A famous Christian author wrote that the world’s major religions have eight major themes, eight commandments in common. That list included loving others… respecting others… and being honest… 

among other ethical standards. So in light of those eight commandments, what makes Christianity so 

different?

A lot of strange things happen in the name of Religion. Behavior that is just odd. Faces of religious icons appearing in random places. Fanatical rules and restrictions to follow in order to be 'good'.  Are all of these misguided attempts to connect with God? Do we try too hard to make sense of
something so big and mysterious? How is what Jesus offers any different?

It happens again and again: people go through the most difficult circumstances imaginable, and come out on the other side with rock-solid, unshakable faith.

     As they describe their stories later, they say, "I wouldn't have signed up for it; I wouldn't choose to go through it again; and I wouldn't wish it on anybody else. But God did something in the middle of those circumstances that I don't think he could have done any other way."

    Our faith is permanently impacted by these big, bad, bold, unexpected circumstances. And that's not accidental; it's intentional on God's part.

God builds our faith through personal ministry opportunities--
those times when we're aware of a certain need others have,
and we can't escape the sense that God's telling us, "I want
you involved in meeting that need."

We naturally resist discipline. Recognizing that and meeting it head-on is good, because faith is like a muscle; the more you exercise it-stretch it, exhaust it-the stronger it becomes.

Our faith grows when we listen to biblical teaching that is
meaningful, practical, and applicable to everyday life and
then respond to it with action.
"Unapplied truth is like paint. It doesn't do anybody any good
until it is applied." We can be the most learned of believers,
but if our knowledge doesn't move us toward application,
our faith will wither.

Do you know people whose faith in God is so strong that you could sometimesdescribe it as amazing?What is it that makes their confidence in God so strong? God wants to take us to a new level of big faith-extraordinary trust and confidence in him. God is honored and thrilled by our faith. So what is it that will grow our faith so he'll be increasingly honored?
God uses five primary ways to expand our faith: (1) practical teaching from the Bible, (2) providential relationships, (3) private disciplines (4) personal ministry, and (5) pivotal circumstances.

Many people in our world have a similar experience. They have come to a pointin their lives where they feel that they have lost faith in God. They maybe were raised Catholic, Baptist, Jewish etc., but they have come to a place where theirreligious faith seems empty and without hope. They feel that religious leaders aretrying to control them rather than lead them to freedom in a personal relationship with God. Jesus wants us to know that the starting point of faith in him is forgiveness. He doesn't want to control us, he wants to restore us.

Nobody likes sitting in a waiting room. The chairs are uncomfortable. The magazines are out-of-date. The 
coffee is stale. And with each passing minute, sitting there waiting for your name to be called, you get a 
disturbing sense that you've been forgotten. But is that really the case? In life's waiting room, have you 
been forgotten, or is all this waiting part of a larger plan?

You live according to your conscience. It dictates your thinking of what you ought and ought not to do.  Likewise, family units have a corporate conscience. Large and small organizations have a conscience.  Fortune 500 companies have a conscience. But is there such a thing as a national conscience? If so, what governs the national conscience of the United States of America? Popular demand? Or is there something else governing Our National Conscience?    

 

“Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law 

for themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the requirements of the law are 

written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now 

even defending them.”

…"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" 1 Corinthians 2:9.

Satan wants us to believe the lies that Heaven can wait and that Heaven is our default destination. Satan wants us to focus on life today with no thought of the future with God. He wants us to think that we will not go to Hell unless we do something horrific. The scripture shows that these are false ideas. 

This weekend we will see that God plans to make a new heaven and a new earth, he will do away with death and the old order of things. He will live with man and complete His plan to dwell with us forever.

Today we’re going to hear first hand…the impact Christians can have when they give of their time and of their hearts to show compassion on the lost and hurting people of this world.  Saying you are a Christ follower and actually living it are two entirely different things.  You must have an outflow of Christ’s love in order to make a difference in the lives of people and the Kingdom of God.

How are we supposed to remain hopeful in a hopelessly broken world? We want to be hopeful, but when 
relationships sour, stock prices tumble, dreams disappear, and plans crumble, hope can be hard to come 
by. In a world without guarantees, hope can be a dangerous thing. But what if the tension we feel is the 
result of putting our hope in the wrong things? What if God has a different plan for us—a plan built on his 
unfailing love?

Last week, we said that God is at work even in uncertain times. It is good to know that he is 
working, but what should we be doing? How should we live in the midst of uncertainty? How can we 
keep from being overwhelmed by the fears and insecurities that often go hand in hand with uncertainty? 
God has a plan, and his plan is to replace our anxieties with peace.

Uncertainty. As a society, we live in a world of uncertainty. Uncertain social conditions. Uncertain economic times. Uncertain global developments. Yet uncertainty is nothing new. The characters in the Bible experienced wildly fluctuating levels of uncertainty. . . often feeling as if life was moving backwards, getting worse. And the questions remain the same. Where's God? Is he going to show up? Is he still in control?

Some of the brightest moments in our lives are the result of brokenness. When we can see that God is working through undesirable circumstances - even the ones we bring on ourselves - there is a sense of purpose and peace that emerges. Knowing that God is still active during uncertain times allows us to maintain hope and faith and keeps us from despair. We can rest knowing that God has not abandoned us . . . and that he's still in control.

Jesus body wasn't just a figment of the imagination or the

On the other hand, his body wasn't merely a restored human body

Jesus resurrected body was immortal. This is the kind of body we 
will be given in Eternity.

Easter Sunday, April 12, 2009
Message by Pastor Ken Harvey
Luke 23:50-24:12, Acts 2:22-24, 32, 36-41

In our celebration of Easter we tend to lose sight of what Easter is
really about. It's not about bunnies, baby chicks, easter egg hunts,
colored eggs, chocolate, pretty dresses and fancy clothes. It's not 
even a celebration of Christianity, or the teachings of Jesus. 

It is celebrating a specific  historic event . It is about the resurrection
of Jesus from the grave. God brought Jesus back to Life! Death is 
conquered. Sin is paid for in full. We have opportunity to receive
forgiveness and life as a free gift from God. We have a right standing
with God from God because Jesus gave his life for us.

The most important event in human history was about to take place.
Jesus, as the spotless Lamb of God, would give his life in order to
save his people from the penalty of death brought by sin. Even though
he would face extreme anguish and agony, he would not give up or give
in. He went ahead with the mission for which he had come. The way to 
the kingdom is the way of the cross.

The story of Zacchaeus is by far one of the most interesting stories in the life of Jesus.  In only ten verses we receive a story filled with rich description, one that can’t help but become a short movie within the imagination of all who read it.  But at the same time that the story of Zacchaeus offers us something, it also beckons us to something.  The story of Zacchaeus is not so much about a little man in a tree as it is about our relationship with the despised, discarded, and ignored of our world.  Relationship? Jesus’ point exactly.

Bible Ref.: Luke 16:1-18

The bible is full of great, heart warming stories from Jesus.  There’s the story of the little cute lost sheep, and the one about the father and son embracing after the son was lost to his perilous ways. And don’t forget the tear-jerking story about the scandal in the work place.  Wait, that doesn’t fit.  Or does it?

We find in Luke chapter 16 a story told by Jesus that is different than any other story.  A story of scandal, dishonesty and superior intellect.  The question is, how does Jesus plan on using such a questionable story to communicate a Godly truth?  Can it be done?

Luke 15:1-31

These three parables reveal God as a Searching Father, looking for the lost, actively seeking them, and rejoicing when they are found. An essential part of God's character is about extending mercy to the undeserving -- not only those who happen to mess up , but an active program of seeking out the hurting and oppressed, the blind and the imprisoned . That is the message of the cross, the message of active love.

People should be sure they have responded to the one
who brings in the kingdom. It is easy to think we auto-
matically qualify-- by birth, by cultural connection, or by
heritage. But to Jesus, a relationship with God is personal 
in nature and means setting ourselves apart to follow him.
The door remains open individually for everyone. It is an 
equal-opportunity road, with access to all who take it, but 
the route is marked out by God, not by us. He wants people
to consciously enter into relationship with him, aware of
their sins and shortcomings, their need for God, and the 
salvation Jesus has achieved for them.

Our wealth opens up choices for us that allow us to pursue our own interests
in a variety of ways. Such pursuits can easily keep us from using resources
in a way most honoring to God. Jesus is not condemning wealth as such, but
its use. How do we use what God  has given us? Do we seek to pile up
 treasure for ourselves? Is generosity our habit? Or does compassion take a
back seat to our personal desires? The questions raised here are timeless.

Discipleship is not a casual affair to Jesus. In a series of three encounters, Jesus shows the high priority he places on discipleship.  It is not an accident that this teaching follows a passage that centered on rejection. Part of  what makes following Jesus so demanding is the fact that some type of rejection is given for the believer. Following Jesus takes focused commitment.  Kingdom preaching is an urgent task for followers of Jesus.

Bible Ref.: Luke 9:18-27

The Christian faith goes beyond knowing what others believe. It requires us to hold beliefs for ourselves. When Jesus asks, "Who do you say I am?" he wants us to take a stand, Who do you say Jesus is?  People are willing to pay a high price for something they value. Is it any surprise that Jesus would demand this much commitment from his followers? There are at least
three conditions that must be met by people who want to follow Jesus. We must be willing to deny self, to take up our crosses, and to follow him. Anything less is superficial lip service.

The feeding of the five thousand is the only miracle recorded in all four Gospels. The miracle shows how Jesus meets needs. A key to this miracle is that the provision comes through the disciples. Jesus had just commissioned them to share the kingdom message. They needed to be aware of what they could do through Christ. Jesus shows them that they have access to his authority through his enablement. What about us? What would happen if we trusted Jesus with our resources? How would that change us?

William Barclay once said."The one thing which shuts a man off from God is self-sufficiency. And the strange thing is that the better a man is the more he feels his sin. Paul could speak of sinners "of whom I am chief" (2 Timothy 1:15). It is true to say that the greatest  of sins is to be conscious of no sin; but a sense of need will open the door to the forgiveness of God, because God is love, and love's greatest glory is to be needed."

The greatest event in history had just happened! The Messiah had been born! For ages the Jews had waited for this, and when it finally occurred, the announcement came to humble shepherds.  The good news about Jesus is that he comes to all, including the plain and the ordinary. He comes to anyone with a heart humble enough to accept him. Whoever you are, whatever you do, you can have Jesus in your life. Don't think you need extraordinary qualifications.  He accepts you as you are.

Bible Ref.: Luke 1:5-38

God sent the angel Gabriel to announce to Zechariah that He and his wife Elizabeth would have a son born to them and to Mary that she would give birth to Jesus the Savior of the world. Both were miracle births. Zechariah and Elizabeth were past child bearing years and Mary was a virgin. Zechariah expressed doubt that this could be, yet he was obedient. Mary was young, poor, and female. In her culture, she would seem to be unusable by God for any major task. But God chose Mary 
for one of the most important acts of obedience he has ever demanded of anyone. What we will see this weekend, is that God can use you if you trust him.

Bible Ref.: Hebrews 11:1, Luke 7:1-17

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."  Two words describe faith: sure and certain. These two qualities need a secure beginning and ending point. The beginning point of faith is believing in God's character-he is who he says. The end point is believing in God's promises-he will do what he says. When we believe that God will fulfill his promises even though we don't see those promises materializing yet, we demonstrate true faith.

The story of the widow's son illustrates salvation. The whole world was dead in sin, just as the widow's son was dead. But God had compassion on us, and he sent Jesus to raise us to life with him. Accept God's gift of life, praise God for it, and use your life to do his will.

Message by:  Pastor Ken Harvey
Bible Ref.: Luke 6:39-49

Jesus reminds us that we need to follow the right teachers, and to not be critical of others.  He reminds us that our speech  and actions reveal the true underlying beliefs, attitudes, and motivations in our lives. Obeying God is like building a house on a solid foundation that stands firm when storms come. Be sure your life is built on the solid foundation of knowing and trusting Jesus Christ.

Looking for God in all the wrong places.
Sunday, August 23, 2009
Message by:  Pastor Ken Harvey

Many people in our world have a similar experience. They have come to a pointin their lives where they feel that they have lost faith in God. They maybe were raised Catholic, Baptist, Jewish etc., but they have come to a place where theirreligious faith seems empty and without hope. They feel that religious leaders aretrying to control them rather than lead them to freedom in a personal relationship with God. Jesus wants us to know that the starting point of faith in him is forgiveness. He doesn't want to control us, he wants to restore us.

Have You Forgotten Me God?
Sunday, July 26, 2009
Message by:  Senior Pastor, Ken Harvey

Nobody likes sitting in a waiting room. The chairs are uncomfortable. The magazines are out-of-date. The 
coffee is stale. And with each passing minute, sitting there waiting for your name to be called, you get a 
disturbing sense that you've been forgotten. But is that really the case? In life's waiting room, have you 
been forgotten, or is all this waiting part of a larger plan?

Our National Conscience
Sunday, July 5, 2009
Message by:  Pastor Ken Harvey

It happens again and again: people go through the most difficult circumstances imaginable, and come out on the other side with rock-solid, unshakable faith.

     As they describe their stories later, they say, "I wouldn't have signed up for it; I wouldn't choose to go through it again; and I wouldn't wish it on anybody else. But God did something in the middle of those circumstances that I don't think he could have done any other way."

    Our faith is permanently impacted by these big, bad, bold, unexpected circumstances. And that's not accidental; it's intentional on God's part.

Five Things God Uses to Grow Our Faith - Personal Ministry
Sunday, November 1, 2009
Message by:  Pastor Ken Harvey

God builds our faith through personal ministry opportunities--
those times when we're aware of a certain need others have,
and we can't escape the sense that God's telling us, "I want
you involved in meeting that need."

Five Things God Uses to Grow Our Faith - Private Disciplines

We naturally resist discipline. Recognizing that and meeting it head-on is good, because faith is like a muscle; the more you exercise it-stretch it, exhaust it-the stronger it becomes.

Five Things God Uses to Grow Our Faith - Practical Teaching
Sunday, October 11, 2009
Message by:  Pastor Ken Harvey

Our faith grows when we listen to biblical teaching that is
meaningful, practical, and applicable to everyday life and
then respond to it with action.
"Unapplied truth is like paint. It doesn't do anybody any good
until it is applied." We can be the most learned of believers,
but if our knowledge doesn't move us toward application,
our faith will wither.

Five Things God Uses to Grow Our Faith - BIG FAITH
Sunday, September 27, 2009
Message by:  Ken Harvey

Do you know people whose faith in God is so strong that you could sometimesdescribe it as amazing?What is it that makes their confidence in God so strong? God wants to take us to a new level of big faith-extraordinary trust and confidence in him. God is honored and thrilled by our faith. So what is it that will grow our faith so he'll be increasingly honored?
God uses five primary ways to expand our faith: (1) practical teaching from the Bible, (2) providential relationships, (3) private disciplines (4) personal ministry, and (5) pivotal circumstances.

A famous Christian author wrote that the world’s major religions have eight major themes, eight commandments in common. That list included loving others… respecting others… and being honest… 

among other ethical standards. So in light of those eight commandments, what makes Christianity so

Covering All the Bases
Sunday, September 6, 2009
Message by:  Ken Harvey

A lot of strange things happen in the name of Religion. Behavior that is just odd. Faces of religious icons appearing in random places. Fanatical rules and restrictions to follow in order to be 'good'.  Are all of these misguided attempts to connect with God? Do we try too hard to make sense of
something so big and mysterious? How is what Jesus offers any different?

Our National Conscience
Sunday, July 5, 2009
Message by:  Pastor Ken Harvey

You live according to your conscience. It dictates your thinking of what you ought and ought not to do.  Likewise, family units have a corporate conscience. Large and small organizations have a conscience.  Fortune 500 companies have a conscience. But is there such a thing as a national conscience? If so, what governs the national conscience of the United States of America? Popular demand? Or is there something else governing Our National Conscience?    

 

“Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law 

for themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the requirements of the law are 

written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now 

even defending them.” 

Romans 2:14-15

So You're Dead, Now What? Part Three: Heaven
Sunday, June 21, 2009
Message by:  Ken Harvey

…"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" 1 Corinthians 2:9.

Satan wants us to believe the lies that Heaven can wait and that Heaven is our default destination. Satan wants us to focus on life today with no thought of the future with God. He wants us to think that we will not go to Hell unless we do something horrific. The scripture shows that these are false ideas. 

This weekend we will see that God plans to make a new heaven and a new earth, he will do away with death and the old order of things. He will live with man and complete His plan to dwell with us forever.

Special Message for Communion:  Jeff Peters
Message by:  Pastor Rob Gepford

Today we’re going to hear first hand…the impact Christians can have when they give of their time and of their hearts to show compassion on the lost and hurting people of this world.  Saying you are a Christ follower and actually living it are two entirely different things.  You must have an outflow of Christ’s love in order to make a difference in the lives of people and the Kingdom of God.

Hope
Sunday, May 10, 2009
Message by:  Ken Harvey

How are we supposed to remain hopeful in a hopelessly broken world? We want to be hopeful, but when 
relationships sour, stock prices tumble, dreams disappear, and plans crumble, hope can be hard to come 
by. In a world without guarantees, hope can be a dangerous thing. But what if the tension we feel is the 
result of putting our hope in the wrong things? What if God has a different plan for us—a plan built on his 
unfailing love?

Experiencing God's Peace
Sunday, May 3, 2009
Message By:  Pastor Ken Harvey

Last week, we said that God is at work even in uncertain times. It is good to know that he is 
working, but what should we be doing? How should we live in the midst of uncertainty? How can we 
keep from being overwhelmed by the fears and insecurities that often go hand in hand with uncertainty? 
God has a plan, and his plan is to replace our anxieties with peace.

Uncertain Times
Sunday, April 26, 2009
Message by:  Pastor Ken Harvey

Uncertainty. As a society, we live in a world of uncertainty. Uncertain social conditions. Uncertain economic times. Uncertain global developments. Yet uncertainty is nothing new. The characters in the Bible experienced wildly fluctuating levels of uncertainty. . . often feeling as if life was moving backwards, getting worse. And the questions remain the same. Where's God? Is he going to show up? Is he still in control?

Some of the brightest moments in our lives are the result of brokenness. When we can see that God is working through undesirable circumstances - even the ones we bring on ourselves - there is a sense of purpose and peace that emerges. Knowing that God is still active during uncertain times allows us to maintain hope and faith and keeps us from despair. We can rest knowing that God has not abandoned us . . . and that he's still in control.

Bible Ref.: Luke 24:36-49, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17

Jesus body wasn't just a figment of the imagination or the 
appearance of a ghost--the disciples touched him, and he ate food.
On the other hand, his body wasn't merely a restored human body
like Lazarus's (John 11)-- he was able to appear and disappear.
Jesus resurrected body was immortal. This is the kind of body we 
will be given in Eternity.

Jesus: This Changes Everything
Easter Sunday, April 12, 2009
Message by Pastor Ken Harvey
Luke 23:50-24:12, Acts 2:22-24, 32, 36-41

In our celebration of Easter we tend to lose sight of what Easter is
really about. It's not about bunnies, baby chicks, easter egg hunts,
colored eggs, chocolate, pretty dresses and fancy clothes. It's not 
even a celebration of Christianity, or the teachings of Jesus. 

It is celebrating a specific  historic event . It is about the resurrection
of Jesus from the grave. God brought Jesus back to Life! Death is 
conquered. Sin is paid for in full. We have opportunity to receive
forgiveness and life as a free gift from God. We have a right standing
with God from God because Jesus gave his life for us.

Bible Ref.: Luke 22:7-23:25

The most important event in human history was about to take place.
Jesus, as the spotless Lamb of God, would give his life in order to
save his people from the penalty of death brought by sin. Even though
he would face extreme anguish and agony, he would not give up or give
in. He went ahead with the mission for which he had come. The way to 
the kingdom is the way of the cross.

Jesus: Lookout for the little guy
Sunday, March 29, 2009
Message by:  Pastor Neal Thorne

The story of Zacchaeus is by far one of the most interesting stories in the life of Jesus.  In only ten verses we receive a story filled with rich description, one that can’t help but become a short movie within the imagination of all who read it.  But at the same time that the story of Zacchaeus offers us something, it also beckons us to something.  The story of Zacchaeus is not so much about a little man in a tree as it is about our relationship with the despised, discarded, and ignored of our world.  Relationship? Jesus’ point exactly.

Jesus: The Shrewd Manager
Sunday, March 22, 2009
Message by:  Pastor Neal Thorne
Bible Ref.: Luke 16:1-18

The bible is full of great, heart warming stories from Jesus.  There’s the story of the little cute lost sheep, and the one about the father and son embracing after the son was lost to his perilous ways. And don’t forget the tear-jerking story about the scandal in the work place.  Wait, that doesn’t fit.  Or does it?

We find in Luke chapter 16 a story told by Jesus that is different than any other story.  A story of scandal, dishonesty and superior intellect.  The question is, how does Jesus plan on using such a questionable story to communicate a Godly truth?  Can it be done?

Jesus: Lost
Sunday, March 15, 2009
Message By:  Pastor Ken Harvey
Luke 15:1-31

These three parables reveal God as a Searching Father, looking for the lost, actively seeking them, and rejoicing when they are found. An essential part of God's character is about extending mercy to the undeserving -- not only those who happen to mess up , but an active program of seeking out the hurting and oppressed, the blind and the imprisoned . That is the message of the cross, the message of active love.

Jesus: Everyone's Invited, Few Get In
Sunday, March 8, 2009
Message by:  Ken Harvey

People should be sure they have responded to the one
who brings in the kingdom. It is easy to think we auto-
matically qualify-- by birth, by cultural connection, or by
heritage. But to Jesus, a relationship with God is personal 
in nature and means setting ourselves apart to follow him.
The door remains open individually for everyone. It is an 
equal-opportunity road, with access to all who take it, but 
the route is marked out by God, not by us. He wants people
to consciously enter into relationship with him, aware of
their sins and shortcomings, their need for God, and the 
salvation Jesus has achieved for them.

Jesus: Be Rich Towards God
Sunday, March 1, 2009
Message by:  Pastor Ken Harvey

Our wealth opens up choices for us that allow us to pursue our own interests
in a variety of ways. Such pursuits can easily keep us from using resources
in a way most honoring to God. Jesus is not condemning wealth as such, but
its use. How do we use what God  has given us? Do we seek to pile up
 treasure for ourselves? Is generosity our habit? Or does compassion take a
back seat to our personal desires? The questions raised here are timeless.

Jesus: Who Is My Neighbor?
Sunday, February 22, 2009
Message by: Ken Harvey
Luke 10:25-37

The story of the good Samaritan wonderfully illustrates Jesus' capacity for turning an abstract theological discussion into a discourse on real life issues. His encounter with this lawyer reveals how he does not allow distinctions to be made when it comes to the treatment of people. There are no easy escapes for failing  to serve and be a neighbor

Jesus: The Cost of Following Jesus
Sunday, February 15, 2009
Message by:  Pastor Ken Harvey
Bible Ref.: Luke 9:57-62

Discipleship is not a casual affair to Jesus. In a series of three encounters, Jesus shows the high priority he places on discipleship.  It is not an accident that this teaching follows a passage that centered on rejection. Part of  what makes following Jesus so demanding is the fact that some type of rejection is given for the believer. Following Jesus takes focused commitment.  Kingdom preaching is an urgent task for followers of Jesus.

Jesus: Who do you say that I am?
Sunday, February 8, 2009
Message By:  Pastor Ken Harvey
Bible Ref.: Luke 9:18-27

The Christian faith goes beyond knowing what others believe. It requires us to hold beliefs for ourselves. When Jesus asks, "Who do you say I am?" he wants us to take a stand, Who do you say Jesus is?  People are willing to pay a high price for something they value. Is it any surprise that Jesus would demand this much commitment from his followers? There are at least
three conditions that must be met by people who want to follow Jesus. We must be willing to deny self, to take up our crosses, and to follow him. Anything less is superficial lip service.

Jesus: More than Enough
Sunday, February 1, 2009
Message by:  Pastor Ken Harvey
Bible Ref.: Luke 9: 10-17

The feeding of the five thousand is the only miracle recorded in all four Gospels. The miracle shows how Jesus meets needs. A key to this miracle is that the provision comes through the disciples. Jesus had just commissioned them to share the kingdom message. They needed to be aware of what they could do through Christ. Jesus shows them that they have access to his authority through his enablement. What about us? What would happen if we trusted Jesus with our resources? How would that change us?

Much nearer home, that very tendency makes us selfishly demand our

Jesus: The Anointed One
Sunday, January 4, 2009
Message by:  Pastor Ken Harvey
Bible Ref.: Luke 7:36-50

William Barclay once said."The one thing which shuts a man off from God is self-sufficiency. And the strange thing is that the better a man is the more he feels his sin. Paul could speak of sinners "of whom I am chief" (2 Timothy 1:15). It is true to say that the greatest  of sins is to be conscious of no sin; but a sense of need will open the door to the forgiveness of God, because God is love, and love's greatest glory is to be needed."

Jesus: Our King is Born!
Sunday, December 28, 2008
Message by:  Pastor Ken Harvey
Bible Ref.: Luke 2:1-20

The greatest event in history had just happened! The Messiah had been born! For ages the Jews had waited for this, and when it finally occurred, the announcement came to humble shepherds.  The good news about Jesus is that he comes to all, including the plain and the ordinary. He comes to anyone with a heart humble enough to accept him. Whoever you are, whatever you do, you can have Jesus in your life. Don't think you need extraordinary qualifications.  He accepts you as you are.

Jesus: Birth Announcements

Sunday, December 14, 2008
Message by:  Ken Harvey

Bible Ref.: Luke 1:5-38

God sent the angel Gabriel to announce to Zechariah that He and his wife Elizabeth would have a son born to them and to Mary that she would give birth to Jesus the Savior of the world. Both were miracle births. Zechariah and Elizabeth were past child bearing years and Mary was a virgin. Zechariah expressed doubt that this could be, yet he was obedient. Mary was young, poor, and female. In her culture, she would seem to be unusable by God for any major task. But God chose Mary 
for one of the most important acts of obedience he has ever demanded of anyone. What we will see this weekend, is that God can use you if you trust him.

Jesus: Pictures of Faith and Salvation

Sunday, December 7, 2008
Message by:  Pastor Ken Harvey

Bible Ref.: Hebrews 11:1, Luke 7:1-17

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."  Two words describe faith: sure and certain. These two qualities need a secure beginning and ending point. The beginning point of faith is believing in God's character-he is who he says. The end point is believing in God's promises-he will do what he says. When we believe that God will fulfill his promises even though we don't see those promises materializing yet, we demonstrate true faith.

The story of the widow's son illustrates salvation. The whole world was dead in sin, just as the widow's son was dead. But God had compassion on us, and he sent Jesus to raise us to life with him. Accept God's gift of life, praise God for it, and use your life to do his will.

Jesus: So Did Ya Hear About the Guy With the Plank In His Eye?
Sunday, November 30, 2008
Message by:  Pastor Ken Harvey
Bible Ref.: Luke 6:39-49

Jesus reminds us that we need to follow the right teachers, and to not be critical of others.  He reminds us that our speech  and actions reveal the true underlying beliefs, attitudes, and motivations in our lives. Obeying God is like building a house on a solid foundation that stands firm when storms come. Be sure your life is built on the solid foundation of knowing and trusting Jesus Christ.

You live according to your conscience. It dictates your thinking of what you ought and ought not to do.  Likewise, family units have a corporate conscience. Large and small organizations have a conscience.  Fortune 500 companies have a conscience. But is there such a thing as a national conscience? If so, what governs the national conscience of the United States of America? Popular demand? Or is there something else governing Our National Conscience?

Satan wants us to believe the lies that Heaven can wait and that Heaven is our default destination. Satan wants us to focus on life today with no thought of the future with God. He wants us to think that we will not go to Hell unless we do something horrific. The scripture shows that these are false ideas. 

This weekend we will see that God plans to make a new heaven and a new earth, he will do away with death and the old order of things. He will live with man and complete His plan to dwell with us forever.

Special Message for Communion:  Jeff Peters
Message by:  Pastor Rob Gepford

It happens again and again: people go through the most difficult circumstances imaginable, and come out on the other side with rock-solid, unshakable faith.

     As they describe their stories later, they say, "I wouldn't have signed up for it; I wouldn't choose to go through it again; and I wouldn't wish it on anybody else. But God did something in the middle of those circumstances that I don't think he could have done any other way."

    Our faith is permanently impacted by these big, bad, bold, unexpected circumstances. And that's not accidental; it's intentional on God's part.

Our faith grows when we listen to biblical teaching that is
meaningful, practical, and applicable to everyday life and
then respond to it with action.
"Unapplied truth is like paint. It doesn't do anybody any good
until it is applied." We can be the most learned of believers,
but if our knowledge doesn't move us toward application,
our faith will wither.

Do you know people whose faith in God is so strong that you could sometimesdescribe it as amazing?What is it that makes their confidence in God so strong? God wants to take us to a new level of big faith-extraordinary trust and confidence in him. God is honored and thrilled by our faith. So what is it that will grow our faith so he'll be increasingly honored?
God uses five primary ways to expand our faith: (1) practical teaching from the Bible, (2) providential relationships, (3) private disciplines (4) personal ministry, and (5) pivotal circumstances.

A lot of strange things happen in the name of Religion. Behavior that is just odd. Faces of religious icons appearing in random places. Fanatical rules and restrictions to follow in order to be 'good'.  Are all of these misguided attempts to connect with God? Do we try too hard to make sense of

Many people in our world have a similar experience. They have come to a pointin their lives where they feel that they have lost faith in God. They maybe were raised Catholic, Baptist, Jewish etc., but they have come to a place where theirreligious faith seems empty and without hope. They feel that religious leaders aretrying to control them rather than lead them to freedom in a personal relationship with God. Jesus wants us to know that the starting point of faith in him is forgiveness. He doesn't want to control us, he wants to restore us.

coffee is stale. And with each passing minute, sitting there waiting for your name to be called, you get a

How are we supposed to remain hopeful in a hopelessly broken world? We want to be hopeful, but when 
relationships sour, stock prices tumble, dreams disappear, and plans crumble, hope can be hard to come 
by. In a world without guarantees, hope can be a dangerous thing. But what if the tension we feel is the 
result of putting our hope in the wrong things? What if God has a different plan for us—a plan built on his 
unfailing love?

working, but what should we be doing? How should we live in the midst of uncertainty? How can we

Uncertainty. As a society, we live in a world of uncertainty. Uncertain social conditions. Uncertain economic times. Uncertain global developments. Yet uncertainty is nothing new. The characters in the Bible experienced wildly fluctuating levels of uncertainty. . . often feeling as if life was moving backwards, getting worse. And the questions remain the same. Where's God? Is he going to show up? Is he still in control?

Some of the brightest moments in our lives are the result of brokenness. When we can see that God is working through undesirable circumstances - even the ones we bring on ourselves - there is a sense of purpose and peace that emerges. Knowing that God is still active during uncertain times allows us to maintain hope and faith and keeps us from despair. We can rest knowing that God has not abandoned us . . . and that he's still in control.

Jesus body wasn't just a figment of the imagination or the 
appearance of a ghost--the disciples touched him, and he ate food.
On the other hand, his body wasn't merely a restored human body
like Lazarus's (John 11)-- he was able to appear and disappear.

Easter Sunday, April 12, 2009
Message by Pastor Ken Harvey
Luke 23:50-24:12, Acts 2:22-24, 32, 36-41

In our celebration of Easter we tend to lose sight of what Easter is
really about. It's not about bunnies, baby chicks, easter egg hunts,
colored eggs, chocolate, pretty dresses and fancy clothes. It's not 
even a celebration of Christianity, or the teachings of Jesus. 

It is celebrating a specific  historic event . It is about the resurrection
of Jesus from the grave. God brought Jesus back to Life! Death is 
conquered. Sin is paid for in full. We have opportunity to receive
forgiveness and life as a free gift from God. We have a right standing
with God from God because Jesus gave his life for us.

The most important event in human history was about to take place.
Jesus, as the spotless Lamb of God, would give his life in order to
save his people from the penalty of death brought by sin. Even though
he would face extreme anguish and agony, he would not give up or give
in. He went ahead with the mission for which he had come. The way to 
the kingdom is the way of the cross.

The story of Zacchaeus is by far one of the most interesting stories in the life of Jesus.  In only ten verses we receive a story filled with rich description, one that can’t help but become a short movie within the imagination of all who read it.  But at the same time that the story of Zacchaeus offers us something, it also beckons us to something.  The story of Zacchaeus is not so much about a little man in a tree as it is about our relationship with the despised, discarded, and ignored of our world.  Relationship? Jesus’ point exactly.

Bible Ref.: Luke 16:1-18

The bible is full of great, heart warming stories from Jesus.  There’s the story of the little cute lost sheep, and the one about the father and son embracing after the son was lost to his perilous ways. And don’t forget the tear-jerking story about the scandal in the work place.  Wait, that doesn’t fit.  Or does it?

We find in Luke chapter 16 a story told by Jesus that is different than any other story.  A story of scandal, dishonesty and superior intellect.  The question is, how does Jesus plan on using such a questionable story to communicate a Godly truth?  Can it be done?

Luke 15:1-31

These three parables reveal God as a Searching Father, looking for the lost, actively seeking them, and rejoicing when they are found. An essential part of God's character is about extending mercy to the undeserving -- not only those who happen to mess up , but an active program of seeking out the hurting and oppressed, the blind and the imprisoned . That is the message of the cross, the message of active love.

People should be sure they have responded to the one
who brings in the kingdom. It is easy to think we auto-
matically qualify-- by birth, by cultural connection, or by
heritage. But to Jesus, a relationship with God is personal 
in nature and means setting ourselves apart to follow him.
The door remains open individually for everyone. It is an 
equal-opportunity road, with access to all who take it, but 
the route is marked out by God, not by us. He wants people
to consciously enter into relationship with him, aware of
their sins and shortcomings, their need for God, and the 
salvation Jesus has achieved for them.

Our wealth opens up choices for us that allow us to pursue our own interests
in a variety of ways. Such pursuits can easily keep us from using resources
in a way most honoring to God. Jesus is not condemning wealth as such, but
its use. How do we use what God  has given us? Do we seek to pile up
 treasure for ourselves? Is generosity our habit? Or does compassion take a
back seat to our personal desires? The questions raised here are timeless.

Discipleship is not a casual affair to Jesus. In a series of three encounters, Jesus shows the high priority he places on discipleship.  It is not an accident that this teaching follows a passage that centered on rejection. Part of  what makes following Jesus so demanding is the fact that some type of rejection is given for the believer. Following Jesus takes focused commitment.  Kingdom preaching is an urgent task for followers of Jesus.

The Christian faith goes beyond knowing what others believe. It requires us to hold beliefs for ourselves. When Jesus asks, "Who do you say I am?" he wants us to take a stand, Who do you say Jesus is?  People are willing to pay a high price for something they value. Is it any surprise that Jesus would demand this much commitment from his followers? There are at least
three conditions that must be met by people who want to follow Jesus. We must be willing to deny self, to take up our crosses, and to follow him. Anything less is superficial lip service.

The feeding of the five thousand is the only miracle recorded in all four Gospels. The miracle shows how Jesus meets needs. A key to this miracle is that the provision comes through the disciples. Jesus had just commissioned them to share the kingdom message. They needed to be aware of what they could do through Christ. Jesus shows them that they have access to his authority through his enablement. What about us? What would happen if we trusted Jesus with our resources? How would that change us?

Don't think you need extraordinary qualifications.  He accepts you as you are.

God sent the angel Gabriel to announce to Zechariah that He and his wife Elizabeth would have a son born to them and to Mary that she would give birth to Jesus the Savior of the world. Both were miracle births. Zechariah and Elizabeth were past child bearing years and Mary was a virgin. Zechariah expressed doubt that this could be, yet he was obedient. Mary was young, poor, and female. In her culture, she would seem to be unusable by God for any major task. But God chose Mary 
for one of the most important acts of obedience he has ever demanded of anyone. What we will see this weekend, is that God can use you if you trust him.

Bible Ref.: Hebrews 11:1, Luke 7:1-17

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."  Two words describe faith: sure and certain. These two qualities need a secure beginning and ending point. The beginning point of faith is believing in God's character-he is who he says. The end point is believing in God's promises-he will do what he says. When we believe that God will fulfill his promises even though we don't see those promises materializing yet, we demonstrate true faith.

The story of the widow's son illustrates salvation. The whole world was dead in sin, just as the widow's son was dead. But God had compassion on us, and he sent Jesus to raise us to life with him. Accept God's gift of life, praise God for it, and use your life to do his will.

Today we’re going to hear first hand…the impact Christians can have when they give of their time and of their hearts to show compassion on the lost and hurting people of this world.  Saying you are a Christ follower and actually living it are two entirely different things.  You must have an outflow of Christ’s love in order to make a difference in the lives of people and the Kingdom of God.

How are we supposed to remain hopeful in a hopelessly broken world? We want to be hopeful, but when 
relationships sour, stock prices tumble, dreams disappear, and plans crumble, hope can be hard to come 
by. In a world without guarantees, hope can be a dangerous thing. But what if the tension we feel is the 
result of putting our hope in the wrong things? What if God has a different plan for us—a plan built on his 
unfailing love?

working, but what should we be doing? How should we live in the midst of uncertainty? How can we 
keep from being overwhelmed by the fears and insecurities that often go hand in hand with uncertainty?

Uncertainty. As a society, we live in a world of uncertainty. Uncertain social conditions. Uncertain economic times. Uncertain global developments. Yet uncertainty is nothing new. The characters in the Bible experienced wildly fluctuating levels of uncertainty. . . often feeling as if life was moving backwards, getting worse. And the questions remain the same. Where's God? Is he going to show up? Is he still in control?

Some of the brightest moments in our lives are the result of brokenness. When we can see that God is working through undesirable circumstances - even the ones we bring on ourselves - there is a sense of purpose and peace that emerges. Knowing that God is still active during uncertain times allows us to maintain hope and faith and keeps us from despair. We can rest knowing that God has not abandoned us . . . and that he's still in control.

The story of the widow's son illustrates salvation. The whole world was dead in sin, just as the widow's son was dead. But God had compassion on us, and he sent Jesus to raise us to life with him. Accept God's gift of life, praise God for it, and use your life to do his will.

Message by:  Pastor Ken Harvey
Bible Ref.: Luke 6:39-49

Jesus reminds us that we need to follow the right teachers, and to not be critical of others.  He reminds us that our speech  and actions reveal the true underlying beliefs, attitudes, and motivations in our lives. Obeying God is like building a house on a solid foundation that stands firm when storms come. Be sure your life is built on the solid foundation of knowing and trusting Jesus Christ.
