The Message
"Victory Deserves
a Fight"
 
Are you willing to pay the price to be victorious in your life? Special guests Joey Steelman and the Power Team reveal what it takes to be a champion and claim the victorious life that Jesus won for us.

Note from Pastor
This Sunday, I will begin what I believe is one of the most important message series I will ever preach: The Truth Project. We are in the midst of a cultural war and I believe thousands upon thousands of Christians are being deceived by the cunning lies of Satan. In a recent study, the Barna Research Group revealed a stunning statistic that continues to reverberate throughout the evangelical world: only nine percent of professing Christians have a biblical worldview. Because of this, today's believers live very similarly to non-believers. A personal sense of significance is rarely experienced, we spend our money and time on things that fail to satisfy, and we begin to wonder what life's ultimate purpose really is. We are, in short, losing our bearings as a people and a nation.
 
Over the next 14 weeks I am asking you to make a commitment to attend every Sunday at 9 or 10:30 AM and participate in one of the many small groups that are available. Currently, we have less than 20% of the church signed up to attend a small group; it is my prayer that 50% of our congregation would participate. It will be life changing! I'm looking forward to our time together.
 
In His Power,
