Tailored 2 Fit Suitable

Today’s message is about being who God’s truly made us to be. The reason that is important is because those marked by God’s love are called to obey! The basis for discipleship is the death of Jesus for the world. Disciples die for family, friends and enemies equally as opportunity arises. Today our bottom line is…. “If you’ve been marked by God’s love, be who you are not what people expect”

FACES Encouraged not Egged

Egg on you face or being egged both produce undesirable sentiments that we’d all like to avoid. The the idea that we could be believing God for something that could leave us looking embarrassed or foolish often plagues us and hinders our obedience trust. For someone to persist with some sort of an argument or some sort of abuse after their initial attack wears us out and can cause us to wonder if God has abandoned us. But Hebrews 6:18 (NLT) says…

FACES Grace Cares For Everyone

We continue our talks on the FACE of Grace (Forgive Accept Care Encourage Strength) today its’ although Grace cares for everyone God has a special care designed for His sons and daughters. Some would say that He cares “much more” for those who have received His love through Jesus Christ. Is it an elite class or is it just simply dependent on one’s faith? And if its so, what would be the purpose of a group getting more care tan any other? Jesus did pray differently…

#ForTheMonValley Pt 4

People mainly only care about what impacts them personally. But people will change what they do when they learn why it matters. The story of the Gospel is personal. Why does this message matter so much today? It is impossible to refute that one of the deepest revelations of God’s character is in the weakness, suffering, and death found on the cross. If you wonder what God’s heart is like see the crucifixion!

#ForTheMonValley – Critics

We all struggle with being critical and being criticized. Yet there can be good from it. Proverbs‬ ‭25:12‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) reminds us that  “To one who listens, valid criticism is like a gold earring or other gold jewelry.” It’s beautiful when God adds to us through another’s care. Even though there is good criticism, there is also that which has as it’s design to confuse, entrap or entangle us. This week Mark shares with us that it’s about laying down your life…

The Heart of the Matter Part 3

Love and life itself have many aha moments. It’s interesting how aha moments generally bring pleasure or a sense of satisfaction to us. Even the ones that are connected to painful moments, can bring a sense of value and closure to our hearts. Some are simple and last but the moment, while in others, their influence lasts a lifetime. Some even become the very substance of our lives.

When you pray Part 5

In this message, Mark puts the wraps on our series concerning prayer. In prayer, we deal directly with God and only in a secondary sense other people. It is not our prayer that moves people, but the God to whom we pray. If a scheming Jacob was given “power with God and with men,” then surely anyone who follows God’s prayer principles can enjoy the same power (Genesis 32:28). And it’s in that power with God that we find the…

When You Pray Part 4 – His Preeminence

In the disciple’s prayer, Jesus was teaching us that we surrender our concern in things that don’t remain so that we might devote our remaining days to things that do. When you affirm that “this is your Father’s World” you are giving the Father Preeminence in the details of your life and by faith you answer the questions about who owns your kingdom and who is your king? When we pray recognizing His Preeminence, we’re making our prayers in the light of…
