People all over the world want to be free. We long for national freedom, civil freedom and economic freedom. But the most important freedom we can experience is personal freedom—the freedom to become the person that God has designed each of us to be. In this message Pastor Doug discusses not only what Jesus came to set us free from, but just as importantly, what he came to set us free for! Only by embracing the freedom that Jesus offers can we escape living an unbalanced, lopsided, superficial life.
Paul’s first prayer in the book of Ephesians is for us to understand and appreciate the life-transforming nature of the God-given blessings we have received. This week’s second prayer is different. Here, Paul asks not for enlightenment, but enablement. He wants us to live out these blessings in a practical way.

We live in a culture where belief in God is widely ridiculed. Despite that cultural pressure, many people profess their faith in God. What causes people to move from skepticism and become seekers?
We look at the church’s mission in the world. What has God called us to do? What does a healthy church look like? What does a disciple in the twenty-first century look like? This is a mission-critical time for our church family!
Jesus was the greatest teacher the world has ever known. To convey spiritual truth he often used parables–stories drawn from everyday life in which he revealed the way of the Kingdom of God. In this series we will look at seven selected parables which, when understood and applied, will transform how you think and how you live.
This week we take a look at the resources to equip us with strategies to live pure lives. We’ll examine Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness and see that God’s Word functions in a very practical way to help us handle life’s trials, difficulties, and temptations. We will look at the depth and complexity of evil, Satan’s evil strategies, and how we can defeat these strategies with Scripture.
