    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Apr 22, 2014
     | 4,326 views

    The teaching of Jesus is not complicated. Love God and love others. We do this by serving people and sharing the Good News of Jesus with them. And Obey God. We do this by submitting to the authority of Jesus through prayer and living out His Will, His purpose and priorities.

    Last week we discussed that the core of Jesus teaching is this truth, He must be at the center of all we do and think. Last Sunday we discussed the priorities of Jesus. His two priorities are to love God and others and to obey God. These are His priorities so they must be the priorities of ...read more

    On the evening of April 15, 1912, a most horrible and tragic accident took the lives of over 1,500 people. What is more horrifying is the fact that there were 16 lifeboats and four rafts with enough space to accommodate over 1,700. There were almost a 1,000 more people on board the Titanic than ...read more

  • Raising Your Kids To Be Followers Of Jesus Rather Than Fans

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 16, 2013
     | 9,138 views

    If you approach the Bible as a book that you have to read, a bunch of rules that you have to memorize, then that is how your kids will approach it, too.

    I read a story recently about three ladies who were sitting around and bragging about their children. The first one said, "You know my son, he graduated first in his class from Stanford, he’s now a doctor making $250,000 a year in Chicago." The second woman said, "You know my son, he ...read more

  • Defining Love - Genuine Love Isn't Normal Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 16, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,021 views

    Jesus followers are a weird group of people. We don’t live like other people. We don’t have the same priorities or look at life the same way as everyone else. Genuine love always points people to Jesus Christ.

    Let’s just be real here. Jesus followers are weird people. We’re wacked. We say stuff and do things that most people around us find odd, or even dumb. For example, we look for ways to bless the kind of people that others want to avoid. We want to go to prison and love on inmates. ...read more

  • Defining Love - Sacrifice Isn't Optional Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 16, 2013
     | 5,110 views

    The people of Jesus know how to sacrifice. Genuine followers of Jesus know what it means to be faithful and experience joy in suffering. How about you? Are you weird like that?

    We're in the second week of our series "defining love" last time we talked about how genuine love, God's love, isn't normal. We defined love as faithful and that the result of faithfulness is joy. We talked about how our culture defines love in a million different ways, but, God defines love much ...read more

  • Defining Love - Selfishness Murders Relationships Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 16, 2013
     | 3,974 views

    We can say we love God if we want to, but, Jesus teaches us that the only way to follow Him, is to love and serve people like He does. Jesus wants people to find Him, to discover His redemption.

    When I was a kid my parents were missionaries in the Philippines. We lived there for three years, two in one house and one in another outside of Cebu City.

     | 7,017 views

    The best witnesses for Jesus to an unbelieving world are followers who hold on to what they believe in every circumstance

    You know the game where one person stands in front of a group of people and says, “Simon says raise your hand,” and everybody raises their hands. “Simon says raise your other hand,” and everybody raises their other hand. Well the world is like Simon and many are doing ...read more

  • Speaking The Truth In Love - Loving The Immoral Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 17, 2013
     | 4,128 views

    We love immoral people by holding on to what we believe and sympathizing with the weaknesses of others because we know what our weaknesses are.

    Jesus says the most important command of God for us to obey is this, “To love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind and to love others.” So for the last few weeks we’ve taken some time to define what this kind of love is. We can summarize our last few lessons this way, ...read more

  • Speaking The Truth In Love - Loving The Mentally Ill Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 17, 2013
     | 5,259 views

    If we love the mentally ill, we won't judge them, blame them or suggest that they are simply suffering through a spiritual battle. If we love them, we will help, we will listen, we will accept them.

    A few weeks ago we discussed what it means to speak the truth in love and how we do so with unbelievers and how we love those who embrace immorality. Today we're going to continue to speak the truth in love for another group of folks that we don't talk about much. This is what we want to discuss ...read more

     | 3,476 views

    The reality is that every follower of Jesus has a mission. I hope and pray you are seeking faithfulness over happiness. I pray you know that the power of what you seek is found in the person of the Resurrected Jesus.

    Today is Mother’s Day. On this day we honor the women among us who have or are raising children. And this is a worthy thing. Mom’s deserve our respect, attention and honor.

  • Marriage And The Jesus Follower - Changing Who You Are Is Necessary Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 17, 2013
     | 3,094 views

    Followers of Jesus are affirmed by God because of who Jesus is, not because of who we are as an individual. God never accepts us for who we are, He accepts us because as followers of His Son, we are who we are because of Jesus. And God accepts Jesus.

    Hebrews 13:4 "Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery."

  • Marriage And The Jesus Follower - Perfecting Intimacy Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 17, 2013
     | 3,264 views

    Desiring God leads to raised awareness of who He is and a raised awareness of who God is leads to reshaped priorities that fit His, and reshaped priorities that fit His condition us to recognize that God is enough and when we recognize God is enough we become completely dependent on Him.

    Hebrews 13:4 "Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery." Our goal as followers including those of us who are married is to remain faithful. We started the series on Marriage and the Jesus ...read more

  • God Vs Satan - Defining The Sides Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 18, 2013
     | 6,586 views

    Satan is a con artist. He's the best. The reason people refuse to deny themselves to follow Jesus is because satan deceives them into thinking they don't have to. God and Satan are enemies, and the creation of God is the battlefield

    In the beginning of human history God warned Adam and Eve about a certain tree in the Garden and that they were forbidden to eat the fruit of this tree. Why did God put this dumb tree in the Garden? GRRRR....We believe God to be all powerful. We believe God to be the ultimate power in the ...read more
