  • The Problem With Jealousy

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Oct 10, 2013
     | 10,188 views

    It's impossible to be thankful and feel jealous at the same time

    Have you ever wanted something that was not yours? Have you ever wanted what someone else had so much that you wished that they didn't have it? Or because they have what you don't, you get consumed with the idea, and it's all you can think about, and the more you think about what they have and ...read more

  • Why Small Groups? It's About Accountability

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Nov 20, 2012
     | 3,840 views

    Everyone has a boss. Everyone has someone they answer to at work. Even the boss has a boss. The folks who can claim that they don’t have a boss are those who own the company, but, even then, owners have to answer for regulations, taxes, and payroll. E

    “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. ...read more

  • The Response To Jesus: Zacchaeus Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Nov 20, 2012
     | 12,068 views

    So, Zacchaeus was named bright, clean or pure. Unfortunately he grew up to be the complete opposite. One of the first things we learn of Zacchaues from Luke 19 is that he is the chief tax collector in the region. He’s not just a tax collector like Matt

    The Hebrew name Zacchaeus is taken from a Hebrew word Zakak which means to be bright, clean or pure. I can imagine that when Zaccheaus was a wee little baby his mom and dad had bright hopes for him. Names had significant meaning for the ancient Jew. Mary named her son Jesus the Greek version of ...read more

  • The Response To Jesus: Judas And Peter Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Nov 20, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,322 views

    The betrayal of Judas and the denial of Peter came within hours of each other. The responses were similar, but, the overall outcome of each of these men was completely different. This morning I want to take a look at the betrayal of Judas and the denial

    Last week we discussed the response to Jesus by Zacchaeus. His response was immediate. We talked last week about how our response to Jesus needs to be like this tax collector. We must own up to our mistakes. Repent, and then offer our lives as an example of what a follower of Jesus looks like. ...read more

  • The Response To Jesus: Mary And Martha Series

     | 12,477 views

    You see Martha said she believed in the resurrection, but she wasn’t expecting it to happen. Here she was in the presence of the Savior of the world, the one who had already raised from the dead a widow’s son and the daughter of a centurion, but she didn

    Sometimes men cry. It happens. A few years ago the BBC News blog posted an article called “80 more things that make men cry.” These were responses from men about circumstances that make them cry. Here’s a few of them. “Being told by the girl you love that she wants you ...read more

  • What Is Church? A People Group Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Nov 29, 2012
     | 4,034 views

    We are a people group with the privilege and the honor of living the Word of God as witnesses. I believe that if we start accepting ourselves as the people group of heaven who are in place on earth to share the Gospel of Jesus as we are empowered by the

    I did a google search for why folks find church boring and I came across a forum in wikihow.com called, “How to Stay Entertained in Church.” The post begins with this statement, “Church is always boring, if you don’t think it is, then why are you reading this? This article ...read more

  • What Is Church? The Essential Business Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Nov 29, 2012
     | 3,899 views

    Listen to the words of Jesus. “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. “ Our Savior defines for u

    Last week we introduced the question, “What is church?” and the answer last week was, “the church is a people group.” This week we are continuing to ask the same question, “What is church?” but this week we add to the answer, “it’s a people group ...read more

  • What Is Church? The Meeting Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Nov 29, 2012
     | 4,301 views

    We are a people group whose essential business is to love others as Jesus loved us and who routinely come together to share faith, enjoy testimony and most importantly pray with confidence, boldness and power. We are the people group of Jesus Christ and

    Two weeks ago we introduced the question, “What is church?” and we started with the first part of the answer, which is, “the church is a people group.” Last week we continued to ask the same question, “What is church?” and we added to the answer, ...read more

  • Taking A Look At Failure

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 8, 2012
     | 3,094 views

    No matter how messed up or ugly you think or feel you are, you are priceless to God and nothing in all creation can separate you from His love. And what is even more awesome to consider is that through your flaws, weaknesses and failures the power of God

    The phrase “Epic Fail” has gained some traction in the last couple of years especially in social media. #epicfail is a popular hashtag. Here are a couple of examples of #epicfail hashtags on twitter.  Saw a lady this morning in her workout gear walking briskly while smoking ...read more

  • Taking A Look At Faith

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 8, 2012
     | 3,118 views

    When it comes to faith I believe in two things; God can and God cares. Why did the followers of Jesus mentioned in the Hebrew writers' description endure the horrific treatment of persecution? Why did they keep their faith in Jesus as the Son of God eve

    Last week we took a look at failure. We discussed that God’s love is unconditional. He doesn't remove love because of your failure or give you some love when you succeed. He loves you because He made you. Paul made his case that even with his failures; God was using Him to unleash His power ...read more

  • Taking A Look At Family

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 8, 2012
     | 3,077 views

    There’s that thread again, “in the same way.” In what way are husbands to give honor to their wives? In the same way that gives God the glory and makes His name more famous in the community. The motive matters. If our homes look like God arranged them

    1 Peter 3 is just one of many Scriptures that deal with our human families and the church family in the same context. One reason why the definition of marriage in our modern environment is so important is because God uses the analogy of human marriage to explain His divine relationship with his ...read more

  • The Sky Is Falling

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 19, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,958 views

    At some point in my life, whether I’m still alive or dead, I’m going to face Jesus. My name is in the book of life. My life is registered in heaven. I’ve given my flawed and imperfect life to the authority of Jesus Christ. My question this morning is,

    Have you ever wondered what it would be like to know the outcome of any decision you were about to make? How would your life be different if you could know the result of a decision before making it? In the trilogy “Back to the Future” this is the idea that these movies experiment ...read more

  • You Can Give What You Have

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 19, 2012
     | 2,634 views

    There are so many hurting people in our world and we often feel that we have nothing to offer that will provide any real sense of peace or joy. We can be supportive, we can offer prayer, we can send gifts, and all of these things are great, but, the one

    I like the Christmas Season. Overall it’s a positive time of year when people seem to be more in tune with serving and giving, especially to those in need. I think this is a great thing. It’s appropriate that the time of year when Christians celebrate the birth of our Savior, the ...read more

  • A Simple, Difficult And Necessary Question; A Christmas Reflection

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 26, 2012
     | 2,685 views

    It’s Spiritually necessary for us to contemplate our journey with God and ask one simple question with huge implications. “Have I sold out my life for Jesus?”

    I enjoy a Christmas Eve service. I find it ironic though that most of us perceive this service as being a quiet and reflective time. Of course Christmas is the celebration of Jesus’ birthday, so it’s great we have candles, but, don’t you find it kind of odd that we celebrate his ...read more

  • Moment Of Decision

     | 5,748 views

    Why does God allow us to be tested?

    Moment of Decision – Genesis 22 We all have moments of decision…some are small and insignificant and some are life changing, or life forming. This story about Abraham in Genesis 22 brings up some familiar themes from the life of Jesus and His moments of decision. Let’s compare ...read more
