- Jun 13, 2021Facing Failure
Facing FailureThe road to success is lined with failings. And whether those failings are good or bad lies in the eyes of the beholder. We need to use our failures to become a better person, rather than a bitter person.

- Jun 6, 2021Simplicity
SimplicityHave we lost the real simplicity of our relationship with Jesus? It seems that when it comes to faith and our walk with God, we have overcomplicated it.

In this message, Pastor Chris highlights four simple and essential truths about serving Jesus from the passage found in Luke 10:38 - 42.

What To Do When You Feel Like Giving UpWe are all going to have seasons, moments, situations when we find ourselves bummed out, wanting to give up. What do we do in those moments?

- May 9, 2021Don’t Tap Out
Don’t Tap OutIn today's culture, it is easy to become overwhelmed and want to throw in the towel as a believer. And although it will get more difficult as time goes, we must learn to tap into God's power and strength so that we can endure. In this message, Pastor Anthony encourages us to do just that, to "endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus." (2 Timothy 2:3) We have the message of hope and salvation that the world desperately needs, so we must persevere by knowing who we are in Christ and relying on Him to strengthen and empower us.
- Apr 25, 2021Do You Want to Get Well?
Do You Want to Get Well?Salvation is not just a "get-out-of-hell-free" card; salvation is just the beginning of all that Jesus accomplished on the cross. He wants us to be completely whole--body, soul AND spirit. Pastor Chris delves into this idea and expounds on Jesus' encounter with the sick man found in John 5:1 - 15. Pastor Chris lays out three points from that poignant question asked by Jesus, "Do you want to get well?"
- Apr 11, 2021Defeating the Killer Vines
Defeating the Killer VinesThe word "worry" comes from an old Anglo-Saxon word meaning "to choke". This is an appropriate definition as worry tends to strangle and suffocate us. In this message, Pastor Chris takes inspiration from his weeping cherry tree and Philippians 4:4 - 8 to remind us that if we do not allow Holy Spirit to prune us and clear out the strangling vines of worry in our life, we will be stifled, suffocated and eventually have a fruitless life.
- Apr 4, 2021Christ is Risen: So What?
Christ is Risen: So What?
The passion of the earliest believers who carried the Good News to their world did not come from frightened followers who seemingly knew of a skeleton. The resurrection of Jesus is an historic fact that even non-biblical historians never denied. Christ is risen! So what does that mean for us today? In this powerful Easter message, Pastor Chris lays out three points of application from Romans 6:1 - 4 and shows us how our lives can be empowered when applied.

It Starts Right HereAs believers, we have the Answer the hurting world is searching for.

In this message, Pastor Anthony reminds us that the revival we pray for and long for starts with us allowing God to do that necessary work.
- Mar 14, 2021Seven Guarantees for the Days to Come
Seven Guarantees for the Days to ComeIn our current age, we have abundant access to technology that supposedly makes our life better.

In this message, Pastor Chris references Daniel 12:1 - 4 and gives us seven guarantees that we can sink our teeth into in this ever changing world.
- Mar 7, 2021Redeemed by the Blood
Redeemed by the BloodDuring this service, Pastor Chris reminds us that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins (Hebrews 9:22). And because Jesus laid down His life at the cross, He alone can wash away our sins. He alone can do in us what has to be done, that we cannot do for us and ours. He came to redeem us from our fallen nature, to reconcile us to God. And, as Scripture proclaims, "...God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
- Feb 21, 2021Fear No Evil

In this message, Pastor Chris encourages us from Psalm 23, highlighting verse 4. He reminds us that even in the midst of the darkness, we can fear no evil. There is an enemy, but we need not fear because the Greater One is with us.

He calls us to fast, pray and earnestly seek God during this particular time in our nation.
- Jan 3, 2021First Things First
First Things FirstOne of the most important lessons for life is setting and maintaining priorities. And the thread which should run throughout every one of those priorities is the Kingdom of God.

He encourages us that if we keep our relationship and our walk with God where it rightly belongs, He will help us to keep everything else in its appropriate focus.

- Dec 13, 2020Born In a Manger, Raised On a Cross
Born In a Manger, Raised On a CrossWe cannot forget, in the wander of the Christmas season, in seeing the nativity recreations, that the manger is indivisibly connected to the cross. As Pastor Chris reminds us from John 3:1 - 17, the baby found in a manger at Bethlehem was born to die on the cross of Calvary, to be the Savior for all. Jesus is the expression of God's love for every single person.
- Dec 6, 2020Launch Out Into the Deep
Launch Out Into the DeepJesus calls us to take an adventure of faith with Him, going deeper into the things of God, all to be used for His glory. No matter how long a believer has walked with God, there are deeper depths for him or her. So what kind of people does God use for His glory? In this message, Pastor Chris references Luke 5:1 - 11 to describe the five kinds of people that God uses and wants to take deeper into Him.
- Nov 29, 2020Beating Babylon
Beating BabylonIs life just the pursuit of being happy? Tragically, in the world, and even in the Church, people are pursuing happiness rather than holiness. Our great challenge as believers today is battling to beat Babylon--not losing our pursuit of holiness for the pursuit of happiness. In this message, Pastor Chris gives us three great keys to live a holy life in the midst of Babylon, just as Daniel did in Daniel 1:1 - 8.
