For the most part people view Christianity as a system that makes people more moral, more decent, better neighbors, healthier, possibly wealthier and that the point of the Christian life is to try really hard to be moral.  Today's message argues that the battle in life has far less to do with how to be moral and far more about what our hearts delight in.  Today's message is titled A Battle Worth Fighting and it is based on Luke 3 and Luke 4. 

Here is the audio from our Sunday service, delivered by Ryan Snow. The title for today's message is The World You Actually Live In and it is based on Luke 4:1-13.  Some of the audio was cut out due to a technical difficulty - sorry.

Here are a few recommended resources based on today's message:

Luke's gospel highlights the ministry and preaching of John the Baptist. John came to “prepare the way” for the coming King. How do we prepare for the King? How do we live life in such a way that we are living in eager expectation of the King? Do I read inspirational books, stories, and biographies? Do I busy myself and work really hard to adjust my life to show I am worthy of His arrival? Or do I need a deeper work done in my heart? I need to live in repentance. This is actually very good news.

Here is the audio to the message from our Sunday service, delivered by Ryan Snow.  Human beings can produce and manufacture just about anything.  Peace with God, peace with others, and peace with ourselves is something we cannot manufacture in spite of our endless efforts.  Today's message is titled The Presence of the Future.  In this message, we see that Jesus came to bring the reality of His kingdom into our present existence.  The first twelve minutes of this message were not recorded... Sorry for the technical difficulties.

Here is the audio from our Sunday service, delivered by Mike O'Shea.  How do you respond when you hear God speak?  How do you respond when God's word is taught to you?  Today's message is a great message about how we receive God's word.  It is a message about how our life can radically change when we trust God and live a life of responding to Him in faith.  Today's message is based on Luke 1:26-80, and is titled, The Immaculate Reception.

Here is the audio from our Sunday service, delivered by Ryan Snow.  There are few things that are more agonizing than waiting.  Most of us have or are experiencing this agony in some area of our lives.  This week we began a series in the Gospel of Luke and Luke's gospel begins with the amazing stories of the birth of John the Baptist and the birth of Jesus.  Today's message is titled: What Does God Have to Do With Christmas?  It is based on Luke 1:1-25.

Here is the audio from our Sunday message, delivered by Ryan Snow.  Fear sets the limits for the life we will live.  The God of the Bible assumes that we will encounter fear often and invites us to live a life that requires us to live by faith and not by sight.  Today's message is the final message in our series - The Questions That Everyone Asks.  The title of this message is - Must I Be Paralyzed by Fear?

Here is the audio from our Sunday service, delivered by Ryan Snow.  We have been doing a series titled, The Questions That Everyone Asks, and today we asked the question - What Difference Does Jesus Make?  For many people, they see the church as a group of angry, self-righteous, and insecure people.  Today's teaching looks at Galatians 2 and how the gospel is radically different than religion or irrelgion. 

Here is the audio from our Sunday service, delivered by Ryan Snow.  For many people an obstacle to faith in Jesus surrounds the reliability, accuracy, and trustworthiness of the Bible.  Today's message challenges us to approach the Bible with humility, honesty, and a hunger for God. 

Here is the audio from our Sunday service, delivered by Mike O'Shea.  Faith and Science... Can we reconcile the relationship between these two?  Today's message looks to answer the question - How Can I Believe in God When Science Has Disproved His Existence?  This is an excellent teaching on how to handle these tough questions with humility, honesty, and an open mind. 

Here are three books that would be great supplements to today's teaching:
