August 19 – “Understanding What Makes You, You…And Making The Most Of It!” Do you understand what makes you, you? We are all different! Even twins have differences! We all have different strengths and different weaknesses! Each of us is pretty complex when it comes right down to it! You are put together in a marvelous way so that you can be you! But let me ask you this: Are you making the most out of what it means to be YOU? I pray that this week’s message can help you answer that question as never before! Read Psalm 139:14; Romans 8:27-29; Matthew 25:14-30

"Facing Our Fears"
August 26 – “Building A Foundation For Fear-Free Living” Your fears can destroy you. They can rob you of so much in life. They can ruin everything and hold you back from discovering some of the greatest joys of life. I recently talked to a man who was so afraid to get married. Some of his friends thought he was the smartest guy that ever lived, but talk to him and I guarantee that you will come to a different conclusion. What can help us with our fears? That is what this message is all about! Read 1 John 4:18; Eph. 3:13; I Peter 5:7; Romans 8:15; Hebrews 2:15
September 2 – “Facing Your Future With God’s Faithfulness” God gives all of us some great guarantees in life. We can depend upon God for so much, and that trust is about the most liberating thing that you could ever discover in life when it comes to your fears. This is what this week’s message is all about. God is faithful and when you put your trust in Him you will have a great future! Read Jeremiah 29:11; Psalm 34:4; Isaiah 43:2-3; Philippians 4:13
September 9 – “Overcoming The Fear Of Failure” We all make mistakes. We all tend to mess things up from time to time. Things do not always work out the way we plan! BUT are your failures holding you back from that which could be yours. Are you afraid you may mess it up again so you do nothing! This Sunday let’s deal with that! Read 2 Corinthians 4:8-9; Proverbs 28:13; Romans 5:3-4; Col. 2:14
September 16 – “Have I Got What It Takes?” All of us at one time or another have asked that question deep inside of ourselves. We have our doubts about ourselves as to whether we really have got what it takes to accomplish what is so important to us. The fear of inadequacy can rob us of what could have been ours! Today we deal with such a fear! Read 2 Tim. 1:7; 2 Cor. 12:9-10; Eph. 1:19; Luke 18:27
September 23 - "The fear of the Gate" If you stood at the gates of heaven, would you be welcomed in? We find ourselves welcome in certain homes, and not welcome in others. How does it work in God's kingdom? Jesus made a connection between His work on the cross and our welcome in heaven. We reflect this in our work of welcoming others. Come and explore this truth with us. Read Matthew 18:1-4; Luke 9:46-48; Luke 22:24-26; James 4:7-10
September 30 – “The Fear Of Being Alone” There is a lot of emotional pain in the world but there is nothing quite like loneliness. God knows that loneliness is terrible and He has a lot to say about it. Most importantly God wants you to know that you don’t have to be alone! Today God brings all of us the comfort we need. Read Genesis 2; Is. 41:10; Is. 43:2, Hebrews 13:5; Galatians 6:10; Psalm 116:8-10
October 7 – “The Fear of Rejection” This is the fear that grows on us with age…the fear of rejection! Little children do not have this fear so much in their life, but in time it starts to show up because we all come to face rejection at some point in our life, and we don’t like it! How do you deal with rejection? What does rejection do to us? How does it come to shape us? It does some pretty wicked things to us. This will be today’s message focus! God has a lot to say about it. Read Galatians 1:10; Matthew 10:28; I John 4:18
October 14 "The Fear of Being Faked Out" We all know what it is like to hear something, believe it wholeheartedly, and then find out later it is fake. Someone pretends to throw something at us and we flinch...and they laugh. How can we know if the news Jesus shared with us is real or fake? Are we just gullible, or is it the real thing? Read John 19:35; 8:44-45; 20:29-31; 2 Timothy 3:12-17; Psalm 119:105
October 21 "The Fear of War" Wars occur on battlefields, in our workplaces, in our schools, in our homes, and in our hearts and minds. Being threatened and attacked is on of the great challenges of living in a fallen world. Abuse and bullying abound. God wants us to face this fear and trust Him, even when evil is on the march. Come and be strengthened in your walk of faith. Read Psalm 18:2; Psalm 46; Ephesians 3:16; 6:10-17; John 16:33; 1 John 4:4
October 28 “Why Won’t I Just Make The Commitment?” The fear of commitment can keep us from some of the greatest blessings that life has to offer. God does not want us to miss such blessings and therefore He seeks to move to live a life of commitment…to Him and to others. Without such commitments our life is empty and filled with regret. God has a lot to say about and so today we are going to talk about overcoming our fears of commitment. Read Mark 8:36-37; 2 Chronicles 16:9; Psalm 37:5; Matthew 6:24
November 4 – “The Fear Of Losing Control” Most of us have a lot going on in our life and it seems like we are forever expanding the dimensions of our life so that we truly can have the full life…the abundant life…BUT there comes that moment when everything seems to going haywire and we are losing our grip on so much of what we want in life. We can’t seem to hang on to it. Often times we find ourselves living with the fear of losing control. Let’s talk about it. Read Proverbs 19:21; Eph. 1:8-10; Psalm 46:10
November 11 – “The Greatest Manufacturer of Fear: Guilt!” The Bible explains that many of the fears that you have in life are rooted in guilt. Today we are going to consider this and what we can do about it by way of God’s abundant grace. Read Proverbs 28:13; Psalm 38;
I John 4:18; Romans 3:23-24
November 18 - "Christ the King" In our day and age, we don't readily relate to living under a king. We have an elected president, with a balance of power in the government. Jesus is a king of a different kind. His kingdom under God never ends. He has authority and power to rule all things. And we are his subjects. Come and explore Christ our King, and prepare for the start of a new church year with the Advent season just around the corner...celebrating the "advent" of our King. Read John 7:42, 18:33-40; I Corinthians 15:24-28; Matthew 12:23; 21:15; 22:42,44; 2 Timothy 2:8; Revelation 22:16
