How to Love Your Neighbor - February 4, 2024

There is a Bible scholar named Matthew Henry who was once attacked and robbed. In his diary, he explained that he was thankful he had not been robbed before; his money was taken, but not his life. What was taken wasn’t much, and he was the one who was robbed, not the one doing the robbing. While I sincerely appreciate Matthew Henry's attitude of gratitude, it makes me sad to think he did not have a rescuer for whom he could also be thankful. The bad news is, we are surrounded by people in dire situations. The good news is, we can be the heroes they need. This Sunday, let's rediscover how Jesus makes that possible.

The Battleground - Part Four: Know Your Enemy

One of the best strategies that leads to victory is to know your enemy. When you know your enemy’s tactics, strengths, weaknesses and motivations. Satan is our greatest enemy and the more we know about him, the easier it is to recognize his activity and involvement in our lives. This week, as we finish the series, we will look at his alias and how we can identify and counter attack his moves.

The Battleground - Part Three: God's War-drobe

The battleground over our head and heart is best fought using God’s “war-drobe.” Getting battle dressed is part of becoming battle ready. We have armor that we can wear to give us the best chance of a swift battle that ends in victory. This week, our preparation for battle will go to the next level. 

The Battleground - Part Two: Two Realms

Life has two realms, a temporary bodily lifetime realm and the permanent lifetime of our soul. These two realms are also identified as the physical realm and the spiritual realm. The battleground for our heart is a war waged for eternal control. The physical battles aren’t just physical, they are spiritual. This week, we will talk about the significance of these two realms, what is at stake and how to become battle ready.

The Battleground - Part One: Overcoming Strongholds

There is an unseen enemy that has made your heart his battleground. His tactics are trickery and his pursuit for your heart is never-ending. The battleground is a war-zone on your turf. This series will open your eyes beyond the physical realm to the spiritual realm, so you can be victorious over the battles Satan wages for the territory of your heart and soul.

Celebrating CHRISTmas - Part Three: Christmas Eve Services

This holiday season, join us for our four Christmas Eve Services: Saturday, Dec. 23rd at 5:00 PM or Sunday, Dec. 24th at 1:00, 2:15, or 3:30 PM. This service will be full of music and a special message from Pastor Wil. Join us as we celebrate Christmas together!

Celebrating CHRISTmás - Part Two: More Peace

Want or need? When choosing a gift for someone, are you more likely to give them something they need or something they would want? Gift giving always requires making choices. The first Christmas, God chose to give us both, what we want and need — Peace. The gift of God’s peace isn’t just something you receive, it is something you reflect. This week, Pastor Wil is going to share some practical ways we can improve reflecting more peace this Christmas. 

Celebrating CHRISTmás - Part One: More Favor

So often, many of us are after “more” in life. We want to live fuller, happier lives and essentially have more of everything good. In our pursuit of more stuff we can miss pursuing Christ more. This Christmas, if we are intentional we can experience Christ more and when we experience Christ more, we will make Christmas more about Christ.

Improving Your Prayer Life - Part Four: Transformational Prayers

Prayer transforms individuals. A group of transformed people will transform a community, a region, a nation and even the world. You might not think you can have that kind of impact, but you would be surprised what God will do through a person who prays. Join us as we finish up Improving Your Prayer Life.

Improving Your Prayer Life - Part Three: Temptation Liberation

Most of us find it a bit unnatural to pray, “Father, lead us not into temptation.” Do you know why? There is a part of us that WANTS to go to that place. Part of me wants to pray, “Father, lead US not into temptation…because I don’t need Your help getting there since I know the way myself. And when I get there, I don’t want You or anyone else around!” Praying, “Father, lead us not into temptation” is a bit like praying, “Lead us not to where we kinda wanna go.” Can we really pray “Lead us not into temptation” and truly mean it? We can. You can, and this Sunday God is going to show you how. In fact, at the end of the service, most of us are going to pray it like we mean it, and it’s going to be liberating and beautiful.
