From the beginning of time, satan uses 3 things against us: The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life.

The Horror of a Life Against God - ENGAGE #6
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.

From these three passages in the book of Mark (9:33-37; 9:38-41; 10:35-45) Pastor Lance Parrott calls towards service in the body, but with the right attitudes. These stories call us to have the heart of a servant - the very heart of Jesus himself. Hear the Word of the Lord.

Pride Goes Before a Fall
Daniel 4:1-37 Pride is perhaps the utmost evil. It is the vice that inflicts the devil and is ultimately the sin that merited his fall from Heaven. Indeed, pride can be considered the root source of every sin. Even before Adam and Eve committed sin, Satan had already committed the sin of pride. Satan vividly demonstrated the meaning of pride through his desire to "make himself like The Most High." It was Satan's desire to be like God. In tonight's message, we see how the sovereign God of the universe humbled a very prideful ruler - King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, the world's greatest empire. This heavenly drama can be divided into five 'scenes': 1. The King's Declaration (vv. 1-3) 2. The King's Vision (vv. 4-18) 3. The King's Caution (vv. 19-27) 4. The King's Humiliation (vv. 28-33) 5. The King's Conversion (vv. 34-37) From these scenes, we learn that the essence of the sin of pride is the worship of ourselves, or the desire for self-worship over the worship of God. We also see that pride has only one motive and one end: self-glorification. Self-glorification deprives God of the glory that is due only Him. As such, there is no sin more offensive to God than pride. In contrast, Jesus shows us how those who humble themselves will be exalted and He demonstrated this ultimately through His willing death on the cross. But, all kings will one day be humbled when Jesus Christ returns, for He will put down and humble all the nations of this earth. God is able to humble those who walk in pride and He will do so. It is far better to humble yourself now, rather than be cut down in your pride by the God of the Most High, for if we humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, He will lift us up!

Love Your Neighbor
The book of James is basic, entry-level, in-your-face Christianity. A real workout. Nothing fancy. No glamor-cize at the club. Just crunches, push-ups, and heavy bag work in a smelly basement gym. If you are up to the challenge, James will shape you into a hard-body believer. During this series, Fit Faith, we’ll tackle some of the most practical teaching outside of the gospels. James was known as "James the Just", someone who put his faith into practice in a real and practical way. James will stretch us to grasp the importance of putting our faith into action as described in God's word. Are you ready to get fit?

Pt. 1, Admitting Need: The Reality Choice
In this message Pastor Jeremy talks about being poor in spirit. He explains how being proud will prevent us from healing from out troubles. We cannot change things on our own. We need to admit we have problems, ask God for help AND ask God for help.
