There is a lot of fake news in our world. People present some ideas with such passion it is difficult to know if what they are saying is true or not. Unfortunately, there are Christian cliches that aren’t in the Bible that are voiced by people with such boldness and confidence.
Today we begin a new series where we will look at five popular Christian statements that are fake verses, meaning that these statements aren’t in the Bible. Today pastor Chase will cover Ephesians 2 to answer the question, "Does God Help Those Who Help Themselves?"

August 13, 2023 • Ronnie Kendall • 1 Peter 5:10, Psalm 34:19, John 16:33, John 14:1–3, Matthew 26:41
Join us this morning for the second installment of our "Fake Verses" sermon series, as Ronnie delves into the misconceptions behind the saying, "God will never give you more than you can handle."

Are We All God's Children?
August 27, 2023 • Chase Snyder • Ephesians 2, Psalm 139:13–14, 1 John 2:28—3:10, Genesis 1
Are we all God's Children? The truth of that statement depends on the context of who is being referenced. The Bible is clear that everyone is made in the image of God but not everyone is in the family of God, i.e. not everyone is a child of God. In this sermon Pastor Chase will explain how everyone is created in the image of God and how you can be in the family of God.
“Today heaven gained another angel.” In times of loss we lean on many thoughts and ideas that make things more bearable. But this one in particular is definitely false. Today, Pastor Ronnie cautions against giving people false hope that humans become angels after passing away and explains how angels are completely different beings than humans.

Have you ever wondered if God wants you to be happy? In today's sermon from Pastor Chase we will look at three questions: Does God want me to pursue happiness? Does God want me to be holy or happy? What does it mean if I'm not happy?
