June 25, 2023 • Pastor Todd Hartley • Hebrews 1:1–4, Hebrews 4:12–13, Hebrews 11:6
We must intentionally seek to hear from God because of the importance of His voice and the loudness of our times. Pursuing God is essential to hearing God. God communicates through His Son Jesus. We hear God's voice through the Bible and prayer. And hearing God's voice has more to do with our hearts than our ears.
As Long as You're Happy
June 11, 2023 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Ecclesiastes 2:1–4, Ecclesiastes 2:8, Ecclesiastes 2:11
If happiness is the goal in life, then right and wrong are subjective, I'm tempted to worship pleasure and possessions, God only exists to serve me, the search for meaning will never end, and I live for myself. What's better than happiness? Being holy is better than being happy. And being joyful is better than being happy.
Do It Yourself
June 18, 2023 • Pastor Scott Randlett • John 15:5, 1 Corinthians 2:3–5
We tend to overestimate our ability and underestimate God's power. We all need help when we're tempted, troubled, and tired. Help is available. Complete surrender is more important than self-control. And close connections are more important than isolation.
Follow Your Heart
May 28, 2023 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Ezekiel 36:26–27, Proverbs 3:5–6
The truth about the heart: The heart is stubborn, hardened, rebellious, deceitful, and follows what it wants. How do we have a change of heart? We need a change of dependence, a change of desire, and a change of direction.
As Long as You Live Right, Life Will Be All Right
June 4, 2023 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Romans 8:31, Hebrews 12:2, Romans 8:17–18
The truth about pain: Pain is the result of sin, does not discriminate, and has a purpose. What is the purpose of pain? Pain makes us partners with our Heavenly Father. Pain proves where our faith lies. And pain prepares us for our future.
