CORE: Serving Matters

September 29, 2024 • Jeff Maness

Serving Matters - Followers of Jesus should serve in areas that use their God-given gifts to strengthen and build up the Church and others.

To follow Christ is to live a life of serving, because serving matters. Serving is not something you sign up to do once in a while; it's a lifestyle. How do I live a serving matters life? I must be willing to pour, be waiting for provision, and be watching for purpose. Watch/listen to this message to see what this means and how to apply it in your life.

CORE: Love First

October 27, 2024 • Jeff Maness, Owen Githanga, • 1 John 3:16–23

Love First - Followers of Jesus should be characterized by genuine love and deep commitment to one another and our neighbor, which flows from our whole love of God. Jesus led the way in showing us how to live with love first. We love because He loved us first, and our love for others flows from God's love for us. What does that actually look like? Watch this very special message as Pastor Jeff Maness and guest speaker Owen Githanga from Compassion International show how we can live our lives with love first.

October 20, 2024 • Joe Sangl • Matthew 25:14–30, Psalm 24:1, Proverbs 13:4, Proverbs 10:4

We are Managers, Not Owners - Followers of Jesus should be effective and efficient managers of all God gives them, understanding that He owns it all. Jesus used money to help convey spiritual principles many times, allowing us to learn financial lessons while also learning deeper spiritual truths. In this message, guest speaker Joe Sangl teaches how we are to manage the money God puts in our care by investing it wisely.

CORE: Health Requires Hard Work

October 13, 2024 • Jeff Maness • Ephesians 2:10, 2 Peter 1:3–11, Ephesians 2:8–9, Philippians 2:12, 2 Peter 1:10

Health Requires Hard Work - Followers of Jesus must work hard to carefully nurture their own spiritual, emotional, relational, physical, and financial health as we continually grow in likeness to Christ. Good works in every area of life are part of God’s plan for our lives to become more like Jesus, not so we can earn our salvation but as a result of our salvation. Watch this message, "Health Requires Hard Work," to see that healthy hard work: ...is fueled by God’s power. ...has faith in God’s promises. ...is formed by your pursuits. ...looks forward to paradise.
