More than Words - Easter message - April 4th, 2010

Palm Sunday message - March 28th, 2010

What’s love got to do with it? The word “love” is one of the most commonly used words in the Bible. It’s also one of the most discussed topics in society, with everyone searching for true love. But is it possible to find perfect love?

In this series, Pastor Ray Goolsby explores the meaning of God’s love – where it originates and how we are chosen to be vessels that carry His love to others and echo it back to Him. Are we worthy of such perfect love? Can we ever learn to love Him back enough? Learn how the depth of His unconditional love for us drove Him to make the ultimate sacrifice.

What frustrates you about your life? When you close your eyes, do you see a future or failure? We can get so caught up in how things aren’t working out the way we thought, that we don’t realize we’ve lost sight of what we were doing in the first place. You’ve got to be willing to let go of the “how” and reposition yourself. Be anchored to God’s vision for your life, not the process.

In this follow-up to the Under Seige series, Pastor Dan Stallbaum explains how following God’s plan for your life is about good administration, not perfection. God makes up the difference when we seek Him and pursue His will.

The name of Jesus is a key. Are you using it? “In Jesus’ name, amen.” For many of us, that phrase is such a common closing to any prayer that we become numb to the power it carries. However, the Word says that whatever we ask in His name, He will do. Are we asking, believing in the power that it carries, or are we just throwing it out there as a closing tagline to a prayer and hoping for the best?

In this series, Pastor David Ellis looks at the authority that comes with the name of Jesus. He explains how, as we fully understand our rights and privileges in Christ, our asking becomes more focused, allowing us to become more effective. We don’t have to wonder if the name of Jesus is going to work; rather, we can walk in full expectation that when we ask in His name, it is going to take place.

This isn’t just another new year. It’s the year of your breakthrough! You thought you did everything you could, but it looks like there’s no end in sight. You are surrounded by circumstances that just don’t seem to be changing. But what if the answer is actually right there in front of you?

Pastor Dan Stallbaum kicks off the new year looking at the things that are holding you down - financial pressures, physical issues, broken or difficult relationships - and shows you how to get out from Under Siege:

Part 1 A step-by-step of how to get out from Under Siege, starting with Who we are listening to.

Part 2 Almost every time God sends help, it’s through a person. What kind of connections do you have?

Part 3 Sympathy is what we feel, but compassion is what we do. Do something to help someone else.

Part 4 Our response to our situation is critical to the end result. Are you willing to fight for what is yours?
