Listen and find out the real reason for giving and why you’ll want to give more than you thought you could afford.
Message Series: Philippians - Enjoying Life
Standing Firm
We are in between two places, or as theologians like to say: we are living in the “Now and not yet”.
Baffled? Don’t be. Pastor Mark Bates tells not only how to live in the “Now” by focusing on the “Not Yet”, but also why it’s so important.
Stop going with the flow. Stop marching to the same old drummer.
Start singing a new tune and turn your life around. The hard work has been done for you. All you need to do is live for the future, not the “Now”.
Joy Thieves
Sure, you may have Grace, but are you worthy of His pleasure?
How do you know you’re good enough, moral enough, or righteous enough to earn His Grace?
It doesn’t work … Grace plus ANYTHING is not Grace.
Listen and find out why Grace is not only enough, but why it’s everything.

Have you hugged your mother today?
Christ: The Model of Joy
Do you know people who feel they’re entitled to all kinds of stuff? Are you one of those people?
The truth is we’re all those kind of people.
But the person who is entitled to the most, has instead given freely and largely in a way that we can’t begin to fathom, but that we should emulate.
Care to guess who?
The Joy of Community
We are so busy and always on the go. How is it even possible to build a sense of community?
The Bible teaches a way to do so. Of course, we have to humble ourselves and put other’s interest ahead of our own to do so. How can that even be possible?
There is a way. Join us for 35 minutes and find joy in building your community.
Courageous Joy
The call to be a Christian is a call to suffer. Why would anyone become a Christian if it didn’t fix our problems?
Find out how to find the courage to suffer for Christ and how to make it your joy.
Mud or Stars?
Are you a complainer? Or maybe your spouse, or best friend, or your children, or maybe your parents?
Are the complaints righteous or are they just plain whining?
Is it possible for complainers to even be Christians?
Mike Osborne looks at a person with all the reason in the world to complain, but who instead, looked outside the world to find joy in his misery.
You too can be that person. Listen and find out how.
Joyful Confidence
What makes a person happy? Is it the circumstances they’re presently in, or is it the hope they have in the future? If your hope is in what’s to come, how do you know it will come to pass?
Find out how you can have joy now with confidence that it isn’t temporary or short-lived.
