Fund the Need – We are rich when we have more than we need. It’s not necessarily about extreme wealth or an opulent lifestyle. It’s simply having enough to share. The Bible says God makes us rich so that we can share with others. As we demonstrate generosity, God promises to bless us even more. Hear our earlier messages in this series and other ser…

Meet the Need – We will never be all that God has called us to be until we begin to serve others. We don’t have to be superstars, but we must be intentional and faithful. We’ll take a quick look today at how our serving spreads God’s grace in the church, in the community, and around the world. Hear our earlier messages in this series and other seri…

Change of Circumstances – In Acts chapter 12, Peter is miraculously released from prison, and James is beheaded. Why did God seemingly deliver one and not the other? Why does God sometimes intervene in our circumstances, and not other times? We talk about that today. And don’t miss the end of the service where Doris Thompson shares about her miracu…

A Change of Allegiance – Being good isn’t good enough. In the book of Acts, Cornelius was a good man, a God-fearing man, but he did not know Jesus. God sent Peter to Cornelius so he could hear and accept the good news of Jesus for himself. Cornelius offers a key reminder that being a good person isn’t enough. Only Jesus saves.

A Change of Attitude – Is the glass half full? Is the glass half empty? The optimist / pessimist debate has been going on since nearly the beginning of time.

A Change of Heart – Just as a caterpillar goes through metamorphosis to become a butterfly, God is working daily to transform us into the image of Christ. Saul of Tarsus experienced that. Confusion and helplessness formed God’s chrysalis for his profound transformation. Hear our earlier messages in this series and other series at our Messages page.…

Vocational Boundaries – To some people, WORK is a 4-letter word. To others, it’s the most important thing in their lives, and even defines them as a person. Over and over in the book of Proverbs, we’re reminded that work does have tremendous value. The Bible even suggests that work can be an act of worship. We’ll unpack that today. Hear our earlier…

Spiritual Boundaries – The New Testament book of James says that we must draw close God if we want Him to draw close to us. He is always near, but we are only close if we choose to surrender to Him fully. The book of Proverbs in the Old Testament offers advice on how to do that.
