    "The Other Side of Faith"
     Faith in God is like a coin - it has two sides.  This message is about the human-side of having faith in God.  The side that we are often ashamed of and struggle with during our journey with Jesus - particularly during stressful and fearful times.  In this encouraging message from the life of Jacob, Pastor Matt describes how God accepts the human-side of having faith in God as faith!

    "New Terms - Old Ideas"
    During this Coronavirus pandemic, we've had new terms enter our vocabulary.  Such as, "self-quarantine, social distancing, and sheltering in place."  In this special message, Pastor Matt shows how these new terms are actually very old ideas that have a lot of relevance for Christians, and that Christians have an opportunity to use this crisis to grow spiritually stronger, healthier, and holier in our journey with Jesus.

    (Proverbs 20:4)
    "Lazy Winter - Hungry Summer"
    The "Winters of the Soul"that all of us face in life may seem like bleak, dead experiences but in reality how we respond to the "Winters of our Soul" determines how well we do during the "Summers of our Soul."

    (2 Samuel 23:20)
    "The Winter Warrior"
    Winters of the Soul are noted for their adversity, their difficulty, their capacity to intimidate and overwhelm Christians in their daily journey with Jesus.  However, we learn from the story of Benaiah (a "Winter Warrior") that every Christian has built into their identity by God the ability to become like Benaiah - an unstoppable "Winter Warrior!

    2020-01-26 Awakening to the Blessing of Winter!
    (1 Corinthians 16:5-9)
    "Awakening to the Blessing of Winter!"
     
    Winter is often thought of as a dark, cold, uncomfortable, and possibly dangerous time - BUT - winter can also be a time of beauty, excitement, and joy.  God is calling His people to wake up to the special blessings that can take place in our lives while we walk with God through a "Winter of the Soul."

    (Genesis 8:20-22)
    "God is WITH YOU in the Winter!"
     
    Life brings different seasons, for everyone there will come a "Winter of the Soul."  As Christians, we much prefer the "Summer of the Soul" when having faith in God is easy, when prayer is easy, when worship is easy, when serving God is easy.  Yet, we need to realize that God is just as with us during the Winter as He is during the Summer!
