"So, a lot of us … in fact, most of us, maybe … kind of put on these masks. And our masks usually look better on the outside than we feel on the inside, right? And we kind of fear that everyone around is as good on the inside as their masks look on the outside. So, when we compare our insides to their masks, we don’t look too good, we don’t feel too good, right? … Listen … Bottom line, the reality is, you are not alone. Chances are you either have in the past, or are now, or someone you care about deeply is struggling with some mental health issue. Especially … especially … if you are around kids because they’re struggling, guys. … We’ll see. And too often, when we have some kind of mental or emotional problem … we respond by hiding, isolating, disconnecting … which damages our relationships with the people who care for us. We disconnect in marriage, we disconnect from our parents, our kids, our friends; we disconnect from our church family … and we wither … alone … as our mental, emotional, and even spiritual health deteriorates. Do you get that? Do you feel that? Do you do that?"

When Your Truth Isn't God's Truth

för 7 dagar sedan

—

"I think we live in a "truth desert." We live in a world where thoughts like "What's true for you may not be true for me" exist. We live in a world where thoughts like "I'm just living out my truth" — that's a normal thought. Truth — real truth … absolute truth — is becoming more and more scarce. And our world is living off of processed truth, unhealthy truth — truth without nutrition or value. Truth that won't actually sustain. It may satisfy your hunger for a time, but it won't give you what you're looking for. In a world that we live in today where truth has become far more limited, where truth is much harder to find, here's a big statement that's going to ruffle some feathers: Your truth doesn't matter if it doesn't match Jesus’ truth. Your truth isn't important if it isn't Jesus’ truth. You can press your opinion; you can have an idea; you can lean in to what you say is true for you; but if it doesn't match His truth, then it's like living off of processed and unhealthy options. It's going to satisfy you for a little bit, but it's going to bring health issues in the future; it isn't going to accomplish what you want in the long term."…

The Truth About Spiritual Health

för 14 dagar sedan

—

Do you want to get well? It wasn’t just a question for the man – but also for the religious folks. Church, we've got to repent. That word repent, it's a big church word. It just means changing your mind into alignment with Jesus. Repentance is basically saying, "Jesus, you’re always right. I want to think like you do so that it will lead me to live like you do." Repentance is a part of becoming a Jesus follower. We’ve mentioned that the last couple of weeks. Repentance is part of the process of becoming a Jesus Follower, just like belief, confession, and baptism. But we don’t just repent one time in life. It’s not a one-time event. As a Jesus follower, every time we identify a place where we are in conflict with Jesus, we acknowledge that we are wrong and we begin working on being right. So, we repent. If you're guilty of judging people who are coming into a relationship with Jesus … if you see yourself as a gatekeeper to Jesus … if you place more emphasis on church behavior than you do a relationship with Jesus, I'm calling you to repent. Make it right. We had better seek compassion in the same way that Jesus did. And, if we're unwilling, then don’t be surprised when Jesus doesn’t have much compassion for you.…

The Shocking Truth About Being Born Again

för 21 dagar sedan

—

"There are different ways of saying “again” in Greek. The one here is kind of odd. If you were to check it out in your Bible you’d probably see a little note next to the word “again.” If you go to the margin it will explain the note. It will tell you that the word “again” can also mean “from above.” “You must be born again.” Or, “You must be born from above.” One words, two definitions. And both work. Every one us was birthed once … physically. But you are not just a physical creature. We’re kind of like “hybrids” – both physical and spiritual. And for us to be what we were meant to be, a spiritual birth … a “born again,” a “born from above,” is required, too. Our Creator must re-create, Jesus says. … So … have you been “born again … from above”?" Stephen Pattison, Lead Minister…

God's Plan: The Power of Choice

för 28 dagar sedan

—

"This is the big idea. Jesus invited. He didn't force. He didn't power people into following Him. He didn't beg people to believe in Him. He didn't perform people into accepting Him. It’s true that he taught with authority. It’s true that Jesus wowed with His miracles and His signs. And it’s true that there were times when Jesus attracted large crowds. But … for the person — for the individual who would come face-to-face with Jesus – they were offered an invitation. Jesus offers us an invitation to participate, to experience, to learn, and to follow. He offers us an invitation into a relationship with Him, and it matches the pattern that God had set from the very beginning." Ben Webb, Associate Minister…

Marriage: More Than Just Staying Together

"So... till death do us part: perseverance, endurance, faithfulness. That’s what I preached 25 years ago. And it was solid stuff, I think. But we need to go deeper. Because it’s missing, I think, maybe the most important part. Because... what if perseverance isn’t measured just by time? What if endurance and faithfulness aren’t measured just by time?"

Is Pride Killing Your Marriage?

för 6 weeks sedan

"James says the proud are in competition with God. Have you ever felt like God is against you? Do you ever feel like your marriage isn’t getting any better? Maybe, just maybe, you have an issue. Maybe you need to be broken of your pride. James says the humble are on God’s team. Do you want God to come back into your marriage? Do you want God to bring healing? Invite Him back... with humility. Don’t try to manipulate Him into giving you what you want. Just approach Him with humility." Ben Webb, Associate Minister…

Gentleness: Is Your Marriage Missing This?

för 7 weeks sedan

—

"If you step into the Bible, you’ll find the word gentle in several places. If you look at the Greek language, something more robust reveals itself. The Greek word for gentleness is pra - ooh - tayce. Historically, this word originally described the space existing between having a hot temper … and having no temper at all. I think this definition gets at something our usual understanding of gentleness misses. Gentleness only exists when there’s an opportunity not to be gentle — when harshness is an equally available option. To be kind or tender or mild-mannered is gentleness … IF you have the ability to NOT be kind or NOT be tender or NOT be mild-mannered. So, what I’m saying is this: the foundation of gentleness is actually power. It’s authority. It’s the ability to use force — but choosing to restrain … to be gentle. A gentleman is someone with strength – someone who could do harm – but instead treats people with gentleness and kindness. Let me show you how this plays out in our lives."

Agape: The Key To A Lasting Marriage

för 8 weeks sedan

"We are calling this little series, “First comes love, then comes …” And it’s all about the kind of love we’re talking about. If we’re talking about agape, first comes love, then comes … sacrifice. First comes agape, then comes … gentleness. Of course, it does! First comes agape, then comes … humility. First comes agape, then comes faithfulness. And if you’re talking about an agape kind of love … no kidding. Eros? No way. Agape? A God kind of love? Absolutely! The fact is, you can do sacrifice without agape. You can do gentleness, humility, and faithfulness without agape … at least for a while. But if you are practicing an agape kind of love, you cannot not sacrifice and serve. You can not be gentle and humble with your partner. You can not be faithful to your partner … till death do you part. I’ll show you." Stephen "Doc" Pattison, Lead Minister…

How To Be Better At Life

för 9 weeks sedan

—

"Guys, we have a God who is not a God of less than the best. He is not one to give us the minimum expectation. We have a God who is a God of excellence. And when He became man, it was nowhere near the least that God could do; it was His best. I said this last week, but God becoming man was accomplishing excellence in the same way He made mountains, beaches, and sunsets. So, can we see why this is such a big deal to Him? Can you see why He’s so disappointed when our lives don’t worship Him? Can you see why He would not be pleased with something that we offer Him on a Sunday morning, but that we don’t even think about until the next Sunday morning? We want to worship with excellence. We’re going to start this year by setting this as a goal: that we would be a people who take this opportunity to worship with excellence. But it isn’t something that can only happen for a few minutes on a Sunday morning. It’s not something that we can program. It’s not something that Steve can simply create. As a church, we’ve got to take seriously our call to worship God with our lives — that we would worship God with excellence on Monday through Saturday, knowing and believing that if we would live with excellence, if we would worship with excellence, we think it’ll actually make your life better. We think it’ll give you a purpose, something to live for, something with meaning, something bigger than your life, something that you could be a part of that’s bigger than your small individual life. If you worship Monday through Saturday, it would make your life better and you better at life." Ben Webb, Associate Minister…

Are You Giving God Your Best?

för 10 weeks sedan

—

"In the first two weeks of this sermon series starting out the year, we’ve talked about reading the Bible and setting new patterns for growth within us. For the next two weeks — today and next week — we will discuss pursuing excellence in our worship. Because there are real implications when we give less than our best. If we give less than our best in our marriage, our work, or our extra responsibilities, we could lose our jobs, you could lose our wives, our kids, or our friends, right? But we don't feel the same impending consequences when we don’t give God our best. But we should. There’s something on the line here. Colossians 3:17 is a foundational verse we’ll look at more next week, but let’s introduce it briefly here: "Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." Whatever you do. That includes … everything — every place you go, every person you talk to, every task you take on. And it’s not a call to do your best. Paul, who writes this, actually takes it a step further. He says, do it in the name of Jesus. This means that the places we go, the people we talk to, and the tasks we take on are all opportunities to represent Jesus … to give effort for Jesus … and to bring honor to Jesus. They’re opportunities for us to … worship Jesus."…

Why The Bible Is Different

för 11 weeks sedan

—

"So, there are all these different “Bibles” out there, and all these spiritual gurus, motivational “life coaches,” all telling you how to live. And you pile on top of these the advice you are getting every day from TV and the internet, from TV stars and athletes who think that because they are talented and rich, you need to listen to them as they tell you what to think and how to live; and politicians who think they can tell you what to think and how to live. And all of you are probably deluged with advice from your moms and dads, and your brothers and sisters, and your friends as they tell you what to think and how to live. And, every once in a while, they give you some good advice. But, as Jesus' followers, we believe that if their advice contradicts what the Bible tells us … the Bible wins every single time. Right? And to so many, that sounds narrow, quaint, and stupidly arrogant. And … if the Bible was one of many options, they’d be right. But we think the Bible is … infinitely superior because we think the Bible is … fundamentally different. It’s unique, one of a kind. I’ll show you. We don’t treat our physical Bibles with the same kind of reverence as some of theirs. We are not “bibliolaters.” We don’t worship the book – it’s just paper and ink. We do worship the God who speaks to us through it. We’ll get back to that. But … I want to try to explain this morning why we think our Bible is so special, which will explain why we want you to read it, study it, memorize it, meditate on it, and pray it; so, here goes…" Stephen "Doc" Pattison, Lead Minister…

Listen, guys: If you have tried reading your Bible before and failed, try again. We have an incredibly gracious God, and I think he loves it when we try again. If you miss a day, a week, a month … try again. Start again … that’s so cool! It’ll make a difference, guys. It’ll make a difference in your life with God. It’ll make a difference in how you see yourself, the people around you, and your work … Guys, you’ll be opening yourself to the transforming work of God’s Holy Spirit, which is so cool to be transformed by God!"

Living Out Jesus' Teachings Today

för 13 weeks sedan

—

"Some of you guys came in here this morning pretty skeptical about Jesus. And when you hear his words, “I am The Way, The Truth, The Life, and no one gets to the Father without going through me,” you bristle. You want your own truth. You want your own way. … But … what if Jesus really was God, in a bod, stepping into our world to eradicate the barriers between us and God … barriers we are powerless to get by on our own? What if Jesus really did defeat death … for himself and for us? What if Jesus was right? Listen, guys: if you are on the wrong path, if you are going the wrong way, you won’t get where you really want to go. If he really is The Way, The Truth, and The Life … now is the time, guys. Don’t put it off. Never put off doing the right thing. It’s the best this you will ever do for yourself, for those you love, and for our amazing God." Stephen "Doc" Pattison, Lead Minister…

Why Christmas Needs The Resurrection

för 14 weeks sedan

—

When Jesus offered an invitation to participate in this way, it wasn’t an invitation for you to believe — it was an invitation for you to follow. It was an invitation to experience him. An invitation to participate. Because Jesus believes that following him will make your life better, and it will make you better at life. And it’s why I think the best time to talk about the resurrection of Jesus is at Christmas. Because a baby in a manger doesn’t mean much. Babies being born are all too familiar. A baby born 2000 years ago doesn’t mean much… until that baby grows up and turns into a man on a cross.…

Feeling Lost? He is The Way.

för 15 weeks sedan

See, that’s what Christmas is actually all about. At Christmas, we celebrate God becoming one of us to show us the way to the Father. Because we are lost and we don’t know it. We need to know the way. We are wrong, and we don’t know it. We need to know the truth. What moves you from being lost to no longer being lost? What is it that moves you from being wrong to now being right? Something has to change. Sometimes, all it takes is self-awareness – the ability to look around and see that you aren’t where you need to be – you’re lost. Or the ability to look around and see that your actions aren’t working. You’re wrong.…
