2 Corinthians 5:14-21 I can remember as a kid that I wanted to have a purpose – to be somebody that can make a difference in this world. For many years I believed that I would never fulfill this idea. Then I found Christ and started learning and applying God’s word; I started seeing amazing results […]

Why Worship?
“…together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 15:6) Have you ever wondered if going to worship makes a difference? What if the sermon doesn’t interest you and the songs are not your style? Does it matter if you commune with God privately instead of showing […]
Performance
Romans 5:1-11 Did you ever hear the saying “The ball’s in your court”? Meaning it is your turn to do something or to respond to something. When you become a Christian, many think that the ball is now in their court and they have to respond. In a sense, that is true. There are ways we […]
Never Know
John 3:34-36 When we invite others to come to church or to join a small group or to help on a mission trip, two things occur; one, we as the “inviter” are actually being “sent” to grow the kingdom of God; second, at the same time, we are inviting others to start and get involved in […]
Honoring God
James 3:1 Many times I feel like I am being judged harder than others would by their parents, friends, professors, etc. Sometimes I feel that I am expected to provide more than I am able. I have also had doubts about my major. Being a dual major Special Education/Early Childhood Education with Deaf/Hard of Hearing […]

Longest Journey
John 8:1-11 There is a saying that goes like this, “The longest journey that a man must take is the 18 inches between his head to his heart”. We can be filled with all kinds of knowledge and wisdom, but if we don’t apply it to our lives, what good is it? Pastor Matt Lake stated, “TEACHING […]
Grace Is All You Need
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (NLT) “Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 10 That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, […]
There Is Hope in God
1 John 5 13-21, There Is Hope in God Today is the 12th anniversary of the horrible day when terrorists attacked this country. I am reminded of the hope we have in Christ. The hope that more people come to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the hope that we will be comforted even […]
Too Comfortable?
Genesis 12:1-3 I have learned over the years to not get too comfortable in any situation; for when we do, God steps in and makes things happen for His glory, hence the scripture today. In the past few years we have heard the slogan repeated over and over again “Change” and we have also heard […]
