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.

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.

Unstoppable_Part 2 is the second message in our “CHURCH” series.
When you hear the word “Minister,” what comes to mind? For many of us, we remember that the preacher in church growing up was the minister. He as the extraordinarily gifted “reverend” was the one who was paid to visit the sick, assist the needy, to teach on Sundays, and lead Bible studies. But the scriptures paint a much different picture of who is the minister. This week, Pastor Dave teaches us that it’s the ordinary people, you and me who are called and equipped to be ministers that God uses in extraordinary ways to minister and serve our family, friends and neighbors.
