“What really Matters?”
We are in Philippians 3 today. Paul was the poster child for the devout Jew of his day. He did everything right, observed every law, was squeaky clean but found it was not what mattered. How about our lives? What do we do that we think really matters? Where might we be wrong from God’s perspective?

“Work Out Your Salvation”
We are in Philippians 2 and we are looking at how we as children of God don't work FOR our salvation but rather work OUT our salvation in very practical ways. It is the difference between what we do to BE saved and what we do because we ARE saved.

“The Power of a Good Influence”
Today in Titus 3 Paul emphasizes the importance of good works, not to save us or keep us saved, but as evidence that we are saved. Think about what kind of influence you are on others. How might God help you kick it up a notch for His glory?

We all come from different backgrounds and experiences and rather than irritating one another maybe there are things we can do to hold the bar high in living together as God’s family.

“KEEP THE BAR HIGH”
God calls every believer to a pursuit of godliness. The Bible gives us clear guidance of what we should do and what we should not do. Don’t confuse this with legalism! We follow standards not to become a Christian but as a response of being one. In Titus 1 Paul gives standards for leaders in the church which I believe are the high bar we are to also set for one another.

Thank you for joining us for “Non-Trivial Pursuits” as we are continuing our study of 1 Timothy in the 3rd chapter today.
What is important when it comes to character? How high do we need to set the bar for ur leaders in the church? When does setting standards turn into legalism? Today we will address these issues.
You are also welcome to join us on Wednesday nights as we dig deeper into the previous week's sermons during our adult study time.

Today's sermon is entitled “Non-Trivial Pursuits III”, as we are continuing our study in the 2nd chapter of 1 Timothy.
There are so many different expressions of worship today as the body of Christ extends to different denominations and cultures. Which one is the best? Who is right or most like the early church? Is there one single right way?

Today's sermon is entitled “Non-Trivial Pursuits 2”, as we are continuing our study of 1 Timothy as Paul opens his heart to his young pastor/friend Timothy.
Our past has a lot to do with who we are but does it determine what we will become? How would you finish these sentences:
1. I used to be ___________________________
2. Now I seem to be ___________________________

Today's sermon is entitled “Non-Trivial Pursuits”
We are beginning a series from the book of 1 Timothy. This is one of Paul’s letters from an older pastor to a young one. Throughout he directs Timothy to spend his energy on what is best. For us today, we can get caught up in trivial pursuits, spending our time and energy on things that ultimately don’t matter.
As we go through this short book let’s see what kinds of things are not worth our time and which are non-trivial pursuits.

Easter Sunday, April 9th, 2023
HAPPY EASTER! We are so glad you are here today as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.
Today we are excited for those being baptized. We call it believer’s baptism. What that means is that they are publicly declaring their faith in Jesus and their desire to make Him first in their life.
We are also having a baby dedication. What this means is that the parents are making a commitment to bring up their child in a Godly home so that when they are old enough to understand it will be natural for them to make their own decision to follow Jesus.

Happy New Year! Starting the New Year with a Spiritual Checkup
A new year is a good time to do some checking up. Out with the old, in with the new is what we say. But what about a new spiritual challenge for 2023?
Here are a few questions to ask as you look at what God may have for you in the new year to come.
1. In my walk with God, am I where I want to be?
2. Is there something hindering my spiritual growth?
3. How evident is the fruit of the spirit in my life? (Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-Control)
4. How can I pray MORE ?
MORE = Meaningfully | Often | Regularly | Earnestly
