The history books in Heaven, are still writing and recording the Greatest story ever told! The opportunity to be part of the Greatest story ever told is still available, the question is will you play the part, you have been given? What's your part in the story? Everyone won’t always believe what God is doing in your life, or where He is taking you to, in your walk with Him. If God has called you to do something, He will provide the means to complete, what He has called you to do. Are you willing to step out and play your part, in the story of Jesus? Text: 1 Corinthians 12:4-11

When we view the world and people through the eyes of Jesus it will change our view. We can only process the challenges of life by making sure that we are viewing them through the eyes of Jesus. While this may not change our circumstances, it will help our circumstances not to become master of our lives. Something or someone is our master. Jesus knows our life is better when it is Him.

Mary was believing for a Messiah before the angel ever showed up. She was willing to do whatever it took to see this happen. What are you willing to do so see the story of Jesus taken to the community?

What we value determines our behaviour. When we establish our mission and vision we then need to define what we need to value to help us accomplish our mission and vision. This is true of not only churches but in our personal lives as well. If we don't like a particular behaviour in our lives, look at what we are valuing. Changing what we value could be life transforming!

"Without a mission, a church is not a church; it's just a group of disobedient Christians hanging out." Christopher Wright Shawn Craven teaches about what Jesus came to earth to accomplish and why it matters to us.

A man who is said to be after "God's own heart" had an out of control family. This teaching about David is a reminder that even people in the Bible had families that were messed up.

Join us as we discover important family and life principles from David's life. Text: 2 Samuel 13:17-39
