For A Purpose
APR 2020
I Have To Go
June 7, 2020 • Pastor Aaron Kennedy, Pastor Sean Reed
Throughout this series, the stories of Esther and Jonah have shown us that God has a purpose for our lives, even when we face difficulty. In this message, Pastors Aaron Kennedy and Sean Reed conclude this series with an important conversation about the difficulty our nation is facing regarding issues of prejudice and steps we can take towards finding unity.
I Am A Carrier
May 31, 2020 • Pastor Aaron Kennedy
Like with Jonah in the Bible, we are often more comfortable receiving God’s mercy than we are accepting His mission of love and grace. Something needs to shift in our hearts before we can love others as He loves them. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares how we can position ourselves to be a carrier of reconciliation by recognizing God’s mercy in our lives and extending that same mercy and love to others.
One Step Away
May 24, 2020 • Pastor Michael Chandler
God has created each one of us for a purpose, but sometimes we run from His calling. Just like God never gave up on Jonah in the Bible, He never gives up on us. He is always right there waiting. In this message, Pastor Michael Chandler shares the encouraging truth that we are always only one step away from our calling.
Running and Rowing
May 17, 2020 • Pastor Aaron Kennedy
God’s purpose and plan for our lives doesn’t always make sense to us. Maybe it's because we can’t always see the bigger picture. Like Jonah in the Bible, we often run from what God wants us to do and find ourselves in a mess, even affecting those around us. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares that whether we are running like Jonah or rowing like the men in the boat, we need to obey God and trust Him with the storms in our lives.
Legacy
May 10, 2020 • Pastor Aaron Kennedy
Mother's Day is always a special time to celebrate the amazing women in our lives, and this one was extra special. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy continues our series by sitting down with three of our pastors, all of them incredible moms leaving a legacy, as they share wisdom on motherhood, women in ministry, and finding God in the midst of difficult times just like Esther did in the Bible.
Plot Twist
May 3, 2020 • Pastor Sean Reed
As with Esther in the Bible, God is the author of our story too. Sometimes we may not see it, but He’s always in the background working for our good. In this message, Pastor Sean Reed shares how the God of the plot twist always takes what is meant for evil and turns it into victory in our lives.
Steady
April 26, 2020 • Pastor Aaron Kennedy
Having faith in the face of fear is not always easy. It's a choice we have to make every day. As the biblical examples of Esther and Mordecai demonstrate, we strengthen our faith by consistently following God's Word. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares that our faith becomes steady by trusting in God and obeying Him.
Perhaps
April 16, 2020 • Pastor Aaron Kennedy
We all want to have purpose, but often we struggle to know exactly what that is. It’s no mystery to God. He has a plan for our lives, but it’s up to us to step into it. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares, through the life of Esther in the Bible, that perhaps we were created for such a time as this, and He will help us through it.
