Spiritual Focus and Faithfulness
by Pastor Ken Endean (Oct 31 2010)
Jesus deals with heart devotion in His Sermon on the Mount. In the sixth chapter of Matthew there are competing treasures, visions, and masters.
Leadership Anomalies
by Dr. Mark Minnick (Oct 26 2010)
Have you ever wondered how God can seemingly bless leaders who persistently do the wrong thing? A look into the lives of Balaam, Samson, and Solomon shows leadership anomalies. People can draw the wrong conclusions about their activities if they are not discerning about their lives. The truth is God doesn't let failure go unnoticed and unrecorded. Leader anomalies adversely affect their followers, and the Word of God reigns supreme in these inconsistencies.

Care Cast on Him Who Cares
by Dr. Mark Minnick (Oct 24 2010)
Suffering and trouble are the means of experiencing true grace. There are three categories of customary cares in scripture. There are the cares of the necessities of life, the care for the lives of others, and the care for the work of God. Phil. 4:5-7 tells us what to do with our cares. 1. Don't worry. 2. Pray. 3. Make supplication. 4. Be thankful.
The Power of the Bodily Resurrection of Christ
by Dr. Mark Minnick (Oct 24 2010)
The bodily resurrection of Christ is crucial to the gospel. It is evidence that He had authority over the Jewish religious system, it was the infallible proof that He is alive, and it is the proof that God made Jesus both Lord and Messiah.
Gospel Satisfied and Saturated
by Pastor Ken Endean (Oct 17 2010)
Series: Church Growth
What is your life centered on? What defines you? For Paul it was the gospel, and it should be true that every believer is satisfied and saturated in the gospel.
Not Ashamed
by Pastor Rob McIlwaine (Oct 10 2010)
Paul's statements in Romans 1 should be statements that every believer can make. He said, I am a servant of Jesus Christ, I am separated unto the gospel, I am debtor, I am ready to preach, and I am not ashamed. Paul was not ashamed of the gospel of Christ because it is the power of God, it brings salvation, and it reveals the righteousness of God.
