November 14: Growing Through Giving
Pastor John Martz • 1 Corinthians 16:1-4 • 29:47
Stream Audio | Download Audio | Notes
Few things provide a litmus test for the priorities of our heart like the whole area of money and finances. Another one of the tools God uses to grow us is in the allocation of our resources. And even as there are core principles to growth through physical exercise, many of those same principles are true in the area of stewardship. According to Paul, our giving needs to be regular, intentional, and push us.

How do you respond when life get hard? When things get difficult, God is at work growing us in ways that comfort cannot. Don't be afraid of hardship, embrace the growth God can bring through it.

Worship interacts with and experiences God. Knowing that God desires an intimate relationship with us, we are committed to a lifestyle of worship characterized by both individual and corporate expressions of devotion.

Change takes time, and like the making of a fine wine, it can't be rushed. We need to structure our lives such that continued growth in the Christian life is truly a priority in the hectic schedules of our daily lives. Since both times alone with God and service to others are key catalysts of growth, we need to make sure that we make time for both in the rhythm of life week by week.
October 17: Changed by Obedience
Pastor John Martz • Micah 6:8 • 25:27

Obedient living uses our gifts in witness and service. We believe that discipleship to Jesus implies radical obedience to all of his teachings. Such obedience, together with the Holy Spirit's work in us, equips us to do Kingdom work: giving witness to the good news of salvation and serving others in Jesus' name.

Growth happens differently to each of us. It is important to remember that God never grows two people the same way. God is a hand-crafter, not a mass-producer. How is He uniquely growing you?
September 26: Changed by Relationships
Pastor John Martz • Galatians 6:1-3 • 32:27

Relationships nurture our growth. Healthy and effective growth takes place in the context of relationships - with God, within peer groups, and across generations. We encourage people to be in discipling, mentoring, and small group relationships that produce growth and foster relationships both within and outside the church.

God's Word can become just another book to us with stories that took place thousands of years ago. But the truth is that the Bible is living and active and it can speak into our lives in ways nothing else can. Are you experiencing the wonder and awe of God's Word?
September 12: Changed by God's Word
Keith Hamilton • Joshua 1:8 • 25:11

God's Word shapes our lives, our values, and our actions. We are people of the Word, and the most important question we can keep asking is "Where is it written?" Not only is it authoritative, but the power of Scripture comes as we apply its truth to our lives, and as we watch God use it to transform us into His image.
