In any meaningful relationship there will be times of disagreement. In this message we will look into how to handle disagreements in a way that is constructive and life giving.

Slothfulness is frequently not recognized as a sin. In this message we will discover what sloth is and how God calls His people to be courageous—to have a sturdiness of soul, pursuing God and His agenda.

Envy tends to be more of a problem than most people realize. In this message we will discover that faith, believing that God supplies everything we need, can move the follower from envy to kindness. Kindness meaning that we can be considerate and generous with others.

Pastor Steve Warner   Gluttony is a sin. However, it is often mis-defined, wrongfully understood, or even dismissed as a mere weakness. This week we will examine unhealthy self-indulgence by exploring the concept of gluttony. Further, we will explore God’s original plan for nourishment of the body and spirit, through right alignment and self-control. When we understand God’s perspective and intention for our lives, self-control is understood as a gift of strength from God, rather than a list of steps rooted in self-help. This strength is attained through a desire to holistically honor Him. 

Anger is a big problem. In this message we will see that its source is frequently a perceived injustice. As the follower of God loves what God loves, hates what God hates and pursues godly justice, anger is displaced. We must learn to wait patiently on the Lord, knowing He makes all things right.

God promises that He blesses the pure in heart, therefore, we must not give in to lust. In this message we will see how biblical love displaces the vice of lust and leads to the virtue of purity.

This week we will explore the vice of greed and how hope, rightly placed, frees us up for a life of generosity.

This message begins our 7-week closeup look into the 7 deadly sins and the virtues that are to displace them. Today we will see that humility is to displace pride and the means of grace for this to really happen is right-mindedness.

In this message the 7 deadly sins are laid out along with their corresponding virtues. God has a picture of what you could be, and the key to experiencing this wholeness is stepping onto the bridge of God’s means of grace, moving from a vice to a virtue.

This message begins our spring/summer series “The Heart of the Matter.” In this message we will look at a crucial question that Jesus asked a paralytic and we need to ask ourselves, “Do you want to get well?"

This Palm Sunday we will look into what it means to have an informed faith. The resurrected Jesus was seen by hundreds of people validating that He is the person He claimed to be, has the power He claimed to have and keeps the promises that He made.

This message begins our Easter series with our focus on becoming spiritually intelligent. In this message we will see that those who receive the message of the cross are graced with wisdom and power from God.

Jesus is becoming famous. Crowds are starting to want to be near Him. Four party-crashers tear a roof apart - the crowd is scorning. It’s then that we learn what the Kingdom is all about. Where would you have been in this story?

Malachi, as the last book of the Old Testament, shares some important insight for the follower of God. In this message we see that God calls His people to be devoted followers who revere His name and invest in what matters for eternity.
