Description:Pastor DJ unpacks Psalm 8 and leads us to see how we have misunderstood who God is and who we are. Once we have that true understanding, we have many responses: Wisdom, Work, Worship, and our Witness. We pray that this message will open your eyes to who God is, who you are, and that we will honor Him with our response to those truths.

Description:In this message, we take a look at the best known passage of Scripture on the subject of love. We hear excerpts of this chapter shared mainly at weddings... but it was written to the church, to the body of Christ... so that we may live out God's love in and through our lives for His glory. What we know, what we believe, what we say... doesn't matter... if we don't love the way Jesus loves.

Description:In this message, we unpack a passage in Philippians that challenges us to live life all out for Christ. LIsten in as we consider that it isn't over till it's over, we must go in the right direction, and we're part of a team-- striving together for God's glory.

Description:Jacob is fleeing for his life. Fear of his brother, Esau, takes him to this desolate place, where he finds that God is there, and that God has a word for him. God lets Jacob know that He is with him, He's for him, and He will continue to fulfill the promise that He made to Abraham and Isaac, through Jacob. God tells Jacob, and He's telling us as well... "I've got you."

Description:Abiding in Christ is an everyday thing.... connecting with Him brings power for living, hope for today... no matter what we may be facing in life.

Description:THere are times in life, in which we feel inadequate... perhaps we're comparing ourself to some superstar athlete, some actor, or well-known musician, or even to people that we're around on a daily basis...or maybe we feel inadequate for the task in front of us. But who we are in Christ means we are anointed, set apart for God's purposes, equipped... empowered by Him to do what He calls us to... for His glory. In 2 Corinthians 1:21-22, Paul shows us how we can know we are anointed by Him and for His glory to do great things.

Description:We continue in our series, "Our Identity in Christ." Today we focus on freedom. As believers, our identity is not in the world, or what they world says about us... our identity is in Christ. As a result of being in Christ, we are set free. Free from sin, free from the wrath of God, free from guilt.... free to walk in freedom not to sin. We are set free to life... abundant and full in Christ.

Description:The relationship that we as believers have with Christ, is spoken of by Jesus, as of a Shepherd with his sheep. The Shepherd always provides, protects, leads, and cares for his sheep. It's a secure relationship... one that allows us to live life the way that God intends for us. Listen in and know that your identity in Christ is a sure thing for all eternity... held securely in the Father's hand.

Description:In this beautiful, intimate letter, Paul challenges Philemon {and us} to give a gift of grace to Onesimus, and others. Onesmius didn't deserve grace, and neither do we, but God's grace and forgiveness frees us to offer grace to others. Listen in as we unpack this wonderful letter, and this gift of grace.

Description:What gift could we give God? Listen in and follow the example of the magi, as they presented a gift of worship.

Description:This season, we think about gifts... we've got our lists of gifts we'd like to give and those we'd like to receive. God's has a gift for each one of us, and His gifts include His most precious gift, the gift of His Son, the gift of life through Jesus, the gift of forgiveness, of salvation, hope, and today we consider God's gift of strength... available for all who believe and trust in Him. Listen in and receive God's gift of strength today!

Description:This season of the year, our focus turns to giving thanks to God for His many blessings. In today's message, Pastor Bryan takes us to a well-known passage, where an encounter with Jesus changes everything for ten men with leprosy. We often think of this encounter as a lesson in giving thanks, but is that really the point, or is there something else that Jesus wants us to see? Listen in and let God change you through the power of His Word.

Description:We're continuing our series looking at some of the questions that we ask ourselves from time to time. In this message, Pastor Bryan, takes us into Psalm 32... where the spalmist talks about our happiness being connected to a problem that we all have... our sin... and finding that God ia able to bring joy when we confess our sin and trust Him for new life, empowered by His Holy Spirit. Forgiveness brings happiness. Forgiveness from God... forgiveness of others and forgiveness of ourselves. Step into God's joy today. Listen and find hope.

Description:Brother Derrick Carney was our guest preacher, bringing the charge message for the ordination of our Associate Pastor {his son} D J Carney. It's a charge and challenge to each of us as well. We "must" be on mission with God and for His glory!

Description:Each day, we have opportunities to say yes to God and be a part of what He is doing in this world for His glory. God calls us, much as He called Abram, to step out from where he was, into an incredible adventure of faith.

Description:Our nation has seen some incredible movements of God in and through the Great Awakenings. Pastor DJ unpacks the first Great Awakening found in Acts 2. We must learn to be people of the Word, love one another, and pray in order to see a move of God like what was experienced in the church of old...

Description:How's your vertical? I'm not talking abut your vertical jump ability... I'm talking about your vertical as in praying. God really wants to hear from you and me. We can come to Him as His child, and He promises to listen, to respond. We can come to Him in confdience knowing that He hears us, and that He only wants to give us His best... for His glory! Listen in and let's go vertical!

Description:From the books of Acts, comes a great account of one man-- Philip, a layman-- that God called to step out from where he was to the backside of nowhere.... sharing the Gospel with a guy traveling down the road in his chariot. Philip shows us how to live a life of obedience-- running to the opportunity that God provided to share about Jesus. Those same opportunities are all around us... let's chase the chariot.

Description:How should you respond when trouble comes? In this week's message, we unpack a passage of Scripture where King Hezekiah and the nation of Judah, find themselves being confronted by a huge army. They're overwhelmed... which is where we find ourselves at times... but God's got you and He's got your problems in His hands. Listen in and see that God is faithful to take you through.

Description:We wrap up our series, I Love My Church, by looking at the words of Jesus challenging us to be salt and light in our day-to-day life. Jesus said that the world will know we are His disciples by the way we love one another... with the goal of sharing His love with those we meet each day. How will the world know of God's love if we do not share? Listen in as Pastor Bryan challenges us to share God's love with everyone we see.

Description:Jesus said that the world would know we are His disciples by the way in which we love one another. To love one another, means that we are doing life together so closely that we know of the needs of one another. And that we will do whatever we can to help meet those needs. The church in Acts 4, gave all they had to help one another-- to the extent that no one had need among them. Jesus says it is more blessed to give than receive... let's be like Him... let's be givers... let's help one another.

Description:We love God and His church by allowing His love to be expressed to others. God has given each believer spiritual gift{s} to be used in making a difference for Him in His church and in the world. Because God has chosen and given us "super" gifts, He calls us to be superheroes. Listen in as we look at what superheroes and Christmas presents have to do with the church.

Description:In this message, Pastor Bryan shares about the fences in our lives. Not the literal fence around our yards, but the fences that we have that keep us from being who God wants us to be. He wants us to know that Jesus is the fence crasher... He takes down the fence that separates us from God, because of the sin problem we are born with... and He will also take down the fences we erect to keep people from seeing who we really are. If we truly want to be the church that God intends, we need to allow Jesus to crash the fence.... and connect with Him and with others. Let's do life with Jesus and with one another.

Description:Jesus told His disciples {and us} that the world would know we are His disciples by the way that we love one another. In this series, we are challenged to intentionally love the church... not rate it... like when we go to a restaurant... but love the church for what it is and can be... family. Let's be the church that God intends us to be.... let's love our church.

Description:When God's grace finds you, He changes everything. King David is looking for someone in Saul's family so that he can show them the kindness of God. God is looking for you to give you His grace. No matter where you are, what you've done... His grace seeks you. And His grace changes everything.
