Genesis 47:13-31 - Scarcity and Prosperity in Egypt
November 27, 2016 - 08:06 PM Filed in: Genesis
If you were in charge of the country, how would you lead? What programs would you create? What kind of help would you offer? As we continue our study of Joseph's life, the Bible steps away from the story of the relationship between Joseph and his brothers and looks at how Joseph managed a nation in crisis for 17 years. Along the way, we learn practical insights on how to be a good manager of people entrusted to our care.

We all love forgiveness we don't deserve and blessings we never expected. As the story of Joseph continues we learn how Joseph's brothers find themselves blessed beyond their wildest dreams because of the faithfulness of the brother they sold into slavery. In a similar way, as Christians, we are also blessed beyond our wildest dreams because of our elder brother Jesus.

James 2:14-19 - Fake Faith
July 10, 2011 - 02:48 PM Filed in: James
Did you make a commitment to Christ as a child in summer camp? Millions are led to believe their eternity in heaven is secure if they can point to a day when they believed. Is it true that those who are not saved are simply those who haven't believed in Jesus? James disagrees. While we are saved by faith alone, James reminds us, saving faith is never alone. It will always be accompanied by works. There are millions who think their eternity is secure and they are good with God because at one time they placed their faith in Jesus. Unfortunately, they will spend an eternity apart from him because their faith turned out to be fake. What does fake faith look like? What is the crucial difference between faith that saves and faith that doesn't? Join us as we learn the important difference.

Christmas from Revelation - The Triumph of the Lamb
December 03, 2010 - 02:13 PM Filed in: Christmas from Revelation
Why do we hang off the edge of our seats at a football game and sing at the top of our lungs with our favorite bands? We were created by God to be passionate about things that are worth it. That desire was given to us for more than watching sports and music. God gave us these emotions to be passionate about Jesus, the ultimate hero, who won the ultimate victory. Join Pastor Kurt as we cheer The Triumph of the Lamb.

Doctrine - Response and Eternal Destiny
November 19, 2010 - 01:57 PM Filed in: Doctrine
In this final message, we wrap up the series by looking at how the Bible says God will wrap up the world. It may not be what you thought. Even though the sins of a Christian are forgiven through Christ, that does not mean their lives will escape serious review. The deeds of our life are always the basis for judgment. Join Dr. Trucksess as we learn how our choices will impact our eternity even if we are forgiven.
