"Work It!"


Do you ever FAIL in life? If we are being honest we all must answer, "yes". It's part of life. Especially when your talking about our walk with Jesus... we fail. 

"But it's what we DO with that failure that will define our lives... not the failure itself, but the RESPONSE to that failure."

Listen to today's message as Pastor Kamron shares the answer to failure, repentance. He shares the reality that we are ALL "working out" our salvation according to today's Bible verse. And the biggest failure in our lives is not failing, it's QUITTING when we fail. Don't quit. Go to Jesus. He's waiting to forgive you right now.

"My Life/The Good News"


The things we experience and get excited about are the things we will passionately share with our friends and our family. If you have an amazing weekend and something really special happened, maybe you met a really famous person... on Monday you are going to share it right away with your co-workers or fellow students at school. We will tell everyone about "experiences" that are noteworthy and exciting. 

If that is true, then what keeps us from sharing Jesus with everyone we know? Why do we seem to limit our discussions of what should be the focus of our lives? (Are we "experiencing" Jesus daily?)

Maybe, as Pastor Kamron shares in today's message... maybe we are failing to "experience" all God has to offer us. Maybe we are failing to recognize Jesus is alive and present in our life today! Listen and see if this is something you need to pray about in YOUR life too.

"God's STILL Amazing"


Pastor Kamron saw the "Ore Dock" shown in the picture recently for the first time in Marquette, MI. It's a neat part of history even though today it sits abandoned and unused. Funny how we tend to relegate once coveted and necessary things to the history books.

But one thing we can't afford to do that with is God. We can't look at the Bible and think "Wow, God WAS so powerful and amazing back then..." Today's main passage is Hebrews 13:8 (NLT) which says:

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."

We know that. We claim that. We repeat that... but do we LIVE that? Do we believe Jesus is just as powerful in our lives today as He was a few thousand years ago as we read in the Bible? We should. We must. The world around us doesn't need a history lesson. They need to see that Jesus is alive and moving in us today. Let's introduce them to Jesus.

"Holy Stankiness"


Is there a Biblical "stankiness" that we as Christians are called to smell like? Sort of. According to the apostle Paul, we are to have the aroma of Christ. And to some... this aroma brings REALITY to the forefront.

The reality for many is their own fate of "death and doom".

Listen to today's message as Pastor Kamron shares the promise of Victory that Christians have but also the call to Holy Stankiness that we must embrace as the reality the world needs to smell!

"reSTART"


In the picture here you will notice two common items. A drinking straw and a drywall screw. Unfortunately... they both have some form of a flaw that equates to them being unusable as they were originally intended. (The straw is sealed on one end and the screw has no threads.)

Listen to today's message as Pastor Kamron shares how WE too can find ourselves in the place of being unusable by God when we wander from the Will of God. Like Jonah (today's passage), you will find yourself in a place of needing to make a choice. Hopefully you won't have to make this choice in the belly of a whale.

The choice is simple. Remain "away" from God and suffer the consequences of that choice. OR... repent, receive God's Grace and Forgiveness... and simply, reSTART.

The choice is yours.

"It's HIS Plan"


Today is a tough message because Pastor Kamron shares with the church that Pastor Ryan and Kristin are moving. We have enjoyed their ministry along side us over this past 5 months. Sometimes when God has a new plan... our instant reaction is WHY? But as you will hear in today's message, the "why" isn't what's important.

Because God's Plan... is better!

We must find obedience and faith in God to simply take the next step directed by the Lord. Even if it doesn't make sense. Even if we don't understand. Because it's not MY plan... "It's HIS Plan".

"Refocus"


Have you ever looked back on your life and realized you changed... without even knowing it? Have you ever done that with your relationship with Jesus? 

Today, Pastor Kamron shares some personal conviction that he believes is true for his own life as well as the church. We need to refocus. We need to place Jesus once more at the top of our list of priorities in our lives. Complacency has set in and it's not welcome. 

Listen to this week's message where we look at the need to refocus on Jesus through the filter of Psalm 27. Then we look at Epaphras, a prayer warrior in the New Testament that we need to become like, as Believers in Jesus. Let's do this!
