Change of Plans
Just like Mary and Joseph did as a young engaged couple, sometimes we experience major changes in our plans. Changes that we could not foresee coming and that we don’t understand how to handle. The good news of Christmas is that we don’t have to understand the plans to know that God has a purpose.
For Changing the Way We See History
Jesus changes the way we see and understand everything – the world around us, our relationship with God and even our own personal past. Join us as we consider how Jesus has changed the meaning of countless lives throughout history and how He wants to help rewrite your story, starting today.
For Giving Us Everything
As we consider some of the many reasons why the baby born at Christmas deserves our worship, today we’re thinking about a claim from a man who knew Jesus well. Peter’s claim is that our relationship with Jesus provides for us everything we will ever need for a life of godliness. Join us as we […]

For Giving Us Hope
What a strange thing it is to worship a newborn baby! And yet, this is the call of Christmas. Join us for the first Sunday of Advent as we prepare our hearts for the coming of the Christ child, by learning from those who had the privilege of meeting the baby Jesus because they had […]
All Things
Join us as we consider the implications of Romans 8:28 and the promise that God works through all things in order to bring about good in our lives. These precious promises help us keep the faith as we go through life’s difficulties.
You’re Not Enough
We spend much of our lives thinking that if we could look a certain way and have a certain lifestyle that it would make us happy, and so we acquire, consume and sweat as much as we can to work our way there. However, life experience and biblical truth teach that you are not enough […]

Thievery
One of the keys to finding happiness in this life is to realize and confess that I can be my own worst enemy and that following my own ideas is never as helpful as following Jesus, who is our Good Shepherd. When we respond to our desire for happiness by pursuing the pleasures of this […]
Happy Money
Is there a connection between money and happiness? Most of us seem to believe so, but it’s not what we think. Join us for Part Four of the series as we look at what Jesus has to say about money and how managing it properly can increase our happiness.
Peace with God
One of the keys to being happy in this life is finding peace, and specifically peace with God. Peace with God makes all other kinds of peace available and possible, which is essential for our happiness. Join us as we consider our obstacles to peace with God and what He has done through Jesus to […]
Sowing
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus provides for us a description of what it looks like to be happy! Join us as we consider these eight principles and how when we apply them to our daily lives the outcome they bring is happiness.
No Thing
We begin a new sermon series today, borrowed from Pastor Andy Stanley and North Point Church in Atlanta, GA – What Makes You Happy. Have you ever felt like someone stole your joy or like no matter what you try it is difficult to feel and stay happy? We’re going to dig deep into God’s […]

Through His Word
As a conclusion to our study in hearing God’s voice, we stop to notice that most everything God wants us to hear from Him He has already said and it is recorded in our Bibles. We also take a look at several passages of Scripture that specifically mention God’s will for our lives, which is […]
A Little Help From Our Friends
1 Samuel 3 serves as a great example of the fact that sometimes we need others to help us notice the voice of God. Join us for this study in hearing God’s voice in the context of our human relationships.
Hearing the Spirit
In our efforts to better hear the voice of God in our lives, today we turn our attention to John 16 and Jesus’ promise that He would provide someone to minister and speak to us in His absence, the Spirit of truth. Join us as we consider Jesus’ words and the reality that as His […]

Offering Forgiveness
Our last message in the series calls attention to forgiveness as the key to not spending our energy on pointing fingers or placing blame. The best way for our hearts to heal and move forward is to offer forgiveness. We know this is true because Jesus both taught it and modeled it.
Making the Most of It
There are times in life when we are dealt an unfair hand, when we are faced with circumstances and treatment we do not deserve. In those moments, we have choices to make – will we spend our energy blaming others or make the most of it? Follow along in this study of Genesis 37-39 as […]

Owning It
Everyone is born with a tendency to want to find fault, place blame and point fingers at others when things go wrong. From the Garden of Eden to now this has been our nature. An honest look at ourselves and at 1 John 1:5-2:2 will help us gain perspective and start owning what is ours.
Jehovah’s Witnesses
Our last look at world religions takes us into the history and beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Can a group who calls Jesus “Savior” and holds the Scriptures in high regard really be that different from our Christian churches? John 1:1-5 serves as our text as we answer these questions and more.

Mormonism
The Church of Latter Day Saints, otherwise known as the Mormons, appears to be in sync with Christianity at first glance. However, as you dig further into the history and beliefs of the Mormons, it becomes quite clear that the two have very little in common. This is especially true in light of passages of […]
Hinduism
Using Psalm 139 as our setting for both Mother’s Day and this message, we consider the biblical theme of a personal God who knows us intimately and who is responsible for our creation and redemption, in contrast with the spirituality of Hinduism, which holds no such beliefs.
