With these lessons in mind, we move forward in our sermon series to discover the truth that life in Christ leads us to obedience to Him.

Bible Text: Luke 5:20, Luke 5:27-28, Luke 5: 30-32, Romans 3:23, Galatians 6:1 | Preacher: Pastor CJ Counts | Series: Who’s Your One? | Jesus loves sinners so much that he would go as far as to die for us. Sadly, for some reason, there are some saved sinners who feel like they are too good to keep company with people who sin differently then they do. In todays message, we will contrast the attitude of Jesus toward sinners with the attitude of the religious elite in the gospels.
Jesus is the reason
Bible Text: Luke 2: 6-7 | Preacher: Pastor CJ Counts | Series: Christmas Traditions | Many will say the trendy phrase “Jesus is the reason for the season”, and yet for so many still, there is a major disconnect between our life on Sunday mornings and Friday night. If we really believe that Jesus is the reason for the season, we must realize that Jesus is so much more then a Christmas tradition.
Christmas Tradition of going to church
Bible Text: Luke 4:16, John 15:12, Hebrews 10: 24-25, | Preacher: Pastor CJ Counts | Series: Christmas Traditions | There are many Americans who will include going to church as part of their annual Christmas tradition. For that we are grateful. But if Jesus is the reason for the season, and we really believe that, shouldn’t Jesus be worthy of so much more then a once per year worship gathering?
Family Traditions
Bible Text: Luke 8:21 | Preacher: Pastor CJ Counts | Series: Christmas Traditions | We are taking a look at the biblical precedent for many of our American Christmas traditions. As we do, we notice how many of them have become perverted from their original intentions, and we will seek ways as a church to redeem these fallen traditions in the strong name of Jesus Christ!
Gather Time

The church is not a religious organization. The church is a family we belong to. When we gather together to worship, we come expecting God to manifest His presence.
God Time
Bible Text: Mark 1:35, Luke 5:16 | Preacher: Pastor CJ Counts | Series: What We Are All About | We have spoken a lot lately about how important it is to grow deeper in our relationship with God, and by now you may be convinced. But how do you do this you may still ask? By spending time with Him. We will talk about what spending time with the Lord looks like, and give you some great tips for spending some great time alone with God.
Heart Like Gods
Bible Text: Luke 4:42-44, Matthew 24:14, Mark 1:35 | Preacher: Pastor CJ Counts | Series: What We Are All About | As we grow more mature in our relationship with Christ, our heart will long for the things God’s heart longs for more and more. The more God lives in us, the less attracted we become to the things that do not attract God, and the more passionate we become about the things that God is passionate about.
