Does your life feel like it is unraveling?  Do you feel like you are at the end of your rope?  Today we will look at how to find focus in the midst of the fray.

Are you needing direction?  Today we will look at the words of Jesus found in John 16.   Below is the notes. If you have no moral compass for your life, then you have no compass at all. Without God’s moral compass you are living with no direction. That’s why every step you take is uneasy. That is why you are  worried what will happen next. Worried if you can keep your composure. You just hope you can hold it together and not appear as a fool.  Without God’s Moral Compass, each step is taken in hope that it’s the right step. Each moment carries endless opportunities for the wrong decision. Every action made can only be justified by you. Are you in the midst of confusion right now?  Not knowing what to do?  Not knowing how to respond or how to act. Listen, Jesus isn’t here right now. Unfortunately, I am unable to ask that He come to you physically And tell you what to do or what to say or how

We often think of testing and trials as conflicts that keep us from moving forward.  Today we learn that testing and trials are indicators of where we have been and they are the next steps to where we are going. Trails indicate where we have been and determine where we can go.

Today we will look at how fear often brings isolation, when the situation demands our participation.  If there is one thing that we hope you walk away with today it is: God wants a relationship with you. What do you have to lose?

Today we will examine verse 13 of Matthew 23.  In this passage Jesus mentions that Pharisees and Teachers of the Law close the door of Heaven in people's faces.  Today we will examine this idea and how we as Christian can easily fall into the same pattern of the Pharisees and Teachers of the Law. The Main Take Away: When Communication Breaks Down, Walls Go Up.  When Walls Go Up, Pride Sets In.  When Pride Sets In, No One Wins.

When it comes to your faith.  When it comes down to how you practice your faith, is it more about form or function?  That is, is it more about appearance over action?  When addressing the Pharisees and Teachers of the Law in Matthew 23, Jesus rebukes their form of faith.  He addresses how they appeared on the outside and what was lacking on the inside.

Today we examine the action of the Shepherds found in the Nativity Story.  It was their actions to seek the New Born King that became the most pivitol moment in their lives.  Do you seek Christ out? 

Fear is the dividing wall of being where you are to where God wants you to be.  Only when you move past your fears into trusting in God, can you experience the beauty of what God desires for you.  Don't allow Fear to paralyze you in your tracks.   This sermon is looking at the story of Joseph and the Angel telling him to not fear.  We will be looking at Matthew 1.

If you feel isolated removed and distance you need to know that God loves you and prefers you.  For many, the enemy has told you that the hardache you are going through is proof that God doesn't love you.  When you believe the enemies lies, you begin to blame God and become unwilling to retreat into God's fatherly arms.  The enemy uses fear to frustrate faith.   Today we look at the story of Mary in the Nativity Story found in Luke 1.  

To live life to the fullest as a Christian means that we are to completely die to ourselves.

It may be hard to believe that hope can be found in the midst of suffering, but scripture shows us that even in our worst state, God was still on our side.

This was a unique Sunday in which we revealed and celebrated the amount of money that was commited over a two years in order to purchase a new facility.

Tate Gentry preaches this morning.

Are you joyful?  Really?! Deep down inside do you have a joy that overflows?  Today we examine John 15:1-11 and look at the neccessity of abiding in Christ.  

Today we bring everything together in order to know the full meaning of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.  We examine Revelation 5 and find that there in front of the thone a Lion who is Majestic and a Lamb who is Meek.  

Today we examine a familiar story in the Bible of Daniel in the Lion's Den.  Get a fresh perspective on an old story.

We have an enemy that is like a lion.  He is only an imposter. 

The Blessing that Jacob gives to Judah is one in regards to a New King and the establishment of a New Kingdom.  Join us today as we study Genesis 49 and learn more about this Kingdom that the Lion of the Tribe of Judah will establish.

Today we discover the meaning behind the name Lion in the title, Lion of the Tribe of Judah.  Today we will dive deep into Genesis 49:8-10.
