    How to Live with Gratitude Every Day (Living with Gratitude — Week 4)

    Pastor Chris Andrews (Associate Pastor) - ​​1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; Galatians 5:22-23; Philippians 4:4-7)   Living with gratitude is a daily spiritual discipline rooted in God’s will for us (1 Thessalonians 5:16–18). It is expressed through three daily practices: choose joy, practice continual prayer, and give thanks intentionally. Choosing joy means rejoicing in God’s goodness regardless of circumstances. Practicing prayer is living in constant dependence on Him. Giving thanks intentionally means recognizing that in every situation there is something about God to be grateful for. Gratitude is not just a feeling—it is a way of life that reflects trust in God and shines His grace to others.   Series description: Living With Gratitude is an invitation to experience the joy that comes from a thankful heart. In a culture that constantly pushes us to complain, compare, and want more, God offers a better way—a way marked by peace, contentment, and joy. In this series, we’ll discover how choosing gratitude changes how we see our lives, strengthens our faith, and helps us enjoy God’s blessings without taking them for granted. This is a journey toward a lighter heart, a clearer perspective, and a deeper appreciation for all God has done and continues to do.   Living with Gratitude How to stop complaining, break free from comparison, and reject discontentment.

    Having Enough (Living with Gratitude — Week 3)

    Pastor Chris Andrews (Associate Pastor) - ​​Philippians 1:20-21; 2:14-15; 4:11-13; Romans 12:2; 1 Timothy 6:6-10; Hebrews 13:5-6   We will explore what it truly means to live with biblical contentment. Walking through key passages in Philippians, we’ll see that contentment is learned—not natural—and that gratitude isn’t rooted in what we possess, but in who is with us. Paul’s words challenge us to stop complaining, stop comparing, and shine as lights in a crooked world. Whether in abundance or in need, we can live with peace because our strength comes from Christ. We’ll also confront the trap of materialism and be reminded of God’s promise to never leave or forsake His people. If Christ is with you, you have enough—and that truth reshapes how you live every day.   Series description: Living With Gratitude is an invitation to experience the joy that comes from a thankful heart.

    Hangry in the Wilderness (Living with Gratitude — Week 2)

    Pastor Chris Andrews (Associate Pastor) - ​​Exodus 16 (Exodus 16:1-4, 7-8, 13-18, 21 & 35; Proverbs 30:8-9; Lamentations 3:22-23; 2 Corinthians 12:9; Philippians 4:19; Matthew 6:9-11)   When life gets hard, it reveals what’s really in our hearts. In Exodus 16, Israel’s hunger exposed their complaining spirit—but the wilderness didn’t create ungrateful hearts, it revealed them. Even in their murmuring, God remained faithful. God is still good, even when life is hard. He provided manna daily—exactly what they needed, no more and no less—reminding us that His grace is sufficient and His mercies are new every morning. Gratitude in hardship is a declaration of trust. As we pray, “Give us this day our daily bread,” we choose to believe that God will faithfully supply all we need.   Series description: Living With Gratitude is an invitation to experience the joy that comes from a thankful heart.

    Missions 2026 :: Available - I Will Give

    Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Mark 16:15; John 12:32; Romans 1:16; 10:15; Matthew 6:19-21; 25:14 & 21; 28:19-20; Deuteronomy 8:17-18; Peter 1:3; Psalms 24:1; 50:10-12; Luke 9:23; 12:48; 1 Corinthians 4:2; 16:1-2; Philippians 4:19; 1 Timothy 5:8; John 3:16; 2 Corinthians 9:7   Here’s some good news: when it comes to life, church, family—everything—we can live with confidence knowing God has a plan. He isn’t caught off guard or scrambling to figure things out. God already has it all in His hands. His plans are purposeful, and they always accomplish what He intends. That’s true for missions and reaching the world as well. God has a plan for the mission, and He has a plan to fund the mission. We can trust Him completely—God makes no mistakes. Our role is simple: trust His plan and follow His lead. We walk by faith, step in obedience, and do what He has called us to do, confident that He will do what only He can do.   Missions 2026 ​We’re slowing down, opening our hands, and asking God how He wants to use us in His mission.   When Isaiah heard the Lord call, he responded, “Here am I. Send me.” That’s the heart of this month. We’re leaning into God’s mission with open hands and willing spirits—ready to pray, give, go, or take the next faithful step He places before us. When we make ourselves available, God uses ordinary people to reach others with the Gospel and do far more than we could imagine.   ​Make space in your heart, and come ready for God to speak. Let’s show up with open hands, praying, “Here am I, Lord. Send me.”     I Will Give!   I. The need is great II. God has a plan III. God funds His plan A. all that we have comes from God B. all that we have belongs to God C. we are managers of God's provision --- 1. we are to take care of our families --- 2. we are to support the local church --- 3. we are to support missions D. we are to give generously IV. God blesses faithful stewards
