Anger: Is It Bad or Good?

August 5, 2023 • Pastor Bryan Loritts • James 1:19–27

Is anger good or bad? The answer is YES. The truth is it depends on how we deal with those whose offend us. Jesus likens unrighteous, uncontrolled anger to murder, as it can be so destructive that it kills everything in its wake. It is in times like these, we must ask ourselves #WWJD - What would Jesus do? God's word tell us to be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger.

Pastor Bryan Loritts delivers a thought-provoking message reminder to all of us to examine our hearts when we're angry, so that we can may continue walk out our faith, regardless of our circumstances.

It's Only A Test

August 12, 2023 • Pastor Maurice Watson • Genesis 2:1–13

Have you ever asked God why? If so, you're in good company - even Jesus questioned God in the midst of His test. Sometimes God will allow hardships in our lives in order to test our faith in HIM! It's easy to trust God when life is good and the blessings are flowing abundantly, but what happens when you lose something or someone that you love? We must learn to hold what we love with open hands. God is faithful. He's God in good times and the hard times, and even if we don't know the purpose for the test, we rest assured that God already has a plan in motion.

Made For Greatness

July 23, 2023 • Pastor Matt Anderson • Joshua 3:1–4

Sometimes we are going through a testing moment, and because we sometimes struggle to get through it, we slowly lose faith and believe that God isn’t there to comfort us. The truth is God is always here, and us thinking he’s not is just us being fearful and discouraged. God has plans for everyone and will test everyone; it’s our job to remain courageous and trust in God as he guides us through the test. We need to know that God doesn’t want us to be fearful and discouraged but rather the opposite. Some of us believe in God and want to trust his tests, but we have habits that depict otherwise. We want an uphill life but try to achieve it with downhill habits. Join us today as Pastor Matt Anderson explains to us how God’s destiny for us and the habits that we have to connect with each other, and how we can interline our habits with God’s ultimate destiny for our lives.

The Kind Of Person God Uses

July 16, 2023 • Pastor Zairreus Patterson • Nehemiah 1:1–4

Many of us believe that we have to be extraordinarily gifted in order to serve God. But, time and time again, scripture has proven that not only can He use the ordinary person, but that those are the EXACT people He wants to use! As our sermon series, Timeless, continues, Pastor Zairreus brings us a powerful reminder message that we should be asking God how we can become usable in His kingdom.
