The book of 1 Samuel tells us that 3 things make us want to quit: Sorrow - Other People - Failure. In the book of Matthew, Jesus tells us we are: a light in the dark - a city on a hill - a beacon of hope. The promises of God are more powerful than the struggles of life. ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
In Matthew 7, Jesus tells us exactly how to know if we’re going to fall or stand in the storms of life. Receiving and accepting the word of God is necessary… but doing what God says - following Him and obeying His word is where true life and wisdom begins! It’s simple: If God says it - do it! ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
Life may sometimes offer us a temporary reprieve, but ONLY God offers us salvation! God saves - that’s what He does. He saves me from: my Sin, my Circumstance and my Self. ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

The path of God for our lives is straight and true, but the road we travel along the way is not! There are hills, sudden drops, valleys, deserts, detours and roadblocks along the way. But for those who put their TRUST in the LORD - the path of God will always prevail over the winding roads of life. ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
God is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. So, when you can’t see the big picture, look closely at what’s right in front of you! ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
Not just a “churchy saying,” but an absolute truth in Scripture! God is good even in the storms of life, in fact, often times it’s the struggles of life that teach us the faithfulness of God. God is not subservient to the storms of life, He is sovereign over them! ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
This last sermon in the series, Be the Branch, reminds us of the courage & strength we can access through the Peace of God. His Peace sustains us in our low moments, supersedes our circumstances and surpasses our understanding. ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
The Christmas narrative in Scripture tells us that there is Good News of Great JOY for everyone! That’s worth smiling about! 🙂Jesus teaches in John 15 that He’s the vine and we’re the branches…and that if we live our lives according to that truth, His JOY will be in us and our JOY will be complete! That’s worth going for! 🙂 ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
The love of God changes everything & everyone! His love sees us, cares for us, heals us, empowers us and… the love of God does not follow the rules of man! ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
People are the best…and also sometimes, people are the worst. Regardless, we need people in our lives - and that requires HUMILITY. It’s one thing to “be the branch” with the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving God - but can we “be the branch” with other people? Even the ones that hurt us? ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
Maybe you can relate with Gideon’s 3 questions to God: •Why is this Happening? •Where is God? •How can I Do This? The Bible answers all 3 questions and those answers will work for anyone and everyone! #BetheBranch ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
There is a right way to follow God and a wrong way…which is NOT determined by us or other “branches,” but by God Himself. You can choose to do it the wrong way -trying to be the Vine- but Jesus tells Martha in Luke 10 that there’s a better way! ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
If we simply STAY with God in every season we go through, we will find true success and fulfillment! He is the Source of Life and those who stay connected to Him no matter what, will never be lost! Patience trusts God even over man’s promotion and teaches us that one thing always leads to another! ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
In John 15, Jesus tells us that “apart from Him, we can do nothing.” Why would we ever disconnect from the “Source of life?!” Because it’s hard? Or we don’t understand? Or it’s unjust? Maybe the account of Job in the Bible, will help us with our perspective… ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
Jesus makes it blatantly clear in John 15 that HE alone is the VINE…and we are the branches. That’s not an insult, but rather the embodiment of our God-given purpose in life! When “branches” try to pretend like they’re “the vine,” life gets complicated, confusing and chaotic! Branches have 2 functions: Remain in the Vine & Produce Fruit. Be the branch! ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
There are a lot of opinions being voiced in society today…. Proverbs 3 was written by King Solomon, the wisest person to ever live, and Canonized in the Holy Bible, making it the inspired Word of God. Regardless of how “right” we think we are in our perspective and grasp on life… maybe we should listen to what God tells us to do in the third Proverb. ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
How do we go through dark times and not lose ourselves (our hope, our peace, our minds, our good sense, our integrity, our faith)? This sermon explains why PRAYER is not a cliché or a cop-out, but actually the believer’s first line of defense and offense! Pray FIRST …and… Pray MORE! ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
Sometimes we can have everything we need (and even want) and still find reason to complain or be upset… it’s the human condition. Paul & Silas found themselves severely beaten, unjustly imprisoned and seemingly abandoned; and YET, they had reason to sing and praise God!?! We do too. ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
Step into the Garden of Gethsemane… Jesus wrestled with suffering, obedience, and surrender & He shows us what it means to say, “Not my will, but Yours be done.” Jesus conquered, and with HIM you can, too! Jesus understands our spirit is willing, but our flesh is weak… so, let’s learn from Him how to keep our eyes on GOD when life feels heavy! ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
