The Cares, Riches, and Pleasures of Life

March 12, 2023 • Pastor Mike Towner • Luke 8:14, Matthew 14:28–33, Matthew 6:24, Psalm 63:3–5, Philippians 4:19

Satisfaction can be sought apart from God, but will only be found in Him. Don't let the trappings of this world steal your focus and leave you empty; seek the one true source of life in Christ!

More from It's Not Business, It's Personal

God Is Personal

March 5, 2023 • Pastor Mike Towner • Jeremiah 9:23–24, Matthew 15:7–8, Revelation 2:2–4, 1 John 4:19, 1 Peter 3:18

It's all too easy in life let the routine become mundane. Don't let the relationship God created for us become "business as usual". God sent his one and only son so that we could grow near to Him. Seize the opportunity God made for us, and get on a personal level with the creator of the universe!

Restoring Fellowship With God

March 19, 2023 • Pastor Mike Towner • John 16:8, Psalm 32:5, Isaiah 59:2, 1 John 1:8, Revelation 3:19

When we are in Christ, our identity as Children of God doesn't change. Sin however, changes our fellowship with God. God never stops loving us, but our failure to acknowledge and repent of our sin keeps us separated from God. Identify the sin in your life and get back in fellowship with God today!

A Personal Relationship with God

March 26, 2023 • Pastor Tim Cinnamon

God didn't have to save us, but He did. God didn't have to send Jesus to pay for our sins. He could have dealt with us as you would any other business transaction; but He didn't. God could have simply saved us, and walked away; but He didn't. That's because God WANTS to have a relationship with us that is deeper than surface level. God made us for that purpose!
