    Join us as we learn from the life of Job, the faithfulness of God and the promise He will never abandon His children. In uncertainty and pain, we learn to cling to truth instead of grappling to hold onto whatever makes us feel better. Truth sets us free, opens our eyes and challenges our souls, but it rarely "feels better". Job Kenny Nix   "...do what is right, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God." -Micah 6:8

    God is sovereign. The God we serve is not bound to our standards, rules or logic. He sees beyond the here and now. He has a redemptive plan that is still in motion. The work is finished, but the plan is still unfolding. There will come a day when we have no more questions. Until then, we can rejoice in the opportunity to be His people through His supernatural work alone.   Romans 8:28-39- 9:1-13; Genesis 17:15-21 Jameson Thacker

    Suffering is a way God draws us to Himself. Paul teaches us that our pain and suffering do not compare to the glory that will be revealed to us one day. Although life, relationships and even following Christ will bring suffering in life, we suffer with hope. We are full of the promises and certianty that nothing we endure this side of Heaven will compare to the joy that awaits the believer when we see Christ.    Romans 8:18-30; Genesis 3:16-19 Jameson Thacker

    In our continued series of "Romans", Paul teaches followers of Christ that sin no longer has control. Because the Holy Spirit dwells within the heart of the believer, we are no longer helpless to live in sin. If the Spirit of Christ has joined with our spirit, we belong to and are led by Him.   Romans 8:5-17; Mark 14:32-36 Jameson Thacker

    In our tenth part of the series "Romans", Paul plainly teaches we will be slaves to something in our heart. Whatever is driving our desires is what we are enslaved to. Whomever or whatever you are a slave to will determine your destination. If you have surrendered your heart to Christ, grace covers your sin and you are no longer controlled by it. The fruit of the Spirit produces a desire to exemplify the things of God.  Romans 6:15-23; Galatians 5:19-24 Jameson Thacker

    In our continued series "Romans", scripture tells us God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to every believer in Christ. Paul points us to look to Jesus who has done for us what we could not do for ourselves or anyone else. Through the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, we have been offered salvation and an eternal gift of redemption to God. Nothing can rip a follower of Jesus from His hand.   Romans 5:1-21 Jameson Thacker

    Continuing in our series "Romans", Paul appeals to his readers by explaining faith to them. Once we are believers in Christ, we are no longer bound by the law because we cannot follow the law without sin. Throughout scripture, we can clearly see men of faith, believers in Christ and those who were counted as righteous fell into sin. We sin because we are human. Our faith and surrender to Christ releases us from the bondage of sin. We have been made righteous through Jesus' resurrection and defeat of sin; our dead hearts have been made alive. Steadfast strength is not found within ourselves. When we put our weight against Him, it is counted as righteousness.    Romans 4:1-25; Psalm 51:1-5; 9-17 Jameson Thacker

    In part six of our continuing series "Romans", Paul tells us we are justified by faith. God's grace is not conditional. We do not have to bear the weight of our load alone. Christ is with us and we can trust in His faithfulness and His mercy to carry us.    Romans 3 Jameson Thacker

    In our continued series "Romans", Paul teaches Christ followers about the dangers of condeming people. When we feel we are in a place to look down on another person because they are sinful, we have to recognize we are sinners as well. Because of God's gracious mercy, He makes Himself known to us and calls all people to repentance. Christ came to show He is the way to be reconciled to God because all are drawn to sin.  Christ is our only hope, but we do have hope. He invites us to let go of ourselves and surrender fully to Him. There is complete freedom in full surrender to Jesus.    Romans 2:1-16; Luke 18:9-14 Kenny Nix

    When we give God our "yes", we are surrendering not only our lives to Him but our hearts, minds, and desires. It often looks different than we imagine and the timelines of God's plan rarely match our idea of what it should be.  Listen as our pastor, Kenny Nix takes us through a portion of his journey. As he explains, loving and serving our neighbors is what we are each called to do as Jesus did. When the Holy Spirit leads us in a new direction, we simply follow with our "yes" and trust the faithfulness of God while loving and serving others. John 13:31-35; John 16:16-33 Kenny Nix, Pastor

    In our continued series "Romans", Paul speaks about the perfect wrath of God. We often think of God's wrath in human terms, full of anger and revenge. In reality, God's wrath is perfectly righteous and just. He knew we could not keep all the laws and live with a pure heart without sin. God sent Christ to ultimately receive the full wrath for sin so we could be reconciled to Him. God's wrath, as harsh as it may seem, is not contradictory to His perfect love. It was out of love that Jesus was born to show the greatness of God throughout His life, and His death.  Romans 1:18-32 Jameson Thacker, Youth Pastor

    In part two of our series "Romans", Paul is plainly telling the church in Rome we do not choose our opportunities, God does. When God gives us opportunities to share the gospel, we step into what He calls us to do. We do not and will never have an excuse to keep the good news to ourselves. Because of the sacrifice of Christ and the freedom He has provided, we are indebted to carry the gospel to everyone, no exceptions. Relying on our faith in Jesus alone will produce endurance and lead us on the path of righteousness.    Romans 1:8-17 Jameson Thacker, Youth Pastor

    In our new series "Romans", Jameson walks us through the first chapter of Paul's letter to the Romans. Everything Paul speaks about goes back to Jesus. Our purpose, our mission and our lives. We live to proclaim the good news of Christ to this world.  As we walk through our lives today, our purpose is still not about "us". It is about taking up our cross and denying ourselves to proclaim the truth of the gospel.    Romans 1 Jameson Thacker, Youth Pastor

    As we conclude our series "Which Do You Want First?", we are faced with a story that poses a question each one of us has to grapple with at some point. "What do I have to do to inherit eternal life?". Jesus answers the man's question with all the things he had already done. Once the rich man was satisfied, Jesus addresses the real issue. This man's heart belonged to his money and, in order to fully surrender to God's wil,l he had to surrender his wealth.  In our lives, whatever owns our adoration, affection and heart is what Christ calls us to leave at His feet. We can not carry our cross and walk in the light of Jesus if our hands and heart are full of what we put before Him. The call of Christ is full surrender in exchange for a life beyond what we can see here. Free of boxes to check, we receive complete freedom in the new life He provides.   Luke 18:18-30; Psalm 52:1-6 Kenny Nix, Pastor

    In our continuing series, "Which Do You Want First?", we are reminded how easy it is to let others see Christ in us. We often complicate the gospel and try to find "fresh ways" to bring people to Christ. In actuality, one of the main ways to shine the light of Jesus so others can see His love is simply to emulate that love for ther believers like He did. He taught that loving is the greatest things we can do to show the world we belong to Him. Genuine love for one another will naturally draw people into the family of God. New believers need to be led by example by other Christ followers in loving one another and shining that love to the world. This will show more than anything else who leads our lives.    1 Corinthians 10:23-33 Kenny Nix, Pastor

    In part III of our series "Which Do You Want First?", we are reminded the touch of Jesus is always on time. We often feel alone or forgotten when deliverance or healing takes longer than we think it should. The man who was sick in this passage had waited for a miracle for 38 years. Everyone who knew him, knew of his condition. When Jesus healed him, everyone knew something changed him. His new life was proof to the world he had recieved a change he could not have made on his own.  When Jesus changes our heart of stone to a heart of flesh, everyone who knows us can see a new life we could not have given ourselves. The transformantion in the life of a believer is as drastic as that of a lame person being able to walk again.    John 5:1-15 Kenny Nix, Pastor

    In part two of our new series "Which Do You Want First?", Jameson compares what sometimes gets twisted from scripture to what the actual scripture says. Oftentimes, we hear a watered down truth because reality seems more abrasive or more difficult to digest. God's word is clear on His will for His children, but it is distorted many times. When you surrender your life to Christ, you understand the Holy Spirit brings joy, peace and love regardless of situations surrounding you. People outside of Jesus often rely on circumstances to bring happiness to their lives; temporary emotions only leave you feeling empty and alone. Christ died to share strength that carries us through and a joy that does not ebb and flow with what life can offer. Walking in the freedom only Jesus can give to your soul brings peace that can not be explained and rest only a raised life can experience.   Matthew 5:12; Romans 9:14-24; Isaiah 53:3-10; Revelation 2:7-10; Luke 9:58; Mark 16:1-8   Jameson Thacker, Youth Pastor
