The CIRCLE MAKER Session #6: Praying Circles Around Your Family There is perhaps no more important area to draw your “prayer circles” around than the area of your family.  We apply a prayer of the Apostle Paul to draw six things we should pray for our family (all generations).

The CIRCLE MAKER Session #5: The Power of Praying Through Have you ever found yourself “waiting” on God for an answer to your most earnest prayers?  We’ll look at five reasons why God sometimes (oftentimes!) delays His answer to us.

The CIRCLE MAKER Session #4: Praying Long & Hard Most of us are not very effective at praying for anything persistently over a period of time (praying long) or even making great and bold petitions (praying hard).  Jesus offers some encouragement as He teaches us (His disciples) how we should pray…

  The CIRCLE MAKER Session #3: Don’t Stop at Six The conquest of the heavily fortified stronghold of Jericho by Joshua & the children of Israel gives us a powerful illustration of how we are to “pray circles” around strongholds, challenges and dreams in our lives.

The CIRCLE MAKER Session #2: When God Shows UP & Shows OFF We examine how God prepared Israel to “draw prayer circles” around the city of Jericho in preparation for their overwhelming victory as they began their conquest of the Promised Land.

The CIRCLE MAKER Session #1: Prayer Principles We launch our new Fall series (based on the best-selling book by Mark Batterson) that looks at how to breathe fresh energy into our prayer life and make us (and it!) more effective.

The Power of Perseverance Father/son ministry team Seth & Jacob Buckley share a powerful presentation on the urgent need for the men (and women) of God’s Church to step up and help in the development and discipleship of young men, even and especially at elementary school ages.  You eyes will be opened to many principles and truths, all that challenge us to step up and assist in these areas with young people in our sphere of influence.

ONE AT A TIME-Session 11      Breakfast In Galilee Everyone is familiar with the “Last Supper”; but have you ever looked at the “Last Breakfast”?  Jesus did something incredibly important for one of his disciples (and ALL of US!) that morning.

ONE AT A TIME-Session 10      Empty the Jar What is it that elicits an extreme response from us to the love and forgiveness of Jesus?  It is when we find ourselves at a place of brokenness over our sin.  In this session, we examine just such an experience in one of the one at a time encounters Jesus had with a woman in His day.

ONE AT A TIME-Session 9      Desperado(s) It’s when we get “desperate” for God that He shows up strongest in our lives; just ask two very desperate people who met Jesus one-on-one in the same day.

Nothing is too difficult for Jesus…from commanding a paralyzed man to walk, all the way up to making a person lost in their sin…forgiven! 

ONE AT A TIME-Session 7      One Thing Lacking One day Jesus was approached by a “man who had everything”…but he found that he was lacking the one thing most crucial.  The real question for each of us is…what is the “one thing” for us? 

ONE AT A TIME-Session 6      Marriage On the Rocks Jesus meets a woman who has made a lot of bad choices, and is now facing the consequences of those choices.  As only He can, He delivers her from the penalty and judgment to a fresh start.

ONE AT A TIME-Session 5      Jerusalem Pool Party When Jesus encounters a man who has been crippled for almost 4 decades, he seems to ask an unnecessary and possibly even hurtful question; but Jesus never asks anything unnecessary or hurtful. 

ONE AT A TIME-Session 4  A Sinful Dinner Party We continue our study in the one-on-one encounters Jesus had with people as recorded in the Gospels.  This week’s study looks at how such an encounter literally changed the entire direction of a man’s life, and in turn, affected the lives of all those around him.  

FATHER’S DAY LESSON Today is Father’s Day, and while we had planned for a father/son team to lead our class today; both are sick this morning.  So Chuck pinch-hits (at the last minute) with a look at the Five C’s of Fatherhood that really apply to us all.

ONE AT A TIME-Session 2  The Most Important Conversation In the History of the World We continue our study in the one-on-one encounters Jesus had with people as recorded in the Gospels.  This week, we look at a conversation Jesus had one night with a deeply religious man and what it means for us today.

We begin our summer series today as we introduce the concept of the 'one at a time' life and ministry of Jesus.

Shaken, Not Forsaken #10: Two Last Tests Joseph’s story ends with two final “tests”, which may well have been the hardest ones he faced.

Shaken, Not Forsaken #9: Keep Your Appointments The “prison life” of Joseph gives us a great illustration of God’s chain of development as reflected in Romans 5; see how trials and tribulations can ultimately lead us to hope.
