Mon, 19 Aug 2024 10:00:00 -0500

8.11.2024 - Every Member a Minister

Sun, 11 Aug 2024 12:00:00 -0500

Wade speaks from Ephesians 4 to challenge us, as members of the Body of Christ, to embrace our role as ministers.

8.4.2024 - Christian or Disciple?

Sun, 04 Aug 2024 21:00:00 -0500

Ideally, there should be no distinction between a Christian and a disciple of Christ, but in our culture there often is. Building on this unfortunate distinction, we'll explore why inspiring more Christians to become disciples of Christ is one of our church's top priorities.

7.28.2024 - Embrace Your Limitations

Sun, 28 Jul 2024 12:00:00 -0500

In Exodus 18, Jethro, Moses's father-in-law. gives him some much needed advice. Which Moses wisely heeds. This week we'll explore how Jethro's ancient advice still speaks to us today, and why embracing our limitations is essential to our flourishing.

7.21.2024 - Even When It Hurts

Sun, 21 Jul 2024 12:00:00 -0500

This week Wade will follow the thread of "Covenant" through the Scriptures. Understanding the way the ancient covenants worked not not only helps us better understand the Biblical story, but also why being in relationship with a covenant-making God is such good news.

7.14.2024 - How Can We But Celebrate?

Sun, 14 Jul 2024 15:00:00 -0500

Our Guest Speaker Summer Series continues, with a well known "Guest Speaker", our Next Steps Minister Wes Rasbury focus on celebrating the stories of members of Greenville Oaks.

7.7.2024 - Summer Speaker Series - Mike Cope

Mon, 08 Jul 2024 16:00:00 -0500

We continue the summer speaker series with Guest Speaker: Mike Cope.

6.30.2024 - Our Church Mission

Sun, 30 Jun 2024 23:00:00 -0500

Executive Minister Matt Mazza discusses various ministries of Greenville Oaks and mission trip that is taking place this summer.

6.23.24 - Greater Than Solomon

Sun, 23 Jun 2024 21:00:00 -0500

We begin our Greenville Oaks Summer Speaker Series with guest speaker Jonathan Storment from Pleasant Valley Church of Christ in Little Rock, AR with a message called "Greater Than Solomon".

6.16.2024 - Imagination

Sun, 16 Jun 2024 21:00:00 -0500

In Jonah 4, we finally learn the reason for Jonah's initial flight from God. Turns out he wasn’t afraid of what the Ninevites might to do him. He was, instead, afraid of what God might do for the Ninevites.

6.9.2024 - A Quick Turnaround

Mon, 10 Jun 2024 22:00:00 -0500

The story of Jonah has been described as a work of comedy or ironic satire. Jonah 3 contains a few comically absurd details. Out of the absurdity comes some very good news about God.

6.2.2024 - In the Belly

Sun, 02 Jun 2024 11:00:00 -0500

What would you pray if you were stuck in the belly of a great fish? The answer seems obvious, right? Which is why Jonah's prayer is so surprising.

5.26.24 - Accidental Missionary

Wed, 29 May 2024 19:00:00 -0500

Just about everyone can tell you the story of Jonah is about a man who gets swallowed by a fish. While the fish makes for a great VBS skit, it's not the most important part of the story. If anything, the fish has distracted us from the deeper message of Jonah. A message which makes Jonah one of the most subversive books in the Bible.

5.19.2024 - Getting Well

Sun, 19 May 2024 18:00:00 -0500

Wade focuses on the elements within society that are contributing toward diminished mental health. How do we fight these factors?

5.12.2024 - Thinking

Sun, 12 May 2024 17:00:00 -0500

Of all the many different factors impacting our mental health, our patterns and habits of thought is one of the most important. This is why it is essential, though not always easy, to think about the way we think.

5.5.2024 - Senior Sunday 2024

Sun, 05 May 2024 22:00:00 -0500

Student Minister Zach Silva speaks to the Senior Class of 2024, encouraging them as they step into their next big season of life. He also presents ways that the church community can help support them as they move forward.

4.28.2024 - Meaning

Sun, 28 Apr 2024 22:00:00 -0500

One way God helps us through our mental health challenges is by giving our lives a sense of meaning and purpose, which are not only essential to good mental health, but also to persevering through hard times.

4.21.2024 - Embodied

Sun, 21 Apr 2024 14:00:00 -0500

Conversations about mental health can easily veer into extremes. One extreme, sometimes heard in Christian circles, is that mental health is exclusively a spiritual issue. Another extreme, often in response to the first, is that mental health is exclusively a biological or medical issue. This week we’ll attempt to navigate between these two extremes by considering what it means to be embodied souls.

4.14.2024 - Between

Sun, 14 Apr 2024 21:00:00 -0500

If the saying, “Unclarified expectations are premeditated disappointments,” is true, then it is vitally important to clarify our expectations of what it means to be followers of Jesus who experience all sorts of challenges, including mental health challenges, on our journey through life.

4.7.2024 - Okay

Mon, 08 Apr 2024 14:00:00 -0500

Join us for the first message in our new series on mental health. In this series, Wade will push back against the myth that being a Christian protects us from or provides an instant cure for mental health problems. He’ll focus, instead, on ways our Christian faith supports us when we experience mental health challenges.

3.31.2024 - Back to the Start

Tue, 02 Apr 2024 10:00:00 -0500

The Gospel of Mark ends with a surprise. No, not the resurrection of Jesus, but rather the way the women at the empty tomb respond to it.

3.24.2024 - The Kings Ransom

Mon, 25 Mar 2024 04:00:00 -0500

Ancient kings typically established their kingdoms by defeating their enemies, not by letting their enemies defeat them. What kind of king is Jesus? And what difference does it make in our lives?

3.17.2024 - An Old Story, Retold

Sun, 17 Mar 2024 22:00:00 -0500

As one of my favorite writers likes to say, “When Jesus wanted to explain the meaning of his death, he didn't give his disciples a theory. He gave them a meal.” Likewise, whenever we eat this meal, we retell an old story given new meaning by Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection.

3.10.2024 - Power Under

Sun, 10 Mar 2024 23:00:00 -0500

When James and John ask Jesus for powerful positions in his Kingdom, he teaches them a philosophy of power unlike anything the world has ever seen.

3.3.2024 - Listen to Him

Sun, 03 Mar 2024 20:00:00 -0600

Jesus calls his disciples to embrace a paradoxical philosophy of life and death that initially seems like nonsense. But once we begin to listen to Jesus and put his teachings into practice, we discover he is actually the wisest person who ever lived.

2.25.2024 - The Head at the Table

Sun, 25 Feb 2024 15:00:00 -0600

Almost every scene in the Gospel of Mark focuses on Jesus. One exception is the story of John the Baptist's death in Mark 6. This week we’ll explore how this story serves as a warning to Mark’s original readers and to us.

The Heart of Darkness

Sun, 18 Feb 2024 22:00:00 -0600

Mark 5 includes a detailed story about a man tormented by unclean spirits. His encounter with Jesus reveals both the work evil aims to do in the world and Jesus’s power to overcome it. The challenge when reading this story today is to correctly locate ourselves within it.

2.11.2024 - The Rhythm of Jesus' Life

Sun, 11 Feb 2024 19:00:00 -0600

Guest speaker Dan Bouchelle presents a message called "The Rhythm of Jesus' Life".

2.4.2024 - Keep Digging

Sun, 04 Feb 2024 20:00:00 -0600

Mark includes very little of Jesus’s actual teaching in his gospel. The teachings he does include usually generate more questions than answers, which seems to be Jesus’s intention. Sometimes clarify is overrated.

1.28.2024 - A Crack In Everything

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 14:00:00 -0600

In Mark 3 Jesus goes up on a mountain and calls twelve disciples to him for a special purpose. The list of names of those he called is pregnant with gospel and helps us understand what the “ideal” church might look like.

1.21.2024 - A Day In the Life

Sun, 21 Jan 2024 16:00:00 -0600

Early in his ministry Jesus enjoys tremendous success. As his popularity grows, so does the danger of having his ministry hijacked by others. This Sunday we’ll explore a sequence from Mark 1 in which Jesus shows us how to stay focused and on mission when others are tempting us with a competing agenda.

1.14.2024 - Where The Wild Things Are

Sun, 14 Jan 2024 18:00:00 -0600

The Gospel of Mark tells us that immediately after his baptism, Jesus is sent into the wilderness to be tested by Satan. The sequence of these events not only gives us a clue about Jesus’s mission as the Son of God, it also shapes our expectations for what it means to be a Christ-follower.

1.7.2023 - Mark, A Journey With Jesus - Step Into the Water

Sun, 07 Jan 2024 22:00:00 -0600

Over the next several months we’ll be working through some of the key events in Jesus’s ministry as depicted in the Gospel of Mark. The first thing we see Jesus do in Mark’s gospel is show up at the Jordan River to be baptized by John. Why did Jesus step into the water? How does his baptism shape the way we view ours?

12.31.2023 - New Year, New Heart

Sun, 31 Dec 2023 22:00:00 -0600

Our Next Steps Minister, Wes Rasbury, delivers a message on ways we can renew our heart moving into a new year.

12.24.2023 - A Better Way

Thu, 28 Dec 2023 21:00:00 -0600

We celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas Eve as we complete the final candles of Advent.

12.17.2023 - Among Us

Mon, 18 Dec 2023 12:00:00 -0600

As we draw nearer to our celebration of Christ’s birth, we’ll contemplate the stunning implications of John’s declaration that “The Word became flesh and lived among us.” (John 1:14)

12.10.23 - The Witness

Sun, 10 Dec 2023 23:00:00 -0600

As he does with many other elements of the gospel story, John gives us a slightly different perspective on John the Baptist when he describes him as the man who was not. Clarity around who John (and we) are not, can help simplify our purpose during the busiest and most hectic time of year.

12.03.2023 - The Word

Mon, 04 Dec 2023 21:00:00 -0600

As we prepare to celebrate Christ coming into creation as a baby, let’s zoom out and contemplate how creation comes into being through Christ.

11.26.2023 - Wait For It

Sun, 26 Nov 2023 17:00:00 -0600

Sometimes giving thanks comes easy. Sometimes it’s a struggle to praise God while drowning in deep disappointment. This Sunday we'll listen in on a dialogue between God and a disappointed man who resolves to praise God anyway.

11.19.2023 - A Theology of Food

Sun, 19 Nov 2023 21:00:00 -0600

Since Thanksgiving marks the official beginning of the holiday eating season, let us develop a robust theology of food so we are thoroughly equipped to eat and drink to the glory of God.

11.12.2023 - Giving and Receiving

Sun, 12 Nov 2023 17:00:00 -0600

We wrap up our study of Philippians by digging into the final section of the letter, in which Paul expresses his gratitude to the Philippians for the financial gift they sent him while he's in prison. What could have been a simple "thank you" turns out to be much more complex, and for good reason.

11.5.2023 - A Non-Anxious Presence

Mon, 06 Nov 2023 11:00:00 -0600

Managing our anxiety when faced with trouble is an essential skill for a follower of Jesus. Chronic anxiety keeps us from making wise decisions and destroys relationships. In Philippians 4:1-9, Paul names several practices that can help us become a less-anxious presence in the midst of difficult circumstances.

10.29.2023 - Citizen of Heaven

Sun, 29 Oct 2023 17:00:00 -0500

At the end of Philippians 3, Paul drops a thought bomb on our understanding how to live the Christian life, when he describes Christ-followers as "citizens of heaven." The implications from understanding our primary citizenship in this way are staggering.

10.22.2023 - Knowing Christ

Mon, 23 Oct 2023 13:00:00 -0500

In Philippians 3, Paul uses shocking language to describe his past religious achievements. Perhaps because he knows how destructive and divisive building an identity on human achievement can be. He then reminds his friends in Philippi of the true and lasting source of his (and their) new identity.

10.15.2023 - Examples

Mon, 16 Oct 2023 11:00:00 -0500

Some passages of Scripture are easy to skim over. Especially when they're filled with ancient names, travel plans, and mundane details having no real contemporary significance. Tucked into the middle of Philippians is one such passage. Instead of skipping it, we're going to slow down and read it carefully, for it demonstrates an essential practice for becoming a more skillful follower of Christ.

10.8.2023 - Missions Focus - Kevin Vance

Mon, 09 Oct 2023 11:00:00 -0500

Today we hear from Kevin Vance and the Mission work him and his wife do in Regina, Saskatchewan.

10.1.2023 - What Really Matters - The Mindset of Christ

Sun, 01 Oct 2023 17:00:00 -0500

In Philippians 2, Paul encourages his friends in Philippi to cultivate a certain mindset that will enable them to maintain their unity. We've become so familiar with what he says that it’s difficult to appreciate how radical and challenging his instructions were (and still are).

9.24.2023 - What Really Matters: Standing Together As One

Sun, 24 Sep 2023 21:00:00 -0500

This Sunday we’ll explore the implications of the image Paul uses to illustrate what he means when he implores his friends in Philippi to conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.

9.17.2023 - What Really Matters: Making Christ Known

Sun, 17 Sep 2023 19:00:00 -0500

In Philippians 1, when Paul reflects on his imprisonment and possible execution, he shows us what really matters when facing adversity.

9.10.2023 - What Really Matters

Sun, 10 Sep 2023 17:00:00 -0500

When Paul writes a letter of appreciation to the church in Philippi, he shows us both how Christian friendship works and why we all need friends who can help us see what really matters.

9.3.2023 - Making Room

Sun, 03 Sep 2023 11:00:00 -0500

Join us this week as we consider why hospitality is an essential Christian practice.

8.27.2023 - Combating Isolation

Sun, 27 Aug 2023 16:00:00 -0500

7.2.2023 - What's Your Next Step?

Wed, 05 Jul 2023 16:00:00 -0500

We all have next step in our spiritual walks. God meets us where we are, but God refuses to leave us there. Like Abraham being called out of the familiar land that he knew, or like Sarah for receiving the promise to have a child at her age, or like Rahab for being hospitable to the spies, or like Peter stepping out of the comfort of the boat to walk on the water - we all have a next step. So, the question today is: what is your next step? Where might God be calling you?

Sun, 16 Apr 2023 22:00:00 -0500

3.5.2023 - Nick at Night

Mon, 13 Feb 2023 22:00:00 -0600

2.5.2023 - Bizarro World

Mon, 06 Feb 2023 14:00:00 -0600

In Matthew 5, Jesus begins his famous Sermon on the Mount with a series of blessings and promises known as The Beatitudes. While the beatitudes are more descriptions than commands, they do have a way of inviting us to live differently in a world Jesus is turning upside down.

Mon, 30 Jan 2023 14:00:00 -0600

12.11.2022 - The Christmas Cast - Joseph

Sun, 11 Dec 2022 15:00:00 -0600

Sometimes, as in the case with Zechariah and Elizabeth, God answers our prayer and takes away our disgrace. Sometimes God calls us to do something that disgraces us in the eyes of our peers. Join us this Sunday as we explore the Christmas story from Joseph's perspective.

12.04.2022 - The Christmas Cast - John the (Advent) Prophet

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 01:00:00 -0600

Sun, 13 Nov 2022 16:00:00 -0600

Sun, 06 Nov 2022 14:00:00 -0600

In Acts 8, an angel tells Philip to go to a deserted city on a seldom travelled road. This strange command leads to an encounter with an Ethiopian eunuch who desperately needs to hear some good news. The story ends with the eunuch continuing on his way rejoicing. After we explore this story on Sunday, I hope you leave rejoicing too.

10.30.2022 - Movement - Missing God's Next Move

Sun, 30 Oct 2022 13:00:00 -0500

In Acts 7, Stephen preaches a sermon that gets him stoned. This week Wade will explain why Stephen's sermon made his audience so angry, while trying to avoid the same fate as Stephen. Should be fun, but please leave your rocks at home.

10.23.2022 - Movement - Death By Hypocrisy

Sun, 23 Oct 2022 13:00:00 -0500

Near the end of Acts 4, Luke describes a church of which I'm sure we'd all like to be a part. But I wonder how many of us would like to belong to the church he describes in Acts 5:1-11? This week we'll approach the story of Ananias and Sapphira with emotional and intellectual honesty and perhaps discover why it may be the most relevant story for us in Acts.

10.16.2022 - Movement - Don’t Settle for Less

Sun, 16 Oct 2022 21:00:00 -0500

In Acts 4, we see the followers of Jesus responding to challenges in powerful ways. What is it that enabled them to experience such an amazing life of faith and how do we allow God to work among us in similar ways today?

10.09.2022 - Movement - Money Can Buy Me Love: Participating in the Radical Economy of Jesus

Sun, 09 Oct 2022 21:00:00 -0500

In the economy of Jesus, followers of Christ invest money and possessions in the community as a demonstration of God's love for all creation. A people with met needs point the world to a God whose love exceeds.

10.02.2022 - The Fractal of Salvation

Sun, 02 Oct 2022 17:00:00 -0500

In Acts 3, Peter miraculously heals a man who had been lame for over forty years. When reading stories like this, it's tempting to fixate on the miracle, which can cause us to miss the larger point of story. This week we’ll see how this story about a miracle points us to something much bigger.

9.25.2022 - Our Origin Story

Sun, 25 Sep 2022 13:00:00 -0500

9.18.2022 - Movement - The Exalted One

Sun, 18 Sep 2022 14:00:00 -0500

We Christians love to read, talk, and sing, about Jesus' birth, life, death, resurrection, and eventual return. But his ascension is often overlooked. This Sunday we'll focus on questions like: What happened when Jesus ascended? What does the ascension mean? What practical difference does make it in our lives?

9.11.2022 - Movement - Overcoming All Obstacles

Sun, 11 Sep 2022 20:00:00 -0500

9.4.2022 - Combatting Isolation

Sun, 04 Sep 2022 15:00:00 -0500

8.28.2022 - Onramps & Intersections: Living The Story

Sun, 28 Aug 2022 16:00:00 -0500

Christians gather and Christians scatter. While both are necessary, the majority of the work the church does to fulfill its mission occurs while scattered. This Sunday Wade will share a simple vision for how every scattered Christian can participate in God's mission.

Onramps & Intersections - Celebrating The Story

Mon, 22 Aug 2022 12:00:00 -0500

"Worship was good this morning!" How many times have you said this after a worship gathering? But what exactly makes worship “good”? Send your answer to wade@greenvilleoaks.org. Wade shares his answer in this Sermon.

Onramps & Intersections - Growing Into the Story

Sun, 14 Aug 2022 15:00:00 -0500

The goal of the Christian life is to become more like Christ. While most agree on the goal, there is some confusion about how to achieve it. How do we grow in Christ-likeness? What is God's role in the process? What is ours? What keeps us from making progress toward the goal? These are some of the questions we'll tackle on Sunday.

Onramps & Intersections - Entering The Story

Sun, 07 Aug 2022 12:00:00 -0500

Every time the gospel story is told, it calls for a response from those who hear it. This Sunday we'll explore how our response to the gospel is both a one-time event and a lifelong process.

Onramps & Intersections - The Story From Below

Sun, 31 Jul 2022 12:00:00 -0500

Last week we explored the gospel story from above (God’s perspective). This week we’ll explore it from our perspective (below). In doing so, we’ll hopefully gain a better understanding of what it means to say, “Jesus saves.”

Onramps & Intersections - The Story From Above

Sun, 24 Jul 2022 23:00:00 -0500

This week Wade is launching a new series about what it means to be part of God’s story by challenging us to begin our exploration of the gospel, not with our problems, needs, or desires, but with God’s activity in the world.

Grappling with Grace

Sun, 17 Jul 2022 17:00:00 -0500

God’s grace is unearned, unmerited favor that he lavishes upon us, and is thus unfathomable. We often try to cheapen it by taking it for granted or by trying to “earn it” back. Since we don’t or can’t make sense of it, we struggle to model that kind of grace to others. But praise be to God for his good grace that is available and for each and everyone of us.

#For Collin County - Keep It Going

Sun, 10 Jul 2022 20:00:00 -0500

What if we just simply lived out the words of Acts 4:32?

I am not saying you should or that it is easy. I am just saying, what if we did it.

I mean, what if we simply worried less about our own needs and focused more on making sure that those around us and those in our community had everything they needed. And if they didn‘t have what they needed, that we would give it to them… we would just fill in the gap.

When you say it like that, it seem like a fairly simple challenge, but it’s not. It’s really hard sometimes.

A Tale of Two Sons

Sun, 03 Jul 2022 13:00:00 -0500

We often fail to understand the incredible love God has for us. Sometimes, though, we can understand God’s love for ourselves, but we aren’t willing to recognize that His love is also given equally to those who are very different from us.

Simple(r) Choices

Sun, 26 Jun 2022 21:00:00 -0500

In a world of dizzying choices and multiplying options, Jesus shows us how to stay focused on what really matters

A Simple(r) Life

Mon, 20 Jun 2022 12:00:00 -0500

The Heart of Prayer

Sun, 05 Jun 2022 13:00:00 -0500

The Way of the Cross

Sun, 08 May 2022 19:00:00 -0500

Lead Minister Wade Hodges takes another look at Paul teachings. Specifically, how despite personal differences and preferences, we can put them aside use the example to be "for" others instead of opposing them. This is the way of Christ.

The Cross is the Way

Sun, 01 May 2022 22:00:00 -0500

New Lead Minister Wade Hodges teaches from 1 Corinthians 1-2. He examines Paul's message and methods of presentation. It is very much a polarizing method of teaching in comparison too many methods used within the modern church. Wade uses this as a spring board to show that the cross alone is enough to draw people to Christ.

Welcome Wade and Heather Hodges!

Sun, 24 Apr 2022 20:00:00 -0500

This week we welcome both Wade and Heather Hodges to the Greenville Oaks Church family. Wade is the new Lead Minister at Greenville Oaks and we take some time to learn more about Wade, Heather and their family!

Easter Sunday

#For Collin County - Caring for the Suffering Christ

Mon, 28 Mar 2022 11:00:00 -0500

Bonhoeffer wrote in Life Together that we always have Christ between ourselves and others. Whatever we say and do, we say to and through the Lord Christ. So it is with doing good. Whatever good we do, we do to Jesus. Whatever good we withhold, we withhold from Jesus. We are to be Jesus to others and see Jesus in the face of others.

#For Collin County - Do We Have the Guts It Takes to Love?

Sun, 20 Mar 2022 12:00:00 -0500

The word translated as “pity” here is the Greek word for intestines—guts. Pity and compassion are not intellectual exercises. Our lives should be trained so we have a visceral response to the needs of others that we act on before we think ourselves out of doing the good we should.

#For Collin County - Who Is My Neighbor?

Sun, 13 Mar 2022 15:00:00 -0500

Our doing good is an essential part of keeping the two great commandments. We have to deal with the challenge of love of the neighbor and the love of the one who is not like us. What pride and prejudice might keep us from showing the love of Christ to others?

#For Collin County - The Doing-Good Church

Mon, 07 Mar 2022 15:00:00 -0600

Paul writes Titus a letter to help him with his ministry on the island of Crete. The Cretans had a reputation of being a horrible people. The difference Christ will make in the lives of his disciples on Crete is that they would be people who do what is good. This is a simple call for us now—do what is good.

The Mark of a Disciple - The Way of the Cross

Sun, 27 Feb 2022 23:00:00 -0600

Following Jesus demands that we adopt his way of doing things. His ways and values are not the values and ways of the fallen world. The way of self-sacrifice and service is the way of the Cross.

The Mark of a Disciple - Week One

Sun, 20 Feb 2022 23:00:00 -0600

Being a disciple of Jesus is a matter of a decision and a process. We decide to follow Jesus. The journey is one in which Jesus becomes clearer to us, and our way to walk with him becomes clearer.

Sun, 13 Feb 2022 17:00:00 -0600

Candle of Peace - The Invitation of Peace

Sun, 05 Dec 2021 10:00:00 -0600

Sun, 28 Nov 2021 12:00:00 -0600

Come, Lord Jesus

Sat, 30 Jul 2016 23:00:00 -0500

Revelation 22:17-21. What does it mean to pray "Come, Lord Jesus" believing that Jesus is coming again? What does it mean to believe in "heaven"? For some, this is reassurance that everything works out in the end so we should just hang in there until that time. From this perspective, the work is to do everything possible to not get too messed up by the world until we can escape it all. But what if our belief in heaven is actually a reality to be received, embraced, even constructed right here - right now? What if the prayer for Jesus' second coming is a posture for welcoming his dominion and his reign right here in our midst? What if forever is now!?! This way of seeing eternity, of believing in heaven, of praying for Jesus' return was crucial for the earliest Christians. When John writes his apocalypse, he is inviting those who believe in the return of Jesus to be fully in the world in two ways: (1) To be fully in the world as it is, and (2) To be fully in the world as it will be. This requires us to move between weeping and rejoicing - from brokenness to confession to full participation in the in-breaking reign of God. This requires us to spend our days re-imagining, co-creating and participating with God's desire to see the kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. Come, Lord Jesus!

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

Sat, 16 Nov 2013 23:00:00 -0600

Luke 19:1-10; Jesus Sees You in the Crowd. He knows all about you...hurts, anxieties, etc. Let's remember what we are to be about. We are to do as he did...seek and save what is lost. To the degree we remember what business we are in will we be successful in accomplishing the task He gave us.

Get Out of the Boat!

Sat, 26 Oct 2013 23:00:00 -0500

Matthew 14:22-33; What are you trusting God to do in your life that if He doesn't come through, you're through? It's a challenge to our faith and trust in the Savior when we find ourselves up against it. What Peter did that night should be an encouragement to all of us to risk something for God and trust Him to come thru for us.

Change Is In The Air

Sat, 19 Oct 2013 23:00:00 -0500

Mark 12:28-31; While methodologies & strategies change, some things never change...love God, love your neighbor!! No matter what changes are made to be relevant with the gospel, this message never changes...and you can trust that!

His Majesty!

Sat, 12 Oct 2013 23:00:00 -0500

Revelation 1:9-18; Jack Hayford wrote the song "Majesty" after meditating on this passage. We serve a majestic Savior who comes to us in the midst of our troubles--we need not be afraid! Even when change & transition come, we need not fear for He is with us & He is awesome!! The message of this passage is: stop fearing, for I am your King!

Jesus Shops the Clearance Racks!

Sat, 05 Oct 2013 23:00:00 -0500

Luke 5:1-11; Jesus shops the clearance racks! It's about the fact that he chose this rag-tag group of men to follow him because he believed they had it in them to "be like him." Application: He still shops the clearance racks...he sees the potential in you & believes in you. He believes you have the potential to be like him! Question is...do you believe him? Do you see what he can make you into?
