thinking about what they could do…

We all have a desire to be fulfilled, to be of value, and to live with a purpose. The problem is, we're often fed the lie that in order to be fulfilled, we have to be about ourselves. What would John the Baptist tell us about living a life of purpose? Let's take a look at his defining moment to see.

We all have a story. Our story is unique to us and is undeniable to the people who hear it. Paul's story has one of a tough past but a powerful future. Yours is unique, too. What's your story? Don't take it for granted, and don't keep it quiet.

Where are you sitting? It's not about the chair you're in, but what your life is centered around. The truth is, where we find ourselves is often a product of what's around us and who's around us. It's time we wake up and take the right seat.

Is your marriage truly characterized by faith, or has life just kind of taken over? Our expectations of relationships don’t always line up with reality, and marriage is no different. If you look at your life and you think this is different than I had planned, then the story of Abraham and Sarah will speak to you.…

Who we believe we are determines what we think about and what we focus on. If we're going to walk in the freedom and peace Jesus has for us, we have to focus and think about what is true and right. We have to have our minds set in the right place. When it comes to our focus, it’s time for us to set it and forget it.…

Is there an area of your life where you’re saying, “My God is King,” and yet you’re doing what’s right in your own eyes? Is there some area of your life where you’re claiming, yes, “I am a follower of Jesus,” and yet you’re following your own truth and not His truth? To get to where God wants you to be, you have to walk away from a place that is no…

Everyone wants to feel wanted and to feel like what they do matters. It can feel like an uphill battle looking for something or someone to make us feel significant. Fortunately, our significance doesn't depend on how we see ourselves but on Jesus' love for us, and His call to us gives us a chance to break free and find true significance and meaning…

What lies might you be believing? The devil is the ultimate deceiver, and he can cause you to doubt the goodness of God through trials or disappointments. These lies can easily lead you to believe that you can't trust God or that he is not good or that he is not in control. These lies can rob you of the goodness God has for you.…

God made you for a purpose and often that purpose will be birthed through a problem. So, what problem are you having right now that could point you to your purpose? Maybe the purpose of your pain is so that you can bless, encourage, or offer hope to others experiencing that same problem and pain.

Have you started 2024 with something that you want to change in your life? There’s always something that we would like to change about ourselves. Where do you want a new beginning? Where do you need a do-over? With Jesus, there is always hope. God is The God of new beginnings. He can wipe your slate clean.…

The treadmill of life. The keeping up. The meeting expectations. Even the people who are closest to us can wear us out. The demands placed on us today are greater than ever before. We need rest. How do we get it in a world where everything is about how we look and what we do? When we come to Jesus, we can have the rest.…

You may have heard the saying “life is a race.” So, how do we run the race of life? As we enter 2024, let’s learn what it looks like to run with faith.

What are you wanting this Christmas? Not just stuff to put under a tree, but what do you really want? What do you need? The truth is that everything we truly want is found in one gift.

When you think about Priceless Gifts, especially at Christmas time you would naturally think about the Three Wise Men who came to Jesus bearing gifts. These gifts were not only valuable, but were also incredibly practical, and deeply spiritual.

Life is not always measured by time. It’s measured in moments. Moments that can be priceless gifts. We don't know what God might do in us or through us in one moment of obedience. When it comes to the life of Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, all we have are a few moments. But moments that measured his life well.…

What can you give to God that he doesn't already have? What do we have to offer a God who is the Master of the universe? We have this amazing gift of praise. When we see him for who he truly is, we have to praise Him; it's all we can do.

Are you full of enthusiasm for the things of God or do you find yourself more spiritually comfortable? Are you charging into spiritual battle knowing that the Lord your God is with you, trusting that He’ll never leave you? Are you striving toward your call or drifting to your own comfort?

We’re all addicted to something and negativity is one addiction that tries to rule our lives. We need to be able to stay positive, so today, we’re going to talk about gratitude. So, if you find yourself in a bit of a pit, maybe living with anxiety, complaining, bitterness, or a little negativity then hang on, because today we’re going to see that g…

With all the changes in this world, it can be really hard to know what your role is as a parent. How do you know if you are succeeding? How do you know if you hit the bullseye? We all need some clarification and the Bible is the perfect place to go to for direction.

Blended families make up almost half of the families in America today. As a blended family, what are some principles you can live by? Let's talk about those.

They're just hypocrites. I bet you've thought or even said that about someone who claimed to be a Christian but didn't live it out. They show a side of themselves that just doesn't seem like it goes along with what a Christian should do. What does Jesus say about hypocrisy? He says, “I’ll see you on the other side.”…

Fear. It's real and it's prevalent in our lives. It happens in a variety of ways and causes a variety of responses. What does Jesus say about our fears? What does he do to help us through them? We may be hanging by a thread, but that's plenty when Jesus steps in.

We owe a balance. It’s not something that can be paid from our bank account. We owe a debt of sin. What does Jesus say about sin? What does he do with this balance that we owe? We need to check our balance and see how Jesus has canceled our debt.

I've done all I can do. Ever made that statement? The truth is, sometimes things happen to us that aren't our fault and we do all we can to make it through. What do you do, though, when you've done all you can and you're out of resources and ideas... when you're a basket case and see no hope?

We pray our hearts out. We ask God to change things. We beg him to move. After all of our begging, it seems like He does nothing to answer us. When we feel our prayers are going unanswered, it shakes our faith. We get to the place of asking, "What's the point in praying?” if it doesn't do anything. There's more to it than that, though.…

There are so many misconceptions about prayer. Not only about what prayer is but how to pray. Every religion has some type of prayer ritual, but for Christians, it’s more than a ritual; it’s an intimate conversation. How do we pray? We pray as Jesus taught his disciples when they asked him, “Lord, teach us to pray.”…

According to studies, most of us pray at least every now and then. While the content of our prayers varies, one thing is consistent: most of us struggle to pray consistently or with joy. Prayer is a powerful weapon for a believer in Jesus. Let's learn how to talk with Jesus.

If you want to be prepared for the future, for the next season, for what’s next, then you’ve got to think ahead. As you think about your future, do you see red flags? Are there signs of danger ahead? Are there things that wise friends have pointed out that you need to give serious consideration?

When our lives are being tossed to and fro by all of life’s transitions, we may find ourselves motion sick and in need of something to anchor ourselves to. We have an anchor of stability in Christ Jesus. He is the most powerful anchor for our motion-sick souls.

Preparation is an important part of getting the most out of life…getting the most out of the different seasons of life. Is it possible to prepare for the next season? Are there really things that we can do now to prepare us for what’s next?

All families are invited to celebrate the life change that took place during Kidz Camp 2023. Whether or not you have kids, there will be something for everyone, and we can't wait to take this opportunity to celebrate the wins from Kidz Camp as a church.

The troubles of life. Some are our fault, some are not. We all go through them. However, we don't all go through them the same. Let's take a look at what troubles and trials look like in our lives and see how to see them all, not as a curse, but a blessing. They have a purpose.
