October 11, 2009 - Bill Renick, "The Best Is Yet to Come" Hebrews 6:9-12
God's Word is full of promises. One thing the Christian can be sure of is the hope of eternal life. This earth is full of wonder and amazement but it pales in comparison to what we will one day see. Our faith will be sight and we will be in the very presence of God Himself. Heaven is the place prepared for those who believe; the place where God rules; the place of eternal life is the best that anyone could hope for. Those who believe will be there for all eternity. The best is yet to come!

August 23, 2009 - Bill Renick, "Missing Heaven By 18 Inches" Hebrews 3:7-19

August 16, 2009 - Bill Renick, "Moses Was a Servant, Jesus Was a Son" Hebrews 3:1-6

July 12, 2009 - Bill Renick, "Signs, Wonders, Miracles & Gifts" Hebrews 2:1-4
God does not reveal Himself by signs, wonders, miracles or even through spiritual gifts. He reveals Himself to us, in this generation, through His word.

May 24, 2009 - Patrick Levine, "Becoming Allies with Christ" Revelation 3
Last week we learned of three distinct advesaries we fight; flesh, world & satan. This week we are reminded of how when we become followers of Christ, we become allies with Him in His work.

Listen to this teaching from God's Word.

The circumstances that Hagar finds herself in are dire and uncertain. A "bowshot" away, she leaves her son Ishmael to die in the wilderness after being outcast from Abraham's protection. God hears the cries of Ishmael and Hagar and makes a promise with them to make them a great nation. Never give up because God keeps His promises.
Apr. 26, 2009 - Bill Renick, "Shout Joyfully, Serve Gladly, Sing Thankfully" Psalm 100
Our Pastor, through God's Word, encourages us to praise God and be thankful. We enjoy so much prosperity that we often forget that it is God who sustains us. Let's not be guilty of only praising God when He brings us through a trial. Let's praise Him no matter what.
Apr. 19, 2009 - Bill Renick, "Be Strong and Courageous" Joshua 1:1-9
In the midst of some fairly difficult times, we find ourselves fearful and confused. Listen as God encourages us through His word to be strong in every area of life. God has never stopped being God and He is not afraid or confused!
If there is no love, there is sacrifice. If there was no sacrifice and death, there could be no resurrection. If there is no resurrection, there is no faith.

Mar. 22, 2009 - Ken Engledow, "Be Holy" 1 Peter 1:3-18
We all have things in our life that aren't holy, things that do not conform to the image of Christ. We should set aside worldy ambitions and be holy as He is holy. Even at church, we are guilty of allowing worldly things to infiltrate our minds, especially when we get stuck in our traditions. Listen as Ken rightly proclaims that we should always seek holiness.

Mar. 9, 2009 - Danny Henderson, "Wake Up; Wise Up; Look Up!!" Matthew 24
Listen as Danny identifies the weaknesses and ignorances of the church. We are too focused on minor issues such as worship styles and versions of the Bible that we have lost focus of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If we are true children of the King, we will put aside preference for the sake of the Gospel.
Mar. 8, 2009 - Danny Henderson, "How to Get the Hell Out of Your Church" Acts 4.
Hell = Apathy, Cliques, Murmuring, Bondage, Excuses, Token Commitment. Heaven = Passion, Family, Unity, Freedom, Opportunities, Total Surrender.
For a church to be healthy and be the bride of Christ, we must remove any "hellish" behavior and attitudes for Christ to be exalted and for our churches to move forward. Listen as our Revival Preacher, Danny, instructs, teaches, and rebukes the church for being a poor witness of Christ's love.
Mar. 8, 2009 - Danny Henderson "Does God Have the Title-Deed to Your Life?" Luke 9:23-26.
