"You Are Needed"

Mario Davis - Associate Pastor

April 1, 2024 • 1 Corinthians 12:20–27

Many people go through life not fully understanding God's purpose for their lives. This is common, even among Christians. Take a moment and imagine what might happen if we sincerely prayed and asked God to lead us in discovering the purpose for which we have been created.

Like a painting, every color is needed to make it beautiful.

As with a building, all parts are needed to make it strong.

If each of us carries out our purpose, God is glorified, and the church is strengthened.

"No One is Above the Rules"

April 29, 2024 • Heath Gray • 1 Kings 13

The Word of God continues to give when you dive in. This fact is on full display as we take a look at an obscure Old Testament story from 1 Kings 13. While this story is remarkable and memorable, it speaks one simple truth to us all: Disobedience is costly.

"Get In The Fight?"

April 22, 2024 • Brandon Bowen • Philippians 1:9–11, Proverbs 1:5

Discernment is the ability to judge well. It is the insight into right and wrong and the knowledge to provide solutions. All of this must be done with love and humility. As believers, we are called to show discernment in all things. To have this, we must pray, be in the Word, and lean upon others so we can see clearly. If we do this, we can answer the following question: "Do I get in the fight? Or do I get out of the way?"

"Love Each Other Deeply"

April 15, 2024 • Kenny Koetter • Matthew 5:14, 1 Peter 2:9, 1 Peter 4:7–10

God has lavished love upon us. This love is not to be hidden within but rather reflected upon others. It is a light that illuminates the world, our homes, and the church. It distinguishes us as a chosen people. As we show this love, we grow in our faith, and we grow in number.
