Do You Hear the Music?As Christmas quickly approaches, we find ourselves inundated with music, decorations, dinners, and family. But in all of the noise do we hear the story of Christ in our hearts? Do we truly hear His call in each carol sung, ornament neatly hung, or gathering? In the first message in our series “Do You Hear” we look at three popular carols and reflect on the meaning of each.

Jesus Leads the Way
Christians have no greater model for evangelism than that of Jesus Christ. We can look at His life and ministry and clearly see His approach to reaching the lost. In this message we look at three principles we can learn from Him; 1) Jesus’ life was not separate from His ministry, 2) Jesus looked for lost souls, not sinners, and 3) Jesus broke down societal barriers - Nov 16, 2014No Greater Love

Shadows
Each of us cast a shadow when standing in the sun, but when there are multiple light sources more than one shadow is cast upon the ground. When walking in the light of the Son we can easily identify who we are in Christ. When we walk in the light of circumstances, pain, or worldly opinion it becomes harder to recognize who we really are. - Nov 2, 2014Redemption Foretold
Redemption ForetoldThe promise of a Messiah was the direct result of a loving God who is intricately involved in the lives of His creation. God meticulously orchestrated events through the entirety of the Old Testament to foreshadow the need for a Savior and His substitutionary atonement for mankind.
- Oct 26, 2014Hell: It’s Real!
Hell: It’s Real!Satan has worked tirelessly since Eden to convince mankind there are no consequences for the rejection of God. He has managed to convince generations hell is a place made up to scare children into behaving and to control the weak minded. The Bible clearly teaches a place exists right now, where those who reject God will be sent until the final judgment; a place of physical and mental torments. Once judged, they will be sentenced to the lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels to spend eternity dying, but unable to find relief. The good news is, God prepared a way so no one has to spend eternity tormented, but it requires belief in Jesus Christ and submission to Him as Lord of your life.

Enter The SerpentAs a society we have convinced ourselves the great advances in science and technology are somehow a barometer of the morality of man. The hard truth is as we progress scientifically and technologically we are actually regressing morally. Our world is but a shadow of the intended purpose of God’s creation. The good news is that this world is not all there is! We have a Redeemer Who offers real peace, real joy, and real hope in spite of crime, sickness, and natural disasters.

I AM the True Vine
Though Israel was the vine planted by God (Ps. 80:8), they had become rebellious and idolatrous; they were a counterfeit (Jer. 2:21). When Jesus told His disciples He was the True Vine, He was emphatically stating to them that only identification with Him mattered. Their nationality as Israelites was secondary to their relationship with Him. We too, are to identify ourselves with Christ and abide with Him. Everything else is to be secondary to our relationship with Him. - Sep 21, 2014I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life
I AM the Way, the Truth, and the LifeWith Jesus’ death close at hand, He takes the time at the end of the Passover supper to give the disciples some encouragement. Knowing full well what they are about to experience, He tells them to not be worried; He is leaving to prepare a place for them. And if He leaves to prepare a place for them He will return for them.
