God made us for Himself and to find our satisfaction in Him. But because of sin, our worship has been turned upside-down so that we pursue idols for our satisfaction and happiness. This is a common problem for us all. In this message, Pastor John shows from Scripture how God's presence is the greatest present of all.

The best example of authority is how our physical bodies respond to our head. In today’s message, we see how the body of Christ functions in relation to its head, Jesus. The D.N.A. that hold the body together is love expressed perfectly in the will of God. When the body operates by the authority of the body, the whole body is enriched by the grace of gifts God supplies.

In Today’s message we discuss how being in submission to God strengthens a family. A wife submitting to God shows the gospel to the world! A husband loving his wife unconditionally also shows the gospel to the world. Jesus shows us the way as He submits to the Father to save us all.

In Today’s message we look the importance of the authority of God. The direct authority of His word and the delegated authority that He gives - Authority to protect us and teach us to become obedient servants. His word says that obedience is better than sacrifice.

You and I will likely spend more time as a healthy older adult than any other season of life. Most of our culture is focused on the earlier seasons of life, and yet most of our time will be lived as “senior citizens.” Does it make sense to be prepared for it and understand it from a Biblical perspective? In this last message on the story of Joshua, Pastor John approaches our last navigation checkpoint: How can I make the most of all the years God will give me?

The essence of the gospel, the call and appeal of Joshua's words, “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD,” begins with what the LORD has already done for you! We don’t worship God so He will love us, but because He already does! Jesus doesn’t save you based on your works, but based on His finished work on the cross. The abilities and opportunities you have to love and serve God and others are not of your own making; they are a gift to you from the Holy Spirit. In this message, Pastor John reviews Joshua's challenge to the people of Israel and shows how they apply to us today.

The command to “be strong and courageous” surrounds the life and leadership of Joshua more than any other person in Scripture. The reality is, we all could benefit from courage. In this message, we'll look at our second navigation checkpoint: "How can I find courage to do the seemingly impossible?"

Joshua is a major player in the Biblical story, but first he was a minor character. The early part of Joshua's story illustrates the important principle that what we do when we are living in the shadows - when no one but God is looking - matters. In this message, Pastor John describes three points of alignment that we get from the time Joshua spent drawing near to the presence of God.

Do you ever wonder where God is? The truth is He is always present! We wear 3d glasses around that distort the fact of His presence in our lives. The 3d’s are disobedience, distractions, and deception by our enemy. Those things keep us from seeing the reality that God is present in our lives.
