God's Blueprints for Baptism

Text: Matthew 3:1-17

Without any context, the action of baptism can seem quite strange. It brings up many questions, confusions, misunderstandings, and in some cases, even hurt. However, as with most aspects of life, the issues can be easily resolved when we simply study God’s Word and seek to understand what He has said on the topic. In this message, we discover God’s blueprints for baptism and see how it applies to our lives today. We invite you to listen today to be encouraged, to reflect on your own baptism, or to consider whether this is the next step that God is calling you to take.

Jesus Brings Change

Text: 2 Corinthians 5:17

We live in a culture that is constantly changing. We experience changes in our environments, circumstances, and opportunities all around us. This doesn’t mean, though, that these things change us. They may pressure and burden us, but the only way that we can truly be changed is by what happens within us. In this message, we discover that only Jesus can bring true internal and eternal change to our hearts and lives. How is this possible? How can someone live their life one way for years and then suddenly be radically changed? This message answers these questions and more by pointing us to a powerful example of one who experienced such a change and by encouraging us to experience the same. We hope you will listen today and experience the change that only Jesus can bring!

As we do, we find that He equips and positions us strategically for His glory and purposes. If you want the Lord to further prepare you for His plans and purposes in your life, we invite you to listen today.

When the Church Prays: God Brings Innovation

Text: Acts 10:1-43

Most have never thought about the innovation that God often brings to accomplish His plans and purposes in our lives. It is true that He is unchanging in His nature, but the ways in which He works in and through our lives are often new and, at times, very unexpected. What should we do when God is doing something new in us? Why is He doing this new thing? What does it all mean? How should we respond? This message points us to two practical illustrations that help to answer these questions and more. We invite you to listen today and get ready for the new things He is about to do in you.
