The Warrior’s Cause is the first message in our series “The Warrior.”
In every man’s life, there is a cause worth fighting for and a Kingdom to advance. The question is… will I step up and be the warrior God has created in my heart? who’s kingdom am I advancing, who am I protecting, and will I abandon my post or stand to fight the battles before me? Pastor Dave will be helping us answer these questions for ourselves so that we might achieve a victory that only God can provide!

Profile of the Obsessed! is the seventh and last message in our “CRAZY LOVE” series.
Unfortunately, Christianity in America has been watered down to “being a nice person.” But in His day, Jesus would have been called anything but “nice.” He was a radical revolutionary who was obsessed with sharing the good news about the crazy love of His Father. So if a “nice” faith is out, what’s it look like to live out an “obsessed” followership of Jesus? Pastor Dave concludes our series teaching us six obsessions that brings glory to our Lord and joy to our hearts.

Your Best Life… Later! is the sixth message in our “CRAZY LOVE” series.
Jesus lived a life that was radically different from his culture, even those in the Jewish religion. He promised those who faithfully followed Him an abundant life. Did that mean we experience our best life now with comforts of physical, social, and financial security in this kingdom of earth, or were the promises for our best life later in the Kingdom of heaven? Pastor Dave helps us discover the answer as we evaluate the great heroes of the faith who’s names are engraved on the wall of the Hall of Faith described in Hebrews 11.
Hebrews 11:1-16, 35-38; Philippians 2:6-13; 1 John 2:6; Matthew 25:40-45; Luke 6:38; 1 John 3:16-20; 2 Corinthians 8:13-15; Luke 12:31-34; 2 Corinthians 4:17-5:1

When You’re In Love… is the fifth message in our “CRAZY LOVE” series.
When we’re really in love, we go to great lengths to be together with that person and demonstrate our devotion. Have you ever know anyone who was all out crazy in love with Jesus? This week, Pastor Dave helps us discover what that kind of faith and devotion looks like and where the desire to live out that crazy love comes from!

Serving God Lukewarm Leftovers is the fourth message in our “CRAZY LOVE” series.
Jesus taught in parables so that those who weren’t genuinely listening wouldn’t understand. Today we’ll learn from the Parable of the Sower (Luke
that it might serve us well not to assume we’re the good soil. Too often we’re satisfied looking good in comparison to our neighbor rather than looking godly in Christ’s eyes. When we compare ourselves to others, we end up giving God the leftovers of our lives, instead of the first and best of what He’s blessed us with in His loving provision and protection. In our message notes, we’ll be able test ourselves and consider if qualities of our character and conduct reflect a lukewarm attitude in our love for Jesus so that we might repent and genuinely pursue a passionate love relationship with God as the first priority of life.

Crazy Love is the third message in our “CRAZY LOVE” series.
We all grow up in different homes with vastly varying love relationships with our fathers and mothers. Many times these experiences influence how we relate and experience God, our Heavenly Father, as well they should. For many though, it’s not until we become parents that we get a faint glimpse of God’s great love for us as His children. Our relationship with God often transitions from duty to desires as we learn that God has known us before we were formed in our mother’s womb, He designed and destined us for a specific work in the world, and I need not fear failure because he will ensure my success. But above all this, our Heavenly Father greatest desire, and greatest gift, is for us to receive Him as our treasure, realizing we are significant and valuable because we’re the object of His crazy love, not because we’re successful.

Are You Ready? is the second message in our “CRAZY LOVE” series.
We could die at any moment, even before finishing this mp3, yet given the course of an average day, we forget that life is truly only a vapor (James 4:13-14). Our usual worry and stress communicates that it’s okay to sin and not trust God because the stuff in our lives is somehow exceptional to everyone else’s. But the reality is, we’re not the center of the universe, God is the central figure in history and will be in the future. So will we acknowledge our weakness and limitedness to God, ourselves and before men? Will we live a life that is progressively dying to ourselves and growing to bless God and our neighbors with love and joy and kindness? Will we live each day as if it might be our last, acknowledging God before men by generously loving and serving like Jesus (Matt.10:32-33).

Stop Praying is the fist message in our “CRAZY LOVE” series.
Stop Praying! Instead, take a long, hard look at who God really is, from creator of the vast heavens to intricate designer of DNA. Today, our worship of God as Christ followers is as stunted as our understanding of who He is and how little we really know Him. Today we’ll learn He’s a holy, eternal, all-knowing, all-powerful, and just God. Imagine being John (Revelation 4) or Isaiah (Isaiah 6) raised to the very throne room of God. What would your first words be if you were face to face with the Living God? How would this change the way you pray and talk to your mighty, magnificent and fearsome God each day?

Dangerous Part 1 is the third message in our “CHURCH” series.
When it comes to “Church”, most of us think of it as a safe and comfortable “sanctuary from the rest of our week” and the stresses and stains of everyday life. But even a casual glance through the New Testament show us that Church was never meant to be safe. This week and next, Pastor Dave teaches us Six Qualities of a Dangerous Church whose unstoppable mission is to charge the gates of Hell and free the captives of the evil one.
