6/22/14 Message

This weekend, as part of our "Tempted" series, we took a look at what 1 Corinthians 10:13 has to say about standing strong when the pressure is on:
 
1) Because temptation is “common to man” - Reach out to others for help.
2) Because Christ understands the strength of temptation - Ask for His overcoming help.
3) Because God will not allow us to be tempted “beyond what we can bear” - Rely on His power to stay strong.

4) Because “God is faithful” - Look for His promised “way out”.
5) God is faithful to provide a way out so we can stand, and also faithful to provide a way
back when we fall... So look to Jesus Christ for forgiveness.

Jesus tells us to take communion in “remembrance of me”.  Join us on Sunday, July 13th as we learn about communion and celebrate the Lord’s Supper.  We’ll be studying 1 Corinthians chapter 11 and as part of the service we’ll be taking communion in both our 9:30 and 11:00 am service. 

6/15/14 Message

This Sunday, in the second week of our Tempted series, we discussed observations about temptation from 1 Corinthians 10:

1) Getting off to a great start doesn’t mean finishing well. vs. 1-5
2) Am I guarding my heart and watching my desires? vs. 6
3) Am I aware of the weak points in my life, and am I guarding them? vs. 7-10
4) Am I learning from the examples of God’s Word?
5) The person most likely to fall, is often the least likely to see it coming. vs. 12

6) Am I coming to Christ to find help in my time of need?

To listen to the message or download the full outline, visit our website.

Counseling Resources


We desire to spiritually support our members through the different challenges of life.  Our primary vehicle for spiritual support are Life Groups. Life Groups are a place where members can share needs, pray for each and receive spiritual support and encouragement.


While we hope that many needs can be meet in small groups, we realize that often times a member may need a trained counselor or a specialized support group to provide the needed help.

While our church does not have “in house” counseling, or support groups, we can point you to two local organizations that can help.  These local resources can supplement the spiritual support our church provides.  One of the organizations focuses on counseling, the other offers  support groups.  To learn more, check out our Counseling Resource Page.

6/8/14 Message

This weekend, we began our "Tempted" series through the book of James. We talked about three thoughts for putting our focus on God regarding temptation.
1) Avoid the deception of… “If I don’t do this, I’ll miss out on something good” – Choose to believe that God has a better way. vs 17 “Every good and perfect gift is from above.
2) Avoid the deception of shifting shadows – God is good and He doesn’t change. vs 17 “who does not change like shifting shadows”
3) Fight temptation with Jesus’ weapon of choice – the Word of Truth.
