Elder James brings the 3rd message in our Core Values Series, Grace. Grace changes how we see and how we act.

Pride promises to make us bigger, better, and more important, but only makes us smaller and meaner. 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!
Most often overlooked in church, but probably the most important sin we need to contend with. And Jesus has shown us the way for us to Kill it, and live rich and fulfilling lives.

Why is it that God's people can so readily receive unconditional grace from God, yet be so stingy to hand it out to one another? Even though Jesus came to free us from religious bondage, we are so easy to dispense religious demands and expectations. Find out how Jesus gave us a new command that will rid all our relationships of religious behavior....and empower us to be Grace Dispensers.

If religion is from the enemy and rooted in the flesh, and if "doing good things to please God" is religious behavior, then where does the Law come in? Isn't the Law good? How do we keep the commands of God but stay free from religion? Don't miss this message!

We live in an emotionally driven culture. 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.

The Thessalonian Church had questions about the order of events to come. Paul warned them about being deceived by false teaching but to recall what he had taught them. God did not appoint the church to suffer wrath but salvation. We to should understand the promise of God and this should be reflected in our words and our works.
