2024-09-08: "Rebuilding The Temple".
2 Chronicles 24 gives a look into King Joash having the temple restored, but how does that apply to us today? Join us as we delve into the realization that WE are the temple of God ... and many of us need to restore the place of worship that is "us".
-
2024-09-01: "There Can Be Only One".
Our world often tries to claim there are many ways to God, or even that God is somehow whatever you want Him to be. But the truth is that "there can be only one" and the Bible is clear on who that is. Join us today as we talk about "The One" and how that reality should shape our lives.
-
2024/08/25: "Under Pressure".
Here's a stark reality: our world is under pressure, and so are Christians. The social climate in our society is promoting sin shamelessly. People are under pressure from their jobs, from family dynamics, from health issues, from finances, and many other sources. So they experience anxiety,...
-
2024-08-11: "He Became Sin".
So many times we might only think of the sacrifice Jesus made as a very "surface" sort of thing. But what if we really stopped to think about what 2 Corinthians 5:21 means when it says that Jesus was made to "be" sin so that we might "become" the righteousness of God in Him? That's what we talk...
-
2022/06/05: ”2 Cor 3 The Lesser To The Greater”.
Early in 2 Corinthians 3 there are three ministries described from the old covenant, and these are then contrasted to the replacement ministries under the new covenant. What a powerful truth to understand the ministry of the Spirit, the ministry of righteousness, and the ministry of permanence.
-
2021-04-18: Christ>Anything Else: Heb 12:1-3 "Cloud of Witnesses".
So many people have come before us with a testimony of God seeing them through even the toughest challenges of life. Today we dig into Heb 12:1-3 and understand how this impacts us. We embrace being called to lay aside the weight and the sin that impacts how we "run the race" we call life.
-
2021-04-04: Easter: Christ>Anything Else; "Don't Shrink Back".
Our faith has to endure, pure and simple. Here on this Easter, we continue our walk through Hebrews 10 and talk about enduring faith. And in the midst of it, we remind ourselves that Christ truly is greater than anything else ... including death!
-
2021/03/14: Christ>Anything Else: Hebrews 6, part 2 "Endurance".
God calls us to become mature believers, demonstrating endurance in our lives. The writer uses one of those four letter words: lazy ... in reminding us that we must have faith and perseverance. We learn today that one of the ways we have endurance is understanding that even while we are doing our...
-
2021-03-07: Christ>Anything Else: Heb 6 - "True Repentance and Salvation".
Do you get "saved" but it really doesn't change you? Do you truly receive the God of all Creation as your Lord and Savior ... but nothing in your life is different? Can you get saved and just keep living however you want? What does real repentance look like? This is what we find ourselves…
more -
2021.02.14: Hebrews: Christ>Anything Else "Are You Sensitive?"
Hebrews 3 reminds us of the very real danger of becoming "hardened" in our heart ... a heart that can become evil and unbelieving, leading us away from the living God. Like hands with callouses, our hearts can toughen up to where we are no longer sensitive to the things of God or the voice of…
more -
2021-02-07: Hebrews: Christ>Anything Else - Wk 2. "But We See Jesus"
Chapter 2 of Hebrews is such a powerful passage of scripture. We see the position that God original designed for mankind ... but then the need we have of Jesus redeeming that very position for us. Join us as we experience a powerful and stirring review of what Heb 2 tells us Jesus did. "But we…
more -
Jan 24, 2021: "Lead Me To The Rock".
Psa 61 gives us a look at someone who feels a million miles away from God, but who recognizes that God can place them "on a rock" that is higher than they can access on their own ... or that their enemies can access. Lord, place us in that place that allows us to rise above.
-
Jan 17, 2021: Life Is Not A Choice.
Today we celebrated Sanctity of Life Sunday by focusing on the reality that life is not a "choice"; rather, it is a gift from God. This reality will shape how we view EVERY life ... pre-born and already born. Join us as we dive into scripture to understand God's gift of life.
-
June 14, 2020: "All Your Heart, Soul, Strength, and Mind".
We live in a world where people are wrapped up in things they are passionate about. But do we properly understand how we are supposed to be loving God, and what it means to do so with our heart, soul, strength and mind? What does that look like in our world of social media? How do we move past...
-
May 17, 2020: "The Keys To Being Set Free".
Keys are used both to unlock and to lock things. Jesus tells us that He gives us several keys that I believe many Christ-followers fail to recognize they have. Today we address some powerful thoughts about the authority Christ gives us regarding: death, hell, the grave, and His kingdom.
-
Feb 23, 2020: "What It Looks Like To Love Like Jesus".
Our Anniston community has spent the last two weeks embroiled in controversy regarding a possible homeless shelter, and then the possibility of the CDP sheltering victims from a cruise ship identified as infected with COVID. It has blown up social media, with hostility, fear, anger, and genuine...
-
Jan 19, 2020: "When I Don't Know What To Do".
Life sometimes presents things that put us into situations where we honestly don't know what to do. Yes...we know the right spiritual answers, but our feelings are yelling "I don't know what to do" because we want to SOLVE it! 2 Kings 19 and 20 give us examples of what Hezekiah did when he was...
-
Jan 12, 2020: "Even So" - John 11:21-22
There may be things in your life that seem dead: dreams, hopes, relationships, jobs, future, etc. But we can learn a powerful truth from a statement Martha made in John 11 after her brother, Lazarus, had died. Yes...God could have stopped something from occurring...but "even now". Join us for a...
-
June 6, 2019: "Holy Spirit - 2".
Many people don't understand the gifts in 1 Cor 12, haven't studied them, or maybe have been "scared away" from them because of what they have been taught. Today we dive into just looking at what scripture says about them. And we end by praying "God, whatever you have for me, I want to receive."
-
June 2, 2019: "Filled With The Holy Spirit: Part 1"
Being filled with the Holy Spirit. What does it mean? What does Scripture say? What are the different belief systems within Christianity about the gifts of the Spirit and whether they are in operation today? This is part 1 in a short series that takes a look at these questions and more. While…
more -
May 26, 2019: "Filled With Zeal".
This message was a powerful challenge and call for us to abandon the lesser things that demand our attention, and to return to a fervent love...zeal...for the things of God. We must have zeal for worship, the Word, prayer, and other things of God in our personal lives before we will see our...
-
Feb 17, 2019: "Believe - Joy".
Joy is critical for the spiritual life. In fact, Jesus goes so far as to define two types of joy that can be present in us: 1) HIS joy, and 2) OUR joy (as seen in John 15:11). But why is joy important? What does it do for us, and how do we have it? Join us today as we dig into some powerful…
more -
Feb 10, 2019: "Believe: Love".
What does it mean to love like God loves? This is important to know because our love for one another is how people will know we are His disciples. But what does it look like to love one another as Christ loved us? Join us today as we see ways that Jesus loved people, and as we dig into the…
more -
Jan 27, 2019: Believe - Offering My Resources.
People have become wary of churches asking for money. TV evangelists have become the butt of jokes because of their begging for people to give their money, while they promise blessings to the first 100 people who give $1,000. But this is about as far as you can get from what God really wants from...
-
Jan 20, 2019: Believe - Offering My Time.
Here's a reality: most of us are pretty busy. Here's another reality: most of it is a choice. Today we need to challenge ourselves to consider whether it is "our time" and God gets some of it, or is it God's time and He should direct all of it? And if we determine that it is God's time, what…
more -
Jan 13, 2019: "Believe: Spiritual Gifts" part 2 of 2.
Talents vs. spiritual gifts: what's the difference? And are spiritual gifts things that don't show up in the daily life of the average Christian unless they have that particular spiritual gift? We tackle these and other questions today as we wrap up our two week look at spiritual gifts.
-
Jan 06, 2019: "Believe: Spiritual Gifts" part 1.
Spiritual gifts; lots of folks talk about them. Some folks abuse them. Some folks totally misunderstand them. Some folks avoid them. But regardless of where you stand regarding spiritual gifts, and regardless of whether you have studied them much or just totally ignored them...they're still…
more -
July 1, 2018: "An Obedient Heart".
Hey...listen up! Yeah, we've all had someone tell us to stop and listen, or focus and listen. Even God wants us to stop and listen to Him. But when we listen, do we find ourselves then being obedient to what God tells us?
-
June 24, 2018: "But God..."
Life throws us a curve, but God. Our job takes a bad turn, but God. Our health does downhill, but God. Our finances seem headed for a crash, but God. There are lots of things that don't go our way, but God has something to say about all of them. He steps in, He leads us through the dark moments…
more -
June 10, 2018: "When God Shows Up In An Unexpected Way".
We often ask God to show up in our lives, jobs, relationships, homes, and other situations. But we also usually have an idea in our head of what we think that should look like. What if God shows up in an unexpected way? What if it doesn't look like, sound like, or feel like what we thought it...
-
June 3, 2018 - John 6:1-15 "Believing Without Seeing"
5 loaves. 2 fish. One Savior. Like us, Philip struggled with being able to grasp that Jesus was able to do something miraculous. So many times we also struggle with believing without seeing. But God works in the realm of the supernatural to effect the realm of the natural where we function in…
more -
April 8, 2018 - John 3 "Whose Kingdom Is It Anyway?"
John's followers really took offense to people starting to follow Jesus. Their focus was on their leader (John), but they weren't really understanding his message. John had always pointed everyone to the coming Messiah, but John's followers were missing that John was saying "Here he is!"
-
Mar 25, 2018: John - "God's Authority".
Jesus ran moneychangers out of the temple. The amazing response of people around this event was not about whether it was just...but rather, what authority did Jesus have to do this. Are you allowing God to have authority in your life?
-
Mar 18, 2018 - John 2:13-17 "Make Way For Worship"
In this passage Jesus comes to the temple to find that "junk" had invaded and had taken over from the real intended purpose for the temple. Sometimes our own lives get in that same condition: junk invades and takes up the space that should be reserved for God, worship, and encountering the very...
-
John 2:1-12 -- "Water Into Wine" - March 11, 2018
In today's passage we see Jesus do His first miracle, a creative miracle. There is a tremendous parallel between this creative miracle that Jesus does and what happens to believers at conversion / salvation. Learn about these parallels today in our continued journey through the Gospel according…
more -
Feb 18, 2018: John - Wk 1
Week 1 of our new series on The Gospel Recorded By John. Join us as we dive into understanding how this book differs from the other three Gospels, why it was written, and the great theological statements that John makes from the start.
-
Jan 8, 2018: Prayer - It's For Everyone.
Prayer isn't just for those you love, care about or consider friends. Prayer is bigger than that. Prayer is for everyone.
-
Nov 6, 2017: "Being Thankful During Suffering"
There's a drastic difference between saying someone should be thankful "for" suffering (which we are not doing) versus seeing how we can be thankful "during" suffering. At some point in life we all suffer, to varying degrees. But God will still empower us to experience thankfulness even during…
more -
Oct 15, 2017: "Stir Up The Gift"
There are many things that have been placed into our lives, yet sometimes they are lying dormant. Just like a fire, stirring the embers can bring a new blaze to these things. Be inspired to stir up the gift of grace in your life today.
-
Oct 1, 2017: "God Is Working In Me"
Our world sometimes gets to spinning so fast that we simply run from one thing to the next, never really seeing that God is at work in our lives. Today's message reminds us to slow down and see that God truly is working in us...we just need to look to see it.
-
Sep 24, 2017: "Challenged By God"
When was the last time you were truly personally challenged by God and His Word? We're talking about a REAL challenge. A challenge to change. To become something more. To experience exponential growth. This message will ask you to think on this and open yourself up to being challenged by God.
-
Sep 17, 2017: Service Project = Each Other
Lots of folks are searching for a service project to be involved with. But the messae today will show us that the most obvious service project we are to be involved with is "each other".
-
Aug 27, 2017: "Running The Race"
Taking a 25 lb weight in a backpack during a footrace would be foolish! But this is a real illustration of what happens to us in our spiritual race sometimes. Join us today as we dig into understanding how to run the race unencumbered and with patience.
-
Aug 20, 2017: Mistaken Identity.
Many of us either tend to live defined by our past, or else don't want anyone to even know about it. But the reality is that our past gives people the proper perspective to ask about the "what" that caused the change to the person we are today. Join us as we learn how to avoid having a "mistaken...
-
"JOY" - Aug 13, 2017
Do you have joy? What is the real origin of joy for a Christ-follower? Today we dive into a passage in Romans in order to understand "how joyful" we should be after believing on Jesus Christ.
-
July 30, 2017: Colossians "Focus".
Have you ever seen someone driving and texting? What tended to happen? Usually they swerve, maybe run off the road, but generally are dangerous while driving because they aren't focused on the right thing. Our lives can be that way unless we are focused on the correct objects and goals. In this...
-
July 23, 2017: "The Secret of Contentment"
Are you content? So many times we define contentment by the things that we have or the things we get to do. But where should the Christ-follower find their source of contentment? Join us as we examine a biblical contentment that is Christ-centered, not Americanized or focused on possessions.
-
July 17, 2017: "We Are The Church"
Family is sometimes messy, but you're still family. The church is no different. We're all on different places along the timeline of spiritual maturity, but we're still one family. God has called His church to unity, not uniformity. Join us as we learn how to live this out in our lives.
-
July 10, 2017: "Fighting With Your Head Up"
Gideon had a whole host of people to go with him against an opposing army. But God pared that down to just a comparative handful of people. Many of us need to apply portions of this story as we fight "with our heads up" in our daily lives.
-
July 3, 2017: "Real Freedom"
Freedom. Everyone will be talking about it during the July 4th weekend celebration. But what is REAL freedom? You see, many people around the world don't experience the level of personal public freedom that we do in America. So REAL freedom must be something that anyone can experience, regardless...
