So-called Enlightenment (Angels)

The Bible tells us that angels are real.  They are created by God for a number of purposes, including service to God, protection, rescue, comfort and encouragement.  Understanding Biblical doctrine about angels becomes a foundation for understanding the doctrine of Satan and also demons.

Healthy Weston Fest Service

This week's message ties our Spiritual Health into Healthy Weston Fest.  It explores key points such as conditioning your body and soul with exercise, and running the race with endurance.  (Message originally recorded July 26, 2009 at the Outdoor Healthy Weston Fest Service, held at Kennedy Park in Weston, WI)

Grander Vision Living

This message is the last of our four week series Just Walk Across the Room (based on the book by Bill Hybels).  At its core, Grander Vision Living means allowing other pursuits to fall away in order to focus on the priority that is nearest to the heart of God. And when you choose to pursue the Grander Vision, you will be partnering with God in the most magnificent mission imaginable: finding what’s lost, restoring what’s broken, and reclaiming what’s His.  (Recorded July 19, 2009)

The Power of Story

What’s your story? Regardless of if we are formally “gifted” in evangelism or not, all Christ-followers can be prepared to engage people in spiritual conversations and do what they can to point people toward faith in God. When conversations do take a spiritual turn, it is critical to know how to convey two stories with humility, clarity, and brevity: your own story, and God’s story.  (Recorded July 12, 2009)

Living in 3-D

Sharing the greatest gift can only happen when Christ-followers are really involved in the lives of the people around them. That means they choose to Develop friendships, Discover life stories, and Discern appropriate next steps based on promptings from the Holy Spirit—in other words, live in “3D.” Are you afraid that when you walk across the room you won’t know what to say?  Be sure to check out this week's message.  (Recorded July 5, 2009)

A Redemptive Community

Confession, forgiveness and restoration are not values we normally encounter.  It is much more common to see bitterness, jealousy and gossip.  What would it look like if the church operated with God's plan in mind?  This week, we get a clearer vision of what Jesus had in mind for His church.

The Church's Cancer

Why is it so easy to spread gossip, but so hard to spread the Gospel? Gossip kills churches. It kills trust. It kills relationships. Let’s get serious about defining, recognizing and eliminating this deadly disease.

dirty little secret

The mission of Christ is to bring reconciliation.  However, it often seems that the goal of us as humans is to tear one another down.  This series will explore why we have conflict and how to handle it, why gossip is so juicy, and what can happen in a community when churches are working together for a common goal instead of against one another.

Anger

What makes us really angry?  Why do those things bother us so much?  Jesus got angry, but He got angry at the right things.  Getting angry about the right things encourages constructive action.  Getting angry about the wrong things pushes us away from people and away from God.  This message reminds us about picking the right fights.

How Good is Good Enough

We can't earn our way to heaven.  It's only through God's grace that we can have a home there for eternity.  This week's message, How Good is Good Enough, explores some of the misconceptions about faith in God as well as reminds us that God loved us so much that he sent His son to save us!  Listen in to find out more about how to accept that salvation.
