"God Opposes the Proud"

Have you ever told God "No"? Have you ever ignored God's prompting in your life? Have you ever known what direction or action God is calling you to take... but gone the opposite way or flat out refused to obey?

You probably have. We all at some point have. Maybe you are well versed in telling God "no"... maybe not. But think about it like this... Who am I, to think that I am RIGHT and God is WRONG? Who am I, to tell God "no"? 

What is it that has to be in me... in order to think I can puff up my chest and brazenly challenge the Creator of the universe, the Almighty God... the Great I Am? It's PRIDE. 

Our passage today in James says that God OPPOSES the proud. So when I allow pride in my life... I am flirting with disaster as I find myself on the losing end of the field... with God as my opponent. There's an opponent you do NOT want. There is a fight you cannot win. Listen to today's message and see how you can replace this sin called pride with the antidote... called humility. (Yes, God opposes the proud... but He gives GRACE to the humble!)

"Where Do I Start?"

We are in this series called "The Anatomy of a Disciple". Through the course of the next few weeks, we will be talking about what it looks like to be a Disciple of Jesus. It's a journey. It's a life long process. So I need to ask myself...

"Where Do I Start?"

Listen to this weeks message as Pastor Kamron asks us to pretend we all start out as a broke down, messed up... hoopty of a truck. And he says Jesus is the greatest mechanic in the world. And WE have to let HIM do the work on us. Will you trust Jesus to work on you? 

Listen and find out for yourself, where you should start...

"He Chose Me"

If you look at your life today, who would you say are some of the biggest influencers in your life? People that you looked up to or took advice from and it reflects in who you are today. Much of it was probably good influence... maybe some were a bad influence.

But the biggest question is... who is your main influence TODAY in your life?

As we start our new series today, Pastor Kamron makes a case for putting Jesus in that place. Making Jesus your #1 influence in your life. If you truly want to be a disciple of Jesus, this can't be an optional decision. It is actually required.

"Risen"

Is there anything in your life that you are personally struggling with today? Do you have some issue that won't go away? Many of us do!

This week, Easter Sunday... we celebrate the empty tomb of Jesus. We celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus! That happened. He's alive. We are saved because of it!

But if Jesus can be RAISED back to life. And in this message, Pastor Kamron talks about Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead too. But if God has THAT kind of power, to raise someone from death to life... what can He do with YOUR situation you are dealing with today? Would you believe that Jesus can resurrect your bad situation back to life? He can, and He will...

"Much, much... MORE"

What does Jesus look like to you? When you think of Jesus, do you imagine Him hanging out in the clouds or seated on His throne in Heaven? When you think of Jesus... what's that look like?

Like the picture of the Grand Canyon doesn't do it justice... (Until you see it with your own eyes, you just can't fathom the size of it.), likewise... we have a very limited view of Jesus. Our personal "view" of Jesus is limited and He is SO much more! 

Today, Pastor Kamron challenges us to come to grips with Jesus being "Much, much... MORE" than we can ever imagine. And the reality is, the closer you get to God, the bigger you realize He is. Listen to this week's message and see if you need to adjust your perspective of Jesus in your life.

"God Designed us for Community"

Today's message is two-fold. First, Pastor Kamron talks about our need to become disciples of Jesus who actually "Go and make disciples" as Jesus commanded. This is a preview of our upcoming series starting after Easter on April 3rd. We are going to learn how to be DISCIPLES of Jesus!

But today is also Community Life Group Sunday. That means we are putting all new Life Groups together to start on April 3rd as well. Today's message is secondly about our need for community as Believers in Christ. God designed us for community. 

If you were not in service today and would like to join a Life Group... please contact Pastor Kamron and he will gladly get you connected with one. It's not too late... they don't start until April. Join one today!

"Sing to the Lord"

Our Worship Leader, Becky Cope, shares with us today a message about worship. Now worship is pretty much anything we do to glorify the Lord, right? But more specifically, the worship Becky is talking today is the “singing” act of worship.

The question you need to answer is this. “Am I genuinely singing to the Lord?” Do you find it necessary? Is it just when you “feel” like singing that singing is needed? Is worshiping God in song even Biblical?

Listen to today’s message and find out for yourself. Let’s sing to the Lord a new song! J
