Jesus Focused Ministry
Jesus Focused Faith
Luke 6:43-7:10
There are two times in Scripture where Jesus was amazed. Both had to do with faith. One was for the lack of faith and the other was of GREAT faith. God's calls all people to place their faith in Him, to trust that He can do what He has promised. We all go through storms in life and the way we face them is determined by where we place our faith. Will our lives be grounded on the solid rock or the shifting sand? |

Jesus Focused Judging?
Luke 6:37-42
"Judge Not Lest You Be Judged?" Haven't we all heard that verse quoted? Often it is quoted by those who are saying "get off my back, I want to do what I want." There are few passages of Scripture that are more well known, and more readily misquoted. Listen as we talk about this essential truth for a healthy church. How do we combat a judgmental and critical spirit while discerning what is right or wrong in each others lives? |

Jesus Focused Ministry
Jesus Focused Love; Luke 6:27-36
There are a few messages that are less popular and yet so needed in the church today. What does it mean to love my enemies? What if I don't want to love my enemies? What if I don't have what it takes? What if my enemies don't deserve to be loved? Why does this have any importance in my life? Jesus did not stutter on this subject, and He modeled it with a path of sacrifice and service. |

How Did I Ever Find Myself Here?
We know that God wants us to be who we are, to do what we love to do and are called to do. There is no greater satisfaction and joy than that of doing what we are intended to do. Steve Keller, our NAB Regional Minister, looks at the 'Slips, stumbles, and surprises on the journey of faith with Father Abraham' featuring selected scriptures from the book of Genesis. |

One Prayer
Love Your Neighbor as Yourself
Love is a simple four letter word with two vowels, two consonants, and one really hard concept to live up to. In Mark 12 Jesus said, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Jesus quoted that love commandment without qualification, without limitations, and without boundaries on the love. |

One Prayer: Love
"LOVE".... Four letters, two vowels, and one really hard concept. John 13:34-35, Acts 1:8, and 1 John 4:7-8 tells "Believers" that our community sees what Jesus looks like by looking at us, God's people. Let's live a life so powerful, so unsettling, so wonderful, so joyous, and so loving, that our lives wouldn't make sense...if our God did not exist.

Jesus Centered Values
Happiness and Heartbreak
Jesus spoke of happiness and heartbreak on a level that is not of this world. Jesus revealed to his followers that happiness is solidly grounded, not in the circumstances of this world, but in the security and joy that comes from the heart of God. Ultimate heartbreak is for those who have no hope and have no connection to the God who breathes hope to a lost world. |

World Class Draft Picks?
Luke 6:12-16
What was Jesus thinking when He chose unschooled and ordinary men to be His closest companions and essential leaders for the church at His departure? Somehow these men were used to turn the world upside right. What was Jesus looking for when He chose the twelve?

One Prayer - You
John 17:13-17
You! The shocking message of the Bible continues to be that God has chosen the least suspecting of all vessels to do His greatest work. What you are at this particular moment in your life is irrelevant. Who you are is likewise irrelevant. What counts most is what and who you are willing to become. |

Deep Cycle Trickle Charge Rest
Luke 6:1-11
Jesus is not the great "burner outer in the sky" Who assigns tasks that lead to empty tanks, and empty hearts. Jesus said that His burden is light and well fitting. How do we find the balance of doing the work that the Lord assigns, balanced with rest that protects from burnout? Join us Sunday as we consider how God's Word tells us to achieve that balance in our lives. |

Triumphing Traditionalism
Luke 5:33-39
Jesus spoke of the need for new wine skins as He spoke to the religious leaders of the day. There is a subtle temptation for all of us to settle for the status quo and become complacent, keep things the same for the sake of security and comfort. So, how do we face the challenges that come with ongoing change? Are we willing to step out of the boat and trust the Lord? |

Life-Changing Faith
When someone is down for the count, what a blessing to have friends who will take that person to Jesus. We will be learning some life impacting principles that motivate us to care for one another in a way that can change our worlds for good. Because of the faith of the four, a man with no hope but a future limited to a mat, was transformed and healed by the miracle worker Jesus. Listen in as we learn that the physical healing, as great as it was, was simply a sign pointing to something far greater that Jesus did internally for the man confined to the mat. |

Lessons From Being Skunked
Luke 5:1-11
No one wants to return from a fishing trip having to say, "we were skunked." But God can use "skunk" times in life to teach us life-changing principles. You might be "skunked" in looking for work, or in relationships, or in finances. God often teaches us more in these "skunk" seasons of life than in times of prosperity. Lets look at the deeper life lessons that Jesus teaches us when things are not going as planned. |

Uncompromising Purpose

Uncompromising Obedience
Luke 3:1-22
When Jesus' ministry was launched, His first step was to enter the waters of baptism. Why does God initiate His people into the family of believers by getting wet? Isn't that a little weird? What is the purpose of baptism? Why did Jesus need to be baptized, since He was sinless? |

Jesus Rose; Does It Matter
The resurrection of Jesus is the most known and celebrated miracle in the history of mankind. It is the core issue of the Christian faith. Jesus said in John 11:25 (NIV), "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies." The angels asked, in Luke 24:5, "why do you look for the living among the dead?" Many today are still trying to find life in things that bring them ultimate death. |

Why Jesus Came In The Flesh
Some have proposed that Jesus was only a ghost without a physical body when he walked this planet. But Jesus came and took on real flesh and blood for a reason. Don't assume that this topic is only for heady theologians. Everything Jesus did, and is doing, for you and me is tied to His sinless humanity. Join us Sunday as we study why Jesus' life in the "flesh" is a non-negotiable truth of the Christian faith. |

Extravagant Love (Prodigal God)
Extravagant Love
Luke 15
When Jesus spoke to the serious minded Pharisees and religious Scribes, he told three stories about things that were lost. In all three stories, when the item was found the story ended with a party and celebration. In fact the stories teach us about what causes parties to break out in heaven. This is a message of hope and joy as we celebrate God's extravagant and lavish love that is expressed to everyone. |

Home Coming
Luke 15
There is a lost son and the father stays home and waits for his return. Why didn't the father go out after his son? Why was it important for the Prodigal Son to come to his senses, on his own, first? God is waiting, no matter where we have been, for us to come back to Him. The good news is that He will always receive us in a first class fashion when we turn from our sin. |

What Do You Need To Be Happy?
What does it take for you to be happy? The younger brother thought that materialism and self expression would lead to happiness. The older brother took the route of moral-ism and self-righteousness. Neither found happiness on their own. The source of happiness was available all the time in the provision and presence of their loving father.

Meekness is not wimpy, but actually it is "strength under control." Meekness in Jesus' day was considered a vice, not a virtue. But God values humility!

When we make ourselves low, God will lift us up in his time and we begin to learn to enjoy "The Only Path to Happiness." |

Dress for Success
Ephesians 4:17-24
God is concerned that we learn to dress for success from the inside out. Man looks at the outward appearance and is impressed by the superficial. Join us Sunday as we consider how to clothe our lives with character. |

Body Building God's Way
If a publishing company stops publishing books they go out of business. If a church stops making disciples it stops being a church, regardless of the building, the services or the pastor. A church must produce disciples, students, learners of Christ! Hear how to build the body of Christ, God's way. |

Sucess At What Cost?
Ephesians 3:14-21
God is concerned with the inward things! Some are only now coming to realize that the important things in life cannot be bought! Character, love and peace are benefits of following God, and they come at no financial cost, yet they reap great benefits. |

The Best Kept Secret
Ephesians 3:1-13
God reveals the greatest mystery in life. It is a mystery that communicates who we are in Christ! We need to follow the process of "know," "be," and then "do" what God has commanded. It takes all three elements to live as an authentic Christ follower.

Strike It Rich
Ephesians 1:3-14
In our society, people are infatuated with success. No one wants to be considered a loser. Libraries are full of books written to guarantee you success and riches, and tell you how finding the secret to financial success will change your live for the good. This sermon looks at how rich we are "in Christ." |
