Actions matter, but what’s going on in your heart? Maybe you haven’t committed the act of murder, but if your heart's full of anger it’s the same to God; and maybe you haven’t committed the act of adultery, but if your heart's full of lust it’s the same to God. In this message, Pastor Bob Merritt teaches us that sin isn't just what we do, it’s what’s in our hearts as well.  Monty Williams clip mentioned in Bob's message can be view here.

Some people will say it doesn't matter what you do as long as you feel a certain way. But is that true? Does it matter what we do? In this message, Pastor Jason Strand teaches us that faith without action—without doing something—is dead. We should be asking the question, "What should we do?"

There are people who think it doesn't matter what you believe as long as you're sincere. They're convinced all roads lead to God. But is that true? Is it all the same? In this message, Senior Pastor Bob Merritt teaches us that it matters what we believe, because Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me."

Have you ever had a time in your life when you felt overwhelmed? Certainly we all have. Maybe someone's even told you, "God won't give you more than you can handle." In this message, Teaching Pastor Jason Strand explains why it's good for us to feel like we can't handle every overwhelming situation in our lives because God uses those circumstances to bring us closer to Him.

You've heard it before, "Christians should never judge." But without judgement, how could we ever enforce laws, give advice, or hold employees accountable?

Some Christians will say, “You just need to forgive and forget.” “Move on. Get over it. Shake it off.” But how do you shake off something like abandonment, abuse, betrayal or lies?
