Who We Are Makes A Difference
Beginning on April 20, Pastor Rick will be preaching on the Book of Ephesians. Pastor David Myles and Josh Major will also bring messages to help us to live with meaning in a "Never Enough" world. The key verses of Ephesians are 2:8 - 10: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

Positioning Ourselves For The Future
Solomon knew the importance of living with vision when he wrote in the Proverbs: "Where there is no vision, the people perish." Nehemiah was one of those people who wanted to make a difference, and we will explore these differences during the next six weeks. A difference-maker is a person who experiences a holy concern and prayerfully steps out of his/her comfort zone by faith, which is demonstrated by carrying out a strategic plan of action.

Easter 2008
Throughout history, there have been many movements and factions that have denied the resurrection of Christ. But historic, orthodox (traditional) Christianity has always affirmed the physical, bodily resurrection of Jesus. Some may ask, "Why is the resurrection so important?" In this message, we're going to see why the resurrection is the pivotal piece of the whole Christianity.
