Are You Truly Thankful?

In Luke 17:11-19, Jesus heals ten lepers, yet only one returns to thank Him. This moment challenges us to think about how often we recognize and express gratitude for the blessings we receive. Are we quick to call on God in times of need but slow to return to Him in thankfulness? 
Let us reflect on what it means to cultivate a heart that not only acknowledges blessings but continually returns to God with gratitude.

Remembering Veterans and God

This week, as we honor those who have served with courage and sacrifice, we begin by reflecting on Christ’s sacrificial love. Their dedication and service parallel His example, calling us to live with the same humility and purpose, putting others before ourselves and embodying a compassion that reflects the love of Christ.Recorded November 10th, 2024Scripture: Philippians 2:1-11Message by Pastor Tim Ward

There’s Room at the Table

In the Parable of the Great Banquet, Jesus reveals a Kingdom where everyone—especially those often overlooked or those who might not expect an invitation—has a place at God’s table. This powerful truth reminds us that the doors are open, and all are invited to share in God’s grace. As each seat fills, we’re challenged to consider: Are we welcoming others as He has welcomed us?

You Might Be a Healthy Christian If... You See Tithes and Offerings as an Opportunity to Glorify God

What does it mean to see your tithes and offerings not as a burden, but as a chance to glorify God? This week, we reflect on how tithing is an expression of worship, holiness, obedience, love, and evangelism. When we give with grateful hearts, we align ourselves with God's will and become a part of His work in the world. 
Is your giving an act of faith and love? Join us as we explore how healthy Christians see tithes and offerings as opportunities to honor God and be a blessing to others.

You Might Be a Healthy Christian If... You Are Active and Persistent in Soul Winning and Evangelism

What does it mean to be a healthy Christian? It means living with purpose, not just for yourself but for others, spreading the Good News persistently and passionately.
In 1 Corinthians 9, Paul shares how he became “all things to all people” in order to reach as many as possible with the gospel. This message inspires us to reflect on the power of persistence in evangelism and how we can share Christ’s love effectively by meeting people where they are, just as Paul did.
Are you ready to step up your evangelism efforts? Join us as we uncover what it means to be a healthy Christian, driven by a heart for soul winning and a passion for sharing the gospel!

You Might Be a Healthy Christian If... Your Love is Worth Giving Away

Jesus reminds us that the greatest love is the willingness to lay down our lives for others, just as He did for us. A love worth giving away is one that sacrifices and serves, bringing complete joy and fulfillment as we live for Jesus, live for others, and bear fruit that endures. When we love this way, we experience the fullness of His joy in us.Recorded October 13th, 2024Message by Pastor Tim WardScripture: John 15:9-17

You Might Be a Healthy Christian If... Worship is More than a Sunday Feeling

Is worship something you only think about on Sunday mornings? Or is it the heartbeat of your life?
In Isaiah 6, the prophet finds himself in the presence of the Almighty, overwhelmed by God’s glory. He doesn’t simply observe it—he’s transformed by it. This encounter leads him to recognize his own unworthiness, confess his sins, and respond with a life-altering commitment to God’s call: “Here am I. Send me!”

You Might Be a Healthy Christian If... You Pray Continually, Even When Things Are Good

Are you a Christian who prays only when the storm clouds gather? Or are you seeking to be spiritually healthy, anchored in prayer even when the sun is shining?
Prayer is more than just turning to God in moments of need; it’s staying connected to Him in the highs and lows of life. From the words of James and Paul, we are called to rejoice, pray, and give thanks in all circumstances, not just the difficult ones.
