Nov 3, 2019Small Changes Make Big DifferencesBy: Troy BurnsSeries: All InContinuing in our All In series, Troy discusses the fact that a very minor change in your life can end up making a significant impact down the road. You’re always one decision away from a totally different life. And when you want to go big for God, it may seem nearly impossible, but God plus one equals a majority. If God is for you, who can be against you? When He calls you, will you say, “Here am I?”

Oct 27, 2019Who Builds a Boat in the Desert?By: Troy BurnsSeries: All InBased on the story of Noah building the ark, Troy asks the question, “Who Builds a Boat in the Desert?” Noah obeyed God and lived by faith for 120 years, as he continued to build something he might not even need. This is what it means to believe God and His promises. We can learn from Noah that although we often want more revelation before we obey more, God wants more obedience before He reveals more.

Oct 13, 2019Crash the Party: Falling on the Grace of GodBy: Troy BurnsSeries: All InFor this week’s message from our All In series, Troy shares one of the key points from the book, that there are times in our lives when we need to crash the party, when we need to come clean and unveil the secret shame of our sin, and fall on the grace of God. Sometimes we feel like our sin disqualifies us from the grace of God, but in reality, our sin is the only thing that qualifies us for God’s grace.

Sep 29, 2019This is Only a Test, but Retreat is Not an OptionBy: Troy BurnsSeries: All In(NOTE: Due to technical difficulties, the first half of this message was not recorded.) Continuing in our All In series, Troy shares how God provides for us, and how He reveals His faithfulness if we will exercise our faith. And as the author of the book points out, God tests us to prove Himself to us, and to give us an opportunity to prove ourselves to Him. In addition, when we endure tests and strive to grow in our faith, we can’t just take a step forward into the future; we also have to eliminate the possibility of moving backward into the past.

Sep 15, 2019Charge! Stop Playing Defense and Start Playing OffenseBy: Troy BurnsSeries: All InContinuing in our All In series, based on some ideas from the book by Mark Batterson, Troy discusses how going all in is the unwillingness to give up. No matter how many times you get knocked down, you get back up. No matter how tough it gets, you don’t give up the fight. There are moments in all of our lives when we’re tempted to give up, but we can remain hopeful if we stop playing defense and start playing offense.

Sep 8, 2019All In: It’s Now or NeverBy: Troy BurnsSeries: All InTo kick off our new series, All In, based on some ideas in the book of that name by Mark Batterson, Troy shares how the gospel costs nothing, but demands everything. Of course we all need a Savior, but we also must surrender to Jesus as the Lord and leader of our lives. The question is also asked, “Have you ever sacrificed anything for God? Because if you get back more than you gave up, have you sacrificed anything at all?

Sep 1, 2019Should I Rest on a Day Named for Work?By: Troy BurnsSeries: StandaloneFor our Labor Day weekend message, Troy discusses the topic of rest. Jesus tells us, “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me.” Normally, the load is equally distributed between the two who are yoked together, but when we, as followers of Jesus, are yoked with Him, He bears the load and we share in the joy and accomplishment of the labor, but without the burden of the yoke.

Aug 25, 2019Who You Are and What You Have Are EnoughBy: Troy BurnsThere’s great dissatisfaction in wanting more, or better, or different, versus appreciating what we have. As Troy shares to conclude our summer series through the Ten Commandments, “Who You Are and What You Have Are Enough.” If you’re a follower of Jesus, you’re a child of God, and you are who God says you are. To overcome a coveting heart and mindset, the solution is to be content, as opposed to being consumed with wanting what you don’t have, and especially, wanting what you have no right to have.

Aug 4, 2019Contentment to Heal Your Restless HeartBy: Troy BurnsTroy discusses the seventh commandment (“You shall not commit adultery”) and the best way to obey the command: focus on our marriages and how we can change ourselves and demonstrate unconditional love. We can also remember to be content, even thankful, for what we have, instead of being resentful over what we don’t have. Of course, Jesus raises the bar and tells us that people who look lustfully have already committed adultery in their hearts. God wants us to keep our bodies and our minds from being unfaithful.
