Core Four

January 15, 2012 - January 29, 2012

When it comes to church life in the 21st century, two things have become abundantly clear:

  1. Busy-ness doesn’t necessarily translate into holiness; and
  2. Information is no guarantee of transformation.

And at the end of the day, aren’t those two things actually the goal? Wasn’t God’s plan for us to become like Jesus—to be conformed into the image of His Son?

It’s Later Than You Think

It’s Later Than You Think

October 16, 2011 - December 18, 2011

Are you tired of the uncertainty?

We are experiencing global financial chaos and no one seems to have the answers. The threat of terrorism is worldwide. Nations are changing and aligning in a peculiar fashion. Global interdependency, instant worldwide communication, GPS tracking devices, bio-chemical and nuclear weapons, and a growing movement for a cashless society and one-world economy…all of this begs the questions, “Why is this happening? What are we moving toward? Who has the answers?”

The Mark

The Mark

September 11, 2011 - October 2, 2011

If the Apostle Paul didn’t have anything else, he had clarity. He was a man who knew what was important, knew where he was going, and positioned his life to make certain he got there. In Philippians 3:13–14, he made this declaration:

But this one thing I do…I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Transition & Transformation

Transition & Transformation

August 28, 2011 - September 4, 2011

Life is full of transition. Some we love, some we don’t…some are thrilling, some are painful. But not one of them happens on accident. Each is part of God’s plan. It’s how we respond to these transitions that will have a direct effect on the transformation God desires to bring about in our lives. What it boils down to is this…how you and I respond to transition reveals just how much genuine transformation has taken place in our lives.

The Real JESUS…In the Real WORLD

The Real JESUS…In the Real WORLD

May 22, 2011 - August 7, 2011

The Jesus we follow and serve is the Jesus of the Bible.

Jesus is not what we hope He is, think He is, want Him to be, or imagine Him to be. Simply stated, Jesus is who He is, and He operates in our lives in the real world according to His own purposes, time schedule, and plans.

Easter

Easter

April 4, 2010 - April 24, 2011

Friday…Jesus is crucified. Once dead, His battered body is taken to a borrowed tomb and laid to rest.

Saturday…His disciples are in hiding, fearing they’ll be the next to die. The religious leaders rest easy, assuming they have just killed their greatest threat. And for this one day Satan believes he is the victor.

I Have Finished My Course

I Have Finished My Course

February 27, 2011 - March 6, 2011

Paul came to the end of his life and was able to make a monumental claim…“I have finished my course.” (2 Timothy 4:7)

Oh, that every believer could come to the end of their lives and be able to make that same declaration! But how do we get there? In this two-part series, we examine some of the key principles for “finishing strong” that Paul reveals in 2 Thessalonians 3:1–3.

Declare His Name

Declare His Name

January 16, 2011 - February 13, 2011

We’ve all heard the sayings “talk is cheap” and “actions speak louder than words.” We can say that we know and love Christ, but those are just merely words. If we were left here with the purpose to Declare His Name to those around us, then our lives have got to start “talking.” If we want to Declare His Name, then it will affect the way we look at people, respond to their needs, and it’s going to give us a whole new way to love.

Humility

Humility

December 5, 2010 - December 19, 2010

It is one of the most misunderstood virtues.
It is one of the most misrepresented virtues.
It is one of the most important virtues.
It is one of the most rare virtues.

Without humility, it is impossible to truly…

September 19, 2010 - November 21, 2010

There is something that God wants to see more of in our lives. It’s serious business! In fact, our effectiveness as a Christian is inseparably linked to this. Our dilemma is…we can’t produce it and we can’t simply decide there’s going to be more of it.

In this series, Pastor Ken Harrell will lay the groundwork and take us step by step in our search for more.
