"Coronavirus: Confronting Fear with Faith"
(1 Timothy 1:7)
Panic buying. Fighting in retail stores, Internet rumors, States of emergency. A global pandemic.
As a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic there is a great deal of uncertainty and fear gripping the world.  As Christians, as followers of Jesus Christ and heirs to all the promises of the Kingdom of God we have this opportunity to rise up and confront fear with faith.

    (Titus 3:12)
    "Where Will You Stay the Winter?"
    Like people who travel to Florida to stay the winter, we have the God-given ability and resources to choose where we will stay during a "Winter of the Soul."  In this final message of this series, Pastor Matt shows how the Holy Spirit made sure that the Bible told us where the best place to stay during a "Winter of the Soul" is.

    (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." In this message, Pastor Matt shows us how to respond to the Test of Difficulty and the Test of Deception that Christians must pass during the "Winter of the 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!

    2020-02-09 Surving the Winter Without Shipwreck
    (Acts 27:6-12)
    "Surviving the Winter Without Shipwreck"
    Winters of the Soul often coincide with the Storms of Life.  Together, these difficult times have the potential to shipwreck a Christian's faith in Jesus Christ.  However, the Bible tells us God's method for insuring that our faith will survive the Winter of the Soul without shipwreck.

    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."

    2020-01-19 God is With You in the Winter!
    (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!

    2019-11-24 The Sparks of Revival
    (1 Samuel 30:1-25)
    "The Sparks of Revival"
    Following Jesus will not always lead us on an easy path.  There will be times of unexpected difficulty and pain, but these occasions do not have to be set-backs spiritually.  Instead, they can become the sparks that actually ignite revival in our lives.

    2019-11-17 The Potential for Personal Revival
    (Judges 6:1-12)
    "The Potential for Personal Revival"
    Where is the revival in America today?  Why don't we see revival in the churches of America today?  These questions (and others) are answered in this message as we see how the Bible challenges individual Christians everywhere to not wait for their churches, their pastors, or their families, but to step into Personal Revival.

    2019-11-10 The Ruin & Restoration of Revival
    (Judges 3:12-15)
    "The Ruin & Restoration of Revival"
    Whatever has been ruined can also be restored!  Christians and churches should be aware that the presence of sin will cause the ruin of a revival, but whenever that sin is admitted and abandoned, then Jesus can again bring a restoration of revival!

    (Exodus 17:8-16)
    "The Enemies of Revival"
    Whatever God gives, Satan will work to "steal, kill, and destroy."  In this message, we learn how to defeat the inevitable challenges to revival that will come anytime the Holy Spirit begins to stir Christians and Churches to begin to be passionate about faith in Jesus Christ, rather than casual about our faith in Jesus Christ.

    2019-10-27 Preparing for Revival_Part 2
    (Ezekiel 12:21-28)
    "Preparing for Revival - Part 2"
    In this message, we hear about what a Christian, and what a Church should expect from God during a Revival.  During Ezekiel's time, the people of Israel had negative expectations about God - many Christians have the same today.  Often, we've been disappointed because we've expected the wrong things from God, but Ezekiel outlines what we should expect from God during a Revival.
