It’s Christmas time again. Time for snow angels, snow ball fights and a trip down a white powdered slope. Between the shopping, wrapping, eating and traveling, it’s a miracle we make it out of “The Holiday’s” alive. What if we stopped for a moment and focussed on the real miracle of Christmas? What if we slowed down long enough to worship the Savior, to honor the Messiah, to give glory to the only begotten Son of God? It’s time we realized this is more than a holiday…this is Jesus day…this is Christmas.

Welcome people to church by letting them know they are accepted, cared about and loved. Let them know church is a place they can call home...where they can belong, find friends and most importantly, experience God.
-
Scripture defines love beautifully. It tells us of a patient, hopeful and selfless love. A love that can care for another and make a difference in the world. A love that can honor a savior who loves us more than we could ever comprehend. A love we are capable of because God first loved us.
-
We are a broken and sinful people. People in need of a Savior. Jesus became that for us by allowing His body to be broken and His blood to be poured out on the cross. He gave His life for ours. “What He Did For You” is design for Good Friday, as an intro to a time of communion or for any message focused on the work of the cross.

Holy week begins as Jesus arrives triumphantly in Jerusalem. Fulfilling a centuries old prophecy. The people celebrated, shouting; “Blessed is He who comes in the name of The Lord”. In 7 days, Jesus would once again triumph…this time, over sin and death!
-
Lent is a time of reflection and repentance. A time to confess our sins and ask God to forgive, cleanse and help us. It’s a time to remember just how lost we are without Jesus and to dwell on all He endured to bring us grace.
-
When the work of the cross was finished, the work of Easter began. Death lost its sting. The grave was defeated. The stone was rolled away. In 3 days, Jesus accomplished everything we needed to experience his grace and redeem our eternity. Featuring an original, epic soundtrack, “Easter (He Is Risen)” is a powerful reminder of the Easter story and the saving mercy of our risen Savior.

Let's face it...without our Mom, we'd be a disaster! Our Mom has taught us, guided us and loved us through our lives. They've picked us up, held us close and shown us an example of Jesus. “Happy Mother's Day” is a bright, colorful and fun way to tell Mom's everywhere how grateful we are and how much we love them.
-
Dads are everything to their kids. They're superheroes, mechanics, teachers, encouragers, disciplinarians and so much more. Today, it's time to pause and remember all the things our Dad's have done for us...and to thank God for the gift of a Father.
-
Our great nation was founded on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As we celebrate our independence, let us not forget our dependence on God, our foundation of faith and our need for His hand to guide us.

Sometimes it's hard to find the words to express just how grateful we are for our Mom. She's taught us, fed us, nurtured us and disciplined us all because she loves us. “Dear Mom” is an open letter of thanks to all the Mom's who ever got up in the middle of the night, sat through a baseball game, fed a hungry group of teenagers or hugged us when we had a broken heart. Sometimes the only thing left to say is thank you.
-
Our mother’s hands are always there. They hold us, comfort us, guide us and show us love. They’re there for big and small moments. They hold us up and pick us up when we fall. Our Mother’s hands are a gift from God. Through them, we can feel the love God has for us.
-
Mother’s Day is a day honor all Moms. It’s a day to support Single Moms, encourage Adoptive Moms, be grateful for Foster Moms and comfort Moms who have lost a child. Not all Mothers travel the same road, but they are each loved by God and loved by those whose lives they have touched.
-
This Christmas, set your visitors at ease by letting them know they are accepted, cared about and loved. Let them know church is a place they can call home...where they can belong, find friends and most importantly, experience the miracle of Christmas.
-
The resurrection changed everything. Sin had been defeated and death had lost its sting. Our old life, separated from God, could now be renewed. The power of the resurrection made a new life, in Christ Jesus, possible.
-
Easter is more than just another Sunday. It’s more than a holiday. It’s more than a fancy hat, chocolate bunnies and Marshmallow peeps. Easter is about life. Life renewed, life restored and life redeemed. Easter comes down to a simple truth: Death has lost its sting, the grave has been defeated, He is not here…He is Risen!
-
Dads can do many “manly” things. They can mow a yard, grill a burger, use tools and even threaten to pull the car over. But, being a dad isn’t really about any of those things. It’s not about being “manly”, it’s about being Godly. It’s about loving on your kids and leading them to Jesus. This Father’s Day, inspire men to be the the kind of Dad God has called them to be.
-
We live in a nation which has slowly fallen away from the faith on which it was founded. A nation in desperate need of God and his healing hand. It’s time this great nation remembered that its independence is found in its dependence on God.
-
We live in a Nation which has slowly forgotten the principles on which it was founded. We have lost our foundation of faith. We enjoy living in freedom, but have lost sight of where that freedom comes from. Our prayer today is for our Nation to return to its roots. Our hope is for America to remember its dependence on God.
-
The Christmas story comes down to one simple truth. God loved us so much, that He gave Jesus. Because of this, eternity has changed forever. Grace arrived in Bethlehem that night and the world was never the same.
