When Others Care About My Problems
Biblical joy is happiness, an emotion that is experienced by all people—Christian an non. What makes Christian joy different, though, isn’t that it’s not a feeling. Christian joy is the positive, emotional response to the reality that has dawned with the resurrection of Jesus. Jesus’ life and death proves that God loves the world and that he has acted to bring in a new reality that perseveres in the midst of any circumstance. THAT can produce happiness in anyone, no matter what.

Take it Personally
You've heard it... You may have even said it... "Don't take this Personally". Those words can make even the strongest individual cringe. The Holy Spirit through the Apostle Paul would encourage to do just the opposite. We are to live and minister in a very personal way. The letter of 2 Timothy is written with a truly personal tone and the closing of the letter brings it all together. There is a personal God who wants to touch each life personally and his chosen ambassadors are His people - the church. Brace yourself, it's going to get personal

Be The Alternative: Ecomomics
What is the church to do? We are called to "be the alternative" to the ways of the world. In this message, Pastor Simmons speaks to the example that Christians can provide with our use of money, or the "currency of power," in a world where the desperate love of money leads to "ruin and destruction" (I Tim. 6:9-10).

APPROVED
We respond well to the approval of people, how much more do we want and need the approval of God and desire to hear the applause of heaven. What does it look like to be approved by God? The Apostle Paul encourages young Timothy and us in 2 Timothy 2:14-26 to "do our best" and to live as "one approved by God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed" God wants to place His stamp of approval on our lives and He reveals how to receive it through this powerful passage.

soldier
SOLDIER: You may be armed with a skill, an education or just sense of determination but you have weapons. There are things that you hold dear to you that are worth defending. There are goals that are worth fighting for. Whether you’ve ever seen yourself as a soldier there is no doubt that there is warfare all around you. The challenge is to embrace your inner soldier receive your deployment orders from the scriptures. Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs--he wants to please his commanding officer. 2 Timothy 2:3-4 (NIV)

SHAMEless
The Scriptures are going to urge us to live out our faith in an Unashamed way. Another way to say that is that Christ would want us to learn and live in a Shame-less way. Shame is a powerful force. Shame goes beyond being embarrassed. You may have been embarrassed by someone's actions or words but have you ever been ashamed of what you said or did or may be what we didn’t do and we know we should have. Shame can control a person and keep them from doing what they should. Shame has always been associated with Sin. In the book of Genesis, the direct result for Adam and Eve in their disobedience is that immediately felt shame. The good news is that God can show us how to live a shameless life.
