The Road to Reconciliation begins with understanding the character of God: His motive for reconciliation is love and justice. Because Jesus shed His blood, you can be reconciled to God by faith having the burden of your sin removed and the benefits of salvation released.

One of our missionaries, Paul Trementozzi, shares an incredible message on the Cross. We are instructed to "live in love" and this is what love looks like: the sacrifice of the cross. The love of God that is revealed on the cross is to be the heart of the church.

Great marriages never just happen; our marriages are as good as we are committed to make them. Guest speaker Pastor Randy Carter explains that true soulmates look for the best in each other, they shower each other with love and acceptance, they keep short records, and they give each other the confidence of a committed relationship.

No relationship in your life is neutral: people either push you toward Jesus or pull you from Him. Being connected to your church family gets you closer to Jesus! It matters that your family is connected in community because your church family helps give your family strength for life's seasons.

Because our families matter, it matters that our families serve the Lord. Pastor Keith offers 5 important decisions we must make if we want our families to serve the Lord. Let's learn together how to build a grace-based family, teach our family to worship God, become a student of obedience, and remove all compromise as we choose daily to serve the Lord.

Your perception of God directly impacts every relationship in your life. The first message in our "Family Matters" series focuses on the fact that you matter, and why you matter! Your life begins to change when you accept that You matter because: You are chosen INTENTIONALLY by your Heavenly Father, you are known FULLY by your Heavenly Father, and you are loved UNCONDITIONALLY by your Heavenly Father.

God’s plans for your breakthrough involve supernatural intervention and natural participation. You can’t breakthrough without participating in God’s plan. You can't breakthrough without humility and you can’t breakthrough without praising God!

He can do the undoable, move the unmovable, change the unchangeable, heal the unhealable, stop the unstoppable, start the unstartable. God is a God of breakthrough. Because the Breaker is Rising, we can rise and enter into His breakthrough.

Breakthrough is an invitation for opportunity. BUT opportunities can be missed. What are God's invitations and opportunities before you today? Seek them, see them, and seize them. The beginning of a breakthrough is believing for a breakthrough!

E.G.R. What's it mean? EXTRA GRACE REQUIRED. We all know one and sometimes we are one! Pastor Sarah Huff encourages us to get into God's Word on this first Sunday of 2023 and remember the importance of receiving grace from God and giving grace to others. She shares personal stories and insights to help us see the beauty of grace and prayer on this New Year's Day.

This is the greatest gift: God gives Himself to us in the person of Jesus! He's not just a counselor: He's our Wonderful Counselor. He's not just God: He's our Mighty God. He's not just Father: He's our Everlasting Father. He's not just a Prince: He's our Prince of Peace. Jesus has come to be our personal helper, our practical helper, and a permanent helper.

Of all the characters in the Christmas story, Joseph got a pretty rough deal. He could have walked away and stolen Christmas like the Grinch. Some of us have quietly walked away from people who need a relationship with Jesus, or we've walked away from being involved in church. Instead of walking away, Joseph chose to get involved and because of that, he became part of the redemption of the world.

Are you dreaming of a Christmas that is merry and bright? God is inviting you to have a "White Christmas", where your sins are forgiven and you are set free. We don't need a Savior for our situations, we need a Savior for our souls ...and that's found in the person of Jesus Christ our Savior.

We're thrilled to have two of our Kingdom Builders with us on today's podcast. Their momentum to pierce the darkness depends on those sending them. Today, they share practical ways we can go, give, send, and pray for them. We can all either be senders or goers!

As recipients of God's generosity, we need to respond with generosity by sharing with others. Being generous means we exchange our presumptions for God's plan, exchange close-fisted living for open-handed living, and exchange our objections for obedience to God.

Blessing others powerfully conveys belonging, gives a eulogy in advance, and creates an atmosphere for a person to exceed their potential. Guest speaker Pastor Rob Rainville unpacks why the ancient way of blessing others is still needed today.

In a culture consumed with consuming and driven by selfishness, we can respond to Hell's greed with Heaven's generosity. Our first message in "A Blessed Life" series reminds us that a blessed life is an obedient life. When we bring to God what belongs to Him, we can live a life where financial stress is replaced with financial peace. We can live free from debt where we find joy in obediently giving to make a difference both now and in eternity. We can live a blessed life.

This Celebration Sunday we had the privilege of hearing from Suzanne Spolarich, one of our missionaries who serve in France. Suzanne inspires us to continue to pray, give, and go for the Kingdom of God.

When given access to excess, do we execute faithfulness like Joseph did? We have to remain humble, release our past, remember God's Providence, and rest in His promises.

The waiting season is an opportunity for deeper intimacy with God, an opportunity to invest in others, and an opportunity for an increase in your gifting.

You can't go to the top unless you've been tested. Stewardship is pleasing God with what little you have today so that you can be entrusted with much tomorrow.

For us to fulfill our destiny, we must make the right choices during our "determining season." Biblical prosperity is actually both spiritual and material: prioritize the presence of God in your life, and you will be blessed and become a blessing to others!

God gives us new insight when we go through doubting seasons: but we have to anticipate our exit and allow God to lift us out. Praise is our exit strategy!

Strength for every season is set in motion by a God-designed dream. God has designed a dream for everyone at every stage of life. He has left no one out: it's Dream Season!

Home is a place of belonging. Victory is a place where everyone is welcome, no one is perfect, and Jesus changes everything.
