Walking By Faith

What does it mean to be Great? The dictionary says it is to be considerably above normal or above average. Everyone wants to be great but what does that look like? Greatness looks totally different to God than it does to society.To God, being great means to look outside of yourself and to serve others. On this program Pastor Duane helps us to understand what Biblical greatness really means.

Have you ever felt like you have hit rock bottom and you don't have anyway to make it back up again? Has God ever asked you to do something that at first seemed a bit strange?

Proverbs 19:20 says "Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter days." Advise and opinions can be found, literally, in the palm of your hand, 24/7, thanks to the internet and mobile devises. But who should you listen to, and who should you believe? In this message, Pastor Duane gives multiple examples from the Bible about the importance of having Godly people in your life from whom you can ask for advise.

Jesus Christ was born a king! But not like any other king you can think of. He, the all powerful, the all mighty, God himself, came down from heaven not to be born in a palace, but to be born in a manger, in a barn, next to donkeys and sheep! God humbled himself to truly understand what it was like to be you and me. This is how we know that God truly loves us. I hope you enjoy what Pastor has to say today in Born a King.

Have you ever heard someone ask if God is so loving then why do people get cancer? Or if God is so powerful how come he didn’t stop that hurricane? But the truth is God isn’t to blame for cancer, death, destruction, Satan is the one behind all of that evil. God is standing right next to you through the storms, grieving with you. Today’s message, Shifting the Blame really has us rethinking who we should be placing blame on. Let’s take a look.

In the Bible God warns us about getting caught up in cords of sin. The devil gets in your head and convinces you to do the wrong thing then tells you how horrible of a person you are for doing it.

Let’s see what Pastor says about avoid Satan’s Devices.

Today Pastor is diving in deep on Soul Destroyer, Justifying the Ungodly. Let’s face it sin is fun; if it's not, you’re not doing it right! But even though it's fun, it doesn’t make it right. Sin leads to guilt, regret, shame, bondage and addiction and everyone thinks they can handle their sin, that its not out of control, but soon enough it will ruin your life. Lets see what Pastor has to say today in Justifying the Ungodly.

As we enter this Holiday season we often take time to remember what we’re thankful for, but then we put that feeling of gratitude away with the decorations. We’re created to give God pleasure and the best way to do that is by Thanking God in the middle of our storms.

Open your heart today to really hear what Pastor is talking about in Faith Changes You.

Jesus is the King of Kings yet in his life on earth he lived to serve others in everything that he did.

Find out how to live out those desires in the message titled "Living the Good Life" from part two of the series Making a Difference.

Remember the Bible story about the three men thrown into the fiery furnace? They knew that God was a deliverer, that God is a deliverer, and that God will be a deliverer, and they would not compromise their beliefs. Because of that, God saw them through (and even stood with them) what had to be a scary and stressful experience. Learn more about God as our Deliverer in the message "The Power of the Fourth Man".

Often, we read Scriptures and because we're so familiar with them, we don't give them the attention that they should have.
