First Things First: The First Offering
Our giving matters—not just the amount, but the intent behind it. Giving to God has always been an emotional test, just like it was for Cain all the way back near the beginning. Are we giving our first and best to God? Let's challenge ourselves to give first, give in faith, and give with gratitude.

First Things First: Cultivating A First Love Relationship
We can do a lot of things without love. For instance, you can work a job without loving your job. But what about when it comes to Christianity? What happens to it when love for Jesus slips from first place? What starts as genuine love can quickly become dead works. We start becoming known for what we're against and not what we're for. We exchange love for lists. The good news is, we can intentionally cultivate a first love relationship with our Savior, and a love for Christ that's grown cold can burn hotter than ever! Sunday...

Signs: Don't Miss The Signs
700 years before Jesus' birth, God gave signs of His coming. In a time of great fear, God was speaking and encouraging His people to trust Him. Our lives are also filled with signs that point the way to God’s will. Some may even come disguised as opposition. Can we recognize them? How can we trust that He is present with us through it all, and that He's coming back one day? Sunday, December 8, 2024 Message: Signs (Don't Miss The Signs) by Bill Leckie

The Promised Land Man
Have you ever thought to yourself, "When I get _____, then I'll be happy"? We tend to either give the wins or the failures in our life too much of our attention. While God's intention is to walk WITH us, we either lag behind Him because our failures hold us back or run in front of Him because our successes inflate our egos.

Points of Passion: Finding Freedom
Pastor Tim explains that God is passionate about FREEDOM. He wants to set us free and to help us stay free. What captures our hearts is important to Him, because He knows how those things can lead us back into spiritual slavery. But when we invite the Holy Spirit into our struggles and daily choices, we begin to live life to the fullest as He changes us from the inside out.

Points of Passion: Knowing God
What are you passionate about? If you don't know, you may find the answer somewhere in the intersection of what makes you tick and what ticks you off! But perhaps the better question is, "What is GOD passionate about?" Let's do our best to search it out, because as Pastor Tim explains, it's when His passions become our passions that real life change begins to happen.

The Power Of Vulnerability
"God loves to reveal His power through what's not enough." A lot of us have been raised to believe that vulnerability and humility are synonymous with weakness. But things are upside-down in God's kingdom, so a healthy relationship with Him and with others actually requires and open and unmasked heart. What the world exploits, God expands, so let's take up Pastor Tim's challenge to let the Lord reveal His power through our brokenness.

The Steps I Can't Take
"Who is going to step out in faith for me when I can't step for myself?" We can't keep up this Christian walk for long without some help from the outside. Pastor Tim Ingram encourages us to stop and take a look at our circle of friends--do you have any that are faith-filled? What does a faith-filled friend look like, and why is it so critically important to have them in our lives?

The Heart Steps
This might very well be the hardest step of faith for some of us. Trusting God with our sin, our children, our job, and our eternity is often easier than trusting Him with our money. Why is it such a struggle? We want to be more generous, but we need helping to step into it. As Pastor Tim shares the truth of God's Word and offers a different perspective, we can come to the realization that, in giving we lose nothing, and we can start to prove that our faith does not depend upon our finances.

The Uneasy Steps
Pastor Tim takes on the topic of perseverance. People won't always like it when you grow in your faith. You may even start hearing things like, “Stay in your lane,” or “Sit down and shut up.” It’s going to take perseverance to accomplish your purpose. The good news is, Jesus teaches us how to keep pushing when things are pushing back. If you don't quit, you'll find JOY in the middle of resistance.

The Bottom Line: Preach the Word, Finish the Race
Your life = Your sermon. How you live tells some people all they may know about Jesus. The Apostle Paul concludes his letter to his protege Timothy with a strong encouragement to preach the Word, fight the good fight, and finish the race, and we too can be stirred up by his words to start living like we were truly meant to.

The Bottom Line: Things Will Get Worse, Know Your Word
Are you prepared for when things get worse? In 2 Timothy, Paul warns his mentee that people will become more selfish, everyone who wants to live godly lives will get persecuted for it, and the truth will get harder to find. How can we apply his wisdom in this present age when "normal" doesn't necessarily mean right and our need for approval makes not fitting in tough?

The Bottom Line: Be Strong, Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing

The Bottom Line: Don't Be Ashamed, Don't Be Timid
"When there’s more of your life in the rear-view mirror than the windshield, your perspective changes." When the Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy, his spiritual son, he probably felt the urgency of passing along the good stuff with no frills. As we study his words together, let his message give you the courage to fight shame, develop your gifts, and fight for your faith.

Fear of the Lord
What's the first thing that pops into your head when you think of the word "fear?" An unusual phobia that you have? Anxiety maybe? When Scripture talks about "the fear of the Lord," however, it involves a deep reverence, awe, and respect for His holiness, power, and authority. This kind of fear is actually a gift, and we need to understand why that is if we are to lived transformed lives.

The truth is that, when we decide to follow Him, we are both instantly changed and also in an ongoing process of changing. How can we embrace this fact and get straight to living godly and purposeful lives?

Oh, I Thought You Were Gonna Do That
In any relationship, different people contribute different things. We can run into issues whenever we start to make assumptions about responsibilities, which can lead to frustrations in the relationship. How does this apply to our relationship with God? Could it be that most of our spiritual frustrations come from a lack of understanding or unmet expectations from God? Let's get clear on what His expectations are of us, and what ours ought to be of Him.

The Offensive Jesus
Did you know that Jesus offended people? His teaching and miracles drew massive crowds, but many of those people also turned away from Him when they heard things that they didn't want to hear. Today, we want a gospel that’s non-offensive and all-affirming. The true Gospel is actually abrasive—but it isn't mean.

The Empty Tomb (Easter Sunday)
Easter was the Sunday morning that changed history. The death and resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of the Christian faith, and yet we often struggle with what it means for us personally. When we really take a deep look at things, it doesn’t take much faith to believe He existed or that He rose, since we have historical evidence for that. Instead, it takes faith to believe that He did it for US PERSONALLY, and to respond accordingly.

If you don't really know who you are, how can you do what you were designed to do? In contrast, when we start to grasp how we were created, it can help us live lives that are deeply connected to God. When each part is functioning well and in its proper place, then we can finally live according to who we really are.
