Extravagant Grace

Youth Pastor Jason Turner brings an in-depth look at what it means to be a person of "extravagant grace."

What Did Jesus Do On The Cross, Really?

With VBS wrapping up on Sunday at the Main Campus, I gave a special "streaming" message to our North Campus and to our life groups about the true nature of our salvation.  It might surprise you!

How To Deal When You're Offended

We believers find ourselves offended way more than we should be, don't we? We get upset at someone, and we want nothing to do with them any more.  We hold on to anger, bitterness, resentment, even hatred.  We deal with our offense in all the opposite ways Jesus calls us to.  So, how do we deal when offended?

Apollos: Passionate, but Lacking Focus

Matt Elmore, missionary to Kenya, shares with us from the Book of Acts how Apollos was discipled, so that he could make disciples.

Unwrapping The Gift of Tongues

Sure, there are a lot of different teachings on tongues out there.  In fact, you might be surprised at what the Bible actually does say about this controversial gift. In this final message of the "Unwrapped" series, we will examine this gift through the lens of Scripture.

Baptism And Communion

These two simple illustrations are deep and powerful.  Given to us by God.  There is such deep meaning and substance there... If you're paying attention.  Many believers breeze right on past these two important ordinances, taking them for granted.  In this message, Pastor Steve opens a little window into the depth of these two powerful illustrations.

When Good Plans Go Bad

Have you ever been where you KNOW God has a specific plan for your life... Yet, He seems to keep shutting doors?  When that happens, progress seems to come to a halt, and we become frustrated.  We want to just bang our heads against those closed doors, and force them open!  But, that isn't God's plan for you, is it?  In this message, Pastor Jason teaches us how to deal when God closes the door.

Unwrapping the Gift of Prophecy

This is another one of those "sign" gifts that make some people a little skittish.  But, it really isn't anything to be afraid of.  This may be the most complex gift we have looked at so far, so get ready as we deconstruct the gift of prophecy, and make it easier to understand.

Unwrapping The Gift of Healing

As we continue to "unwrap" the spiritual gifts, we'll look at the somewhat controversial gift of healing. Is that gift really for today?  Wasn't that just for Bible times?  So much of what we see makes us shy away from this particular gift.. It has been misused and abused.  In this message, we have a look at what Scripture and what the evidence says about this gift.

Do You Remember?

On Memorial Day Weekend, we always appreciate our freedoms, bought by those who have sacrificed their lives for us.  As believers, do we appreciate our freedom in Christ because of the sacrifice He made on the cross?  How do we live out that freedom in our lives?  That is the question Youth Pastor Jason Turner asks in today's message.
