Defeating Temptation Like Jesus

Scripture exposes how bad sin is and reveals how good God’s way is. Defeating temptation relies on 3 steps:

1.) Identify your temptation

2.) Find a Bible verse to fight with

3.) Commit it to memory

As Christians, we fight temptation on our knees, armed with the Word of God in our hearts!

Revealing Jesus

October 27, 2024 • Pastor Mike Towner • Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Romans 5:8, Romans 10:9, Romans 10:13

As we close out our "Greater Than Gold" Fall Focus series, isn't it amazing to reflect on how great the Word of God is! The more we reflect on the scriptures, the more Jesus reveals Himself to us, and the more we ultimately understand about his purpose, power, and will for our lives.

Using Scripture To Save Lives

October 20, 2024 • Pastor Mike Towner • 1 John 4:20–21, Ephesians 4:29, Mark 2:23–28, Matthew 15:3–9, Matthew 19:3–9

The scriptures are FULL of God's Word; transformative and life giving wisdom to all who seek it. As disciples, we are called to dive into scripture, let it transform us from the inside out, and use it to bring transformation to others. Embrace the living Word, let it shape your life, and watch how God uses it to impact the world through you!

The Bible Is A Big Deal

September 8, 2024 • Pastor Mike Towner

Throughout the generations we can all agree "The Bible is a big deal". The Bible is also an amazing account of God's love for his creation from beginning to end. But the Bible is so much more than a beloved and revered text. The Bible is essential to know God’s character, our condition, the cure, and how to conduct our lives in response to God’s undeserved compassion. The Bible really is a BIG deal and must become a vital part of our daily lives!
