AUTHORITY ISSUES - Authority Issues Pt. 2

Sun, 28 Sep 2008 20:42:00 EST

We run away from authority because we don’t like other people having power over us—we don’t like to be dominated. But in this message, Pastor Steve shows us that authority is not about domination, but protection. And only by living under authority can we learn to lead others effectively and discover God’s best for our lives.

TABLE - Table Pt. 6

Sun, 14 Sep 2008 20:41:00 EST

MORPH - Keep the Change

Sun, 03 Aug 2008 20:29:00 EST

When it comes to change, it’s great to start the process. It’s vital that we connect with the true change agent, Jesus Christ, and begin to walk down the path he leads. And we must understand that along with change comes conflict; and when we work through the conflict, we experience amazing growth. But what’s next? How can we hope to maintain the changes we make as life moves forward? In this message, Pastor Steve reveals some very practical steps we need to take if we hope to keep the change. Because when it comes to the art of change, we must continue building on the foundation Christ has laid before us.

MORPH - Walking the Path Part 2

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 21:00:00 EST

We all have some lockers in life that we don't want to open up. We try very hard to LOSE THE LOCK, to FORGET the COMBINATION so we never have to see what's in there again. What's INSIDE is very REAL, but PAINFUL, or SHAMEFUL and so we would rather keep it HIDDEN, we want to keep the door SHUT ON THAT SHAME. And we definitely don't want anyone else getting a PEEK INSIDE of those lockers. LET CHRIST BE THE KEEPER OF THE KEYS. LET JESUS BE THE LORD OF YOUR LOCKER ROOM.

MORPH - Walking the Path

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 20:46:00 EST

Some people DREAD, even avoid change, while others seek it out like the next big thing, latest FAD or adrenaline rush. But change isn’t always what we think it is. When it comes to morphing our lives, we think it only takes a certain amount of DETERMINATION, DRIVE, and DISCIPLINE.

This is the second part of the last weeks message: Making Change.

MORPH - Making Change

Sun, 01 Jun 2008 08:19:00 EST

Most people like to hide the ugly spots of life away from all eyes. No one wants to expose what they've done wrong. We're learning this week that we can't hide that stuff from God. What we cover and try to hide, God uncovers and makes us stronger. God is not out for us, but desires to make us better.

FAITH-DWELLERS - Breaks Bread

Sun, 18 May 2008 17:03:00 EST

Sun, 11 May 2008 23:01:00 EST

Happy Mother's Day! This week we are discussing the importance of serving one another. We shouldn't focus so much on ourselves, but how we can better serve others.

FAITH DWELLERS - No Christians Allowed

Sun, 27 Apr 2008 22:47:00 EST

DOORS - Marital Fashions

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 00:00:00 EST

Relationships are never easy. This week we are taking a look at what God thinks about relationships. One of the biggest relationships that we can have is a marriage. We are discussing the importance of working in a relationship. Relationships are not just good feelings, there is lots of work involved. We are taking a look at love being a choice and not something that you fall into.

DOORS - Positivity

Sun, 06 Apr 2008 00:00:00 EST

In a world that can be so full of uncertainty, negativity seems to be the norm. After all, it’s everywhere we turn. From the impact of the media to the repercussions of our own attitudes, the door of negativity has the dangerous ability to keep us from experiencing the most out of life. In this message, Pastor Steve shows us how negativity was never God’s design for our lives. Through the example of God’s chosen people, the Israelites, he shows how negativity can run rampant if we don’t slam the door. And as we learn the right choice to make for this door decision, we discover the path that can lead us to God and the life of "positivity" he has in store for us all.

DOORS - Closing the Door on Debt

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 00:00:00 EST

No matter how much money we make, the door of debt can lead us into serious financial trouble. But in today’s world, we think debt is a way of life. After all, it’s the American way—if you can’t afford it, borrow money so you can; if you can afford it, buy two! But what we fail to realize is that debt is more than just owing money to a few people. Opening the door to debt is a deeper, spiritual issue. In this message, Pastor Steve shows us how closing the door on debt is a spiritual issue as well. And as we learn three biblical principles of money management, we see that debt comes down to the question, “Do I trust God with my money?” And when we can answer yes to that question and follow His plan for our lives, we will discover just what it takes to close the door on debt.

DOORS - Samples of the Savior

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 00:00:00 EST

More often than not, when you walk through a mall food court there is usually someone out there handing out free samples of food. They figure that once you try it, then you will want to get a full meal at their restaurant. The problem is they tend to hang out with the food court familiars, trying to feed the already fed.

Is this the problem with the church today? Are we trying to feed the already fed? In this message, Pastor Steve talks about how we need to bust out of the food court and offer samples of the Savior to those passing by.

COMFORTABLE - Vision of One

Sun, 09 Mar 2008 00:00:00 EST

Jesus was accused by the religious elite of his day of being a friend of sinners. He befriended those that the religious leaders despised. He set the example for us. We are not any better than any one else. We also need to be willing to leave our comfort zone in order to impact others for Christ.

COMFORTABLE - God-Cast

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 00:00:00 EST

GOD-ONLINE - Finest Hour

Sun, 03 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST

Pastor Steve puts the rest of life's pursuits in proper perspective by comparing them with the eternal business that takes place in the church. He also talks about what we should be doing throughout the week as we prepare for this important time of corporate worship.

GOD-ONLINE - Ultimate Introduction

Sun, 27 Jan 2008 00:00:00 EST

GOD-ONLINE - 110 Hours of Worship

Sun, 20 Jan 2008 00:00:00 EST

Worship should be happening all the time; not just at Sunday gathering. We shouldn't only worship when we gather, but also when we scatter. Excluding sleeping times (8 hours a day) and 2 hours on Sundays (for the gatherings) we are left with 110 waking hours to worship.

GOD-ONLINE - Style Vs. Substance

Sun, 13 Jan 2008 00:00:00 EST

Ever since Cain killed Abel over a style of worship it's been happening ever since. What some people don't understand is that it is not particularly the style of worship that we need to be concerned about. It is the substance behind it.

GOD-ONLINE - Wired for Worship

Sun, 06 Jan 2008 00:00:00 EST

Often the first thing one thinks of when they hear the word worship is the music that is sung in a church. Worship is so much more than that. Every action that we do can be an act of worship. In fact, we are wired for worship.

THE RESOLUTION SOLUTION

Sun, 30 Dec 2007 00:00:00 EST

If you are like the vast majority of humanity, then you've made a "New Year's resolution" that you didn't keep. It's like the same cycle year after year. With God's help we can break that cycle.

THE DIVINE

Sun, 23 Dec 2007 00:00:00 EST

IN THE ZONE - Construction Zone

Sun, 09 Dec 2007 00:00:00 EST

Have you ever seen the newest technology or gadget in a commercial on the television and you think to yourself that you have to have it? Have you ever been guilty of trying to keep up with the Jones? Let us get closer to God and stay away from materialism.

IN THE ZONE - Walking the Check

Sun, 02 Dec 2007 00:00:00 EST

You would never go to a good restaraunt, appreciate the meal and then walk out without paying for it. That is called "walking the check". Well, many times in life God blesses us, we say we appreciate it but we never really honor Him by bringing the tithe.

IN THE ZONE - Skittles

Sun, 25 Nov 2007 00:00:00 EST

God is for us. He wants to bless us. In fact, God has given us all some Skittles, some a small heap and some a big heap. God wants us to enjoy the Skittles, He just asks that we bring some back to Him. This is what it means to live IN THE ZONE.

IN THE ZONE - God-Hearted

Sun, 18 Nov 2007 00:00:00 EST

Sun, 21 Oct 2007 00:00:00 EST

Once a person finds God through faith in Jesus Christ the next step is to follow Jesus in baptism. Baptism is the symbolic act of identifying with Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection.

THE WAY OF JESUS - Worship

Sun, 14 Oct 2007 00:00:00 EST

When we experience God, we enjoy Him. Our next step is to express our thanks back to God. This is called the cycle of praise. When we learn to live in the cycle of praise we learn to overcome all that life throws at us.

THE WAY OF JESUS - Faith

Sun, 07 Oct 2007 00:00:00 EST
