Joy appears to be missing from many people's lives. However, Paul encourages us to have an attitude of joy no matter the circumstances. Many times we are to have joy in spite of our circumstances which is made possible because of what Christ has already done, and continues to do for us every day.

Joseph's life was a roller coaster ride of emotions and experiences and some of us can relate. When life seems to be out of control we need to remember the words of the Apostle Paul who said, "Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ." Your whatever might be good things or bad things, tremendous joys or extreme challenges, but always remember to keep your hope in God.

Great stories often have a reluctant hero. One who doesn't see their value until someone intervenes or circumstances force them to act. Noah is our reluctant hero in the story. A hero is described as an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. In other words, someone who is willing to rise to the occasion.

What do you think God looks like? People have a lot of ideas about this…what do you imagine? A new sermon series, "My God...That is who you are: I AM", begins this Sunday with Pastor Andy preaching from the book of Exodus, Chapter 3:1-17. Did you know that "I AM" comes from the Hebrew language "Elohim" or "Yahweh".
Believe It Or Not!
BELIEVE IT OR NOT! Our community may be forced to shelter in place, but we can't stop and won't stop celebrating Easter together! You're invited to join us for a special Easter service, streamed live on our facebook page! So gather your family and let's worship together! The resurrection of Jesus is the balancing point of our faith. Did Jesus really raise from the dead? From merely a human standpoint it may seem far fetched, but one moment is the foundation upon which faith is built.
March 29, 2020 and April 5, 2020
"THROUGH THICK OR THIN." Due to the Shelter in Place order by the state, we will once again be bringing worship to you through facebook live. We are all struggling, but even more than us, Paul had dealt with a lot of hardship. However, Paul says that all of the struggles will ultimately produce positive results.

"God Will Never Give You More Than You Can Handle", based on 1 Corinthians 10:13. We often give out little nuggets of advice or sympathy. Our natural desire is for people to feel better and we want to offer some kind of spiritual sounding support. But what if the guidance you are giving is not true? What if, "God Never Said That?"
MODGNIK
January 2020
When Jesus taught the disciples to pray He spoke to the Father and said, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done." However, as the world looks at the Church today they see a kingdom that is backwards in their view. They want the Church to change the message of the Bible, to get with the times, and to be less abrasive. Many believe that since the world has changed that the Church should change its message to conform with it. But, God has called us to a kind of commitment that much of the world does not understand. We have been called to be people of the kingdom.
Ordinary People/Extraordinary God
December 2019
Throughout history God has used ordinary people in order to accomplish extraordinary things. Too often we think that the people that God uses are specially talented or extremely gifted. However, more often than not, God uses ordinary people...people like you to accomplish what He wants to do in this world.
In Sync
November/December 2019
Everything that we think we own actually belongs to God. If you struggle with that idea, I get it. However, all of our possessions and resources are temporary and will someday be in the hands of others. That is why Jesus warned up to lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven because someday that is the only thing that will really matter. So, what you doing now with your resources that God has entrusted into your care so you will be ready then?
This Is Us
September/October 2019
God has created every individual to be unique. Our fingerprints and DNA are unlike anyone else's. The same is true
of churches as each is unique in it's makeup, it's ministries, and how it relates the Gospel message to it's church family and to the community. In this series we are taking a look at some of our traits and characteristics that identify who we are. This is us!
Man Up!
August/Septmeber 2019
There is a push from a segment of society for men to stop acting like men. While there are many examples of men behaving badly, there is a real need for men to step up and start acting like the men that God has called them to be. This series encourages men to be the spiritual leaders in the Church, in their relationships, and in the home--to be imitators of Christ and to follow His example.
Fresh Wind
July/August 2019
Jesus compared the Holy Spirit to the wind which blows wherever it wishes. You cannot grab hold of the wind, but you can feel its effect. You cannot put it in a jar and save it for later. No, you must take advantage of the wind when it blows. In a similar way, God wants to breath a fresh wind into your life and into the life of the Church. When the wind blows, you have a choice. You can draw the lines a little tighter and drop the anchor or you can release the lines and hoist the sails allowing the wind of the Holy Spirit to take you wherever it desires. When we allow the wind of the Holy Spirit to blow in our lives, He will take us on a journey unlike any we have ever imagined!
Wild Kingdom
April/May 2019
Before there was Jack Hannah or Steve Irwin (The Crocodile Hunter) there was Marlin Perkins and Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. Audiences were amazed by the stories of animals that appeared each week on their televisions, but we should be even more amazed by the stories that involved God's wild kingdom in His Word. These stories, though centuries old, impact us where we live today.
Jesus in Red Letters
March 2019

Love Songs
February/March 2019
The Song of Solomon is one of the most unusual books in the Bible. However, this book reveals to us a great deal about what a healthy, romantic relationship looks like between a husband and wife.

In addition, hidden in the pages of this book God reveals His love for His people, as well as Christ's love the His bride the Church.

Possible

REBOOT
September 2018
Every computer you own, whether it be a Windows PC, a Mac, an Android phone, or an iPhone, has to be rebooted every now and then. The same is true spiritually. Every now and then we all need a restart or to be refreshed. This series takes a look at some of the exciting events from the book of Acts where God's people were rebooted. God was able to take a frightened group of men and women and empower them to do mighty works for the kingdom. God wants to do the same thing in your life.
Hidden Treasures
June/July 2018
There are a lot of Hidden Treasures that you will find only if you are willing to get off the beaten path. You may find that little hole-in-the-wall restaurant that has the best food or a view that can only be seen if you go where others are unwilling to go. In a similar way we tend to focus on the familiar stories of the Bible. However, there are many Hidden Treasures--gems with great lessons to be learned--that will only be discovered if you are willing to dig a little deeper and go off the beaten path .
The Most Fascinating Guy on the Planet

The Power of the Church
February/March 2018
God's church is powerful! However, God has decided to empower us, imperfect as we are, to encourage and influence the world, for Jesus Christ. God has chosen to use our mouths, our hands, and our feed to carry the Gospel message to a world in need of hope, purpose, and forgiveness. The power of the Church is God working through us.
Overboard
January/February 2018
If you ever felt that God was leading you to do something that you simply did not want to do, then you can relate with Jonah. While many of the Old Testament prophets gave a variety of excuses as to why they could not do what God had asked. most of the time they gave in and followed God's leading...except for Jonah. Jonah decided to run. So, are you running from God?
Resolution
January 2018
At this time of year it is quite common to make some resolutions such as; getting into better shape, stopping a bad habit, or losing a few pounds. However, it is even more important to get into shape spiritually. In this series you will be challenged to take steps that will draw you into a deeper relationship with God.
Generous God
November 2017
We have an outrageously generous God! Without a doubt, all of us should be able to say that God
has blessed us in more ways than we could ever deserve. God allowed His Son to die on a cross
to set us free from the bondage of sin and God does not want us to be enslaved again by anything
including our finances. When we get a grip on money and the things money can buy, then we will learn
to enjoy the abundant life that Jesus promised.
