How to Stress Less about Finances - Journey to Generosity #1
We were created to be generous—made in the image of a God who first generously created us. But the struggles of life often push us to worry about our financial security. Without minimizing the very real pain caused by our present economic difficulty, is it possible that our current reality might allow us to find a more reliable place for our trust? When we embrace a life of generosity—even in times of economic difficulty—we experience the rich blessing of living as we were meant to live. Now is not the time to hunker down in fear, but to stand up with compassionate hearts and open hands. In this series, we will study the Bible’s invitation to go on a faith journey from financial fear to joyful generosity.

Learning to Love - 1 Corinthians 13 (Stand Alone)
Sometimes, we need to call timeout, huddle up as a team, step back from the moment and remember why we are here. This sermon is a reminder to keep first things first. What is the first thing? Love is. They are many important things that happen in the life of a church--programs, budgets, meetings, facilities. These things are important because they enable ministry, but they are not the main thing. The struggle for a church is to keep the main thing the main thing. If we allow secondary things to distract, divide or discourage us, we will not achieve the primary thing God has called us to do. In this sermon, we will look at 1 Corinthians 13 as we more fully learn to love.

7 Marks of a Well-trained Life - ENGAGE #7
In this series, we will study Daniel 1-6. There are many parallels between the situation Daniel faced and our situation today. Like Daniel, we work and live among a great variety of gods--not only those of other formal religions, but also the gods of achievement, independence, knowledge, pleasure, and ideology. In a religiously diverse culture which is at best indifferent and at worst hostile to faith in the one true God, what role should Christ-followers play in society? Rather than isolating ourselves or rejecting our world, we want to ENGAGE our world as people who trust in a powerful God, make positive contributions to society, and bring hope to others. If you've ever wondered how Monday-Saturday were related to Sunday, this series is for you.

The Performance Trap - Parent Trap #3
Parents are the most influential people in a child’s life. Good parents always want what is best for their children. They want good things for their kids: to be happy, productive and moral. But good things out of place can become dangerous. Well meaning parents regularly step into traps that poison a child’s faith in the name of something good. Don’t fall into the "Parent Trap." By looking at major Bible themes, Lead Pastor Jeff Lawrence helps parents avoid the traps that damage a child’s faith. [Creative collaboration for this series with Clear Creek Community Church, League City, TX, USA)
