1 |
Easter 2012 | What would it mean to us if Jesus did not rise from the dead that first Easter? We look at the list of things the Bible says would no longer be true as a reminder of how much we have to celebrate today. 1 Corinthians 15:12-20 | 4/8/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
2 |
Palm Sunday 2012 | The crowds who praised Jesus on Sunday turn against him by Friday, even calling for his death. But this chain of events were not the result of circumstances beyond his control. Rather they were the deliberate actions of Jesus who set his face toward Jerusalem, knowing exactly what that would mean. Luke 9 & 19 | 4/1/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
3 |
The Cost of Following Jesus | While salvation is an absolutely free gift from God that costs nothing, following Christ will cost us something. But as Jesus shows, whatever we feel we lose to follow Him is more than worth the sacrifice. Mark 8:31-38 | 2/26/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
4 |
Desiring God - Money | Have we as Christians learned our attitude toward money from the Bible or absorbed it from contemporary American marketing? This is a critical question as the Bible teaches that there is a way live for greater gain than the love of money offers. 1 Timothy 6:6-10 | 2/19/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
5 |
Desiring God - Marriage | God created human marriage on the pattern of Christ's relationship to the church. And so Paul says that marriage is a "mystery" in that we are granted the privilege to show forth the greatness of a God so much bigger than ourselves. Ephesians 5:22-33 | 2/12/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
6 |
Desiring God - Prayer | In his teachings, Jesus shows prayer to be both the pursuit of God's glory and the pursuit of our joy. It is our joy because it is vital fellowship with Jesus. It is also to His glory as we openly admit that wthout Christ we can do nothing. John 14:13 & 16:24 | 1/29/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
7 |
Desiring God - The Bible | The Bible is a great gift to those who follow Christ. It is what births in us faith and hope. And in it, we find an endless supply of the kindling we need to keep the fire of our joy in God burning brightly. Psalm 19:7-11 | 1/22/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
8 |
Desiring God - Worship | We gather for worship each Sunday at our church. But Jesus warns that our actions in worship can be divorced from the affections of our hearts. How do we express our worship to God while heeding Jesus' warning that it not be "in vain"? Matthew 15:7-9 | 1/15/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
9 |
Desiring God - Is Jesus Your Treasure? | We often use phrases like "believe in Jesus" to mean becoming a Christian. But perhaps that idea has lost some of its meaning in our world. Rather than beleiving in Jesus as Savior (because all want to escape Hell) or Lord (because anyone can submit begrudgingly), what might it mean to receive Jesus as our great treasure? Matthew 13:44 | 1/8/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
10 |
The Little Town of Bethlehem | The 'little town of Bethlehem', so integral to the Christmas story, inspired its own carol. But the means by which God made sure the manger there took center stage involves a powerful Caesar who ends up as a mere footnote in God's greater story. Micah 5:2-5 | 12/18/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
11 |
A Troublesome Baby | The innocence and sweetness of the baby Jesus are part of the Christmas story. Yet from His birth, it was clear that this baby would bring both hope and sorrow. Like the Old Testament prophet Elijah, he would prove to be a "troubler of Israel" and of me. Luke 2:25-35 | 12/11/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
12 |
A Pat on the Back | Studies show that we hear only one encouraging word for each 6 criticisms we receive. And yet who doesn't like to hear "way to go" or "job well done". Today we consider the example of Barnabas and wonder how things might change if we changed this ratio. Proverbs 11:25 | 11/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
13 |
Put Down That Grudge | The heaviest thing you can ever carry is a grudge. Just as God in Christ has forgiven us, we are invited to forgive those who have wronged us. Today we learn the important lesson that forgiven people forgive. Romans 12:17-21 | 11/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
14 |
I Need a Nap | Programmed into creation itself, part of God's order and pace of life, perfectly modeled by Jesus is the need we all have for rest. Yet in the fast-paced world we live in, it is so hard to slow down. Today we consider the importance of and need for rest. Exodus 20:9-11 | 11/6/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
15 |
There's An App For That | We live in a world where there is an "app" for everything. App as in application. Which is why the Bible is alot like your phone: application is everything. Hearing or believing or intending to are not enough. It is what you do that counts. James 1 | 10/30/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
16 |
A Little Goes a Long Way Part 2 | Jesus used a striking symbol as he preached the sermon on the mount: "You are the salt of the earth." And in doing so, He imparts an identity and a function to those who would follw Him. Matthew 5:13 | 10/2/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
17 |
A Little Goes A Long Way Part 1 | While the story of the city of Sodom is most often considered in light of God's judgement, it also shows another aspect of God's nature: that a little righteousness can go a long way. Genesis 18 & 19 | 9/25/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
18 |
I Believe in God, But... Part 4 | The number one competitor for our hearts is money. While we claim faith in God, we often put our trust in money. Today we consider 2 wealthy people who encountered Jesus and see what we can learn from their responses to him. 1 Timothy 6 | 9/18/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
19 |
9/11 Ten Years Later | As we remember the events of September 11th, we look at the words of Jesus to those facing tragedy in his own day. And we find out we are asking the wrong questions when confronting horrible events like these. Luke 13 | 9/11/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
20 |
I Believe in God, But... Part 3 | We often get carried away with our hobbies and interests, but not so much our faith. Jesus had some harsh words to those in the early church who felt the same way. Revelation 3:14-22 | 9/4/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
21 |
I Believe in God, But... Part 2 | Jesus Himself defines eternal life not as heaven, but as knowing God. Today we consider how knowing someone personally, namely God, is much differnt than merely believing in Him. Matthew 7:21-23 | 8/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
22 |
I Believe in God, But... Part 1 | Surveys tell us almost 85% of Americans claim to be Christians. But too often our actions do not back up our words. Some may claim to believe in God, but today we consider what it means to also fear Him. Psalm 36:1-2 | 8/21/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
23 |
Following God In Uncertain Times | The Biblical account of the life of Joseph shows us a man whose life was full of twists and turns. Today we consider the lessons we can learn from him for our own uncertain times. Genesis 37-50 | 8/14/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
24 |
Be Bolder | Following the example of the earliest Christians will require us to be bolder in our stand for Jesus. Acts 5 | 7/17/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

25 |
How To Make the Most of the Time We Have | Sometimes it seems like I cannot fit everything into my day that needs to get done. But Jesus offers insight into how we can increase the capacity of our lives. Matthew 6:31-33 | 5/15/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
26 |
Your Time Is Running Out | Tragedy in the world like the earthquake in Japan or the tornadoes in Alabama remind us that life is short. So today we consider Moses' advice of the proper perspctive to have as it relates to our time on this earth. Psalm 90 | 5/1/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
27 |
Can You Believe in the Resurrection? | The Bible may be the only written record of the resurrection of Jesus, but it is a very reliable one. Today we consider why you can trust the accounts that the writers of the Bible left us in regard to Jesus rising from the dead. 1 Corinthians 15 | 4/24/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
28 |
The Cross | While today we see the cross mostly as jewelry or art or architectural feature, it had a very different meaning in the days of Jesus. And when we examine it in that light, it leaves us with the question, "How will I respond to that?" Mark 15 | 4/10/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
29 |
Let's Talk About Heaven | It seems there are more misconceptions of what heaven is like than truths. Since all who know God through Christ will spend forever there, we look at some things that Bible teaches about our eternal home. Revelation 21 | 4/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
30 |
Choose Life | No one would knowingly choose curses and death over blessings and life. Yet we all make choices daily with life and death, blessing or cursing, in the balance. Today we consider how to be more aware of our choices and that they end on the side of life and blessing and God. Deuteronomy 30 | 3/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

31 |
THE Sign of the Times | Many are pointing to current events as fulfilling the conditions for Jesus' return. But John lists one particular "sign of the times" that may be the most telling of all. 1 John 2 | 3/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

32 |
Spiritual Warfare - Jesus Is Lord | In the final message in this series, we discuss the ultimate key to living in victory. It is found in the main confession of the early church, the powerful truth that Jesus is Lord. Acts 2:36 | 2/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
33 |
Spiritual Warfare - We Have Been Given Authority | While Satan is powerful, we who know Christ have been given a great gift. When we place ourselves under the authority of Christ, He gives us authority over the enemy. Ephesians 1:17-23 | 2/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
34 |
Spiritual Warfare - We Can't Be Temptated to Compromise | When Moses confronted Pharoah, Pharoah tempted Moses with a series of clever compromises. Today we look at how Moses dealt with each one to better prepare us to recognize and avoid them as well. Exodus 8 & 10 | 2/6/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

35 |
Spiritual Warfare - We Make No Room For the Enemy | Paul tells us to make no room for the enemy. Today we discuss the things we can do which invite the devil to get a foothold in our lives. Ephesians 4:27 | 1/30/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Spiritual Warfare - We're Part of This Army | We are not meant to enter this battle alone. Praying all kinds of prayers for all the saints we stand alongside is key to emerging victorious. Ephesians 6 | 1/23/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

37 |
Spiritual Warfare - We Have This Armor | Today we discuss the armor that God has given us to equip us to stand in the spiritual battles we face. Ephesians 6 | 1/16/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

38 |
Spiritual Warfare - We Have An Enemy | The devil is nothing less than the enemy of God and His people. In this sermon, we learn of his origins, his personality, and his methods. Ephesians 6 | 1/9/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

39 |
I'm Not Afraid of the New Year | While we live in uncertain times and do not know what awaits in 2011, we can live in confidence with the presence and provision of God as one certainty in our lives. Hebrews 13:5-6 | 1/2/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

40 |
A Behind the Scenes Look at the Christmas Story | God's gift of forgiveness begins in the manger of Bethlehem. While typically portrayed in a peaceful way, John pulls back the curtain to show us the spiritual battle that was an integral part of Christ's coming to earth.

41 |
Looking For Revival - Part 6 | "...then will I hear from heaven..." God's hearing our cry is the first promise on the way to revival. When we pray according to God's will, God not only hears but promises that we have what we ask. | 11/21/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
42 |
Looking For Revival - Part 5 | "...turn from our wicked ways..." Why is the word wicked here? It is not a word we use to describe ourselves, but it is our "wicked ways" God calls us to turn from. Today we consider what that means as a prerequisite of revival. | 11/14/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
43 |
Looking For Revival - Part 4 | "...and seek my face..." The question that confronts us concerns the urgency or even desperation of our seeking after God. Have we come to the point where nothing can deter us from seeking God? Is God alone enough? | 11/7/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
44 |
Looking For Revival - Part 3 | Prayer is key to revival. We look at the Lord's prayer in Matthew 6 as a model of the kind of prayer God honors. Then we have to ask if the content of our own prayers measures up. | 10/31/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
45 |
Looking For Revival - Part 2 | "...will humble themselves..." Humility is a right view of self based on a right view of God. Scripture leaves us with the choice of either humbling ourselves or waiting until God does the humbling. | 10/24/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
46 |
Looking For Revival - Part 1 | "If My poeple who are called by My name..." In the first message about revival, we look at God's prescription for sending revival found in 2 Chronicles 7:14. Rather than looking outward and blaming the world or our culture, God calls us to look first at ourselves as the reason revival tarries. | 10/17/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
