Bringing hope, help, and reconciliation through Christ!

God through YOU. Yes, YOU! God's presence changes EVERYTHING. And each person in His family UNIQUELY draws out a facet of His presence and personality for the benefit and blessing of the whole. That means you MATTER. Not in a generic way, but in a UNIQUE way! That means God's presence and personality uniquely manifested and reflected in you meets important NEEDS for others, and also helps others KNOW God more fully, and vice versa. Yes- the mixture of your gender, your personality, your gifts, your strengths, and even your natural socio-political leanings reflect and manifest God's very presence and personality in a very unique and important way for the benefit of the whole Body of Christ. C.S. Lewis rightly said, "The more we share the Heavenly Bread between us, the more we shall all have."

The Lord, and life itself, rewards people who are FAITHFUL. To be faithful means to be constant and consistent in performance of one's duties or services... to be reliable and dependable... to be committed from a place of depth, loyalty, or love. At a time when the Apostle Paul could and perhaps SHOULD have been thinking about his very soon REWARD in HEAVEN, He was thinking about how he could HELP Timothy be FAITHFUL when he was gone.

In this sermon, our very own "Queen Morgan" shares her initial sermon as she completes the process of becoming a licensed Christian minister! We are so PROUD of her and so GRATEFUL to GOD to be the church that He has called her to minister, labor, and lead within and from as we seek to make disciples of Jesus & bring hope, help, and reconciliation through Christ! In this powerful and vulnerable message, Minister Morgan springboards from her own testimony into how God SPECIALIZES in turning regret into REDEMPTION, pain into PURPOSE, and shame into SHOWERS of GRACE. Big Idea: God has a way of taking your tragedy, pain, and sin, and ultimately using them for your GOOD and for His GLORY. He can and will FIX "it"... if you'll let Him. Primary Passage(s): Psalm 138:8 Luke 15:11-24 Principles to remember: 1) Self reflect aka "Keep it a stack" 2) Repentance aka "Turn it around" 3) Relationship aka "Hug it out" ...................

Before Arnold Schwartzenegger took over the bodybuilding WORLD and the action movie UNIVERSE in the 80s with one of the most prolific physiques of all TIME, he struggled TREMENDOUSLY with little CALVES! His fellow bodybuilders teased him to the point that he got extremely insecure about it and did everything he could to hide his weakness. Eventually, he got sick and tired of getting teased and tormented, and he knew he couldn't run from his weakness forever and at at the same time make his dreams a reality. So he cut the bottoms off of all of his pants to FORCE himself to LOOK his weakness in the face and to figure out how to turn this weakness into a strength. Through some YEARS of trial he reached triumph and cracked the code on his calves. And the rest is history. We all have our own version of Arnold's little calves. We all have things that we are insecure about... things that are holding us back from being our best selves for God's glory and purposes. HOWEVER... if we are willing to be honest enough with ourselves, and gangster enough to work on our weaknesses with God's help... we can turn our weaknesses into tremendous strengths and develop one of the greatest strengths any disciple of Jesus can utilize along the way- empathy. ...........

We have to be able to say "Nahhhhh bro", or maybe even "Heck NO!!!!!!!!!!" to the things that will give us pleasure NOW but punish us LATER! Yezzzz... Going too hard on the bottle. Junk food addiction. Too many sweets! The STREETS! Steroids. Porn. Sex outside of God's guardrails. Fill in the blank... In this message, Pastor Jazz breaks down King Solomon's passionate admonition to his son and his readers to build up the character and commitment to resist the temptations that come looking for each and every one of us. He also shares powerful and practical insight on how to get back on track with God's help if we have found ourselves ensnared with struggle and regret. .................

We've all gotten our hearts CRUSHED! It's an inescapable reality of life. And when you go through something traumatic and/or deeply painful, the tendency is to TRY to do life with a protective WALL around our hearts... a SAFEGUARD to avoid getting our hearts crushed again! Just one problem... God made us in His image and so we are irreducibly RELATIONAL! We can never be deeply whole or deeply happy in isolation and apart from meaningful relationship with others. We must put a GATE around our hearts, not a wall. A gate allows us to keep the WRONG things and people out, but to allow the RIGHT things and people in while God grows us and makes us whole. During his time, King Solomon was known as the baddest man on the planet- not merely because of his insane net worth but his GENIUS and WISDOM. He famously said, "Above all else, GUARD your HEART because everything you do flows from it." -Proverbs 4:23 In this message, Pastor Jazz Cathcart helps us explore how to play both defense AND offense in the game of life, not ONLY protecting our hearts and minds from danger and threats, but proactively GIVING our hearts and minds what they need to THRIVE for God's glory and the good of our world. .................

Transformation doesn't happen overnight. If we will just get 1% better in an area, and CONSISTENTLY so, our lives will CHANGE! Spend just three minutes in prayer and in your Bible a day. Next week, add one minute. Watch what happens! Do the same thing with working out. Do the same thing with cleaning your room. Do the same thing with spending time with your family and healthy friends. Do the same thing with being a tangible blessing to other people. Do the same thing paying off your debt and saving money. Do the same thing improving in your career or your craft. Do the same thing with getting to school or work early. Do the same thing with cutting back on the things that are killing your emotional and spiritual life... your relationships... your dreams... your potential! There is POWER in getting just 1% better. GROW! GRIND! But don't TRUST your grind. Trust GOD! He'll HELP you. And He'll be there to CATCH you if you fall. ................... This snippet is from a sermon entitled "Three plus One equals TEN!" where Pastor Jazz Cathcart expounds on how when our identity (how we perceive ourselves), our vision (our goals, dreams, and aspirations), and our habits (the things we do regularly) are working together we can go FAR! But when we connect them to the God who gives GRACE, we become UNSTOPPABLE. ...................

Your mama may have cussed, smoked, and be doin' the MOST! But if your mama, daddy, or grandparents gave you expectations around the house like cleaning your ROOM, doing your HOMEWORK, and making sure your brothers and sisters were GOOD, then you know that those expectations were actually HEALTHY and helped you become the kind of ADULT you needed to be! No good parent is okay with their kids being lazy! Most people don't know that God HIMSELF is a phenomenal parent!... and that HE has expectations for US. He hates LAZINESS... in general and in JESUS! But He loves, rewards, and EMPOWERS us to LABOR for the everlasting Kingdom and for the kind of life worth living!
