Overloaded people live in deficit —emotional deficit, relational deficit, and spiritual deficit. If you have ever overdrawn your checking account, you know the immediate stress and pressure that comes. You immediately want to find a way to cover it, but where do you find money when you are completely out? It is just as possible to get overdrawn in life. When you are overwhelmed, you find yourself living in deficit. You get overdrawn in your marriage, overdrawn with your kids, and you just plain run out of the spiritual, mental, relational, and emotional currency that it takes to really enjoy life. Join us for this final message as we learn from Jesus how to find rest in Him.

We are living in a society that by all accounts is working more and resting less. In the U.S., 85.8 percent of males and 66.5 percent of females work more than 40 hours per week. For many of us, more work leads to more stress and a lower quality of life. Without time to unwind, take care of your home, spend time with loved ones, enjoy our hobbies, connect with friends, our life is out of balance. God never meant it to be that way. In this message we will discover why God gave us a Sabbath.

According to Jesus, our location in eternity is not based on social standing or lineage. It’s based on God’s grace. His cheerful willingness to grant forgiveness to anyone honest enough to admit that they are not God, but that they need God in their lives; that at their core, they are morally flawed and in need of a Savior. In this final message, we’ll get an interesting glimpse by Jesus in the life to come.

The Biblical story of the Prodigal Son is familiar to most people. But if you study this story carefully, you’ll discover that it can tell you more about God than you’ve ever dreamed. This story is one of the most important stories in the entire Bible because it’s the story of what the Heavenly Father is like. If you want to know how God feels about you, if you want to know how much you are worth in God’s eyes, or if you’ve ever wondered if you have any significance in this vast universe, then this message is for you

It’s easy to get fuzzy on the purpose of life. We get caught up in so many activities and distractions, we forget why God put us on this earth. But God did create each of us with a purpose, and as a church a divine purpose. We just have to make sure our purpose aligns with God’s purpose. In this message we will discover what God’s purpose is.

Everyone has regrets. We all have things we’ve said or done that we wish we could do over. What would you go back and change? Would you say no to that first cigarette? Would you be a better parent to your children? The whole idea of Christmas was God giving man a second chance. While we can’t change our past, this message will show us we can change our future.

For many, the holiday season can’t be enjoyed because they deal with guilt and shame. Guilt says you did bad. Shame says you are bad. And shame based thinking can ruin your Christmas. In this message we will learn that we don’t have to connect who we are with what we did.
