     | 256 views

    This sermon continues the study of Jude by exploring how believers are called to remain grounded in God's love, even amid internal threats to the Church. It emphasizes the role of spiritual disciplines—building faith, prayer, and hopeful anticipation of Christ.

If you were with us last week you’ll remember that we talked about how the things that we need to look out for in the church are the times when we notice someone seems to only ever have complaints, and specifically with a purpose of creating division. ...read more

     | 11,419 views

    In this message, we’ll learn how simply building a dream team to rebuild something that’s broken isn’t enough; we must anticipate the trainwrecks that can create whining, foster a losing attitude, and derail the rebuilding project.

    I’m going to state the obvious. It’s more fun to win than it is to lose. Winning puts a smile on our faces. But what does it take to win? Quitters never win and winners never quit. Whiners never win and winners never whine. Turning whiners into winners Series: Here’s hope: Rebuilding a ...read more
