The Prospector & Stephen King
Are you struggling to find contentment in your life? Do you feel like you are always chasing after the next thing, but never truly satisfied? In a world that is constantly telling us we need more to be happy, it can be difficult to find true contentment. In this message we will look at what Jesus and the Apostle Paul teach about contentment, possessions and success.
Overflow: From Scarcity to Generosity
Jesus knew that many people have a scarcity mentality. Remember when, Jesus fed the crowd with a bit of fish and bread? And the apostles who represent a worldview of scarcity, advised Jesus against feeding the crowd. “But how will two fish and five loaves be enough for so many?” We see scarcity but Jesus sees abundance.
I Love My Church: Re-salinization
Jesus tells us that Christians are like salt. Not because we can enhance a great ribeye steak but because we can make the kingdom of God known. But Christians can experience desalinization. And when this happens, Jesus says, “…but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored?” So how can we remain “salty” Christians?
Seagulls & An Open Trunk
When it comes to comfort and care the early church of the first century knew how to help one another, and love one another. In this message we learn from the early church three keys to be a more loving church and we learn to banish the seagulls.
I Love My Church: Like a Superhero
If you are a follower of Jesus, did you know that God has given you superpowers so that you can be a superhero? We’re not saying He’s made it possible for you to become famous and have movies about you, but we think part of “loving your church” is being the hero God has made you be. And the hero God has made you be has superpowers. This message highlights the gifts God has given you.
I Love My Church: Crashing Through the Fence
In the Old Testament, people worshipped differently than we do today. Typically, they would show up at the temple in Jerusalem, make a sacrifice, and ask for God’s favor. Then they hoped for the best. There was a great distance between the worshiper and God. But Jesus changed how we worship God. This message will explore how Jesus broke down the barrier between God and us and our neighbor.
I Love My Church
Some people treat the Church like a restaurant. If the experience isn’t to their liking, they’ll go somewhere else or not go at all. This is beyond unfortunate. It sets up expectations for the Church that it was never intended to fulfill. In this message, we will look at how Jesus intended the Church to be based on relationships that connect us.
20 + C + M + B + 23
Who were these men from the East coming to find the Christ Child? And what important message to they convey to us today in the 21st century?
Answered by a Baby’s Cry
Sometimes, characters from nativity displays go missing. Unfortunately, nativity theft is a common crime. Can you guess which character is stolen the most? The baby Jesus is the character that’s most frequently stolen. In that case, we ask the question, where is Jesus? That’s a great question to ask during Christmas Eve worship. Has Jesus gone missing from our lives?
