Bottom line: We claim the promise(s) of God in believing prayer. God is the promise keeper. Some promises are universal. Some are personal. Of those, some are unconditional and some are conditional. We claim the universal and conditional promises are of God in believing prayer. We learn from Elijah how to position ourselves alone in prayer, posture…

Bottom line: A together life is a better life. The church is a family. As a family we have relationships and connections that are vitally important.

Bottom line: Believe Jesus and you will have life eternally. Know Jesus more and more and you will experience life abundantly. John wrote his gospel to prove that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God and that by believing we would have eternal life. But if we know Jesus more and more as the Word of God, the Creator, the Light of Life, the Son of God,…

Bottom line: The sign of the resurrection proclaims we should believe in and be faithful to Jesus, the Son of God. The resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of our faith and should be rocket fuel for our faithfulness. After the disciples knew Jesus to be the "Resurrection and the Life," their faith never failed, floundered, or wavered. And their…

Bottom line: I see the Light as Jesus gives me sight. And Jesus comes into sight when I see the Light. In John 9, Jesus declares that He is the Light of the World, and then He performs a miracle that demonstrates He is spiritual light. He is not only the source of light; He is the One who gives the ability to receive and see the light.…

Bottom line: The experience of storms is not meant to batter us but to better us. God will use the storms of perfection to test, grow, and stretch our faith. He wants us to believe in WHO He is and trust Him what He will DO. In the storms of perfection we can experience extraordinary moments with Jesus, genuine worship of God, and encouragement fro…

Bottom line: Jesus can provide for our every need, and He is the provision for our greatest need. Every miracle has a message, and the message of the feeding of the 5,000 is that Jesus is the true bread of life. He doesn't just sustain physical life, He provides and gives eternal life. We must feed on him (i.e. believe and trust in him) and appropr…

Bottom line: Only God's grace can change us and give us true life. Every miracle has a message. The message of the healing of the man at the pool of Bethesda is that only God's grace can change us and give us life. Jesus healed this man totally by grace. Jesus sought to woo this man to place faith in Him as Savior. Just as this man could do nothing…

Bottom line: Jesus grows our faith to believe in Him beyond the limitation of what we believe about Him. Jesus grew the Nobleman's faith from believing in something, to believing in something more, to believing in someone (i.e. Himself). He moved his faith from believing in the "do" of Jesus to the "who" of Jesus. This man became a believer in Jesu…

Bottom line: Faithful and fruitful servants will receive eternal and valuable reward. One day every believer will stand before Jesus, the righteous judge, to have our works revealed and examined. Our sin was forever judged on the cross. Our salvation is 100% because of Jesus' finished work of the cross. However, our works will be judged to determin…

Bottom line: Share Jesus with the lost because you care. Share the lost with Jesus in prayer. God works to put believers and non-believers in proximity to one another in the context of life so that the gospel message can be shared and received. Let's share His story. Let's share our story. Let's share what another's story can be. And let's share ot…

Bottom line: I serve Jesus because He served me. Jesus saved us to serve. He motivates us with greatness to serve. And in faithfulness we choose to serve. When we choose to serve we grow. When we choose to serve we do something significant. When we choose to serve, we serve Jesus.By Pastor Chad Thompson

Bottom line: Our faithful listening leads to our fruitfulness increasing. In the parable of the sower, Jesus talks about a farmer who goes forth sowing seed. The thing that determined if the seed would bear fruit or not was the condition of the soil. He then correlates that spiritually to the seed of God’s Word and our willingness or unwillingness …
