- Oct 13, 2019Who Are You Really
Oct 13, 2019Who Are You ReallyBy: Wade UrbanHow do you finish the statement, regarding yourself, "I am..."? Who we are has nothing to do with what we do. But rather, our doing flows from our being, our identity. As Wade Urban shows us from Numbers 13:27 - 33, having a "grasshopper" identity can keep us from God's promises. To live as we were created to live, we must keep our focus on Jesus and get our identity from Him.
- Oct 9, 2019Live the Standard
Oct 9, 2019Live the StandardWe tend to forget that we serve a just and holy God. All believers have a standard to live a holy life by the power of Holy Spirit. As Pastor Anthony exhorts us from 1 Peter 1:3 - 16, we are representatives of Jesus 24/7. But, it is not about perfection; it is about being humble and repentant before the Lord.

Oct 6, 2019Set Into MotionBy: Connie UrbanWhat is God setting into motion today? As Connie Urban shows us from the life of Rahab, God is always setting things into motion.

- Oct 2, 2019Keep Your Head On A Swivel
Oct 2, 2019Keep Your Head On A SwivelAs believers, our walk with Jesus cannot just have a once-a-week check-up. We must stay alert and be aware of our enemy's methods. Referencing Ephesians 6:10 & 11, Pastor Anthony highlights that we are made strong only in God's might and he shows several ways by which that is accomplished.
- Sep 29, 2019First Love
Sep 29, 2019First LoveBy: Wade UrbanIn this message, Wade Urban references Revelation 2:1 - 7 and exhorts us to remember who we are, to remember our first love. Without first love, all that is left is dead orthodoxy. And we must also remember that we do not live FOR God; we live FROM Him.
- Sep 25, 2019Shine…You Be the Light!
Sep 25, 2019Shine…You Be the Light!By: Evelyn KounsIn her powerful testimony, Evelyn Kouns reminds us to shine and be the light that Matthew 5:14 - 16 references.

- Sep 22, 2019Lessons From Lepers
Sep 22, 2019Lessons From LepersIn the four lepers we encounter in 2 Kings 7, we see a picture of our lives in relation to the Gospel. In this message, Pastor Chris points out these similarities and emphasizes our need to share the blessing.
- Sep 18, 2019Just In Case
Sep 18, 2019Just In CaseAs a church, our focus must remain on the message of the Gospel and repentance, no matter who fills the pulpit or comes and goes in leadership. Jesus is the focus, not a person or a program. As Pastor Chris points out, this was Paul's admonition to the Ephesian church in Acts 20:17 - 35. As Paul exhorted that church so many years ago, we have the same goal--to not compromise that message that says you have to have a change of life, a change of direction--you have to have Jesus.
- Sep 15, 2019Hugging a Porcupine
Sep 15, 2019Hugging a PorcupineWe ought to thank God for the difficult persons in our lives because, if nothing else, they show us what we don't want to be. In this message, Pastor Chris references 2 Timothy 2:20 - 26 and gives us three points for dealing with the difficult people in our lives, the porcupines in our lives.
- Sep 11, 2019Choose Life
Sep 11, 2019Choose LifeThere is a pervasive pawl of death that hangs over America. Although suicide is not a new concept, it is a weapon the enemy is seemingly using more aggressively. God wants us to choose life, not death. As long as we have breath, God has a purpose for our life. In this timely and meaningful message, Pastor Chris encourages us from Deuteronomy 30 to choose life and points to two practical ways to resist the lies from the enemy.
- Sep 8, 2019Fan the Flame
Sep 8, 2019Fan the FlameAs Dr. E. Stanley Jones put it, "The human spirit fails unless the Holy Spirit fills." All of us were made for passion. We need to have purpose, but we also need passion, a fire that burns on the inside of us. We need to have such a flame burning in our heart that, come what may, Satan cannot extinguish it. Be encouraged with this message as Pastor Chris preaches from 2 Timothy 1:3 - 9.
- Sep 1, 2019How To Get from Here To Heaven

- Aug 25, 2019Genuine Love
Aug 25, 2019Genuine LoveThe thing that is going to transform people's lives is not performance. But rather, a sincere, genuine, unwaxed loved as Christ demonstrated on the cross. In this message, Pastor Chris looks at Romans 12:9 - 21 and dares us to live our lives without the mask and to truly love people, letting our "love be without hypocrisy."
- Aug 18, 2019The Baptism of Holy Ghost
Aug 18, 2019The Baptism of Holy GhostAt the moment of conversion, Holy Ghost takes up residence within us. But, there is an experience following conversion that turbo-charges our life as a believer. As Pastor Chris shows from Acts 2:1 - 4, the initial, physical evidence of Holy Spirit infilling is speaking in other tongues. We need that power component to be effective at all God has for us. And it is a gift for ALL believers.
- Aug 4, 2019A New Day & A New Beginning
Aug 4, 2019A New Day & A New BeginningWe cannot look back at how God has moved in the past and expect Him to move that way now or in the future. Reading from Jeremiah 31:31 - 34, Pastor Chris lays out three concepts that we need for a new day and a new beginning so that we can move forward into all that God has for us.
- Jul 31, 2019What To Do With The World
Jul 31, 2019What To Do With The WorldBy: Chris CainWhat is the Church to do with the world? We cannot abandon it but we cannot blend into it either. There are two extremes that the Church needs to avoid--licentiousness and legalism. How can we avoid both extremes? Find out in this message as Chris references 1 John 2:15 - 17.
- Jul 28, 2019Forgetting, Reaching, Pressing
Jul 28, 2019Forgetting, Reaching, PressingBy: Chris CainWho am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? Many people are searching for answers to these questions. We can find the answers only in Jesus Christ. He tells us who we are, why we are here and what our purpose is. Referencing Philippians 3:7 - 15, Chris shows us how to practically accomplish finding our identity and living purposefully.
- Jul 24, 2019Transitions
Jul 24, 2019TransitionsBy: Chris CainOnly one thing is certain in life--there will be change. How we handle that change will say a lot about us. Our path does not always follow a straight route. But, if we keep our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, we can navigate the detours and bring glory to God in the midst of the transitions. In this message, Chris shares some ideas about navigating the transitions of life, using Acts 15:36 - 16:9 as an example.
- Jul 21, 2019Dealing with Jezebel
Jul 21, 2019Dealing with JezebelBy: Chris CainThere is an idea, an attitude, that, when it gets loose, can hinder or even halt a move of God. It is not always evident and always has an agenda. Its ultimate desire is to control, to dominate and to dictate. This attitude is serious about winning, no matter the cost and no matter who gets hurt in the process. Referencing 1 Kings 21:1 - 18 and Revelation 2:18 - 20, Chris talks about this deadly attitude and how we can deal with it.
