Are you sensing a spiritual shortcircuit in your life as of
late? God's has equipped us with all we need. Consult
His instruction manual for a checkup of the 5 essentials
of a believer's life-recognize reasons we may fall short.
The seven ingredients for true success are virtue,
knowledge, self control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly
kindness, and love. Our usefulness depends on the increase
of these in our lives. What exactly do they mean?
Paul desires to pass along what he has learned of the Lord
through his own experience. His greatest lesson: we already
have all we need, we just need to discover it. God's
promises, how to use them. Receiving comfort. Escaping lust.
The world tells us that only the weak surrender. Yet 1 Peter 5:5-8 teaches us that surrender to God is a sign of strength, maturity, and trust. Pastor Mike Leger challenges us to humbly place our lives in God's hands and watch as He does the impossible.
Take courage, you are not alone. God is with you and the body of Christ is available to you. We were not designed to be alone. Be an example of Christ day in and day out. We must stick together as brothers and sisters in Christ.
Who is your enemy? Pride, discouragement, or anger can be your enemy. We can handle a trial if it's short, but when a long painful trial comes our way we can't find God anywhere. Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and He will lift you up.
Trials shouldn't surprise us. In this message, Pastor Jeff Denis teaches us about God's purpose for the trials in our lives. Just as a potter fashions clay into a beautiful work of art, trials are divinely designed to fashion and form us for God's work according to His perfect will.
Where do we measure up compared to the sluggard, the fool, and the prudent as described in scripture? What do we do with our time? Pastor Steve Williams brings a refreshing and challenging message to help us reflect on where we are and where God wants us.

Eric Purtic, director of the Ravi Zacharias School of Apologetics, teaches that stating your case about what you believe is crucial as a Christian. Not only will you influence the faith of others, but you'll also watch your own faith grow.
Pastor Bob discusses with Eric Purtic how to evangelize. What words and scripture work. Most asked questions from the nonbeliever. When you ask them about God, be prepared with answers and questions about what they believe.
