One of the most beautiful parts of Ruth's journey to God is in her introduction to, revelation of and intervention by her kinsman/redeemer. We watch in the story as her past seems to make sense as it pushes her closer to God's design and intention for her life. Make no mistake, it wasn't through her design, effort, or manipulation, but beautifully revealed through the strong arm of Boaz.

Ruth's journey in so many ways mirrors ours. From pagan to righteous, from rejected to accepted, from darkness to light. But her journey in God was not without pain and proving.

In this message, we examine how grace was operating in the life of Ruth. Both knowingly and unknowingly, visible and invisible. In fact it is a beautiful type of how everything good and divine reaches our life...by grace.

How do we remain steadfast in the Lord in the middle of a culture that is evil and constantly growing more evil? Join us as we look into the life of Elijah were in there was in the solitude of Gilead that Elijah had communed with Jehovah and had been trained by Him for this great journey: there he had "waited" upon the Lord, and there had he obtained "strength" for his task.

We have all had those moments where life does not turn out the way we hoped or expected. The liminal space in our lives that separates where we are from where God has purposed for us becomes the pivotal point of our lives. As we look into the life of Elijah and listen to the tender voice of God that speaks to us gently leading us into His path.

This sermon examines Ruth's journey of faith from Paganism to Judaism and is a perfect type of all of us who are Gentiles and how we are engrafted into the lineage and person of Jesus Christ.

In this message, we examine Naomi as a type of the believer who spends time, maybe years away from God's house, God's people, and God's presence only to find that all that was out there and promised was only a mirage, and that God by His Spirit is turning her heart back home.

This series unfolds many beautiful and reoccurring dynamics found in our redemption and reconciliation back to God and our journeying with Him as believers.

In a crazy world, where we only have one life, why choose Jesus regarding that one life and eternity?

Our greatest pursuit in life should be to seek the pleasure of God. We cannot do this apart from faith. Our greatest joy can only be found as we experience the pleasure of God. Everything you've ever wanted, every desire, the thing you long for most is found in the pleasure of God. Join us as we take a look at faith and how Jairus' faith, birthed out of desperation, is a display of the life Christ is calling us into as disciples. To be people full of faith delighting in the pleasure of God.

We continue our series on what God expects of the believer and what the true believers in Christ should expect in and from the world in the days right before his appearing for the church and coming tribulation period that will come upon the world. Sexual immorality has given way to deviance and depravity, and sadly sweeping away many who name the name of Christ. Having been deceived by Satanic powers, those who practice sexual sin feel that they are exempt from God's word and excluded from his judgment. Join us today as we examine ourselves in the light of God's word making sure that we are not practicing the sins, behaviors, and living out of the mindset that God clearly declares "shall not inherit the kingdom of God". (Ephesians 5:3) "But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you...as becometh saints"

Winds are blowing not only across our nation, but across the world. Violent winds, relentless winds, cross winds, and destructive winds. Winds that are blowing people off of foundations that have stood for centuries. But as believers we are to stand fast against the winds and remember that we are called to be Christ's ambassadors, His voice, the light of the world and true north for every living compass. Praying that this will be a clarifying, empowering, and encouraging word to every believer that wants to not only finish strong, but to FINISH RIGHT.

There are many things in the life of a believer that work to disqualify you from God's presence a well as God's mission. Too many times we can allow these things to define us. Today, we will take a look at how the Gospel not only restores value to us as believers but sets us into the mission of Christ.

In the life of every believer you will experience times where there is an unmistakable gap between when you call out to God and when he answers, between when you start looking for him and he shows up, between what he has promised and the fulfillment of those promises. The issue for us in these times is not to have our questions answered, but an assurance that our prayers are heard. I believe this may very well be one of those Sundays where God's word finds us right where we are and we are eyewitnesses to his glory, in our life (both internally and externally).

In Matthew 22 Jesus informed the Saducees that the cause of their confustion, the path that led them away from the truth and the hindrance of them drawing closer and having fellowship with Christ was their ignorance of the word of God, and their minimalist view of God. So it is with us today; much if not all of what makes us anxious, confuses us, hinders and overwhelms us is that we aren't governed by His truth and we are not resting secure in His power.

Part 1 of our Storm Chaser series: We live in a broken and fallen world all around us. We see he effects of sin on our society, our nation, our town, and even in ourselves. We take a look at the work of Faith in the believers life, how we are brought from death into light and called unto His purpose.

I don't know a man or a father that is not weary. We are weary of the weight and responsibility that is our lot. We are weary of the breaking down of our physical bodies and the pain that accompanies it. We are weary of the societal decline in standards, definitions, the flood of perversion and immorality, the evil that is presented as good, and the deception that cannot be reasoned with. We are weary of the carnality, lukewarmness and apostasy of the church, its ministers, and its people. We are weary of humanism, liberalism, relativism, fake news, and leftist propaganda. We are weary from our disappointment, disillusionment, what has happened behind us, and what we see right in front of us, what seems to be inevitable in the future. We are weary from the strain of leading, covering, protecting, and continuously redirecting and reeducating our family and all whom God has given us influence over. The source of this weariness for those of us who are born from above is the powers of hell that are set in
