Freedom is something that we celebrate every Independence Day. But God has provided the ultimate freedom for us through Jesus Christ. But what does Galatians 5:1-5 mean when we see that "For freedom Christ has set us free"?

This is lightbulb #3 of our series, and it is LOVE. Our world is desperately in need of Christ-followers who will show the love of Christ. But we need to understand it and share it, or else it will "rot on the vine". We pray you are blessed by this final step in our series, and that you truly begin lighting up the darkness with Faith, Hope and Love.

We hear a lot of terms thrown about when it comes to "faith", but what is it really? Is Christian faith the same as "blind faith", or a "leap of faith"? Most importantly....what does the Bible say about receiving faith, understanding faith, and sharing faith?
That's what we tackle in this second "lightbulb" of our series, as we turn our attention to "FAITH".

This is the first message in a 3-part series entitled "Light Up The Darkness". Our world has many pockets of darkness: abuse, neglect, pain, heartache, poverty, separation. God has called us to be lights in darkness.
This series, based in Matthew 5:14 and 1 Corinthians 13:13, will give us insight into how we light up the darkness with hope, faith, and love.

What is revival? No...I mean REAL revival? Is it a series of services that you plan? Is it about having special singers and a guest speaker? Just because you had "revival services" does that mean anyone actually experienced revival?
We want to experience authentic revival as individuals....much like Isaiah did. We pray this message spurs you on to personal revival.

God led Joshua and the people of Israel to take a specific action in order to "remember" what He had done in leading them through the Jordan River (their major obstacle in life). This action was to be something that would be shared with their children for years to come.
What is God asking you to remember in your life? Let this message be an encouragement for you to call to remembrance what God has done for you.

Jimmy Barry (Missionary - Uganda) preached our first service in our new facility. His challenge to us? Can you really pray "Thy will be done" and mean it? Do we really know what it means when we ask for God's will to be done in our lives?
What a blessing for our first service to be led by a missionary! Pastor Nathan wanted this to happen in order to reinforce our mission to "GO"!

Luke 5:18-26 tells the story of four friends who take a fifth friend to Jesus because their friend (a paralytic) needed healing. They refused to allow ANY obstacles to get in their way of reaching Jesus. The message today challenges us to examine what kind of friend we are, in light of this story.

Whether we realize it or not, we're all building our lives every moment of every day. But in the end, what materials are we using to build? God has plans for how our lives are to be built, and what material we are to use. The question we have when looking at our lives is, "Where's the materials list?"

It is so important that we are intentionally building our belief system in our lives. It's not enough to know that someone told us we should believe something. Rather, we should believe based on study of God's truth and proper comparison of the Word as a whole.
