- Feb 2, 2020Set Free to Not Take the Name of the Lord in Vain
Set Free to Not Take the Name of the Lord in VainWhat’s in a name? Our names come from our parents. Either they chose it because they liked the name or it had special meaning, perhaps in the family. In the Bible, names describe the person, and using a name shows familiarity and connection. This Sunday we look at the 3rd of the 10 Commandments, where God forbids us to use His name without meaning. Why? Because His name shows familiarity and connection. We’ll discover how using God’s name with meaning brings meaning to our lives!

Set Free to Love God FirstThe first of the 10 Commandments is the key: Make God first in your life. We may have God in our lives, but we struggle keeping Him first. Yet when we don’t, we suffer. God’s plan for our best life is only possible when we put Him above everything else. This Sunday, come ready to do just that!“Jesus replied, ‘‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your being, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.’” - Matthew 22:37-38.

Our message series looks as the first four of these commandments, rules that focus our love singularly on God. From this foundation our future is built!

It’s about God in our lives, who made us with the need to give thanks. This Sunday, we’ll go beneath the cultural calling of thanksgiving and discover the biblical push to connect it to God’s character. Don’t miss this Sunday, it’ll change your Thanksgiving! - Nov 17, 2019What Are You Looking For?
What Are You Looking For?

We come to Jesus hoping He will help us in our messes. We want Him to repair a relationship, heal an illness, fix a problem, give us strength to face whatever we are going through. And He does. But Jesus offers us more than help. He offers us Himself. It is when we take Him fully that we receive the deepest healing and wholeness. Come this Sunday seeking more than help from Jesus!
