Seven Words

July 2, 2023 • Pastor Mike Towner • Matthew 5:43–46, Romans 12:14–21, 1 Timothy 2:3–4, John 13:35, James 3:9–10

Genesis 1:27 - "God created man in his own image". These seven words are the basis for the way we should see the world and those who inhabit it. The moment we see one another as the sons and daughters of our risen King is the moment we see the world through God's eyes. The next time you're tempted to react to something or someone, stop and remember those seven words.

Five False Identity Temptations

July 9, 2023 • Pastor Tim Cinnamon • Jeremiah 2:13, 2 Peter 1:3–9, 2 Peter 1:5–7, 1 John 3:1, Ephesians 1:5

Toxic reactivity truly has nothing we need, but participating in it is all too easy. All we need is alignment with God, which is freely provided to us by our Heavenly Father through his Son Jesus Christ! As sons and daughters of God must seek daily to cut through the lies culture feeds us, for we are ALL God's children!

Glory Heist

July 16, 2023 • Pastor Tim Cinnamon • 1 Chronicles 29:11, Romans 7:21–24, 1 Timothy 1:17, Genesis 3:1–13, Isaiah 42:8

We're all familiar with hollywood heist movies; The bad guys rob a bank and steal what isn't theirs and always end up being caught. The same is true with God's glory. His glory isn't ours steal, His glory exists to be lifted up and magnified, so that others may come to know Him. 1 Chronicles 29:11 - Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.

Eternity Amnesia

July 23, 2023 • Pastor Mike Towner • 1 Peter 1:3–4, Revelation 4:8, Revelation 21:1–5, Revelation 7:10, Revelation 7:10–12

Revelation 4:8 - And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” What an amazing comfort to know that our God was, is, and is to come and He reigns eternally!
