Childlike Humility
Greatness. We all strive for it don't we? In some way no one wants to die and simply be forgotten. When the early disciples were in a dispute about power and position in the kingdom of heaven, Jesus had to set them all straight. How? Find out in this week's sermon from Pastor David.
"He wants your heart!"
In Matthew 17, Jesus leads three of His disciples into a supernatural event. Jesus is transformed before their eyes from earthly Jesus to glorified Jesus. White as lightning, shining like the sun in all its glory, this change terrifies Peter, James, and John. But their response causes God the Father to speak to them from heaven. Jesus is the Lord of Glory, but He also is our Savior, and He will settle for no gift less than our hearts.
Deepening Trust in God
The religious leaders of Jesus' day, that confronted him, disputed his message, and demanded more miracles to convince them of His Messiah-ship, were experts at putting on a show for the crowd, but in private they were total fakes. A life that is deepening in trust in God seeks God's will to do good through them, seeks to be faithful to Jesus, and trusts in the power of the Holy Spirit to come through at just the right moments in life to make our sharing of Jesus' message powerful. We invite you to trust Jesus more today.

Jesus calls His disciples to Himself in the region of the decapolis as a crowd of over 4000 people has continued with Him for three days. They have almost run out of food and He isn't about to let them faint from hunger.
In the miracle of feeding them all from just seven loaves of bread and a few small fish we learn a divine secret. Everything He gives us is designed to share for the benefit of others, and in the sharing we get filled too.
How to Live:
Astonished Beyond Measure
Multitudes followed Jesus as He entered the region of Decapolis. Although He was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel He keeps finding faith in gentile territory. The words of the prophet Isaiah 35 leap off the pages of history onto the mountaintop where lame, mute, deaf, blind, and other hurting people are supernaturally healed by Jesus. The end result? They were astonished beyond measure (Mark 7) AND glorified the God of Israel (Matthew 15). Learn how enter into that kind of living in this week's message.
JESUS...
The Bread from Heaven
Jesus had a mission... to go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. So when He encountered a non-Israeli woman in dire need
what did He do?
What does His response to her teach us about great faith and true worship? We all have trouble in life, learn Jesus' answer to your troubles in this message about The Bread of Heaven.
The God of Pure Hearts
Jesus is the Word of God. He reserved His criticism for synagogue rulers who elevated their traditions above His commandments.
There was a bigger issue at stake though, if you can believe it. The words that were coming out of mouths of men and women claiming to know God betrayed a terrible truth... their hearts were far from God.
Do we have any control over our own hearts? Or are we helpless victims of a deceitful and wicked nature? You may be surprised to learn the truth.

As a mother, forgiveness is a crucial part of our role. We teach our children to apologize and make amends, but it's equally for us to model this. Forgiveness is a heavenly power, brought to us by Jesus. It can be difficult, but it's necessary for our own peace of mind and for the well of our relationships with our children. Join Pastor Heather as she shares how this has worked in her life.
Just Pray
After feeding multitudes with a miracle, Jesus sends the disciples across the sea by boat and dismisses the crowds. He then heads up on a mountain... alone. Long after midnight His followers are straining at the oars against the wind, not making any headway. They are tired and desperate. What could Jesus be doing? Why wasn't He helping them? Find out what was so important to Jesus that night and what happened next in this week's message.
Jesus' cousin John, the Baptist, exploded onto the scene of first century Israel with a singular purpose. To prepare the way for Jesus to be enthroned in Israel as the Messiah. His method? Preaching a simple message.
Repent. The kingdom of heaven is near. The Messiah is coming. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire.
When fire consumes, something's gotta go. If fire is purging evil from our lives, something's gotta go.
What's it gonna be?
Making costly decisions to obey the Lord will strengthen our trust in Him. John knew that well. He died believing and following.
Are you ready to let the Holy Spirit bring fire and change your focus from yourself to the Lord?
Our connection with Jesus is vital to heavenly living. Familiarity with Him however, can lead to offense.
Offense with Him can lead to unbelief.
In the end, our sense of wonder in God's Presence must be nurtured.
Learn how to cultivate childlike wonder in today's message from Matthew 13.
What does the Bible say about the end of all things?
When will it happen? How can you prepare?
Jesus has the answers to those questions and more.

Pass it on.
Christ died. He was buried. He arose. He appeared.
Can the good news that Jesus came to bring us really be that simple?
The undeniable fact of His resurrection is the cornerstone of Christianity, yet if we don't pass it on the kingdom of Heaven remains closed to millions.
So what are you going to do about it?
Ever see something and disbelieve it? We shake our heads and and say, "Did I just see that?" We look to the people next to us and ask them, "Did you just see that?"
Jesus entered Jerusalem on an undersized donkey, surrounded by a crowd, many of whom took off their own clothes to make a smooth path for Him. His fanfare was set to the praise of children singing... "Save now! Lord" To the religious, to the proud, this is ridiculous, but what Jesus did after that was even more so, watch to find out. :)

What do new and old christians have in common? Entering the priceless reality of the kingdom of heaven is beyond us all, unless we learn a simple truth Jesus taught in Matthew 13:44.

"Understanding"
As Jesus went about the land of ancient Israel sharing the word of His kingdom, he encountered many kinds of people. Some just didn't understand Him. Some thought they did, tried to follow, and fell away. Others quickly became discouraged and left. Some, however, discovered new life in Him, and became very productive. Find out how to stay filled with faith, hope, and love when everything around you wants to sow doubt, fear, and bitterness.
Matthew
11:7-14
Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
God's plan to save mankind is finally realized.
Jesus is about to throw open the doors to heaven.
Will you enter?
Pastor David Tanner
Matthew 11:25-30
Does God keep secrets? Did Jesus claim to be equal with God? Does God have anyone 'screening' His phone calls? The answers to these and more questions as Jesus shares with His disciples intimate details of His relationship to His Father, the Lord of the Universe.
Pastor David Tanner
Matthew 11:12-19
Jesus told us the 'violent' take His kingdom by force. Did He mean take up weapons and attack those you disagree with? And how should we pray for other nations in war?
Come and see.
Pastor David Tanner
Matthew
12:1-8
Mercy or sacrifice. Which does God value more?
One will always honor the Lord and the other one doesn't always. How do you tell the difference? This week Jesus teaches His disciples this and declares that He is greater in authority than men know.
Pastor David Tanner
Matthew 11:20-24
As He sends out His disciples to a wider area with God's message Jesus looks at where He has been so far. He is not satisfied.
The mighty works He had performed in three cities have not had their desired effect. Find out what that effect is AND what it means for us today in this week's message.
