Freedom from the Grip of Lust
If there was a huge problem that affected everyone at one level or another we should address it in church. If this problem twisted and distorted a good gift of God and made it harder to live a pure single life or prepare for marriage and even harder to build a strong marriage we would definitely have to address it.
Even if its hard to see and uncomfortable to talk about we have to address it. Lust is a problem just like that. And only Jesus’ power can set us free from its grip.

Sex and ONEness in MarriageSex as God designed it is beautiful. It’s the physical expression of relational oneness and permanence. That is why it is reserved for the covenant of marriage under God.When we seek the ONE together with our TWO we are able to divorce-proof our marriage and cultivate a deep love that lasts for a lifetime.

Gospel-Centered Ministry
Ministry is not just for people who have titles and get paid. It isn’t something we do to be right with God or so God owes us. It isn’t something we do to be thanked by others. All those are wrong ideas and motives. In this message Pastor Jim shared that ministry is any gracious act done in Jesus’ name for the benefit of someone else. And every Christian has been shaped in grace to serve others! - Apr 17, 2016Lasting Gospel-Centered Change
Lasting Gospel-Centered ChangeReal, lasting and deep change is not about harnessing our mind for better will-power or focusing our emotions. We need something higher than the mind and deeper than emotions. We need heart change that transforms what we love, rest in and fix ourselves on the most. In this message Pastor Jim shows how this change comes as a gift of grace. It is the fruit of God’s power working in and through the lives of His children.

The Gospel-Centered CommunityChristian community is something church people talk about all the time, but too few people actually experience it. A Crowd ≠ Community. Being in a Church ≠ Community. Being in a Community Group ≠ Community. In this message Pastor Jim shows us that community is a gift God has given us. It’s another sign of His abundant love and grace for us that makes us distinct from the world and for the world.

The Risen One Must Be First
Christians believe three things: Christ has DIED! Christ has RISEN! Christ will COME AGAIN! His death on the cross paid for all the sin in the world, offering us forgiveness. His resurrection defeated the power of sin and death and proves that He is Lord of the universe. And His return will one day judge the world, ending evil once and for all and righting every wrong ever committed. - Mar 20, 2016I Am Second in Every Context

I Am Second in HumilityTim Keller says, “Pride is the carbon monoxide of sin, killing you without you having any ability to tell its happening.” It makes us competitive, self-absorbed and foolish. It’s the gateway to all kinds of evil and it destroys many relationships. In this message Pastor Jim shows that PRIDE loses its position only as JESUS takes His!Click here to watch the Rudy Kalis I Am Second Video used in this message
