Is It the Wise Thing To Do? - New Years Day Message

Please let us know you're listening: Digital Connection Card
The one big question when making choices in a new year..."Is it the wise thing to do?"
For many of us, when they hear the word "wisdom" we tend to picture an old man with a white beard or one of the characters from Star Wars or Dr. Strange.
The reality is that wisdom is rooted in the character of God. It is also very practical and has huge benefits for our lives today. Wisdom is seeing life clearly through the lens of Scripture.
(Note this is an edit of a message from 1.2.21.)

CHRISTmas - When God Disappoints...?

Please let us know you're listening: Digital Connection Card
With all that’s happened these past two years, peace may be the last thing some of us are feeling. But the Bible tells us we can have peace despite what we’re going through.
Have you ever felt like God has let you down? Like His plans don’t match yours—or like He doesn’t even have a plan for you at all? We hear about peace on earth this time of year, but you might be feeling anything but peace.
But sometimes God interrupts our plans because He has a purpose.
Our disappointments might be divine appointments from Him.

Please let us know you're listening: Digital Connection Card
With all that’s happened these past two years, peace may be the last thing some of us are feeling. But the Bible tells us we can have peace despite what we’re going through.
Have you ever felt like you’re waiting on God? His timing might always be perfect, but from where we sit, it can also be frustrating. It can even feel like sometimes, He’s forgotten us. This weekend, let’s look at what happens when God’s timing makes us pause, reflect, and depend on Him.

CHRISTmas - Are you Offended?

Please let us know you're listening: Digital Connection Card
With all that’s happened these past two years, peace may be the last thing some of us are feeling. But the Bible tells us we can have peace despite what we’re going through.
Jesus didn’t call us to be right, He called us to be loving. So while it’s easy to be offended by what we see in the world, we’re called to forgive. We're going to talk about how to do that this weekend.

Love God Love People - Love Sticks!

Please let us know you're listening: Digital Connection Card
No matter the circumstances we find ourselves in, we are meant to love God and love people.
We learn in the book of 1 Corinthians that love is permanent, greater than even faith and hope in its longevity and durability. Because of this, we must sow love into the people around us knowing that it will outlast every other investment we could ever make here on earth.
