Have you ever done something for so long that it was so hard to change to a new way of doing it? Studies show it takes an average of 66 days to build a new habit. In chapter 3, Paul is not teaching us how to make new habits in our life, but to live a new life. Not based off a new set of rules, but based off a new declaration - a new reality (v. 1)!

Deeper Waters: A Series on Steps of Faith

June 12, 2024 • David Dekhtyaryuk • Ezekiel 47:1–12

Over the next 4 weeks I have the privilege of taking us through a series of messages I’m calling: “Deeper Waters: A Series on Steps of Faith.” This is designed to Challenge you and make you consider what is the next step of faith in your life. Maybe you need to consider where you are at in your walk with God. Have you been stagnant? Are you ready for that next step? In his vision Ezekiel sees a new river flowing from Jerusalem into the Dead Sea. This is going to be where we start our study.

Identity Crisis

June 9, 2024 • David Dekhtyaryuk • Luke 7:36–50

Out of everything that happened in Luke Chapter 7 forgiving the woman, who is identified as a sinner, was the greatest thing Jesus did. Earlier on in this Chapter Jesus heals a sick servant boy. Jesus even raises someone from the dead. However, what Jesus did for this woman was greater. The healings were temporary, but what he did for this woman was eternal. Jesus knew of her sin and saw her as a new creation. She comes to Jesus, humbles herself before him and places her identity in Him.

Finding Pleasure in the Pain

April 28, 2024 • Justan McCaslin • 2 Corinthians 12:1–10

In our culture, we tend to compare ourselves to others which only leads to envy or condemnation. This causes us to respond by shielding and covering up our weaknesses / calamities / trials / sicknesses / deformities so we look stronger & better to others around us. Don’t think God’s power isn’t evident just because there isn’t a miraculous experience. Maybe you’ve become distracted in seeking after the miraculous saving instead of the miraculous savior. Maybe you’ve began to desire someone else’s experience instead of the life God has led you in. Maybe you’ve began to think you’re doing something wrong because you’re not experiencing paradise just pain & weakness. Don’t think God’s power isn’t evident just because there isn’t a miraculous experience.
