Christmas Day Message
Is There Room In Your Heart?
Have you noticed the shelves at the ‘Big Box Stores’ are fully stocked with Storage Tubs? These things are so big, you’d never be able to lift them if you filled them! Why are they everywhere now? People have to figure out how to make room for all the stuff they got for Christmas! Here’s the real question: Is there any room in your life… for Jesus?

Advent – A Season of Expectation – Part 4
We love to be happy & laugh till our face hurts. We love the energy that comes with a blue sky, sunny day. And yet, we all know how some people can steal your happy in a second. Biblical joy is not like that… It’s got the strength of steel & is NOT susceptible to stupidity.

Advent – A Season of Expectation – Part 2
The culture we live in now is similar to what it must have been like in the days preceding David & Goliath. The narrative describes two enemy armies, positioned on opposing sides of a valley, yelling insults & threats. Nothing changes, just more tension from threats & intimidation & fear, day after day. If that’s your story, the Christmas season can be one of apprehension and dread. But God intends the Advent Season to create the excitement of anticipation.

Advent – A Season of Expectation – Part 1
Each Sunday of the Advent season has a Different Theme: Hope, Love, Peace & Joy
Today’s message is focused on one of the hardest things for us to do… Wait.
Our willingness to wait is based on hope. As believers, our hope is based on God, not circumstances. And Hope creates the Anticipation that something good is about to happen.

Humility and Gratitude – Part 4
In his proclamation declaring a National Day of Thanksgiving, George Washington said: “It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God,
to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor.” God wants gratitude to be the motivation for everything we think, say, or do. And He rewards our gratitude with His blessings.

Choosing to Live in Gratitude to God will change the course of our Life. Gratitude turns what we have into enough. Gratitude helps us stop trying to control the outcome. We have to remember, it’s not Happiness that brings Gratitude… it’s Gratitude that brings Happiness.

Humility and Gratitude – Part 1
Nicole Van Groningen, MD, is a doctor of internal medicine and assistant professor of medicine at Cedars-Sinai. “There are many benefits of showing gratitude. Gratitude lowers symptoms of depression, reduces stress, improves relationships, and increases willpower and resilience. It also benefits your physical health as well, improving cardiovascular health, reducing inflammation, improving sleep, reduces chronic pain, and boosts your immune system.” But GRATITUDE is a CHOICE, since being Self-Centered comes more naturally to us! How do we develop this thing called gratitude?

Ordinary Significance
Jason Frisch
We were honored to have Jason Frisch with us. Here is the message “Ordinary Significance”. We all know the story about Saul/Paul but one of the wonderful parts of his story is that we have “ordinary guys” like Ananias that helped to start Paul off on teaching about Jesus?

Sacrifice – Part 3
DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WE DO NOT HAVE VIDEO FOR THIS MESSAGE.
We all know the impact that Guilt can have on our life. GUILT IMPACTS EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIFE: Emotions, Thoughts, Behavior & Physically. By His Grace, God Provides 3 Principles of Sacrifice as a path to Forgiveness. It’s how we RESPOND to the REALIZATION we’ve MESSED UP.

Sacrifice – Part 2
Love is the foundation for the 3 principles of sacrifice. What do a British Prime Minister, Gandhi, a New England Minister, and Jimi Hendrix have in common? They all get credit for: “When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” God wants us to remember when it comes to Faith, Hope & Love- The greatest of these is Love.

We will only become self-controlled, to the extent that we allow God control. Self-Control proclaims that Jesus is our Lord.

What The World Needs Now- Part 8
Gentleness doesn’t come naturally to us. That’s why we tell Toddlers holding a Newborn to “Be Gentle”. You might even say it’s a ‘super’ natural characteristic of God, Himself. Jesus came to teach us about Him.

What The World Needs Now- Part 7
What the World Needs Now is Faithfulness. Christians believe that if Anything can CHANGE THE WORLD… or US, it’s the PRESENCE OF GOD IN US. Galatians 5:22,23 CEV tells us, “God’s Spirit makes us loving, joyful, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle and self-controlled.”

Crave || Anthony Whitley

What The World Needs Now– Part 6
What the World Needs Now is Goodness.
Do you think that people can change? We hesitate because we know that real change is hard! Are you different because of Jesus? I’m not talking about if you think differently… Is your life different? The premise of the Gospel is that we can be changed. As a matter of fact, the expectation of the Gospel is that we will be changed by it.

What The World Needs Now– Part 5
God warned us what the world would be like without His influence in Paul’s letter to a church in Galatia… The result of sin’s control in our lives is clear: committing sexual sins, having no morals, doing all kinds of shameful things, 20 worshiping false gods, witchcraft, hating people, causing trouble, jealousy, anger, selfishness, causing arguments and division, 21jealousy, drunken wild parties and doing other things like this. 5:19-21a
KINDNESS stands out in a world like that, just like a city on a hill, whose light can’t be hidden!

We live in a world that is desperate for peace… “It can’t get any better than this” and “I never want to leave.” But it never lasts, does it? You can’t always be there, can you? So, how can we live a “PEACE-FULL Life” and not just “PEACE-FILLED Moments”? That’s what our world needs now!

The 4th of July is a Celebration of FREEDOM, summarized by “Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness”
We may celebrate the holiday, but our lives are more regulated by rules, regulations & laws than ever…
That’s what makes this reminder of our FREEDOM in Galatians 5:22,23 so refreshing when Paul states:
“There is no law against these things…” love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

These are the things that God knows we CRAVE… that God knows we NEED… things only come

“Why is God so UNFAIR?” Is God really unfair? Actually, yes… He is!
What do you do when God doesn’t do what YOU thing He should do?
Real Life creates Real Questions that leave us searching for answers.
Jesus gives us some of those answers in Matthew 20, the text for today’s message.

Do you know someone who is “Hard to Love”? Jesus made a difference in this life by loving those ‘Hard-to-love-people’ One-at-a-Time!

Are You Praying it Safe? – Part 3
Most of our prayers tend to be pretty “Safe Prayers.” We will ask God to bless us, protect us, forgive us, and help us. This is because real ‘Life-Changing’ prayers can be pretty intimidating as it requires transparency with God. If you keep on “Praying it Safe” how will that help you grow spiritually to live the ways of God?

Keep Dreaming
Anthony Whitley
Over the past 22 months, many of the dreams people had were challenged at the least and at the worst dismantled. Paul tells the Christians in Ephesus to keep dreaming because the God we serve is bigger than any obstacle the world can put in front of us.

Jesus coming in a manger… not exactly the way we would expect the way that God would come to the Earth and be with us. Then after spending time with us he ends up leaving us. Why would He do that? And yet we end up looking to other things besides Him to try to understand who God is. Whether that be our circumstances or things around us we often get the wrong picture of who God is.

What do we need to do to gain that peace that is so vital to us. We take a good look at these characteristics during part four of our message, “We Need Christmas.”
