Don’t be a fair-weather Christian. Pastor David reminds us that Jesus would have died for us, even if we were the only one. · Our flesh is crazy! · We'll never be good enough. · But, God wants our commitment. Stick with it! Follow Jesus, go to church, and read His book. Be faithful and your feelings will follow.

Do you feel like you’ve been trampled on and your dreams are dead and buried? Pastor David reminds us that we are resilient and have the ability to spring back! · Be HAPPY right now and forever. · LIVE with vigor and optimism. · Major setbacks could just be a SETUP. The same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us! As long as we have a seed of faith… all things are possible!

Worry isn’t keeping us from living! Pastor David gives us the keys to control our minds and overcome negative thinking. * Mark 4:24 * Proverbs 14:30 * Philippians 4:8 * John 14:27 * 2 Corinthians 10:3-7 * Think about what you’re thinking about * We can’t have a positive life with a negative mindset * We’re following our faith, not our fears

Does your life sometimes feel incomplete… like there’s a GAP in your soul? God is the missing piece of the puzzle. If you’ve been served… maybe, it’s your turn to serve others. It’s time to use YOUR life to change a life. 1. We don’t HAVE to… we GET to! 2. Join a CONNECT Group. 3. Serve on a DREAM Team. 4. Help with MISSION Outreach Events You are never more like Jesus than when you serve others. Jesus saved you. But, having the right people around you will KEEP you saved!

Where you plant yourself makes a difference. We’re designed to do life together. Pastor David reminds us: * Offense isn’t the reason to leave * We’ll be blessed at the church we’re called to * We’re being equipped to do the work of the ministry * When we all do what we’re called to do, we’re able to do even more * We can be committed to something of significance It’s not just a church - it’s a family. There’s a church home waiting for you.

There are people everywhere who have a hole in their soul and need God. How can we share the Gospel? Pastor David teaches us to show compassion for people by simply listening to their stories… and then, sharing ours. · Do you still pray for people? · Are you texting encouragement to your friends? · When was the last time you invited someone to church? Is fear keeping you from sharing your faith? It’s time to make sinners your specialty! Don't judge… just LOVE! In the end, it’s the “long game” that counts!

God wants us all to have healthy relationships. But, having FAITH doesn’t automatically eliminate the friction. Pastors Austin and Morgan Schuler want to know… “What relationship baggage are we bringing with us?” · Anger, insecurity, jealousy? · Past hurt, abuse, fear of failure? · Unresolved trust issues? Stop running away from your family drama. Learn to UNPACK it, LEAVE it, and start FRESH! You may not have come from a good family, but a good family can still come from YOU!

In every relationship, couples are bound to fight. A little conflict can be good. Just remember that you’re on the same team. Pastor David and Nicole want to be the coaches in your corner. · Stop trying to change each other. · Offenses are going to come. · Patience is the key. Don’t put your happiness in someone else’s hands. If you want to improve your relationship, start by changing yourself. It’s not important what you fight about… but what you’re fighting for!
