Its destructive and It keeps us from meaningful relationships, and it more than anything it keeps us from experiencing God the way we should. Its Pride!

With Reality T.V. being our guide to life, and social media immersing us with comparison and competition with others, most of our actions today are driven out of emotion. In fact, most of our thinking, about us, others and even God are driven out of emotion. In this series we'll discuss how God made it possible to keep our emotions in check through the Spirit, so that our thoughts, actions and even our theology can be in their proper place.2015-08-3144 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchStanding Firm: The Enemy of the ChurchThe Thessalonian Church had questions about the order of events to come.

Its the very thing that He died for: the Church - the Body of Christ. What He desires most from us is to treat His body like He does - to love one another like He does...so that we can be built up in him, remaining ONE until He returns. Anything else, is working against Him....and that's a serious matter.2014-05-2338 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchONE #9: One Model<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/2b/9f/58/lifecoastchurch/3000x3000_9297478.jpeg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />Understanding Grace is foundational in order to move forward on our Christian Journey.

Do you drink, smoke, pierce, or Tat? R Movies, bikinis, or fattening foods? Do we live a strict lifestyle, or one of extravagant grace? The Bible does not give us clear commands on these areas, but believers sure seem to take sides and fight a lot about them. This is Satan's plan.

If he accepted he risked defilement by touching blood. Yet what Simon found in assisting the Savior, was that the cross he carried was truly his own, and the blood that spilled on him would not defile him, but make him clean! Find out from Simon how we too can be clean by the blood and cross...2014-04-1742 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchThe Cross Experience: Joseph of Arimathea<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/2b/9f/58/lifecoastchurch/3000x3000_9456761.jpg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />Why don't we tell more people about the cross? Is it fear...of losing friends, respect, our job? Or is it because we are so busy living that we only remember His death once a year?

He knows that our intimacy develops unity, and if he can break that, we are left wandering on our own. So everything in life is either meant to help or hinder our intimacy with Christ, even our relationships.2014-04-0943 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchONE #6: Dear Lifecoast<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/2b/9f/58/lifecoastchurch/3000x3000_9297478.jpeg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />Do you know the ONE thing that tears apart most churches?

So how do we deal with it? Today Pastor Neil Eaton, our overseer, encourages us to deal with a fallen brother with Truth and Love, encouraging them back to live a life of celebration. And in the end, by dealing with it, it keeps us ONE!2014-03-1836 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchONE 4: One Family<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/2b/9f/58/lifecoastchurch/3000x3000_9297478.jpeg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />What does the world see when it looks at Lifecoast? Does it see a family? People who love each other and prove that God is real by their actions? Or do they see a prideful taking of sides and fighting for preferences? We are all saved by grace, and are called to the same mission, so to reach this world, we must humble ourselves to one another....in love.2014-03-1345 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchONE #2: One in Spirit<img src="https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/2b/9f/58/lifecoastchurch/3000x3000_9297478.jpeg" alt="itunes pic" /><br />In all our diversity God chose us to be His own. But He didn't call us into uniformity, rather to unity in the Spirit. As believers we all "house" the Holy Spirit.

Politically, socially, and economically. Even God's Church can seem to be greatly divided and more concerned with unimportant things rather than the Mission Jesus set out for it? How do we fight against division in the church, and learn to fight for His true Mission for us - to Unite and Conquer the enemy, and...2014-02-2442 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchSamson 3: Small Steps the Great DestructionSamson got his act together and led Israel for 20 good years. But then it all came crashing down around him. Today Josh Toro shows us how easily we can lose everything, but it never happens over night. Destruction usually happens in the many small steps we take away from God.2013-12-0247 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchSamson 2: Emotions That Take Strong Men DownWe get in trouble when our lives are driven by emotions. They always lead us to a path of destruction. Today Lifecoaster James Allen shows us how Samson’s emotions of anger and pride allowed him to get revenge on his adversaries, but always at the cost of those close to him. How do we take our deepest needs that tend to drive emotions and take them to God instead so they can be fulfilled by Him?2013-11-1845 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchSamson 1: When Strong Men Are WeakSamson was an incredibly strong man with a dangerously weak will. Today Pastor Mike shows us the three attitudes that make strong men weak- lust, entitlement, and pride, the very things that bring even the best men down to destruction. But Jesus wants to make weak men strong, to be able to fight for the right things, and stand in the gap for this hurting world. Will you be that man?2013-11-1245 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchChristian Atheist 7: I Don't Do ChurchWe live in a world of proud independence. Even those who believe in God tend to stay disconnected from the Church. Many have given up on church altogether, for various reasons. Join Pastor Mike as he shares 6 vital elements of church found in Acts 2, that make it the most exciting place to be on the planet - a place you wouldn't want to miss for anything. The best thing is that those things are evident today...and they can change your life! Its time to get to church!2013-08-2048 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchChristian Atheist 6: I Don't Share My FaithThere are many reasons that believers don't share their faith in Jesus with others. Truth is, most simply don't! However, if the truths that we believe about Jesus are indeed true, then there should be no reason good enough NOT to share our faith. Jesus truly Is the Savior. Heaven really IS that good. Hell really IS real, and CAN be avoided. And if we truly have a God who lives within us - these truths would just come bubbling out. Its time for believers to press in and Tell the World!2013-08-2035 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchChristian Atheist 5: I Trust My Money MoreOur money says, "In God We Trust," but why does it seem to be the least thing we trust God with? If we understood who owns it all, and who so generously gives it to us in the first place, we might have a different perspective on what it is truly to be used for. And when we "get it," our money problems will be no more.2013-08-1156 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchChristian Atheist 4: I Worry All The TimeDo you believe in God, yet you worry about everything? Most people don't realize that faith and worry do not go together. In fact, worry actually diminishes faith, and it can paralyze the hand of God from working in your life. How do you stop? How do you go from worry-filled to faith-driven? Holly Wehde uses the Apostle Paul and great personal stories to show us how.2013-08-1140 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchChristian Atheist 2: I Won't ForgiveIn a broken world, most have been hurt by others many times by the time they become an adult. And finding an ability to forgive can seem impossible. Though finding God's love can be so healing to us, true healing can only come when we come to forgive those who have hurt us. There is freedom not just in accepting God's forgiveness, but complete healing in forgiving others. Its what we need...and its what the world needs to see.2013-07-2645 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchChristian Atheist 2: I Don't PrayDo you believe that prayer works, but you rarely pray? Many Christians participate in less than 10 minutes of prayer a week, even though they know God answers our prayers. Today Pastor Mike shows us two key ingredients to a powerful and effective prayer life?2013-07-1847 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchChristian Atheist 1: Do You Know Him?Many claim to "know" Jesus, but not as many take the time to get to know Him, and as a result, they don't really "know" Him. God desires so much more, seeking to have a relationship with us, and to fill us with purpose and fulfillment. But if we do not take the step to know Him more, we live just like the rest of the world, and never experience all that He has for us.2013-07-181h 04Lifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchGrace & Truth 3: The ListToday, we are always compelled to take sides over popular issues, and make judgments based on people's actions or sins. But Jesus refused to give in to position taking, and He always approached the sinner with grace and truth, with a heart of love. Pastor Jeff shows us how to do this in our lives, and the key is remembering who we really are, and what has been freely given to us, and should be freely given to others.2013-07-0646 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchGrace & Truth 2: The Two TreesJesus walked this earth with a perfect balance of Grace and Truth, and brought life to those He encountered. How did He do it, while we tend to struggle in such relationships. The answer is in the Tree that Jesus from which Jesus drew His source. Listen as Pastor Mike describes the 2 Trees found in Genesis, and how we tend to live from the wrong one. If you want to experience life, you have to be living in the Tree of Life.2013-06-2948 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchGrace & Truth 1How do you walk in grace and truth? It seems we always seem to lean one way or the other. We either turn someone away with truth, or leave others feeling no need to change because of grace. Jesus modeled the perfect balance of the two, and experienced perfect results, with the woman at the well.2013-06-1835 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchGrace Works 7: Live Out, Give Out GraceHow do you help change a hurting world? Our task is not to try and change them...but simply to live out the grace that has changed us. If we allow the Grace of Jesus to fill us...then we can freely give it away to the world around us. Live it out, then give it out freely, as its been freely given to us.2013-06-0138 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchGrace Works 6: Grace GiversIf God's Grace is so transformational, why do we see so little of it in His Church? At times it seems like you could find more grace at WalMart than you can among God's people at Church? The truth is - relationships are hard, and people are all sinners. So how do we learn how to live in grace with one another? How do go from being people in need of grace to grace givers?2013-05-2147 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchGrace Works 5: Abiding In Grace WorksFor all that Jesus Christ has done for us, it should be easy for us to want to do things for Him. But sometimes our focus becomes the tasks we are doing, instead of the One we are doing them for. And in the end we end up feeling exhausted and unappreciated. But Jesus didn't tell us to produce fruit for Him. Instead He told us to just remain in Him, like branches on a vine. In the abiding, He produces all the fruit through us that He desires, filling us with joy! Abiding in His grace...works!2013-05-1841 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchGrace Works 4: Working GraceAfter our messages on Salvation through Grace and then understanding that Grace throws away the "score card" use for ourselves, the place to go next is what is our next step? The next step is to just let Grace do its work. It seems easy and satan tries to lead us back to our list of DOs and DONT'S. letting Grace do its work is an Inside Out process. We first must completely surrender our will over to The Spirit within us and begin the process of learning to hear His voice. It all begins with surrender.2013-05-0744 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchGrace Plus XProbably the biggest problem believers contend with after salvation is the idea that there still is nothing left to do to please God. We know by grace He was happy at the cross to let us into heaven, but we're not altogether sure how to keep Him happy until we get there. We are a people of works, and we develop lists of do's and dont's to "add to" grace.. hoping its enough to please Him. Pastor Mike shows us how the lists don't work, and in fact, how they have a negative effect on us all. We cannot do...2013-04-2943 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchGrace 2: The Great ExchangeFrom the very beginning, right up until the coming of Jesus, Grace has been God’s plan. Sin has riddled us, and seeks to drive us far away from God. And our natural bent is to “make up” the difference for our shortcoming by working hard at getting better. We’ll join a religion, and try to “look” better, or be better, but in the end, it all falls short. Nothing helps this guilty conscience of ours. But God, because He is love, Graced man with an alternative to his works - His Son – and we have to do nothing to earn His pl...2013-04-2342 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchGrace Works: IntroductionFor most of us, we learn about grace as that ticket God purchased for us to be used later when we die to get into Heaven. But what if it were more than that? We can look around and see a world, and a church, that is riddled with a lack of Grace. Religion is everywhere – with it’s Do’s and Be’s, and guilt and shame. But it never really helps us get better, and our churches many times look just like the world. What we have found is that unless we have learned to receive God's grace - we won...2013-04-1549 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchGuardrails #5: Me and the Mrs.Do guardrails really work? Pastor Mike & Holly share several of the guardrails they've built into their lives from the dating years, money, fighting and parenting. Your guardrails may look a little different, but the bigger lesson is the need to be intentional about setting up guardrails. You'll thank yourself for doing so some day, as God blesses you with a rich marriage. The prudent see danger and take refuge,
but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
-Proverbs 27:122012-10-1549 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchGuardrails #4: The Consumption AssumptionContrary to popular opinion, God does not want something from you, he wants something for you. And nowhere is that more true than with your finances. Then why are we so insistent on separating our faith and our finances? What kinds of guardrails need to go up in order to protect us from financial disaster?2012-10-0847 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchGuardrails #3: Flee, Baby, Flee!If there is one area in your life that absolutely needs some guardrails, this is probably it…our sexuality! Sexual Disasters are the most difficult to recover from….as we carry the baggage of our mistakes, or others, with us for a very long time. Guardrails in this area are the most needed, but it is the most resisted area of all. Fortunately, the Bible is pretty clear on how we should approach it: FLEE! Join Pastor Mike as he gives us some guidelines for establishing Guardrails in this area of our lives!2012-10-0851 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchGuardrails #2: Why Can't W Be Friends?Friendships are powerful things. They're great, but dangerous. You drop your guard with your friends. You become less careful. And as a result, you're easily influenced, drawn toward the acceptance you find. Because of this vulnerability, it would be smart to develop some guardrails. It's not an easy…2012-10-0342 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchGuardrails 1: Direct & ProtectNobody plans to wreck their marriage. Nobody plans to ruin his or her finances. Nobody plans to struggle with an addiction. What steps do you take to make sure these things don't happen? You can tell yourself that you'll "be careful," but we all know that doesn't protect us. Today Pastor Mike shows us the importance of guardrails and how God wants to use them to make sure we live victoriously for Him!2012-09-1746 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchChristian #7: What Does Love Look Like?If the world is to know that we are Jesus' disciples by our love, then what does that love need to look like? We all have limits to our love for others, especially if those "others" are our enemies. Its natural. But Jesus shows us how to have a love without limits, even for our enemies, by looking at people in a different way. As we close the series, we learn one of the most important truths of our journey - What does a love that changes the world look like?2012-08-0746 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchChristian #6: LoopholesLooking for loopholes comes naturally. Whether it's eating all of our vegetables or being home by curfew, no one has to teach us that there is a difference between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. Jesus had a new perspective on rules and loopholes. Today Brian Kingsley shows us that the difference between a Christian and a Disciple may be the one question we ask ourselves each day!2012-07-2546 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchChristian #5: Speak ChristianMany times we do not realize how we communicate to others who we are or what we believe. And if the world were to look at the Church, it certainly would be confused by the message we are sending by how poorly we communicate. Chris Irwin shows us how Jesus, the perfect, eternal expression of God's love to us, communicated with a perfect balance of grace and truth, and how we can use love to do the same to a word around us.2012-07-2438 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchChristian #2: Vitamin JesusIn this series we are looking at the difference between the terms "christian" and "disciple," and what our true mandate is as followers of Christ. Today Pastor Mike compares modern day Christianity to the one-a-day vitamins. Many think that if we just "add" Jesus to our already chaotic and unhealthy lives, everything will get better. The problem is that Jesus never wanted to be an additive to our lives. He actually wanted to "subtract" from them...and change them altogether. True discipleship is when we live to make Him greater, and us less.2012-06-2638 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchChristian #1: Brand Recognition"Christian" is a brand that can be good, bad, attractive, or repelling. It's a loaded label no matter whom you ask. But where did the word come from? And did it come with instructions? Today Pastor Jeff reexamines the word "Christian" and revisits the one thing Jesus wanted his followers to be known for. Does this characterize who we are?2012-06-2600 minLifecoast ChurchLifecoast ChurchWITWIGO? #8 Return of the KingToday Pastor Jeff brings us to the end of the Tribulation - to the Return of the King of Kings. What are the events of the final days that lead up to that time? How will wars in the Holy Land bring about His Return?
