06/21/2009 Scriptural Directives for Fathers Joel Mathai Ephesians 6:1-4
Notes Slides Series: AdditionalSermons
The world today is pulling at our kids - and pulling hard. Children need the help of parents even though they may not ask for it. The primary responsibility for proper parenting falls upon the father as leader in the home. The biblical task of the father is to nurture his children, teaching them to love and obey God. Children are a serious responsibility. At the very beginning of history when God created this world he proclaimed that - it is not good for man to be alone, and thru Adam he created the institution of family. Families are the soul of a nation. In our own nation many fathers have forsaken their God-given responsibilities to their children.

06/07/2009 The World's Most Powerful Muscle Brad Evans  
Notes Slides Series: Wisdom_Literature
The world's most powerful muscle is not our bicep or quadricep. Instead, it is a little two-ounce mass of skeletal muscle covered by a mucous membrane...otherwise known as the "tongue." This amazing muscle has the power to build up or crush someone's spirit; to sing a baby to sleep or to split a church; to bless or curse God...the choice is mine.
05/31/2009 Magical Myth or Historical Happening? Trey Corry Matthew 8:23-28

05/31/2009 The Art of Skillful Living Brad Evans Proverbs 1:1-7
Notes Slides Series: Wisdom_Literature
This summer we have selected messages from 'Wisdom Literature' (Job, selected Psalms, and the writings of Solomon). In Proverbs, Solomon is writing a 'parenting manual' that contains God's wisdom and is intended to be intentionally passed on to the next generation of leaders. Solomon also reminds us that the foundation or beginning point of wisdom is our world view. 'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom' (Prov. 9:10). The wise maxims that Solomon writes to us reveal two paths in life: 1) The world's path that leads to death (Prov. 16:25); and God's path that leads to life and blessing (Prov. 24:3-4).

05/17/2009 The Duty of Joy Brian Fisher Philippians 4:4-9
Notes Slides Series: Philippians
Joy is not merely the result of certain actions or attitudes. Joy is a command. Joy is duty. So then, how do we obey this command? By finding our joy in the Lord. Do not be deceived by our adversary. Any attempt to find joy in anything other than Jesus Christ will result in fear, anxiety and frustration. True joy, joy that transcends all earthly circumstances, can only be found in Him.

05/10/2009 Pathway to Peace Blake Jennings Philippians 4:4-9
Notes Slides Series: Philippians
Stress, anxiety, worry... these are often our companions in this hectic world. But while we can't eliminate stress from our lives, we can learn to manage it well; to reduce and gradually replace it with the supernatural peace of God. In this passage, Paul gives us a four-step pathway to God's peace: show others grace, practice thankful prayer, discipline your thought-life, and practice obedience to Christ.
05/10/2009 Trained to Worship Brian Fisher Hebrews 13:15-16

Notes Slides Series: 1Peter
In 1 Peter 5:8-15, Peter addresses the identity and schemes of the believer's adversary, the Devil. Knowing the Devil's goal and schemes enables the believer to know how to resist him even in the midst of persecution.
05/03/2009 Resisting the Enemy Matt Morton 1 Peter 5:8-14
Notes Slides Series: 1Peter
God's enemy the devil seeks to destroy us and render us ineffective in God's service. We can resist him through dependence upon God, solidarity with the body of Christ, and an eternal perspective.
05/03/2009 The Value of Money Blake Jennings Philippians 4:10-23
Notes Slides Series: Philippians
Few things have as much impact on our lives as money. That's a reality God understands well. He cares deeply about our money and about how we use it, because what we do with our money demonstrates what we truly love and value most in life. So in this final passage of Philippians, a thank-you letter from Paul for the Philippians' recent financial gift, God reveals to us both the power and limitations of our money. Our money can accomplish great things in our lives and in the lives of others if we will only use it wisely.
05/03/2009 Learning the Mystery of Contentment Brian Fisher Philippians 4:10-23
Notes Slides Series: Philippians
Contentment... in any and every circumstance, in plenty and in want...is a rare achievement. The only ones who find it are those who put Christ at the very center of life. If pursuing Him and proclaiming His greatness is your reason for living, nothing can touch you. And then, when you stand in His presence some day, you will know the joy of hearing Him say 'Well done,' in the company of those who have chosen to live for Christ above all else.
04/26/2009 Leadership in Focus Trey Corry 1 Peter 5:1-7
Notes Slides Series: 1Peter
In Peter 5:1-7, Peter transitions from the theme of suffering to the kind of leadership that will guide the church through suffering and difficulty. Specifically, he addresses the leader's proper place, purpose, power, and preparations.
04/26/2009 Christ-Like Leadership Matt Morton 1 Peter 5:1-7
Notes Slides Series: 1Peter
Leaders in the body of Christ are called to be examples of the character of Christ in humility as they lead the flock under their care.
04/26/2009 Can't we all just get along? Reducing and Resolving Conflict Blake Jennings Philippians 4:2-3
Notes Slides Series: Philippians
Conflict comes naturally to the human race. Whether in our marriages, with our parents, with friends, neighbors, or coworkers, we frequently find ourselves in conflict with others. And that conflict always causes pain and stress. So how do we avoid conflict with others? And when conflict does occur, how do we resolve it quickly and as painlessly as possible? In this short but rich passage Paul lays out seven principles for reducing and resolving conflict; principles that will help us find greater peace with one another and greater effectiveness in this life for the Lord.
04/26/2009 Reconciled... For the Sake of Christ Brian Fisher Philippians 4:1-3
Notes Slides Series: Philippians
Reconciliation is what God is all about. When His people fail to resolve conflict, the world will not see Jesus. Rather than being known as followers of Christ by our love, we will look just like everyone else. However, when we forgive and restore our relationships, we are personally blessed, and those who are alienated from God receive a beautiful picture of the forgiveness that all can receive through Christ. Therefore...forgive one another, stop demanding payment, live for the reputation of Christ and not the defense of your own rights!
04/19/2009 Life Under the Lamp of Judgment Trey Corry 1 Peter 4:1-11
Notes Slides Series: 1Peter
The call to suffer necessitates a radical redirection of our lives both within the world and within the community of believers.
04/19/2009 Refining Fire Matt Morton 1 Peter 4:12-19
Notes Slides Series: 1Peter
We can respond to suffering with joy, integrity, and faith, because we know that suffering well leads to eternal reward, strength of character, and identification with Jesus Christ.
04/19/2009 To Know Christ is Life, The Rest is Just Details Blake Jennings Philippians 3:2-16
Notes Slides Series: Philippians
Jesus Christ is everything to us. Our spiritual life begins when we receive the gift of righteousness through faith in Christ. It then grows and expands as we pursue Christ in an ever-deepening, personal relationship. As we come to know Jesus more fully we experience more of His blessings, learn to rest in His peace, become more like Him in every way, and earn reward when we finally see Him face-to-face. Knowing Jesus more is the great goal of life, but it requires us to set aside our distractions, our regret from the past, and our constant tendency to coast on our present progress. So let us encourage one another to press on to know Jesus more.
04/19/2009 To Know Christ is Life Brian Fisher Philippians 3:10-16
Notes Slides Series: Philippians
Because we have received the absolutely free gift of Christ's righteousness, we have also received the privilege of knowing Him in an ever-deepening, personal relationship. As we identify fully with Jesus Christ in every way, including suffering for the sake of His name, we come to know the power of His resurrection in our daily lives. This is the great goal of life - to know Jesus Christ fully as we have been fully known. It will require all of our focus and all of our energy. We will experience distractions from lesser goals, regret from the past, and a variety of temptations to quit. Never give up. Press on to know Jesus.
04/12/2009 Easter, are you missing it? Blake Jennings Philippians 2:5-11, 3:4-9
Notes   Series: Philippians
So many of us miss the point of Easter, the most significant weekend of the entire year. On this date some 2000 years ago, Jesus, the perfect Son of God and our Almighty Creator willingly suffered humiliation and death on a crucifix to pay the penalty for our sins, and then three days later triumphantly rose from the dead in victory. Because of what Jesus did on that first Easter we can finally stop striving to earn our way to God, to merit His love, and can simply cling to Christ in faith knowing that His death and resurrection have earned us infinite righteousness and eternal life.
04/12/2009 The Real Thing Brian Fisher Philippians 3:1-9
Notes Slides Series: Philippians
The simple message of Easter is always under assault... from the secularized version of bunnies and eggs that trivializes the powerful message of death, burial and resurrection, to the religionized version that adds human contribution to the finished work of Christ. Beware - Satan has always been, and will always be, at work to take our minds away from an empty cross and an empty tomb... Christ triumphant and exalted.
04/05/2009 Out with the Old, In with the New Matt Morton 1 Peter 4:1-11
Notes Slides Series: 1Peter
Make a clean break from the world’s way of living and embrace the life of love and service in Jesus Christ.
