- Jun 27, 2021God Brought Us Out To Bring Us In
God Brought Us Out To Bring Us InIn this message, Pastor Chris looks at the passage in Deuteronomy 6, focusing on verse 23, to look at God's purpose for redeeming us. We begin to grasp some things from the experience of the Israelites in the desert of how God takes us out of the negative and brings us into the positive, in order that we might possess His promises. We must remember though that, along the way, what happens in us is of far more importance that what happens to us.

- Jun 13, 2021Facing Failure
Facing FailureThe road to success is lined with failings. And whether those failings are good or bad lies in the eyes of the beholder.

- Jun 6, 2021Simplicity

- May 23, 2021Blessings in the Valley of Baca
Blessings in the Valley of BacaThe Christian pilgrimage is not always smooth sailing and every believer will walk their own Valley of Baca (Valley of Bitterness).

- May 16, 2021Your Body, God’s Temple

- May 9, 2021Don’t Tap Out
Don’t Tap OutIn today's culture, it is easy to become overwhelmed and want to throw in the towel as a believer. And although it will get more difficult as time goes, we must learn to tap into God's power and strength so that we can endure. In this message, Pastor Anthony encourages us to do just that, to "endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus." (2 Timothy 2:3) We have the message of hope and salvation that the world desperately needs, so we must persevere by knowing who we are in Christ and relying on Him to strengthen and empower us.
- May 2, 2021The Oil of Anointing

He reminds us that we must have more than "a form of godliness but denying its power. (2 Timothy 3:5)"
- Apr 25, 2021Do You Want to Get Well?
Do You Want to Get Well?Salvation is not just a "get-out-of-hell-free" card; salvation is just the beginning of all that Jesus accomplished on the cross.

Pastor Chris lays out three points from that poignant question asked by Jesus, "Do you want to get well?"

- Apr 11, 2021Defeating the Killer Vines
Defeating the Killer VinesThe word "worry" comes from an old Anglo-Saxon word meaning "to choke". This is an appropriate definition as worry tends to strangle and suffocate us. In this message, Pastor Chris takes inspiration from his weeping cherry tree and Philippians 4:4 - 8 to remind us that if we do not allow Holy Spirit to prune us and clear out the strangling vines of worry in our life, we will be stifled, suffocated and eventually have a fruitless life.
- Apr 4, 2021Christ is Risen: So What?

In this powerful Easter message, Pastor Chris lays out three points of application from Romans 6:1 - 4 and shows us how our lives can be empowered when applied.

It Starts Right HereAs believers, we have the Answer the hurting world is searching for. And to be the light and salt that the world is crying out for, we need to take our rightful place as the Church.

In this message, Pastor Anthony reminds us that the revival we pray for and long for starts with us allowing God to do that necessary work.
- Mar 21, 2021The Water of God’s Spirit
The Water of God’s SpiritIntegral to the soul of man is an insatiable thirst that is only satisfied by the water of Holy Spirit.

In this message, Pastor Chris preaches from John 7:37 - 39, exhorting us to go deeper in the river that is flowing from the throne of grace.
- Mar 14, 2021Seven Guarantees for the Days to Come
Seven Guarantees for the Days to ComeIn our current age, we have abundant access to technology that supposedly makes our life better. Yet there is such a "paralysis of analysis", that many people do not know what to believe. They are running hither and yon more than ever before and are lacking a foundation. In this message, Pastor Chris references Daniel 12:1 - 4 and gives us seven guarantees that we can sink our teeth into in this ever changing world.
