Call Waiting: Activation

2012-01-08T17:55:00.001-05:00

Call Waiting… is a familiar part of our busy lives. Just like the many things clamoring for our time and focus God's call on our life is one to consider. The question is which call we will take. It is impossible for us to give everything the same precedence. As we begin a new year and contemplate how we will pursue and prioritize 2012 I want us to engage the reality that God has a call waiting for each of us and the reasons we should definitely take His call.

It's been said that "If it wasn't for people, for relationships, I'd have no trouble living the Christian life," but the truth is that the Christian life is all about relationships.

The third installment in a series on 1 Corinthians. 1 Corinthians gives the reader an untouched look at the church, with all of its blemishes and shortcomings, and God's call for them to live according to his wisdom rather than behaving like the world. Today the church faces the same challenges and would be wise to listen to Paul's advice to the church at Corinth on how to be in the world but not of the world.

Today the church faces the same challenges and would be wise to listen to Paul's advice to the church at Corinth on how to be in the world but not of the world.

Rewind - Giving is Worship

2010-11-07T23:27:00.000-05:00

Rewind - Unleashed
Pastor Val revisits highlights from a few of his sermon series from earlier in the year. According to the Bible giving is as much an act of worship as prayer, bible study, singing songs of praise or using our time and talents in ministry and yet it is not often regarded that way. Our approach to giving is often nonchalant and optional rather than significant and beneficial.

Our approach to giving is often nonchalant and optional rather than significant and beneficial. In this two part series we will attempt to understand giving as worship and the blessings and benefits of doing so.
