The Reality of Temptation Part 1

Remaining Faithful in the Culture Part 2

Everything you experience, your whole personality and quirks, and even the specific time, month, and day you were born, is all on purpose. Your whole life is specifically and specially planned out for you to meet, experience, and surrender to God. In today's message, Pastor Jay will teach that your circumstances are there to point you to Christ and Christ alone, good and bad. Your life is designed for you to encounter the love of Christ, learn about Him, and then fall in love with Him yourself.

Remaining Faithful in the Culture Part 1

The space that we make for ungratefulness and just plain discontentment is where idolatry grows. Idolatry thrives in our lack of thankfulness and satisfaction in Christ. In today's message, Pastor Jay will share about what idolatry is and how it's so much more than the physical idols we read about in the Bible. Idolatry looked like a little statue, but idolatry today can be anything we put above Christ. Anything you trust in, think about more, or even love can be an idol God wants to remove.

The Reality of Temptation Part 2

God's leading of his people has never been absent. He has always been clear about how He would have his people live. Whether we look at God walking in the garden with Adam, the Ten Commandments given to ancient Israel, or the Bible that God has given us now, he has always been clear on his desire for us and how we ought to live. In today's message, Pastor Jay reminds us that as God directed the nation of Israel out of Egypt, so He directed the Corinthian church, and that hasn't changed for us today

The Reality of Temptation Part 1

I was definitely that hard-headed kid growing up! There were times when I would be told not to do something because I could get hurt, and no sooner had my parents turned away than I figured, “Well, surely I can do it and not get injured!” I hate to say it, but doing things my way, more often than not, ended up disastrous for me! Israel, and as we’ll see in today’s message, the early church, also suffered these consequences! Listen today as Pastor Jay teaches how we can avoid these hard lessons ourselves!

Running to Win Part 2

Are we actively engaging in our spiritual journey by obeying God’s call to share the gospel? Politicians strive to connect with different groups to win votes. The Apostle Paul encourages us to become like those we encounter so we can lead them to Christ. Today, Pastor Jay urges us to adopt a mindset focused on winning the prize by practicing temperance. Exercise self-control and maintain spiritual discipline. Remember, we aim to win the prize not for our own gain, but for the sake of the gospel.
