WHO OR WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR?

It’s a simple question but the answer can both deepen and elevate our praise, our worship, and the day-to-day way we experience the presence and power of Jesus Christ.

No matter how much or how little you have in material riches, this Thanksgiving can be a transforming moment in your life, if you learn the lessons of a message wrapped up in the question: WHO OR WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR?
Listen well.

THE TRUTH ABOUT HEAVEN

So everybody knows what Heaven’s going to be like, right?  Clouds, and wings, and elevator music?
The Bible presents Heaven as the ultimate goal and reward for believers, but how much of our image of this place is truly based on scripture, and how much is well----wrong?

Be prepared to challenge your assumptions.  Take a look at what the Word of God says about our eternal destination. 

Hear a message called THE TRUE STORY OF HEAVEN.

Listen well.

BAD JUDGMENT, GOOD JUDGMENT, & TRUE FRIENDS

The effectiveness of the church out there in the world is constantly hampered by our issues here inside the church, so the Bible says that the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God.  But Jesus also said, Judge not, that you be not judged.

How do we reconcile reconciling the apparent contradiction between the call to judgment and the call to grace?   The solution lies in a fresh understanding of  Biblical idea of friendship.

The message is called  BAD JUDGMENT, GOOD JUDGMENT, & TRUE FRIENDS.

Listen well.

HOW YOU BUILD A BETTER YOU

Most of us want to be better----- better husbands, better wives, better at our jobs, have better relationships, have better finances.  The demand for improvement creates an abundant supply of advice from everyone about how you can be better at being you.

But what advice does Jesus give?

In a brief parable Jesus, the master carpenter, provides a powerful framework for constructing the kind of life that you’ve been seeking.

Hear a message about the parable of the two builders and learn what the Word of God says about HOW YOU BUILD A BETTER YOU.

Listen well.
