Freedom From The Fear Of Man
Psalm 56:1-13 | Proverbs warns us that the fear of man is a snare in our life, and yet I think all of us have struggled at times with fearing man more than God or seeking man's approval above God's. Some of us may even be controlled by the fear of man. Maybe for you, it's as if someone has strings connected to your back, puppeteering your every move through life as you live too afraid to say no or stand up for what you ultimately know God would want.
How do we have victory over the fear of man? How do we walk in the freedom of a God-fearing life, not controlled by the trap that is the fear of man?

Good, Bad, Or Ugly... I Will Bless The Lord
Psalm 34:1-22 | When we think about blessings and the Lord we often think about how the Lord blesses us. What does it mean for us to bless the Lord? In the first line of Psalm 34, David writes, "I will bless the Lord at all times..."
What does it mean to bless the Lord? And why is the Lord worthy of our lives being lived as an offering of blessing back to Him?

The Joy of Gospel Witness
Romans 10:13-15 | We talk about what we love. We share what has thrilled our heart. We pass on to others things that have changed our life.
If we have a red-hot walk with Christ we have to tell others about it. In this message we look at the vital sign of gospel witness. Someone walking intimately with the Savior can't NOT tell other people about Him.

For the Good of the Body
1 Corinthians 12:1–31 | We love to watch when multiple people work together to accomplish something great. We watch teams, orchestras, choirs, and plays where every individual is doing their part, using their gifts, and fulfilling their role to be a piece of something much bigger than themselves.
The church is the most beautiful picture on the face of the earth in this regard. Each person in the church has gifts and roles given to them that must be used for the good of the whole. And what makes this more amazing than a sport or choir or orchestra or play? Each of our roles is given to us directly by the Spirit of God AND it means we get a role in building up the church which is taking the gospel to the ends of the earth to the glory of God. What could be more exciting to be a part of?
A healthy walk in Christ is one in which we are using the gifts given to us by God. This week, we look at the vital sign of spiritual gifts and ask: Do I know my gifts? Am I using my gifts? Have I experienced the joy and fulfillment of playing my part so that the church as a whole can thrive?

Growing in Christ
Ephesians 4:17–32 | The moment we are in Christ we are a new creation. We have a new identity, a new heart, and a brand new nature. And yet, scripture tells us that we also grow in our new life. The longer we follow Jesus, the more we are to be growing into looking more and more like Him.
So some questions: Are you growing in Christ? What does this growth look like? And maybe most importantly, how do you grow spiritually?
In this message we look at the broad, but crucial, vital sign of spiritual growth and seek to gain a better understanding of how spiritual growth happens in Christ.

Transformed in Christ
2 Corinthians 5:17–18 | The beginning of a Doctor's visit usually looks the same.
Thermometer...
Blood pressure cuff...
Stethoscope...
A doctor starts nearly every appointment the same way. They check your vitals. They can tell a lot about our basic health by quickly checking just a few things on us physically.
This is the beginning of a series where we'll ask, "What are the vital signs of a healthy walk with Jesus?" For 6 weeks we will discover some vital signs scripture would identify as indicators of health in our walk with Christ.

John 20:1–31 | "For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins." 1 Corinthians 15:16-17
Our faith rests on a resurrected Jesus. If there was no resurrection, there is no Christianity. But Easter Sunday is the celebration of celebrations. We gaze on the glory of the resurrected Christ. We will recount the story of the resurrection, a story that never gets old, and then we will look at how the story of the resurrection has the power to change our life.

The Glory of the Suffering King
John 12:1–26 | What comes to mind when you think of a king? The grandiose living. The servant's waiting on him at every turn. The beautiful palace with no expenses spared.
Whatever you think of when you think of a king...Jesus was the opposite. We follow a King, but He was servant King. He was a suffering King. And He was establishing a kingdom, unlike any other kingdom.
We are beginning a series leading up to Easter looking at the Glory of the Suffering Christ. This week, we worship as we study our Suffering King. What kind of impact does understanding Jesus as Suffering King have on the way we go about living the life of following Him?

The Fear of the Lord and the Day of the Lord
Malachi 3:13–4:6 | Throughout scripture, two themes recur often. These two themes are the "Fear of the Lord" and the "Day of the Lord." In many regards, these two themes are very connected.
We will see their connection powerfully in the passage this week. What does it mean for us to live with a healthy fear of the Lord? What do we need to know about the Day of the Lord? And how does knowledge of the Day of the Lord lead to a greater fear of the Lord?
These are life-shaping, eternity defining truths for us to study.

Giving God What Is God's
Malachi 3:7–12 | It is kind of weird to think about, but we can actually rob God. To commit robbery is to take for ourselves what rightfully belongs to someone else. In this week's passage, the Lord lovingly confronts His people for not giving their tithes and offerings to Him. He calls this robbery.
Now none of us want to be guilty of divine robbery, so we need to understand how this passage applies to us today. What does it look like to give to the Lord in a God-honoring way? Are we required to "tithe" of our income? What does our giving tell us about our worship?
This message isn't ultimately about giving. This message is ultimately about worship. When our worship is right, our giving gets right.

The Lovingly Patient Justice of God
Malachi 2:17–3:6 | "God, where is your justice?" This is the question the people were asking. God's people were looking at worshippers of false gods and watching them seemingly flourish. What was up with that? Was the perceived flourishing of those other people God’s hand of approval on them? Where is the justice in that?
There are times where life doesn't seem to be going our way. In these times we often look around and see people who have no desire to honor God seemingly flourish. What do we need to understand about the justice of God? How can we be awakened to know that always, in the end, God's perfect, patient, loving justice will prevail?

The Covenant of Christian Marriage
Malachi 2:10-16 | Throughout the centuries, the high view and calling God has placed on marriage has come under attack. We can see this in our own day, marriage is often not held in the high esteem in which God has created it to be. Even thousands of years ago, amongst God's people, the covenant of marriage found itself under attack. In seven verses of Malachi, we will watch God's passionate defense of marriage amongst His people. He will call them out and call them back to His intentions for this relationship. This has the potential to change the trajectory of our marriages and recenter the relationship between husband and wife back on God's glory. Whether you are or aren't married, this passage will unleash worship in your heart over what God is seeking to accomplish through this awesome institution He created called marriage.

The Unconditional Love of God
Malachi 1:1-5 | Ever needed a wake up call? Not a phone ringing in a hotel room to wake you up, but a wake up call in your life.
