A message from the series "Unity in the Church." This Sunday Pastor Dave will take us to Romans 12. Please read chapter 12 in its entirety with a focus on verses 1 & 2. In your study, think about how we as believers are to present ourselves as “living sacrifices”. To honor our Lord, Jesus Christ, for the price He paid for us, we have a commitment to yield our body, mind, and will to allow God to work through us. Take some quiet time this week reading and praying over this important chapter in God’s word.

A message from the series "Unity in the Church." On Sunday we will turn to Matthew 20:1-16 “Laborers in the Vineyard” for our message. In this parable, Jesus was addressing the motive for service. What is the “right attitude”? When God sees our heart, does He see a humble gratitude for His generosity or that of a prideful complaining servant? Take some special time this week reading and praying over this parable examining what our Lord might see in your heart.

A message from the series "Unity in the Church." As we start a new ministry year this Sunday, Pastor Dave will bring us back to John 17, focusing on verses 20-26. We will look at what was at the center of Christ’s mind for the church as he approached the cross, namely that they would be one. Please take time this week to read and pray over this portion of scripture keeping in mind the message of “unity”.

A message from the series "Lord teach us to Pray." This Sunday, the last prayer in our “Sacred Conversations” series, will be Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer in John 17. In this snapshot of time, we see Jesus offers intercessory prayers on our behalf. As you read and pray over this scripture, be thankful that with the cross looming before Him, Jesus poured His heart out to the Father on behalf of His people.

A message from the series "Lord teach us to Pray." This Sunday Pastor Dave will open to us message #9 in the series “Sacred Conversations”. We will be looking at Matthew 26:36-46, Jesus’ prayer at Gethsemane. A place that was important to God’s plan of redemption. Jesus, who knew no sin, yielding to the will of the Father was facing the moment where He would stand in the place of guilty sinners.

A message from the series "Lord teach us to Pray." This Sunday, Pastor Chris will teach on the next prayer selection in the “Sacred Conversations” series, Jonah 2. Jonah, in his disobedience, wound up in the most dire of situations. In the depths of his trial, Jonah cried out to the Lord in repentant prayer. God, who does not forsake His own, heard and answered. As you read and pray over this scripture be thankful that our Lord calls us into obedience through trials.

A message from the series "Lord teach us to Pray." On Sunday Pastor Dave will continue with the message series “Sacred Conversations”. We will be looking at the beautiful Psalm 107. A psalm of thanksgiving and praise. As you read and study, please take note of the four wonderful pictures praising God for his deliverance. “His steadfast love will endure forever!”

A message from the series "Lord teach us to Pray." This Sunday Pastor Dave will continue with message #6 in the series “Sacred Conversations”. Have you ever found yourself in a place where you felt the weight of unresolved sin? In Psalm 32, David expresses his time in rebellion against God and the goodness of God’s mercy when he came to repentance. As you read and contemplate over this Psalm, focus on the message of Confession and Repentance.

A message from the series "Lord teach us to Pray." Sunday will be week #5 in the series “Sacred Conversations”. Pastor Dave will take us to the parable of the “Pharisee and the Tax Collector” in Luke 18:9-14. In our services, we have had conversations in regard to the “posture of the heart”. Pay special attention to the contrast in heart posture of these two men as they pray to God. Pastor Dave will teach and speak into this on Sunday.

A message from the series "Lord teach us to Pray." This Sunday we will hear message #4 in the series “Sacred Conversations”. Our study scripture will be 1 Samuel 1:15. In this section Hannah “a woman of grace” in her anguish of being barren went to the tabernacle to pray. Her suffering was made only to the Lord. Hannah was pouring herself out to God in a prayer of submission and sacrifice so much so that Eli the priest thought her to be drunk. As you read this story in 1 Samuel, ask if your own prayers connect with God at a heart level in a similar way as to the prayer of Hannah.
