Guest Speaker Pastor Tim Walk brings a message from Mark 1:25-39 as we see Jesus sneaking away fro rest at just the time he should be capitalizing on his newfound fame…he has come unhinged!
Our actions can tend to be as ugly as our Christmas sweaters, but God calls us to greater than that, God calls us to love and to allow God’s love to overflow from us into the lives of others.
Why do you do what you do? Jesus is more often concerned about the heart behind your actions than your actions themselves because we can to do the right thing for the wrong reason. The Christmas season, make Jesus your motivation – the reason why you do what you do.
Often times the people closest to us bear the brunt of the ugliness that comes our mouths. But as a people of Jesus, we are to be the transmitters of joy and love to others. This does not mean that we can’t be truthful with people and have difficult conversations, but it does mean that…
Untangling Christmas lights is one thing, untangling our minds from negativity to take on joyfulness in the Christmas season is quite another thing. The Apostle Paul gives us a command to rejoice, no matter what our circumstances so that we can have peace in our hearts and in our minds in Christ Jesus.
We often try to create political solutions for spiritual problems, but Jesus brings spiritual solutions fo political problems. Jesus’ kingdom is not of this world and therefore political and geographic boundaries can not be placed upon his kingdom because Jesus comes straight to our hearts to change lives.
Sometimes its hard to wait, but it is in the waiting that we are properly formed…Reggie Byrd gives us a challenge to wait, like Jesus waited to bring the miracle for Lazarus and his family.
Do you wonder or worry about the future? Does anxiety find you at those week moments at night where you are unsure what what will happen next or what you should do? Allyssa Graves brings a message of hope and inspiration for what to do when you are anxious about the future.
Have you ever failed at anything? This message is for those who have failed and feel like a failure – this is not your identity! You are not alone, we have all failed in one way or another and even the disciples failed consistently, but it was not their identity and it doesn’t have to…
Often we don’t feel worthy of the responsibility God has given us. Join Reggie Byrd as he talks about what’s been keeping him up at night.
