“Better: Faith that Pleases God” It is interesting how we gravitate toward heroes; how heroes can inspire us. There is nothing wrong with having heroes, as long we choose the right ones. Hebrews 11 points us to heroes of faith and faithfulness to God, and in vv. 4-7 we meet the first three: Abel, Enoch and Noah.

“Better: Seeing the Invisible” The writer of Hebrews defines faith as being able to see the invisible; trusting the unseen God more than what is seen with your natural eye.

“Drift: The Sickness of Self-sufficiency” Have you ever drank lukewarm water before? If so, your first response is to spit it right back out of your mouth. This is the picture that Jesus uses in His letter to Laodicea. Our self-sufficiency makes Jesus sick. Today we will learn what self-sufficiency does to us and what it takes to depend on […]

“Drift: Making a Name for Yourself” In every other letter, Jesus commends the church for things they are doing well and corrects them for ways they have drifted. But He has no rebuke for the church at Philadelphia. Somehow, they were able to void this drift. Pastor Tim uncovers how they did it.

“Drift: Playing Dress Up” How is it that we can drift away from Jesus without noticing it? Because we often continue our religious routine, doing many of the same things, simply by muscle memory. We maintain the persona of someone who is alive in Christ, but Jesus sees through these outward appearances.

“Drift: The Cost of Compromise” If you knew that being a Christian would cost you your job, would you still follow Jesus? This is a decision that many in the church at Thyatira had to make. Feeling pressure to conform to the ways of the world is nothing new. The church at Thyatira felt the full weight of culture leaning […]

“Drift: Loving Truth in a Post-Truth World” We live in a time defined by the rejection of objective truth in favor of personal opinions, preferences and desires. From Christ’s letter to the church at Pergamum, we get a vision of how God wants the church to operate in a post-truth culture.

“Drift: Our Source of Strength in Suffering” We are blessed in America to worship Christ together in peace, with the protections of religious liberty. The freedom to worship that we enjoy is not the norm, however, in terms of church history or for our fellow Christians around the world today. The persecution the church in Smyrna experienced is actually more […]

“Drift: Right Actions, But Wrong Motives” In the first of seven short letters to different churches, Jesus writes to a church that was doing a lot of the correct things, but in a way that was cold and disconnected from Him.

“Drift: Our Confidence in Chaos” In Revelation 1:9-20, we see through the eyes of John a vision of Christ that can keep us in the midst of a chaotic world. “In the Spirit,” we will see Jesus for ourselves in a way that allows us to rest secure, no matter what is happening around us.

“Home For Christmas: Home Is Where The Heart Is” Now that we have given Jesus the deed to our heart and He is the one that’s leading and guiding, that doesn’t mean that we are done. We are compelled to share Christ because we are a part of His family. We are to give an invitation to others to “come home to […]

Dec 29, 2019: “Home for Christmas: Home Is Where The Heart Is”

“Home for Christmas: Welcome Home ” When we think of being home for Christmas, we think of fun traditions and favorite holiday treats and familiar decorations. But what makes being home for Christmas so inviting is family and friends. Christmas is about relationship. But more important than your relationship with parents or grandparents or siblings or cousins; Christmas is about […]

“Home for Christmas: Home Away from Home” Just hearing the words, “Home for Christmas,” take you right back there, don’t they? In your mind, you can see, hear, smell and taste Christmastime back home, can’t you? But in John 1:14, we discover that on the first Christmas, Jesus didn’t go home, He actually left home.

“I Am Thankful You Are Victorious” When you hear the names Tom Brady, Bill Russell or Michael Phelps; you think of winners. Did you know that there is someone with a better winning streak than all of these combined? That’s our God! God is a winner and He desires for you to have victory in the battles you are facing.

Dec 01, 2019: “I Am Thankful You Are Victorious”

“I Am Thankful You Are Faithful” Lamentations 3 is one of the most significant passages in the whole Bible on the faithfulness of God. Which is strange, because it was written in 586 BC, which was Israel’s September 11. So, why would Jeremiah write about God’s faithfulness during such a dark time? Well, isn’t that when we most need reminding […]
