Return to Me: Despising God's Name

Have you ever been lost and unable to find your way home? Many have experienced the fear and panic that comes with feeling lost. Spiritually, there are also many who are lost. They are distracted by all the temptations, pressures, and pursuits of this world. We learn from the book of Malachi that this can even happen to God’s people. They thought they were close to God because of their religious activity, but God saw things far differently. Be sure to listen today to discover where you are and where you need to be in your relationship with the Lord.

How To Make It Through the Storms of Life

Text: Mark 6:45-52

In Mark 6 we find that the disciples got into a boat, at night, and went out across the sea. In their obedience to Jesus, the disciples ran directly into a storm. Their obedience literally took them into the heart of a disaster. God doesn’t bring storms into our lives to make us bitter but make us better. The enemy may use storms in an attempt to destroy us, but they are meant to deepen us and deepen our trust in the Lord. Life comes with troubles regardless of whether or not you follow Jesus. As followers of Jesus we are challenged to have faith and trust Him in the midst of the storm.

What I Cannot Do

Text: Ephesians 2:1-10

We live in a culture that prides itself on its self-sufficiency, but there are some things we simply cannot do - especially when it comes to our spiritual life. Many people and many world religions believe that if we do enough good in this life, we can earn our way to heaven. In this message, Pastor Scott will explain what the Bible says in Ephesians 2:1-10 about our salvation and show us three things that we cannot do - we cannot live a perfect life, we cannot avoid the consequence of our sin, and we cannot earn our salvation.
