Description:A Matter of Allegiance

Description:This series take a look at the simple question, "How do we do what we're called to do?" When we study the ministry of Jesus, it's suprpising how much of His ministry was done around the dinner table. We start this series with Part 1 - Be Our Guest.

Description:There is a time to gather in rows - for worship, for prayer, for focusing on our audience of One. But there are also times for gathering in circles - to engage the conversation, share the process of applying God's Word to our lives. As we continue our series, we say to all, "Make Yourself at Home."

Description:It's one thing to come into our living room - and another to sit in the dining room. But, when' you're family, you come on into the kitchen. Isn't it time for you to have "A Plate of Your Own?"

Description:In this series, we are seeking to lay out a target - defining what it is that we, as a church, are supposed to be doing. We agree that anything that lands outside of this Biblical map of what we should be must be lain aside.

Description:In Part 2 of this series, we consider the fundamental responsibility that every follower of Jesus has to simply grow in our relationship with Him. We must KNOW Him and we must GROW in Him.

Description:As we continue to ask the question, "What is our business?," we look at the outward movement of our growing in our relationship with God.

Description:As we wrap up this series, we go back over the target for which we must aim - as a church and as individual believers.

Description:To what have we really been called? What is the standard by which our lives are measured? Isn't there more?This series is about cultivating a grateful discontentment - appreciating all that God has done in and for us, but longing for more.

Description:Consider the paralyzing power of comfort.

Description:When we come to faith in Jesus, we are given the guarantee of His Spirit. The Spirit gives us these glimpses - tastes of eternity which stir up in us a hunger for more.

Description:This video is an illustration that was used in the message "The Holy Spirit - Part 8 What Does He Want From Me?" Listen to the message and when you hear the brief guitar music interlude toward the end of the message, that is where this video was used in the service.

Description:Gratitude, these days, seems a rare commodity. Psalm 92:1-2 state the clear and obvious truth that we should make it a daily discipline to give thank - and that we should do it a lot. In Part 1 of this series, we are challenged to put it into practice.

Description:"It is good to give thanks to the Lord," (Psalm 92:1). We should tell God of our gratitude - and we should do it a lot. In Part 2 of this series, we consider the Scriptural mandate to give thanks even in the difficult, painful, or challenging things of life.

Description:Giving thanks should be one of our fundamental spiritual disciplines. However, like most good habits, this discipline doesn't just rub off on our kids. We have to pass it on.Check out the video illustration, "The Thanksgiving Chair" on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6znqpPaYzM4

Description:This is the first message of the series. It focuses upon the need to surrender - to stop going our own way. "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." (Jesus, Luke 9:23)

Description:This is the second message of the series. It focuses upon the need to let go of our designs for our lives and embrace God's designs, knowing His are far greater. "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." (Jesus, Luke 9:23)

Description:This is the third message of the series. It focuses upon the need to rest in the sufficiency of God and the perfection of His plan. "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." (Jesus, Luke 9:23)

Description:This series deals with three questions regarding the Holy Spirit:Who is He?How does He work?What does He want from me?

Description:In part 2 of this series on the Holy Spirit, we continue to explore the first question - who is He? Today we look at the name we see several time in the book of John, "The Helper."

Description:Focusing on John 16:7-11, we look at the first work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

Description:In this series about the Holy Spirit, we come to the question, "How does He work?" In John 14:26, Jesus said the the Spirit would teach us "all things."

Description:Be sure to watch the intro video, "The Holy Spirit and the GPS" before you listen to this message.

Description:Continuing our exploration of the nature and work of the Holy Spirit, this message looks at the way the Spirit of God produces fruit in our lives.

Description:This finale to our series on the Holy Spirit is asking the simple but very challenging question: what does the Holy Spirit want from me? There is a video illustration called "Surrender" that is separate. Listen until you hear the short guitar music interlude, then watch the video, then listen to the rest of the message.

Description:This short video is an introduction to Part 5 of the Holy Spirit series. Please pardon our technical rough spots.

Description:This precursor to the "Death Of Duplicity" series deals with the idea of commitment in contrast to that to which we've truly been called - surrender.

Description:Have you ever been wrecked?In this series, we discuss what it means to recognize we are spiritually bankrupt. When it comes down to it, we will be wrecked when we see the absurd grace afforded to us by our great God.
