Death is not a subject we ever want to discuss. However, we are called to die in order to run the race God has marked out for us. We can't skip over, gloss over or read through the fact that we are called to lose our life if we want to find TRUE LIFE

Isn't it easy to see all the violence, tragedy and injustice and wonder why God isn't doing more about it? Have you felt frustrated because change seems to come so slowly if at all? Thankfully God's word has a great direction and message for all of us today.

We're in a lifelong race. We have to throw off the hindrances, get untangled and run with perseverance. But we must fix our eyes on one specific place...one guy...one Lord. Fix our eyes on Jesus!

Throw off the sin that so easily entangles. Do we even sin anymore? That word is old, outdated and archaic. Or is it? Perhaps you've become entangled by sin. You chose to follow Jesus, but you are tired, frustrated and discouraged. Might be time to take a closer look you may be entangled.

Part one of our series entitled "The Human Race".

We are all running a race! We all have junk that is hindering our progress. Stuff that makes us weary and discouraged. What may surprise you is that you (me and you)...we... are our biggest problems!! Our ego, pride, and the incessant pursuit of self promotion. The author of Hebrews tells us throw it off and run this race with perseverance!

Every one of us is running a race. Do you know what you are racing for? Have you thought about what you are racing toward? It's not too late to make a course correction! Unfortunately, most people's experience with christianity feels more like a burden, the bible teaches us something very different. In fact the word of God teaches us how to run the race, what to focus on, and how to unburden ourselves from extra things we carry with us. We have a lot to cover but please join us for the next 3 months as we RUN THE RACE together.

As we close in on our fall series "Run the Race" please listen to our midweek lesson that will help prepare us to make the most of the upcoming fall.

There is always lots to do. Life is fast, things need to get done. But without this one ingredient everything we do in Christianity will be futile.

God is always the same, unfortunately the way we view Him affects our decisions, attitude, and faith. When we see God as not being big enough we will make plans that aren't his, we will neglect inquiring of Him, and we will look to others for help that god wants to give us.

We live in a complicated, sinful, violent world. Unfortunately, we often try to make sense of everything with simple answers. As we find out, Job lived in a confusing and painful time but he clung to God through his faith, even as his friends attempt to give simple superficial answers to more complex issues.

God has built His church to only work if it is fueld by Love. How easy is it though to allow a critical spirit, bitterness, and faithlessness to creep in and take over? Jesus draws a line in the sand and calls us to return to the love we had at first!

It isn't a matter of 'if' we get stuck in a rut, but 'when'. These are times that will define our lives and set a course for the future. We can overcome or be overcome by our circumstances. Here are 5 tried and true ways that will help keep you stuck in a rut.

Be prepared to learn about God's immense plan to save mankind. You will be challenged as the Old and the New Testament come alive in one unified message that reveals God to us and calls us to follow Him, not blindly but with a seemingly endless cache of foreshadowing, types, and prefigures that come to life in the ministry of Jesus.

It's too easy to settle for a faith that lacks supernatural power. In order to have any kind of impact on our community we must refuse to settle for anything less than what Christ has called for.

Most people settle for a life that is just about going through the motions. We can't wait for the weekend and we dread Mondays. Rest assured that we are built for more. Join us as we explore the book of Ephesians and find out why and what we were made for.

Children obey your parents, slaves obey your master? Oftentimes we stay away from these passages. What did they mean, and what do they mean today? Let's have courage and not shrink back from living out God's ENTIRE word to his people.

How we think influences how we behave. After we are saved from our sin, we must continue to change how we think. Paul tells us why and how in our next lesson which comes from Ephesians 4
