living for eternity today
Ok so confession time. I’m a control freak. I love to know where things are going. I try to predict the future as often as I can. Not in that weird fortune-teller with a glass ball sort of way but I try to foresee problems and make a plan to overcome. I’m one of those type “A” personalities that probably is more of an “A+” at times! But sometimes we need to just let go of the wheel of our lives. Continue reading
This is the final message in the series titled We Believe. Throughout this series we’ve looked at some of the key elements of our faith and discovered not only what we believe but why we believe them. In our final message from the series, Pastor Derrick wraps it all up with a discussion of the teaching of calling. As you listen, consider what God has called you to do and who He has called you to be.
How are you? It’s a simple question that we will hear, if not say ourselves, multiple times every day. But how do you respond? Are you one of those who respond with I’m ok? I believe that OK is just a copout on a bigger reality. I believe we’re never supposed to be just OK. Continue reading
There is so much hatred and so much division in the news these days that this song made me pause for a moment. The title just speaks volumes. We all bleed the same. It doesn’t matter what you look like on the outside, we all bleed the same when we are hurt. So the short message here is just be kind. Be kind because the person with whom you are interacting bleeds the same way you bleed. Continue reading
Ever wonder how things work? Sometimes we wonder how things in our everyday lives operate. But sometimes we ponder deeper things like how does God get his good stuff to us. This is the topic Pastor Derrick shared on Sunday. Give it a listen.
What’s your biggest dream? What’s the dream that lives inside you that’s just so big you will take something or someone much larger than you to pull off? But what happens with a dream is so big that it just seems impossible? What do you do when a dream feels just impossible? Continue reading
Many people know what they believe but rarely do we spend time considering why we believe the things we believe. This week Pastor Derrick shares some details on what we believe about baptism and why it’s so important to our identity as followers of Christ.
Well it happened again. This time worse than the last. Another senseless act of violence. Another mass killing. Another group of innocent lives ripped from their friends and families in a timeframe we call too soon. The details are still rolling out. The motive, if there is one, is yet to be determined. There are so many questions that our heads are spinning! But as many questions as exist, there seems to be even more blame. So whose fault is it anyway? Continue reading
This week in our We Believe series, we tackle a pretty big “churchy” word. Some words have a connection in the real world that makes them easy to understand but this week’s word isn’t that way. Listen as Pastor Derrick explains justification and why it’s so important!
Ever fall and not know how to recover? Ever make a mistake that seems so big no one will ever let you live it down? Ever just want to give up, close yourself in your room and NEVER come out? Then it’s time for a comeback! Continue reading
