The Sacrifice of Praise
As believers, we are in a fight of faith and God has not left us weaponless. Our weapons are the Name of Jesus, the Word of God and the Blood of the Lamb. Unfortunately, many Christians do not even know what their weapons are, let alone know how to wield them. In this message, Pastor Chris expounds on Hebrews 13:15 and 16. He delves into how we launch our spiritual weapons into the heavenly realm where the real battle takes place--through prayer, proclamation and praise. Of these three, his focus in this message is praise.

- Oct 17, 2021The Lost SonS
The Lost SonSWe are battling in our time a certain mentality within the body of Christ of people who are so disconnected from the world in which they live, that they do not recognize the needs around them. The Church needs a paradigm shift when it comes to the love and grace and mercy of God towards those who are away from Him. In this message, Pastor Chris wraps up his series on Luke 15, looking at the final parable in verses 11 - 32. He points out that, although we are well aware of the lost son who left home, there was another lost son who also needed to repent--the one who stayed home but became self-righteous. Self-righteousness can put us as far away from God as going into a "far country".

Greater ThanIn this message, Pastor Anthony looks at the different characters we see in the passage from Luke 7:36 - 50. He reminds us that we must remain humble like the woman who worshipped Jesus and not allow ourselves to become arrogant and proud like the Pharisees. We must remember that God is greater than our past, greater than our sins, greater than our shortcomings, greater than all.
- Oct 3, 2021The Lost Coin
The Lost CoinThe value of an object is based on what someone is willing to pay for it, no matter what other value is placed on it. God revealed our value by the exorbitant price He paid for us through the cross of Jesus Christ. In this message, Pastor Chris continues looking at the parables in Luke 15, focusing on verses 8 - 10. We are reminded that because of our value to God, He will not abandon His search for a lost soul. And, as believers, we should mimic His desire to see the lost come to Jesus.
- Sep 26, 2021The Lost Sheep
The Lost SheepThe Lord never wants us to forget His burden for people without Him. In this message, Pastor Chris dives into Luke 15, beginning with the first parable in verses 1 - 7 and points out that the subject of this, and the following parables, is not the lost sheep; but rather, the response of the shepherd to that lost sheep. He exhorts us to not become callous to the lost people around us, for those are the ones whom Jesus came to seek and to save--not explorers, not adventurers--lost people.

How Long Will You Waver?One of the greatest keys to enduring success is learning how to make the right kind of decisions. And our lives are not a matter of chance, but choice. In this message, Pastor Chris exhorts us from 1 Kings 18:18 - 21 to make the choice to choose Jesus. He reminds us that God did give us the freedom to make any decision we want; but, with every decision, there is a consequence.
- Sep 12, 2021Being the Person God Can Use
Being the Person God Can UseThere is much unrealized potential in many lives, but that is not how God created us. Pastor Chris, using 1 Kings 19:19 - 21, reminds us that the Lord, Who redeemed us from our sins and restored us into the image of God, has chosen us and has called us for a higher purpose. Pastor Chris lays out three points on how we can realize our purpose in God and live it out to the fullest.
- Jul 4, 2021Fanatic Freedom
Fanatic FreedomIn this Independence Day message, Pastor Anthony brings an encouraging word from John 8:31 - 36, reminding us of where we find our true freedom. As believers, we need to grab a hold of the freedom and authority we have through and in Jesus Christ and walk as His light in this world. Because He bought our complete freedom from the power of Satan, we are free to live as Christ's ambassador's in this earth!
- Jun 27, 2021God Brought Us Out To Bring Us In
God Brought Us Out To Bring Us InIn this message, Pastor Chris looks at the passage in Deuteronomy 6, focusing on verse 23, to look at God's purpose for redeeming us. We begin to grasp some things from the experience of the Israelites in the desert of how God takes us out of the negative and brings us into the positive, in order that we might possess His promises. We must remember though that, along the way, what happens in us is of far more importance that what happens to us.

The Contents of Conquest (Jericho Must Fall)As we walk out our salvation, learning of and embracing the promises of God, we will encounter obstacles to those promises--walls that seem insurmountable. We see in Joshua 6 a battle plan for conquering those walls and seeing them fall. Pastor Chris highlights three points from this passage that will give us the tools to see the walls fall.
