Six Steps Sacrifice
January 14, 2024 • Pastor Rick Lorimer

NEXT STEPS: - I refuse to profane (treat commonly) God’s presence in my life. - I choose to be a worshipper and not a spectator. I will give God all my sacrifice, all my might, and all my dignity.
The Path To Peace
December 31, 2023 • Pastor Terry Brown
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the declaration of the angels to the shepherds was “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.” However, it is easy to see that there is not much peace on earth. Was this just an aspirational hope or is there any substance to the promise of peace. This message suggests that "The Path to Peace" may be different than we think. NEXT STEPS: - Today, I reconnect with God by expressing a childlike faith in Him. - I understand that the PEACE He gives doesn’t require the removal of all evil from the world. - I will memorize John 14:27, John 16:33, and Matthew 28:29.

The DREAM
January 2, 2022 • Pastor Johnathan Reynolds

LEGACY: Possibilities Resulting from Failure
January 3, 2021 • Pastor Terry Brown
We live in a world of celebrities who are making their mark and leaving their legacies. We tend to think that our lives are not of any real consequence. But even in our failures, Jesus Christ sees purpose and meaning for us, and He gently calls us to pursue Him so that our lives will reach their full potential. Next Steps: • I will not let my failures be final. I will follow Jesus anyway! • I will renew my devotion to Jesus in 2021 by connecting more completely to Him and His church. • I will read scripture and pray with new regularity in this new year.
