Mark 10:32-45 - Two Paths To Greatness




Washington grows egos better than Iowa grows corn. Most politicians are not humble public servants but men and women laced with pride desiring to wield power and like social media addicts, they dream of headlining the news. Is climbing over people the path to true greatness? Is being in power and control the way to know you are significant? In this study, Jesus tells us the path to true greatness.

Mark 9:30-41 - The Way Up Is Down




Albert Haynesworth was considered one of the top picks in the 2002 NFL Draft. He was drafted first round to the Tennessee Titans. While he had a bright career in front of him, there was a fatal flaw inside of him. That flaw burst onto the public scene in a game between the Tennessee Titans and the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas was winning. Andre Gurode, the Dallas center, was on the ground after a play when Haynesworth attacked him. He tore off his helmet and with cleated shoes stomped on Gurode's face nearly missing his eye but leaving him with deep cuts on his face that required 30 stitches. After the game, when Haynesworth was asked why he attacked the Dallas center he said, "I am a prideful guy. I hate to lose." That was the beginning of Haynesworth's decline in the NFL. He eventually became known as the worst free-agent draft in NFL history. This man was an amazing athletic talent, but pride destroyed his life. Pride isn't just deadly for football players. It is especially deadly for Christians. Join me as we find out why.

Mark 9:14-29 - Too Proud To Pray




Today we usually hear stories of bad fathers. We hear stories of fathers neglecting their children and using their children for their own selfish gain. As we continue our study in the Gospel of Mark, we meet a great father. We meet a dad who tirelessly gave of himself to caring for his sick son, his only child. This dad frequently risked his life to save his son's life. As part of this father's tireless commitment to care for his sick boy, he tracked down Jesus' disciples and begging them to cure his son. Join us as we learn what the disciples did, and what we can easily do, that shuts down the strength of Jesus working in our lives.

Daniel 4 - Pride



Pride is a sin we struggle with. Some of us are more outspoken with our pride, others of us are quiet. Pride is not a respecter of temperaments or personality. Pride is subtle and insidious. In this passage, we learn how God healed Nebuchadnezzar of this deadly disease and how that God, out of his love, may heal of us pride the same way.

Honeymoons don't last. It doesn't take long for the crushing pressure of laundry, car payments, a mortgage and work responsibilities to suck the life out of marriage. When love is lacking during the day, that frustration spills into the marriage bed at night. This week, we find Solomon and his bride in their first marital spat. We discover what sin is behind most of the sexual frustrations couples have in their bedroom.

James 4:5-6 - He Gives More Grace



What happens when we fail God, not just once, but again and again. Is there a time when God says enough is enough? Is there a limit to the grace God is willing to extend for the continual sin in our lives? In this message, we discover the depth of God's forgiveness. The one thing that is necessary to receive it and the one thing that can stop it from flowing into our lives.
