Series: A Journey Into God's Presence
(Psalm 127)
This Psalm is designed to compel us to ask ourselves the question, "Is God Your Center?" We are products of our culture and civilization, but an honest analysis of our culture and civilization will indicate that God is NOT at the center. The challenge we all face is to discover the areas where our culture and civilization exert more influence on our values and priorities than Jesus Christ does.

Jul 21, 20192019-07-21When God Says; Yes, Enough, and NowSeries: A Journey Into God's Presence(Psalm 126)The Bible is very clear that everyone who is serious about following Jesus will go through difficult, even painful times in their lives. Since Jesus is the "author and finisher" of our faith, there will come a day when Jesus will look upon our painful, difficult situation and say YES to our prayers, ENOUGH to our difficulties, and NOW to our deliverance!

Jun 23, 20192019-06-23 A Lesson in HumilitySeries: A Journey Into God's Presence(Psalm 124)As we journey into the presence of God, sooner or later we will be confronted by the simple truth that God is MORE than we will ever be! In our pride we cling to our independence instead of learning how to live in God-dependence - then we take credit for what God has (and is) doing in our lives. As Christians, we sometimes believe that the blessings we receive are due to our own faith, holiness, and service - we need "A Lesson in Humility."

We need to look to God! Let our focus be on God as we watch for our blessings.

Jun 9, 20192019-06-09 Let’s Go-To ChurchSeries: A Journey Into God's Presence(Psalm 122)We live in a culture that tends to regard church-goers with a mixture of skepticism and ridicule as a waste of time. In our 24/7 society, many Christians have to fight this same attitude as their work (of necessity) consumes so much of their time leaving them with so little free-time. We in the West have to rediscover the passion and power that exists when Christians gather together to experience the presence of Jesus - and each other!

Jun 2, 20192019-06-02 Victory in the ValleySeries: A Journey Into God's Presence(Psalm 121)We live this life under the shadow of death. At any time we can face difficulties, problems, struggles, conflicts, traumas, and tragedies. Psalm 121 promises that God has given us Victory in the Valley - our challenge is that we don't always recognize the victory that God gives us.

May 26, 20192019-05-26 In My Distress, I Find JesusSeries: A Journey Into God's Presence(Psalm 120)Our Journey Into God's Presence begins, as does Psalm 120, with a prayer that is prayed to God in distress. Being human, we're not motivated to seek help or to change unless we are in some kind of distress. This is why it is in our distress that we can find Jesus!

May 19, 20192019-05-19 Returning KingSeries: Rediscovering Jesus(Acts 1:1-14)For this final message of this series - we go back to the beginning of the Christian Church where we discover that Jesus-centered Christianity thrives on the expectation of the return of Jesus. When we truly Rediscover Jesus as our Returning King, we're motivated to passionately live out our Christian faith in this world.

May 5, 20192019-05-05 High PriestSeries: Rediscovering Jesus(Hebrews 4:14-16)Christians need to rediscover Jesus as their personal High Priest. This means that at this very moment Jesus is praying for you, and because of his role as High Priest you have the ability to pray to God, now, about anything. In this message, Pastor Matt encourages you to pour your heart out to God since he has poured himself out for you as your High Priest.

Apr 28, 20192019-04-28 Spirit BaptizerSeries: Rediscovering Jesus(Luke 3:16)Christians sometimes become enamored with various personalities, "spiritual celebrities" that promise a new or greater anointing if you follow and support their ministries. In contrast, the Bible clearly teaches that Jesus Christ is the one and only Spirit Baptizer - and it is to Jesus that Christians should look to in desiring to be baptized in the Holy Spirit.

Apr 21, 20192019-04-21 Dead RaiserSeries: Rediscovering Jesus- EASTER SUNDAY -(John 11:17-27)Over the past 20 years, there has been a surge in the popularity of zombies and vampires in entertainment. Not only is this symptom of the anxieties caused by the hopelessness and nothingness inherent to contemporary Western Culture - it also has the effect of subtly implanting the idea that the Resurrection of Jesus is something abhorrent. In this message, we rediscover the promises and possibilities that Jesus' resurrection from the dead offers to anyone who believes that Jesus is the Son of God and is ALIVE!

Apr 14, 20192019-04-14 Temple CleanserSeries: Rediscovering Jesus(Matthew 21:1-17)On Palm Sunday, Jesus was welcomed into Jerusalem with shouts of celebration - but then Jesus immediately entered the Temple and began to cleanse it. In our lives as Christians we have to move beyond the celebratory aspects of worship and enter the consecration of worship. Since the Bible tells us that we are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, we should expect Jesus to work to cleanse our Temple (ourselves) of any idol, sin, attitude, behavior, or pattern of thinking that detracts from our faith in God.

In this message, Pastor Matt takes a look at how Jesus' self-sacrifice for our sins continues to liberate and transform us.
