Series: Rediscovering Jesus
(Luke 24:13-32)
After his resurrection from death, Jesus' disciples rapidly discovered that Jesus really was the "Master Teacher." Jesus is still the Master Teacher of every sincere Christian who earnestly desires to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Jesus takes us where we are, and begins to teach us out of our ignorance and immaturity so we can be mature followers of Him.

Mar 24, 20192019-03-24 Story WriterSeries: Rediscovering Jesus(Hebrews 12:1-3)People today - both Christians and non-Christians - need to rediscover Jesus as the "Story Writer," the "author and finisher of our faith." Jesus Christ died for us, rose from the dead for us, sent the Holy Spirit to us, and prays for us because He has a plan for each of us! We need to be reminded that His plan for us does not include a destiny dominated by our history or a future controlled by our failures!

Mar 17, 20192019-03-17 Rediscovering JesusSeries: Rediscovering Jesus(Revelation 2:1-7)Mahatma Ghandi once remarked to a missionary, "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." This sentiment expresses our need as Christians and as the Church to "Rediscover Jesus." In this message, Pastor Matt takes a close look at the Church in Ephesus to discover why a church that had been founded on a passionate commitment to Jesus Christ later drifted away from a center-focus on Jesus.

Mar 3, 20192019-03-03 Worship Through HolinessSeries: Worship: It Goes Beyond Church(Romans 12:1-3)Personal holiness has become an unpopular subject in Western Christianity for a number of reasons. We've forgotten that the pursuit of personal holiness is the same as the pursuit of personal Christ-likeness! Holiness isn't an achievement. Holiness is a form of active, living, personal worship that occurs as we allow the Holy Spirit to make us more like Jesus in every area and relationship in our lives.

Feb 24, 20192019-02-24 Worship Through WorkSeries: Worship: It Goes Beyond Church(Ecclesiastes 9:10)We spend more of our waking time at our work than on any other activity in our lives!

God wants us to learn how to integrate our work-life into our faith-life so that our work changes from being labor or a profession to being worship.

Feb 17, 20192019-02-17 Worship Through PraiseSeries: Worship: It Goes Beyond Church(Psalm 150)We limit ourselves whenever we confine our praise of God to a few minutes in church. Since praise is part of worship and worship of God reaches into every area of our lives, praise of God is meant to fill and flood every part, every activity, and every occasion of our lives!

Feb 10, 20192019-02-10 Worship Through GivingSeries: Worship: It Goes Beyond Church(2Samuel 24:18-25)Since our worship of God goes beyond the church and touches every area of our lives our worship of God is also reflected in our giving! God wants us to become worshippers by becoming Givers - being a Giver isn't about the act of giving, but the attitude behind our giving.

Jan 27, 20192019-01-27 Worship Through ObedienceSeries: Worship: It Goes Beyond Church(1Samuel 15)Obedience is one of the most difficult topics to preach on because disobedience has been instilled in our hearts as the first sin of humanity and enshrined in our culture as a near-virtue. This makes our obedience of God the purest form of worship we can possibly give to God - AND - this makes our disobedience of God the worst form of anti-worship we can give God.

Jan 6, 20192019-01-06 Faith for A Million ProblemsSeries: A Festival of Faith(2Chronicles 14:8-15)It isn't always the BIG problem that overwhelms us and challenges our Faith in God - its the constant, nagging presence of a million little problems that do!

Dec 30, 20182018-12-30 How to Pray for FaithSeries: A Festival of Faith(Luke 17:1-6)We all want to know "How To" do or obtain something. Most Christians want to know "How To" pray for faith - but it is important to realize that when the Apostles prayed and said to Jesus, "Increase our faith!" they were doing so after hearing Jesus' teaching on the high morality and heart-change he expects of all His followers. In this message, we learn what to expect and how to pray for the faith we need to live life the way Jesus expects us to.
- Dec 16, 20182018-12-16 Real Faith
Dec 16, 20182018-12-16 Real FaithSeries: A Festival of Faith(1Peter 1:3-9)Sometimes its easy to detect the counterfeit, the fake - other times, it isn't so easy to detect the difference between the Real and the Fake, the Genuine and the Counterfeit. As Christians, our faith in God is often diluted by faith in faith, faith in self, faith in other people or other things other than in Jesus Christ. This is why God uses the difficulties of our life to refine our faith in Him.

Dec 9, 20182018-12-09 When Faith Grows UpSeries: A Festival of Faith(Hebrews 11:24-27)We begin our life with God through faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. This is our "mustard-seed" of faith that is meant to grow-up. As Moses grew in faith in God, he successfully passed through three major stages of spiritual growth - each stage leading him ever closer to God! We are called as faith-followers of Jesus to allow our faith in God to grow-up in the same way.
