Christmas is a holiday that, according to statistics, makes 72% of the population cranky! Maybe that isn't quite true, but there are many things about the holiday season, and life in general, that cause many to feel inadequate, that their best efforts just aren't good enough. In this message, Pastor John explores three reasons why we can be hopeful that when our best isn't good enough, Jesus is enough.

Are you a bird dog or a life guard? Today Jesus, through the eyes of a blind beggar, will help us to see clearly our role as His disciples when we depend on Him to give us eyes to see the suffering of others.

Do you have blind spots? We all have physical blind spots, but we also have spiritual blind spots. Those blind spots can make others run off the road with us relationally. Jesus teaches us in Matthew 7:1-6 how to deal with spiritual blind spots. In these turbulent times, following His direction can help us be effective and not hurtful as we bring the gospel to others.

As we approach the 2016 election and life afterwards, followers of Christ may wonder what they should do. In this message, Pastor John looks at what the Bible says about Christian Citizenship in a world that has practically ruled Christ out of our lives.

In the history of the church there have been many instances of reform. In this message by Pastor John, we look at the first area of reform in the church - letting go of legalism - and discover three practices that will sustain us as reformers in the church and in our own lives.

As we prepare to enter the 500th year of the Reformation, we will spend two weekends looking at personal and corporate reformation within the church. In this message, we will look at how to do battle with sin that wages war against the soul.

Peter wrote to a suffering church, but not a joyless church. In this message, Pastor John looks at Peter's encouraging words to followers of Christ who are undergoing trials, and unearths ten surprises that are a reason for joy for suffering Christians.

For two thousand years, Christians have accepted ridicule and insults because of their connection to Jesus. In this message, Pastor John looks at a relevant passage of Scripture written to followers of Christ who were slandered to understand how to bless those who curse us in practical ways, with an outlook to share in a greater blessing and gain victory over slanderous words.

When we break the ties that bind us to our community, co-workers, and family, through faith in Jesus Christ and allegiance to Him, we end up with a new family, a new way to use our talents, and a new citizenship in Heaven. In this message, we will see how Peter says our connection to three community structures is transformed to bring God glory.

Christians sometimes come under fire for their devotion to the Bible as the Word of God. Where did the Bible come from and what is it for? In this message, we'll take an in-depth look at Peter's words to followers of Christ that show us the treasure that has been hidden, and revealed!
