May 2, 2021 • Rick Baldwin
Sometimes, as Christ-followers, things get difficult. The enemy whispers in our ear, "Just go back to your old life, that easy sin. It was comfortable. It would feel so good!" When we hear that voice too often, it may be time to burn the ships and take away whatever that escape route back to sin is.

Invitation to Worship
April 25, 2021 • Tim Jirrels
In Romans 12:1-2 Paul pleads with us to, "give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him." Of course we want to worship God in a way that will honor Him and that He will accept, but what could we possibly do that would be enough for all He has done for us? And what does it mean to "give your bodies to God"? How are we to sacrifice our bodies? Watch this message as Creative Director Tim Jirrels explains how to accept this "Invitation to Worship".

No Man's Land
April 18, 2021 • Rick Baldwin
So far in our study of the book of Romans, 14 Pages, each chapter has been filled with overwhelming hope! Now as we come to chapter 9, it seems Paul has thrown us a curveball of confusion! It is full of difficult passages about predestination versus free will. So which is it? Are some people made by God to want to follow Jesus, and some are made to turn the other way? Do we really have a choice in the matter at all? Watch as Senior Pastor Rick Baldwin explains.

Objection...OVERRULED!!!
April 11, 2021 • Weston Savell
If you are in Christ Jesus who can ever be against you? If God gave up His own Son for you, won’t He also give you everything else? Who dares accuse you if God has chosen you for His own? No one—for God has made you right with Himself.
This is true for all who follow Jesus, so why do we believe that voice from the enemy that tears us down and condemns us? What this message, "Objection...OVERRULED!!! Romans 8:31-39" from Weston Savell that will move you from feeling the hopelessness of condemnation to the joy of overwhelming victory!!
Already-Not Yet
March 28, 2021 • Tim Jirrels
Creative Director Tim Jirrels covers Romans 8:18-30, focusing the hope we have in Jesus. In this passage, Paul says that the things we suffer in this life are nothing at all compared to the glory that waits for us. Tim explained that as Christians on earth, we are trapped in the tension of the "Already-Not Yet". When you surrender your life to Christ, you become a child of God. And yet, we live this life of suffering and sin, hoping for the day that God makes everything new. We live in hope of future glory when God will give us our new, glorified bodies, there will be no more pain or suffering, and we will be with Him always for eternity. But how do we live focusing on that hope, instead of focusing on the life in front of us? Watch this message to see.
