EHS#4 - Putting off the old, Putting on Christ

Our "Emotionally Healthy Spirituality" series continues with a message titled, "Putting off the old, putting on Christ." In order to be able to know what it means to "put off the old," we have to be able to identify our unspoken/unidentified core values, mindsets, thought processes, ways of interacting with people & the world around us - these make up our version of what we think "normal" is. Our text is Ephesians 4:17-24.

EHS #3 - Living Truthfully

The next stop in our series, "Emotionally Healthy Spirituality" takes a look at what it means to live truthfully & faithfully to be the person God made us to be. Our starting text is 1 Samuel 17.

EHS #1 - Losing My Life To Find It

This week, we're starting a series that will go over the next several weeks - it's called "Emotionally Healthy Spirituality." Each week, we're exploring different ways that we can actively interact with, love, & care for people in a manner reflective of the love of Christ in our own lives. Today's message is called, "Losing My Life To Find It" & the text is Luke 9:23-26.

Christmas 2012 - Christmas Is Jesus

In our Christmas 2012 message, we explore the significance of Jesus Christ's coming. When people were (& ARE) looking for salvation, redemption, and deliverance in the powerful political, military, & economic systems of the world, Jesus Christ turns that kind of thinking on its ear. He declares, the LORD is salvation! Our texts for today are Isaiah 9 & Luke 2.

Growing in Grace #4 - The Transforming Grace of God's Word

This is the last message in our series, "Growing In Grace" - our topic today is The Transforming Grace of God's Word - & our text is 1Timothy 4:6-9, 2Timothy 3:16,17, & 1Peter 2:1,2.

Growing in Grace #3 - Putting Off & Putting On

Today, our message in the series, "Growing in Grace" is talking about putting off the old ways of thinking, living, & acting, & putting on Jesus Christ. Practically, this could look like stopping with the indulgences of our natural ways - (lying, throwing fits of rage, stealing from others, speaking negatively to & about others) &  adopting Christ-like ways (speaking the truth in love, working to be a blessing to others with our material possessions, & encouraging people with our words & actions). The text for today is Ephesians 4:17-32.

Growing In Grace #2 - Humility, Gentleness, & Patience

Ephesians 2 reminds us that our salvation is rooted in the grace of God, & is not based upon our own merits, works, &/or accomplishments.  Therefore, we grow in our relationship with God by the grace God extends to us - & by looking to embrace His ways, thought patterns, & means of engaging the world (& the PEOPLE) around us. Today's message flows out of Ephesians 4:1-3, & centers on the challenge of living out humility, gentleness, & patience in our relationships with others...

Growing In Grace #1 - Embracing Goodness & Kindness

We're beginning a series today called "Growing In Grace" - our main texts as we launch are Jeremiah 9:23-24, Galatians 5:22-23, & Ephesians 2:8-10.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ #11 - The End

Today, we're finishing our series, "The Revelation of Jesus Christ" - I'm calling this message "The End." The text for today is Revelation 21 & 22.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ #10 - The Great White Throne

This week's message comes from Revelation 20:11-15. It addresses the Final Judgment, where each person stands before God - He has 2 sets of books - the Book of Deeds, which contains the accounts of everything we've done for our whole lives. The other is the Book of Life - in it are the names of every person who has come into relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ, by way of repentance and the forgiveness of sins.
