Breakthrough: Finding Your Breakthrough

Finding our breakthrough starts with our minds. How we think determines how we live, simply because thinking always precedes doing. It is when we are alert and fully sober minded we are able to live differently- and when we live differently than the broken world around us we find our victory over it.

Breakthrough: Finding Victory in a Defeated World

This world is not one we were meant to just survive; we are meant to thrive. As we read through scripture, we come to the same conclusion over and over again that we can find victory in a defeated world- but how we do that will surprise many of us. A breakthrough in life is a life of busting free from the brokenness of the world and taking a hold of a life that is truly life through God’s grace!

The realities of the broken world in many ways, for many of us, overshadow the greatness of God’s glory through the gift of life by His son. We forget who we are, we forget what He has already done and we get lost because we think we have lost. There is victory in Jesu and victory over this defeated world.

Breathing Room: Finding Professional Breathing Room

Sermon: The key to professional breathing room is focus.  We should learn to work towards what we're good at, which means improving on our strengths, and delegating our weaknesses.

Speaker: Josh Edwards

Breathing Room: Reordering your finances

Sermon: All of us are living on a percentage of our income, but we have allowed our culture to squeeze our Breathing Room.

Scripture Passage: Malachi 3:7-12

Speaker: Ethan Morrison

Breathing Room: Time to Run

Sermon: There's something in all of us that wants to walk as close to the line as possible.  By seeing moral breathing room, we set standards for ourselves that allow lesser consequences than when living right on the line.

Scripture Passage: 1 Corinthians 6:18

Speaker: Ethan Morrison

Breathing Room: Less is More

Ever feel like you can’t catch your breath? Our culture encourages us to fill up our schedules and empty our bank accounts. Living on the line creates too much stress and tension but God has a better way. Our Heavenly Father wants to lead you to a life with breathing room.

In our attempt to get the most out of life, our schedules spin out of control. Our time is limited, and someone has to decide how we spend the time we have left. When we surrender our time to our Heavenly Father, He will lead us to breathing room.

Expect the Unexpected: An Unexpected Reception

Jesus’ earthly reception was unexpected. How will you respond to Jesus?

 

Speaker: Ethan Morrison

Expect the Unexpected: An Unexpected Plan

Sermon: Jesus' plan was the most unexpected of all.   People expected Jesus to save those like them; He came to save everyone.  People expected a king to rule and make everything right-right now; He came to die.

Scripture Passage: Luke 2:25-35

Speaker: Ethan Morrison

Expect the Unexpected: An Unexpected Family Tree

Assumptions often blind us to reality. When I assume something won’t happen or can’t happen, but then it does happen - it’s unexpected. Jesus not only comes in an unexpected way, he wants to do the unexpected in our lives.

 

If God can use these spiritual rejects, God can use you!

Killing it: To be a Known Survivor

Sermon: We all want to be recognized, admired, sought after, and envied.  We hunger for approval.  We want to be known.  But what do you do when there is no amount of "known" that will satisfy your appetite?

Scripture Passage: John 1
