Kindness | When They Don’t Deserve It
How can you be kind to people you don’t get along with?Pastor Jon addresses this question in Part 3 of the Kindness Series through the stories of Joseph, Samuel, David and Jesus. Our main text is from Matthew 5:43 – 48.When we are showing kindness, we: 1. Speaks the Truth in love without breaking the spirit of the recipient. 2. Believes the best of others…without prejudice. 3. Prefers the honor of others before themselves. 4. Allows space for love, grace, forgiveness and acceptance to be proven by showing.Kindness: Showing others they are valuable by how you treat them. Luke 6:31 - 02/18/2018Kindness | Open Your Hands
Kindness | Open Your Hands
Our guest speaker, Dave Ogren from Great Commission Ministries, encourages the Church to realize God has called every person to ministry and He has gifted every person according to the ministry to which they're called. He teaches on a passage from Exodus, where God specifically anoints and skills several men for the work of building His tabernacle... down to the tiniest detail. The very place where God's glory is to dwell!Yes, God puts that much thought into each one of us and the work He has called us to do. - 02/02/2018Kindness | When We Don’t Deserve It
Kindness | When We Don’t Deserve ItDrawing from Titus 3:1 – 7, Pastor Jon kicks off this series on the fruit of Kindness.What does kindness look like? It usually doesn't mean giving everyone what they deserve! We show others they are valuable by how we treat them.Romans 2 says this...You didn’t think, did you, that just by pointing your finger at others you would distract God from seeing all your misdoings and from coming down on you hard? Or did you think that because he’s such a nice God, he’d let you off the hook? Better think this one through from the beginning. God is kind, but he’s not soft. In kindness he takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into a radical life-change.
- 01/28/2018Commitment | The Rock
Commitment | The Rock
How can we live for God? By placing our trust in Him. Pastor Jon takes a look at Matthew 16:13 – 20 and Mark 12:41 – 44He isn’t fully our Rock until we have given up all the sand of our lives.When we give up all the sand of life, that’s when we are able to fuse our foundation into the bedrock of Jesus. When He is our bedrock, the Storms of Life will blow and they’ll blow... the waves will crash and crash... and how terrible the storms will rage, but we still remain because our trust is in Him! - 01/21/2018Commitment | The Sand
Commitment | The SandWhat are the elements of building your life on the sand that's faulty and unstable?What are the elements of true repentance and turning things around?What does it take to surrender and relinquish control of our lives?Pastor Jon looks at these questions in the third installment on the topic of commitment.
- 01/14/2018Commitment | The Storm
Commitment | The StormThe storms of life will come... and the really rough ones are indeed more than we can handle- alone that is.Dealing with the matters of the heart is hard, but the only way to build real Godly character through a real relationship with Jesus. There are no quick fixes, short-cuts, or cure-allswhen it comes to building relationships with anyone let alone Jesus.Building relationship with Jesus in the place of the heart – where it really matters –establishes our lives as if we were built on solid bedrock.How and when do you pray to God? We call out to God as soon as the storm begins and place our trust in Him.
- 01/07/2018Commitment | The Foundation

Jesus is the only Foundation that stabilizes the Heart.Focusing on Matthew 7:13 – 29, Pastor Jon discusses how commitment is making a plan and putting it into practice.Then, practicing hearing what God says and doing it.

Generosity |When It’s Hard to Give
Generosity. Sometimes it's hard to give! Yet, God gave us Jesus. Certainly not what we expected or deserved.Today we take a look at 2 Samuel 9, and what happened between David and Mephibosheth.You could imagine Mephibosheth’s wonder at the kindness he was being shown. Likely, he was entirely overwhelmed, and David’s heart was remarkable full, and those watching this whole thing unfold were likely dumbfounded.Generosity: making someone’s day by giving something away.
