Cornelius the Centurion is known as the first Gentile inside the book of Acts to profess his faith in Jesus. But he didn’t do it on his own. He was introduced to Peter, the disciple who denied Jesus three times, the disciple who said he would never leave Jesus’ side, the disciple who would go to...

The Turning Point | Growing from Within

The Turning Point | Looking Outward
The church was never meant to be a country club. Those groups are only about what their members can do for the club. The church was always meant to be a beacon of light for the community around it. But we can’t be a light if we always keep it hidden. Our light needs to be sent out for all to see…

The Turning Point | A Change in Attitude
The starting point of any journey is the willingness to go. Sometimes in our lives we get stuck on the worries and fears of what might happen in the future. But we have to let go of those fears and worries and live in the hope of what God can do with just a little bit of faith, and a whole lot of...

Choices | Contentment Vs. Complacency
When in church, we often get comfortable with the way things work. We get into routines and do things just because that is the way we have always done things. Sometimes we struggle, and the routines get shaken up. Paul was in chains, but he learned to be content in all things because he still…

Choices: Christ Vs. The World
Paul was not always the best example for the early church to follow. He admitted that he had everything but also persecuted the church. Paul gave us an example – Christ. The things of this world are of no value if we don’t live like Christ.

Choices: Rejoice Vs. Anxious
No matter what happens, no matter what struggles we face, we can choose to rejoice because God is at work in all that we do. When we choose to rejoice – even in difficult circumstances, God will grant us that peace that transcends all understanding.

Laborers in the Harvest | Who is the Healer?
Does God still work miracles? Or is it possible we missed the point about healing? Jesus already gave us a model. And Jesus’ idea of who the healer is might not be who you think it is.

The Good Shepherd | When It's Time to Step Up
Our Good Shepherd leads us in ways that we may not understand, but ultimately we get to where He wants us to be. Today we look at Nehemiah and see that even though there was a daunting task ahead of him, he found a way to complete it. In that same way, we have a daunting task ahead of us. And…

The Good Shepherd: Tending the Flock
Stronger Together was a call that was popular several years ago as an attempt to join together and try to build each other up in a time when things seemed so bleak. But that call didn't last long. Today we look at a passage from Ezekiel to see why we should still be coming together to great…

Looking Forward, Looking Back | Some Things Never Change

Looking Forward, Looking Back | Don't Stop Here

Looking Forward, Looking Back | If You'll Follow
When the Constitutional Convention came to a close in 1787, Benjamin Franklin was asked, "Well, Doctor, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?" Franklin replied, "A republic, if you can keep it." In the life of the church, God has a calling for us...if we will follow it.

Looking Forward, Looking Back | Waiting for Joshua
When things get tough, we have a tendency to look for someone who can lead us through them. We want someone who is bigger than us, stronger than us, or smarter than us to show us how we can overcome whatever we face. But in our rush to find someone to lead us, we forget who we should really turn…

Ordinary People, Extraordinary God | Just Like Always
Although most of our faith is lived out on ordinary days, we'll all have face moments that require extraordinary faith. Moments like when Daniel faced the lion's den. But what prepares us for these moments? Are we only able to face these extraordinary moments if we already have extraordinary…

Ordinary People, Extraordinary God | Ordinary Days
We spend a lot of time thinking about the big days — the holidays, the milestones, the moments we plan for months in advance. But most of life doesn't happen on those days. Most of life happens on ordinary days. So how do we live out our faith on an ordinary day? Because God doesn't just want us…

Ordinary People, Extraordinary God
When most of us think of the people God uses, we picture people who get everything right, and live extraordinary lives of faith. But that's not the way most of us see ourselves. But does that mean that God can't use us because we're not perfect people with extraordinary faith? Or have we simply...

Ordinary People, Extraordinary God | A Herculean Effort
Most of us assume that following God requires something big from us. A dramatic life change. A heroic sacrifice. Some kind of extraordinary effort. But that assumption gets in the way of our relationship with God. God doesn't expect us to be or do something extraordinary to prove we're worthy of...
