As a family, we seek to create relationships and foster growth to trust in God and pursue His loving purpose for our lives. Join us as every week we go through topical messages that help us grow as Christians and understand God's word.

Jesus last days on Earth were filled with stress, lies, and tense discussions. Yet, we see our Savior handle these moments, not in a panic, but with grace and strength. In this message, we will watch how Jesus handled the tough moments in life, and the example He sets for us today. ——————————————————————————————— Connect with us on Social Media: We…

It is Resurrection season and we begin our new series “Journey to the Cross” with Jesus locked in on entering into Jerusalem to finish the mission. It all begins with excitement as people celebrate His entering the city with shouts of Hosanna. But that will quickly fade as the confrontation with the city leadership escalates with Him ruining their …

As a follower of Christ whether we know it or not, whether we believe it or not, whether we’ve engage in it or not…we are in a war. And we are all soldiers. At least we are supposed to be. As we conclude The Letter to Ephesus, Paul gives us vivid physical imagery to help us understand and know how to engage a spiritual enemy. And thank God we have …

We have been watching a cultural redefinition of marriage for many years now. But it doesn’t matter how many times a redefinition comes down the pike, we stick with God’s original definition, which is the only definition that is true and that matters. During this message, I tackle the problem of two specific redefinitions that either hinder or comp…

In a world that tries to divide people, Paul calls us to be united in the church. That can be difficult, especially on a personal level. During this message, we are going to see how Scripture gives us practical ways to keep us united, and why it is so important, especially today.——————————————————————————————— Connect with us on Social Media: Websi…

The Ideologies and ideas today that seek to unify us actually divide us. We live in a blind world with the blind leading the blind and that is not surprising since the Devil is also called the god of this world and we know that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. But what if God had the answer to a divided people? Well He does, and d…

I think everyone loves a story where someone rises up against all odds and changes their life for the better. In these cases it is the person who does it on their own with typically no mention of God in the mix. In Ephesians chapter 2 we are going to experience the spiritual Rags to Riches story we as followers of Christ have all experienced, and c…

We begin a new series based in the N.T. letter of Ephesians. It is a great letter that is broken in two pieces; the first half has to do with our calling and the second with our conduct as followers of Christ. Paul is the writer and in this opening teaching he has much to say about “Who we are in Christ.” To many people walk around wondering who th…

Many people have a fear of death. We saw this when death came close to all of us during the pandemic. But death is an interesting inevitability since it seems to shut the door on existence…or does it? Could it be that there is more to life than what we are experiencing now? Jesus told Nicodemus that He descended from heaven to this earth. That tell…

The problem of evil in this world has plagued every last one of us. And the big question that one might face concerning evil is, “If God is all loving and powerful why doesn’t He do something about evil?” It is a great question that can definitely be answered. But just because there are answers to the question, doesn’t mean everyone will like or ag…

It’s fascinating to me that one of the things we really want to develop as a follower of Christ is a prayer life, yet some still have questions on how to pray. It is understandable that everyone needs to be educated on the dynamics of prayer especially since Jesus took time to teach His first followers how to pray. And since prayer is a vital part …

We begin a new series called “Honest Answers” with a topic I’m very much interested in, ANGER. I’m a person who carried his fair share of anger for years of my life and I have counseled and observed anger in many others. And many of the those others are Christians. Yes, that’s right, just because we are Christians doesn’t mean we are exempt from an…

The Generations team is hosting their annual “Generations Take Over”. We have our Kids Pastor Bri and Generations Pastor, Charlie Headley, sharing a message on "How Are We Investing?" As we get ready to end this year and get ready to go into the new year we want to make sure we are investing in what ultimately matters. —————————————————————————————…

All-important arrivals carry with them much impact. I can think back to each of my six Grandchildren’s birth and the joy and impact they had on my and my wife’s life. One thing that happened was, there arrival impacted my home. I thought we were ready to get rid of things and streamline our lives. Well, that plan went out the window. The arrival of…

I do enjoy Sci-fi movies. Now some of my favorites are when aliens from somewhere in the universe attempt to invade the human race. But have you ever thought of Jesus as an invader of the human race? An invader that didn’t come to destroy us, like in the movies, and take the planet over, but one that came to invade our life of sin to erase it and s…

All things with function typically have many moving parts. Those parts must be moving in sync with all the other parts for it to work. It was no different with the coming of the Messiah Jesus Christ. In this message we will look at the Prophetic Playbook and how the Holy Spirit orchestrated all the moving parts to fulfill all the prophecies written…

When God, our Creator, does something, He typically partners with His creation, us. That in and of itself is an absolutely unfathomable thought. That the Creator of the universe is willing to partner with us to carry out His will on earth. But that is what He does. And that is what He did in the life of a young probably teenage girl named Mary when…

I find it impossible to reconcile a stingy spirit with being a Christian. After all didn’t God give His best to us in the giving of His Son? In this message we will look at the transformation power of the Holy Spirit to change a heart. And the first manifestation of that changed heart is, generosity. That is not a coincidence. It is a byproduct of …

The longer we walk as a Christian the easier it is to cease sharing the Gospel. In fact we might have stopped even looking for any opportunity to share the Good News with others. The problem with this kind of thinking is, it does not line up with what Jesus told us. It’s not even close to how the first followers of Christ carried themselves. In thi…

Have you ever felt like there wasn’t enough time, that you wish you could just make more of it? Time is the most precious commodity we have, so how we use it matters. But what does scripture say about our time, and how can we use it generously and yet still be good stewards? Those are the questions we are going to tackle this Sunday at New Beginnin…

We begin a new series on Generosity and generosity has many avenues. The first we will explore is being generous with forgiveness. C.S. Lewis said, “Everyone thinks that forgiveness is a great idea until they have something to forgive.” I have found that is true about humanity, but totally contrary to the heart of God. Jesus came and sacrificed His…

As we conclude Galatians Paul will continue with the Spirit led life with specific practical applications and evidences of a Spirit led person. It is one thing to say I live by the Spirit and it is another thing to actually live what is described as a Spirit led life. Paul will give us a clear view again of what that life looks like. He will lead o…

I think all believers know that we have a daily internal struggle. A battle of our flesh and spirit. A battle to do right not wrong. In Galatians 5 we quickly find it is a battle of appetites. My flesh, the old me and my born again spirit, the new me have differing desires and appetites, and that is the core of the war raging in us. Paul is going t…

Many women are looking for a man to marry, say they are looking for Mr. Right. And rightly so, because you don’t want Mr. Wrong or even Mr. Maybe. As we progress through Galatians in Paul’s defense of “salvation by Grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone” we find Paul now pointing to Mr. Right: Jesus. When it comes to the salvation of manki…

I really admire Paul’s brilliance. And in chapter 3 of Galatians it is on display again. As he battles the Judaizers attempts to infiltrate the Gospel with works of the law, Paul throws out logical and brilliant reasons as he defends “salvation by Grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.” This is something all followers of Christ need to …
  continue reading
 
As Paul defends Grace through Faith we find the lies and fears of the Judaizers attempting to infiltrate the Christianity with “salvation by works of the law” exposed. Some call them legalists. One part of this message is sharing what a legalist in a church attempts to do and how they can kill faith in people if allowed to push their false teaching…

Letters are often such a joy to get, because they can be personable and you know they took effort and time. Pauls letter to the church in Galatia is the same. He expresses his astonishment that the Galatians have so quickly turned to a different gospel, emphasizing the importance of remaining faithful to the true message of salvation by grace throu…

Maybe the most sensitive of topics is giving. It can elicit a joyous “amen” to an angry, “the church just wants money” and everything in between. But do you know what the different responses reveal? The condition of a person’s heart. Jesus said, “Where your treasure is there your heart will be also.” So if you really think about it, giving to God a…

I thought about some of the things I’ve done alone. I’ve eaten at restaurants alone. I’ve gone to the movies alone. I have visited churches on vacation alone. I have left home alone to study out of town for two and three days. I have no problem doing things alone…but I wouldn’t want to always do things alone. I found that I am human and need to han…

Taking a vacation is always fun and relaxing. It is a time to refresh. Vacations contain the element of slowing down and letting others serve us. There is nothing wrong with this, in fact there is a lot right about this. But our life is not a continuous vacation, no matter how much we wish it was. Our life, the life of a follower of Christ is that …

We embark on a new series today called, “Belong” This is a timely series due to the reality that technology enables us to, well, cocoon ourselves. We less and less need to be physically present anywhere. That is not always a good thing since we were created to be social beings created by God who is a social being, being part of the Father Son and H…

As we conclude our series on spiritual disciplines, we want to take you into the world of fasting. One does not have to read deep into the gospels to see that Jesus in preparation for his battle in the desert, chose to fast. Fasting is also something that Jesus said His followers would be called to do after He was gone. This Sunday we want to educa…

Silence and Solitude are some of the most important yet neglected Spiritual Disciplines. It is vital for our spiritual lives, however, to take time to be alone and quiet before God. In this sermon, we want to give you some practical ways to do just that and the blessings of implementing these Spiritual Disciplines. ——————————————————————————————— C…

Worship is something that involves our entire life. We typically think of it as singing to God, and it is that, but it is not limited to that only. It involves worshipping and exalting God through our actions, tithing, treatment of others, loving our spouses, etc. etc. All of those and more are done as worship to God to glorify His Name. In this me…

We now enter into four weeks of spiritual disciplines from scripture designed to bring us into a fuller walk with Christ. We begin today with prayer. Jesus was asked by his already praying disciples, “Lord teach us to pray.” This means prayer has an element of learning and growth. We could be missing some of more important prayer pieces and today w…

God is doing something new in the city of Jerusalem through the people. The catalyst of it all is a man named Nehemiah who leads the building process to restore the wall and the gates that have been damaged for over one hundred years. But there are enemies who are opposed to the rebuilding. In this teaching we will examine how to deal with oppositi…

The story of Gideon is one of a man finding his identity, not in himself, but in what the Lord sees in him. Often we struggle with the battle of who we are. Gideon shows that when we trust God with our identity, we can overcome so much more than we think we can. To be disciplined takes effort, and creating good habits are both hard to start, and ev…

We are all tempts in life. Some of us took over a business from our parents. Most of us stepped into a position vacated by a retiree. We are simply carrying on what someone took over from someone else or began. Being a follower of Christ is no different. We began with Acts 1:1 a year ago with Dr. Luke’s statement: “All that Jesus BEGAN to do and TE…

We’ve all been in life storms…many of them. Paul has been in many storms as he spreads the gospel. Today find him in the biggest storm of his life, and he’s in the predicament because of someone else’s bad decision. But what is most impressive is what he does in the storm. His courage, calm, and hope in Jesus are on full display. Someone once said,…

I love Father’s Day because I get to celebrate Fathers and take you into the world of that dad in your home. And besides, I am one of them. Your Father is a unique breed. He is not like your mother. He’s a guy, he’s your dad. But have you ever wondered what makes him tick? Have you ever wondered what he was like before you came around versus what h…

As we continue to travel through Acts we find one of the reoccurring themes is persecution. Paul is being continuously persecuted for his faith in the Resurrected Jesus. He would one day write in I Timothy 3:12 “Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” He is telling us what to expect so as not to be surprised when i…

Some decisions should not be delayed. Especially the decision to follow Christ. As we look into Acts 24 we find Paul still in prison but given the opportunity to speak to the governor Felix and his wife Drusilla about righteousness, self-control and judgment to come. Felix delays his decision to follow Christ and we never read that he gave his life…

There are many seasons in our life as followers of Christ that we need encouragement. In this message we find Paul has been going through some difficult times. He is currently on trial, they strike him and no one is getting saved. So what does Jesus do? He cheers Paul up in three specific ways and the three ways Jesus does this is exactly the three…

Preaching the Resurrection, Paul has been rushed by the mob, beaten, arrested, and false charges brought against him by liars. But it is under all this pressure and persecution we see the real deal practice normal Christian faith. Which provokes a question when we are experience pressure and persecution, what does our faith look like? This Sunday w…

Sometimes God asks us to go certain places, talk to certain people, and preform difficult tasks, even when we don’t feel like it. In Acts 21, we are going to take a look at how Paul did not allow the world to deter him from Gods will, no matter how difficult things became. ——————————————————————————————— Connect with us on Social Media: Website: nb…

One of my favorite parables because none of us can escape this one. We all have a bit of the unforgiving servant in us. Jesus tells the story of a man forgiven of a mountain of debt which he could never pay off in a hundred lifetimes. But here is where it gets interesting, the man once set free, finds someone who is indebted to him for a minuscule …

In this parable Jesus tells the story of a widow who needs legal protection from an unjust judge. In that culture at that time she is the person who would rarely if ever get justice and yet she does. But how did she get justice from an unjust judge? She kept coming day after day bugging the judge to get legal protection. She wore him down and he ga…

In this story Jesus gives us a glimpse of what hell is actually like. It’s not pretty, fun or even a party place. In fact it’s not a place anyone would want to go to. A man we only know as a rich man will find himself in that place. It is his tormented words that teach us that not only do we not want to go there, but we also would not want any of o…

We begin a short series through the Parables in the Gospels. Our first stop will be with the Good Samaritan which is a fascinating interaction between a lawyer and Jesus over what a true neighbor actual is. The lawyer is wanting to know who is his neighbor, which means he wants to know who his neighbor isn’t. In other words, who don’t I have to hel…
