The original Title to this message was "Living With Hope in a Divided Nation," but as the preparation went on it emerged into something else entirely. Pastor encourages the Body of Christ to remember that we are Ambassadors for Christ, representatives of the Kingdom of Heaven and the chief end of our lives is to glorify God.  We dare not join ourselves to darkness beause of any issue or political position. We must remain faithful to our calling. Challenge for living in a divided, profane culture. 

Pastor Bryan brings a very practical and exhortive message from the book of Hebrews. Grow up! Good Stuff to build you up in the faith.

Lessons from Lot - Pastor Bryan Gantt brings some important and challenging teaching from the Scriptures regarding the dangers of spiritual compromise. 

Our study of the great doctrines of the Apostle's Creed has brought us to Christmas morning and the great truth that Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit and Born of a Virgin.  Pastor Michael brings the first part of a two part message entitled, "Born of A Virgin" in which he answers an important question. "What Difference Does It Make?"  The truth of the Virgin Birth is one of the most basic beliefs of the Christian Church and important with regard to our view of the authority of Scriptures. This podcast also includes several minutes of our worship time. 

When David's sin with Bathsheba was exposed by Nathan, there was something else exposed - David's heart. His response to the revelation of his sin caused him to repsond to God as a man who was after God's heart.  His sin was exposed in 2 Samuel 12, but his heart was revealed in Psalm 51. Psalm 51 is the prayer of a guilty man, caught in his sin, and broken hearted - not because he got caught, but because he realized the full depravity of his own heart. David sinned when he called Bathsheba to his bed, but he was renewed when he pleaded for the Holy Spirit to come to his side and give him a new heart, a renewed spirit and a fresh start. Pastor Michael Gantt shares from his heart about the heart of David. Will YOU be a man or woman after God's heart?

You will be challenged and encouraged by this deep, deep teaching; "The Cost of Intercession".

Pastor Bryan Gantt continues in our series of teachings based upon the strong doctrinal statements of the Apostles Creed. Last week, he dealt with the difficult subject of Hell. But toay, we look in a different direction as we declare that "Heaven is Real!"  

Pastor Bryan Gantt continues in the series on the Apostles Creed and drawing upon the powerful doctrinal statements of that creed. The early church gave themselves "steadfastly" to the Apostle's teaching, and we are warned by the Apostle Paul that we are not only not to depart from the "traditions" and "patterns" of the faith, but that we are to guard them as one would guard a great and valuable treasure. Hell is not a popular message in today's church but the reality of Hell must not be ignored. This morning's message is "There Is A Hell".
