IMPORTANT UPDATE

God is forever. I am a moment. Just like music has a time signature, the God who loves you has a time signature. He exists outside of time, and you exist inside time…but only for a brief time. God wants us to embrace the reality that we are temporal, life is measured, but He is everlasting. Open your Bible to Psalm 90 as Pastor James MacDonald instructs you in how to maximize your life.

The Clarity of What, Part 2

Have you considered the contrasting realities of God’s eternality and our mortality? God embraces the entirety of eternity all at once, and yet He is with us in the moment, giving to us each day an opportunity to grow in wisdom. Join Pastor James in Psalm 90 where we discover what God wants us to do with all of that.

The Clarity of What, Part 1

Death is Coming...Eternity will one day reveal that sometimes the best news is the bad news that opens up the way for the good news. If the bottom hadn’t fallen out of what you thought was rock bottom, would you ever have looked to the Lord the way you had? Death Is Certainly Coming Faster Than It Seems When Hiding Sin From The Wrathful God We Will Soon Answer To.

The Brevity of Me

God is Eternal, but why is that so significant? In this verse by verse study through Psalm 90, we are reminded that we all have regret. Situations we wish we had handled better, words we wish we hadn't said—things we can't go back and fix. And when regret is coupled with facing our own mortality, we begin to desperately need the reality of God’s eternality. Pastor James shares from the Scriptures how accepting the truth about God and His eternal nature can become your greatest comfort.

The Eternality of God

I'm Glad I'm Saved. Sometimes it can be hard to reconcile the events of life with a God who is paying attention. But even when I feel defeated. Even when I don't understand what's happening. I believe God. The final sermon in the series reveals 4 distinct joys of salvation.

Why I'm Glad I'm A Christian

God Is For You. If you are in Christ, He chose you. He called you. He Saved you. And one day, He will glorify you. No circumstances or people can thwart God's purpose in your life.

God Is For You

Hope is a ministry of God’s Spirit that meets us in the area of our greatest need. Hope is not escapism. It is God's sovereignty. Even when you can't pray. When you don't know what's best. In the moment when all you need is assurance, Romans 8 presents the key to hope.

How To Put Your Hope In God

Miracles in the Church? It's time we get back to that. Maybe you find yourself waiting on a miracle, but have you done everything necessary? Miracles happen when our expectant prayer line up with God's ultimate purpose. Today, God is making you spiritually fit to receive what he is already willing to do. Listen now to this message from John 2.

Reasons for Hope & Medicine for the Heart 

Hope is a ministry of God’s Spirit that meets us in the area of our greatest need. And equally as important as having an understanding of what hope is, we must recognize what hope is not.

Medicine For The Heart

Why Should I Change? God has made no provision for you to live the Christian life - only to live His life through you by the Holy Spirit. The Power to Change of Romans 8 is motivated change with its eyes set on "future glory."

Why Should I Change? Part1

Christians aren’t changing. And if anything is needed, it’s the power to change. In this message from the series “The Power to Change,” Pastor James MacDonald will move beyond what to change and how to change and show us from God’s Word why to change.

Why Should I Change? Part 2

Burdens are heavy.  That is no secret.
But what can I help someone else carry VS what they have to carry for themself?
What weight am I under that I have to carry VS what Jesus can carry for me?
The weight of “must carry” can only find rest by learning to carry like Jesus.
Jesus does not always take the weight away,  sometimes He offers a way to carry.

When It's Too Much To Carry

The Holy Spirit does not want any blood bought son or daughter of the living God, through faith in Jesus, to be wondering whether they’re in the family or not. And just as sure as you can know if you are in the family, you can know if you are filled with the Holy Spirit. Romans 8 gives us indicators and experiences that every Holy Spirit filled Christian can identify or evaluate in their own life.

How To Know If You Are Filled With The Holy Spirit | The Power to Change: Part 07

Am I saved? That's a question so many people wrestle with. And the way you live and think can be an indicator of whether or not the Holy Spirit dwells within you. Living in the Spirit has certain rewards. But living in the flesh has inevitable consequences. In Romans 8 we are challenged to "Get busy living or get busy dying."

How To Think Like A Christian [part 2]

How you think makes a difference. It is an outflow of walking in the flesh or walking in the Spirit. Do you find yourself in desire fulfillment mode? Or do you have the faith required to delay personal satisfaction as you chase the purposes of God? This sermon from Romans 8 will help you take your troubles out of the temporary context and put them in an eternal one.

How To Think Like A Christian [part 1]

Living by faith? What does that look like? Since Scripture clearly states you cannot please God without it, every believer is seeking to understand how to walk in it. Faith is not only the way into the Christian life, it is also the way forward. And if you are feeling a sense of hopelessness or defeat, what you really need is faith.

How To Live By Faith

Where and how we spend our time greatly varies from one person to the next.  Full time mom's schedules and skillsets look vastly different from that of a full time mechanic.  But there is one place where we all come together.  Every person who carries the name of Jesus bears a common calling.  Our Greatest Calling.

In 1 Samuel 16,  no one saw it coming when a common shepherd was anointed king, but God does not pay attention to the things we pay attention to.  What made such a commoner so extraordinary?  Tune in to this weekend's worship experience.

Our Highest Calling

God Still Heals. But, asking a sick person if they want to be healed seems like an insensitive question... to us. But for the hurting and hopeless, Jesus has a question. And not just any question. THE QUESTION. Do you want to be healed? Join Pastor James in John 5 for this Bible Study examining the question of Jesus and the response of the hearer. If you feel as though hope is lost, may this passage restore it to your heart.

Waiting For God To Move

The law can define righteousness. The law can demand righteousness. But the law cannot deliver change because the law isn't the problem. I am. 

In this week's study of Romans 8, you will begin to understand why this is one of the greatest chapters in the Bible for the believer. As John 3:16​ is to the lost, so is Romans 8 to the child of God. It reveals that victory is possible at greater depths than mere behavior, for God has made a way for change of the heart and mind.
