Jesus is not only the son of God, the creator and ultimate authority of the world, He is our savior. Jesus knew the task that laid before Him when He came to this earth as fully God and fully man, and He pursued it with joy, knowing He would soon be reunited with us in eternity. This Palm Sunday, Pastor Chris talks about God's role in our salvation, and just how meaningful it is to have Him as our Lord as well as our rescuer. 

An instruction from the Lord that is often overlooked is that of giving back to Him. Tithing is an incredibly important part of following the Lord as it is an opportunity for man to give his blessing back to God. However, the Lord uses it to bless benefit his children as well. This Sunday, Pastor Chris teaches on the principles of tithing, as well as helping work through difficulties that often come with the matter. 

Every believer has a place in the Lord's plan to further spread the gospel and his kingdom throughout the world. This Sunday, Pastor Chris discusses the influence we have as Christians in our daily lives and the call the Lord has placed on us to use that influence for His kingdom and the building up of His church. 

The Lord carries us through every situation. However, to trust Him well, we must know what He's saying. This Sunday, Pastor Chris continues our discussion on hearing and following the voice of God, as well as what it means to us. 

God's ways and His glory are not only things that make Him who He is, but they also define us as His children. This Sunday, our guest Dr. Kevin Myatt discusses God's ways and His glory, as well as how we can better get to know Him through chasing and experiencing Him in these. 

This Sunday, Pastor Chris concludes the series on fasting. He discusses the practical application of fasting through both scriptural and recent examples here in the church. Along with this, he summarizes the need for keeping one's self dependent on the Lord, ultimately finding satisfaction and guidance in the Him, and not leaning on one's own understanding and urges to make decisions.

As we discussed last week, fasting as a discipline is incredibly important in our kingdom walk. This Sunday, Pastor Chris continues by discussing how the Lord uses fasting to keep us humble and focused on Him, rather than giving in to the flesh and its way of doing things. 

The Lord has called us to do and see great things. However, it's possible find ourselves not walking like Jesus and still trying to get there. Pastor Chris explains what it means to be obedient to the Lord and how simple obedience and responsibility in the little things, like forgiveness, are what leads us to large growth and increase in the kingdom.

Many of the Lord's promises come to us in seed form and we as His children must have faith and pursue Him and His will to see them come forth. This Sunday, Pastor Chris discusses the seed principle in the kingdom and seeing the Lord's promises come to fruition, not by our own works, but by partnering with the King of the universe and the author of the promise. 

It can often be tempting to handle things we see fit rather than how God asks us to live and respond, particularly when others are involved. Today, Pastor Chris discusses how we are to view things and people from the Lord's perspective as well as how what that perspective actually is, as provided by scripture. 

To follow and fall in love with our Lord we must first know Him. This Sunday, Pastor Chris provides a solid message on what it means to know Jesus on a practical level, as well as just how important and life changing it is. 

Being a healthy and functional member of the body of Christ is integral for every believer. This Sunday, Pastor Chris walks us through how the body of Christ can be built up as well as the roles the Christians take on as they become involved in the community of believers.
