Everyone has their spiritual and emotional ups and downs.  The “up” times can be wonderful, and the “down” times can be dreadful.  Today we're walking through the valleys with God's Word.  Where does our help come from?  Why do valleys happen?  Join us today and be encouraged!

God's grace was something God's people were taught to embrace and enjoy even in the Old Testament.  Rather than depending upon ourselves to achieve a right standing with God or just survive or feel like we've “arrived,” God teaches us to trust Him with our lives now and forever because He is gracious and provides what we all truly need.  Join us!

This is the final message of Jesus' 5 sermons in Matthew, and so it is vitally important.  It's a strong and urgent message as we're all accountable to God and no one is exempt.  How will it turn out when we meet our Maker face to face?  Jesus tells us there are only two answers to that question.  Now is the time to answer that question.  Join us!

Bags of gold.  Got your attention?  I suppose a story with bags of gold would make anyone listen more carefully.  Jesus tells us an important story using bags of gold to illustrate several things that are vitally important when we meet God face to face someday.  Join us!

It's highly likely we've all been to a wedding at some point.  Jesus used a very familiar scene of a first century wedding to get us to ask ourselves: “Am I ready to meet Jesus when he returns?"  There are many fascinating features in the story of the 10 virgins and the groom's arrival we'll enjoy and ponder together as we draw closer Christ together.  Join us!  Are you ready?

Someone once said: “Live as though JC is coming back today.  Plan as though JC is not coming back for another thousand years.”  Life with Jesus is an adventure we can truly enjoy if we live responsibly and we are ready to meet him. What are your plans? Join us!

Is Jesus going to return someday?  What does Jesus tell us and how does the end of history as we know it come to an end?  Is there a sign?  How do we handle the sign of the times we're in and what can we be doing in the meantime?  Join us!

End times are favorite movie themes.  The dystopian films in theaters worldwide have doubled over the last dozen years or so and utopian themes are rare because film makers think utopian themes are “boring.”  What does the Bible say about the “end times” and how does Jesus fit into all of this?  Join us!

Holy is used in many ways and in many expressions, but what does it mean exactly; particularly as a reference to God?  Dominic Campanella will be sharing that message with us this morning.  Join us!

Many are curious about when the world will end from a scientific perspective, and many don't want to know since that is not where good news is found.  Jesus does give us hope and a reason for living every day because he guaranteed he is coming back someday.  When the world will end is not our motivation for living confidently now, but Jesus certainly is!  When will that happen?  How will that happen?  Most importantly, what should we be doing until then?  Join us!

Forgiving someone is different than just tolerating them.  Forgiveness also doesn't negate justice.  How does that all work?  What does forgiving one another actually entail?  Jesus tells us what it means and how it impacts our relationship with God and one another.  Join us!

Nobody is perfect.  When we sin against one another intentionally or accidentally, it can hurt.  How do we handle those moments?  Is there a time and method to deal with moments like those?  Jesus tells us how. Join us!

One of the more famous messages Jesus gave was about a lost sheep the shepherd sought and found.  What's the real message for us today?  Jesus also mentions what we might call our “guardian angel.”  What does the Bible say about that?  Why does that matter?  Where does the accountability for one another come into this?  Join us and find out!
