Fail Forward
July 21, 2019 • Pastor Adam Erwin

Sometimes it can even begin to impact our identity, and cause us to become stagnant in life. Join us this week as Pastor Adam Erwin talks on what a future can look like after failure.
Clashing Kingdoms
July 28, 2019 • Pastor Clearthur Mangram
God’s promises are great! But sometimes our idea of realizing those promises clashes with God’s. This message considers the conflict that resides when the Kingdom of Heaven clashes with the Kingdom of Man. Which kingdom are you pursuing? NEXT STEPS: - I will reflect on the areas in my life that I have pursued my own desires instead of God’s - I am asking for prayer, as I feel I’m in a discouraging place, where it is hard to seek first the Kingdom of God. - I will use Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer (S.O.A.P) on Matthew 6:25-34.
Looking for Hope in a Troubled World
July 14, 2019 • Pastor Terry Brown
Many of us try to make a difference in our world using a variety of methods. We may be ambassadors for some religion thinking that the answer can be found there. At times we may think we need to march in outrage resisting the power brokers who bring trouble to our world. Some even turn to violence. We may depend on our group of friends to support us and give us a reason for living. At times we turn to political influence in order to restore hope and purpose to our world. But in time we find that only Jesus brings real and lasting hope.
