He Is Risen!!! We come together to remember and to celebrate that the cross was certainly not the end of the life of Jesus.  Though we praise Him for taking on the cross with joy to pay the price for our sins so that we might be forgiven, so that we might have a way to receive life eternal and life abundant, we are reminded that the cross was just the beginning! Now we do find that all four gospels…

This morning, we continue to commit to know God by diving into the depths of who He is. Last week, we learned that God is the resurrection.  We learned of an event that we refer to as the rapture when Jesus calls those who believe in Him, first the dead, then those still alive, to be with Him together forever!  Although we mourn our loved ones who have passed away, our mourning is coupled with hope knowing that we’ll meet…

This morning, we continue to commit to know God by diving into the depths of who He is. Death.  Ever since Adam and Eve chose their own desires over God’s word, death is the one thing that every single human being shares in common.  Interestingly enough, it is a topic not commonly discussed nor considered throughout the course of our lives.  Most of us are so busy and consumed with our daily lives that the reality that our lives could…

This morning, we continue to commit to know God by diving into the depths of who He is. Many times throughout our lives, we feel as if though we are all alone.  We feel as if though no one can relate to us or fully understand our struggles.  We feel as if though no one knows about our challenges or cares about us.  Our perspective becomes skewed and self-focused and we become a bit like this: * The Office –…

This morning, we continue to commit to know God by diving into the depths of who He is. So far, we’ve learned quite a bit about who God is.  Seeing a fuller revelation of who God is leads us to the conclusion of what our response should be to all of these things.  God is master, awesome, our faithful rock, true, He is love, and what a powerful reminder last week that God is for us.  These things, and more…

This morning, we continue to commit to know God by diving into the depths of who He is. Last week, we learned of how God is love.  We’re reminded that God demonstrated His love for us by making a way where there was no other way.  We’re reminded that through Jesus alone, we can be forgiven of our sins and become a brand new creation; the old self is gone and the new self is here. This morning, we’re going…

Yesterday, lovers of all ages acknowledged and celebrated their love for one another in honor of Saint Valentine’s day.  Once again this year, flowers, chocolates, cards, and dinner together topped the list of purchases of couples for this event.  It’s the thought that counts, right?  However, what do these gifts reveal about our love for one another?  Compared to what love truly is, these gifts are all fairly cheap and cheesy! Regarding romantic love, the female lover in Song of…

This morning, we continue to commit to know God by diving into the depths of who He is. As we were reminded last week through the life of David, remaining faithful to God isn’t always easy.  There are times that God permits us to go through seasons of trial and testing with the divine purpose that through them, we would cling to Him and become mature and complete lacking nothing. Continuing in this same theme, we’re being challenged this morning…

This morning, we continue to dive into the depths of who God is. We live in an ever changing world.  Our culture is one that seems to be changing faster and faster as time goes on.  Technology and the accessibility of information has created awesome opportunities, but also unique challenges.  Parents are now dealing with a dynamic range of issues that simply didn’t exist a mere 15 years ago.  Not only affecting parenting, our high level of connectivity impacts nearly every aspect…
