How do we move forward as a church? as a Christian? We need to remove "pride" We need to remove "I" In this message, we will look at King Uzziah life and how pride became his downfall. Pride hurts you, it hurts your family, it hurts your relationship with God, it hurts your church.

It was unheard of! A Jew talking to a Samaritan...A man talking to woman (who had a bad reputation)...But Jesus chose to encounter this woman and make a difference in her life!

I love watching the Olympics! When I was younger some people thought I was crazy when I ran a marathon and 3 ultra marathons. Running has been such a big part of my life. When Paul writes his letter to the church of Corinth and compares the Christian life to a race, I totally get it! In this message, we will look at I Corinthians 9:24-27 and see what it takes to Run the Race as a Christian.

Brief Overview:

This morning we will see two major things happening in John 13: the Last Supper and Foot Washing. Also we will see that there were major conversations between Jesus and two of His disciples; Judas and Peter.

1. Serve
2. Love Others

Serve where you live!
Serve in your neighborhood!
Serve in your workplace or school!
Serve in your community!
Serve the world!

Love others like Jesus loved others!

This morning I’m not here to sugarcoat the Word of God. I’m not here to give you some prosperity message on how God will give you a brand new car if you believe and show all A’s on your Church Attendance report card! Christianity is not a special equation to get what you want! God is not a personal Atm Card! God does bless us and He never breaks His promises to us; but at the same time, Scripture is clear that we will suffer rejection from the world, we will look weird and might be referred to as Jesus Freaks...(Sunday Morning Message 2012)

The disciples get caught up with one little loaf of bread that they missed the point of Jesus' message. Be careful that you don't get caught up something that you miss what God has already done, is currently doing, and will do in the future! (Sunday Morning Message 2012)
