Win Within
On the Other Side of Sin
February 14, 2021
Join us for part 7 of our series, “Win Within”. This week Pastor Matt Smith leans back into part of King David’s story. We watch as on the other side of sin David chooses concealment over confession. This is a dangerous pattern than many of us choose. But there is a better way. No matter how great the failure there is a way forward. And it starts with confession.
The Curse of Complacency
February 7, 2021
As we extend our series, “Win Within”, Pastor Matt Smith moves us into a look at one of the most epic failures in all of scripture. King David is known as “a man after God’s own heart”, yet somehow found himself in a series of sinful decisions. How? How did someone so faithful do something so foolish?
Winning Yet Weary
January 31, 2021
Throughout our lives we experience things that inflict wounds. Those wounds create a gap that only God’s grace can close. If we don’t find healing, in those gaps, bitterness will grow. When bitterness takes root it turns us into people we never thought we could be. Join us for part 4 of “Win Within” as Pastor Matt Smith walks us through more of Saul’s story, helping us to unroot any measure of bitterness in our lives.

Ended by Envy
January 17, 2021
We have decided 2021 will be the year we finally get out of our own way. Slaying the enemy within is not easy, but with God’s help, it’s possible. In part 3 of our series, “Win Within”, we continue to identify and overcome the weapons of self-destruction. Looking at the life of Saul, Israel’s first king, we learn valuable lessons and the danger of envy. Join us as we seek to break the cycle of self sabotage.
The Intention Deficit
January 10, 2021
In Part 2 of our series, “Win Within”, we continue to learn how to avoid the traps of self-sabotage. Identifying the weapons of self-destruction is key to getting out of our way and moving toward the life God desires for us. In a message entitled, “The Intention Deficit”, we dive once again into 1 Samuel and learn from the life of Saul. Join us as we learn some vital principles to overcoming our mistakes and finding a way to end the cycle of disobedience.
Patient through the Pressure
January 3, 2021
Success in life is often most determined by winning the battle within. It’s the internal war not the external battles that most shape our lives. We are far too often victims of our own negative emotions. How the year ahead will shape out is much more about us than them. It’s much more about what’s happening in us than around us. King Saul is the perfect example of self-destruction. He had been chosen by God to be king over Israel, yet early on in his reign he developed attitudes and made decisions that would eventually cut his reign as king short. Like, Saul, we are often our own worst enemy. We just can’t get out of our own way. We miss out on the fullness of God because of our own unwillingness to recognize our shortcomings. In this series, we will look at 5 attitudes/actions that ended Saul and learn how we can avoid those in our own lives. Impatience will often cause us to do the right things at the wrong times. We let circumstances drive our decisions instead of obedience to God. We act by what we see instead of what God has said. How do we avoid that? Through clarity and courage. We have to learn to wait. Join us for Part 1 of “Win Within” where we learn how to stay patient through the pressure.
