Who You Are
The world tells many things we aren’t - funny, strong, rich, a leader - the list goes on and on. We feel that we are only worth what our pay check says, we identify with our job or career, we feel inadequate in our body. In “Who You Are” we see in the story of John, and of Adam & Eve in the Garden about how we can eliminate the enemy’s power over our identity.

Shadrach Meshach & Abednego
In “Shadrach Meshach & Abednego” Pastor Jeff Werkmeister shares the thought of when we’re in a dark and scary place, when we feel alone, like God has left us- we have to make up our mind “What’s my Next Move”. Are we going to bow down to divorce, loneliness, pressure, being offended, unforgiveness… or are we going to believe in the promise go God? When you are in the situation you may ask God “where are you, what did I do wrong, why did you leave me” but the TRUTH is that God never leaves us...

Faith Brings Joy
Some of the most life-giving verses can be found in Romans 5 - as Paul walks us through our undeserved privilege that we have because of the righteousness that Jesus has given us. You can lay down your trials, lay down you hopelessness because God brings JOY, and he brings PEACE. He promised these to us - and His promises never fade or change. So take refuge in the Lord for He greatly loves us (Psalm 118).

Set the Record Straight
In “Set the Record Straight”, Pastor Jeff talks about the storms of life when we get rained on with issues. There are 5 truths of who God is at all times - but we really need to remember these truths in these difficult trials.

Thirsty
In “Thirsty” Pastor Jeff Werkmeister shares the real story of the Woman at the Well as she was not thirsting for water, but to fill her soul. As Jesus tells her of a well that she can drink from and never thirst again, we see that grace finds us right in the middle of our dysfunction. It is time that we let go of our dysfunction and grab onto the cross of grace.

Grateful - Week 4
At the end of Grateful series we learn about Paul & Silas and their thankful attitude. Despite Paul and Silas not being one of Jesus’ disciples, they were given the same opportunity to bring freedom to those who are lost and need Jesus. We have that same opportunity and God is saying NOW. He is also saying that we need to be uncomfortable so that we rely on Him and have 100% faith in Jesus. Also in this message is an excellent story from the Perez Family on how God suddenly changed their cir...

Grateful - Week 3
When we understand all that Jesus has done for us, then we desire to have a personal relationship with Him, and we learn his voice. Through the Holy Spirit, we are able to have a live relationship with Jesus that then empowers us with grace to overcome sin. In Grateful Week 3 we learn from John 10 and Romans 8 that Jesus is a Good Shepherd and when we listen to His voice, we do not have to live in doubt, fear, nor stay in our sin.

Grateful - Week 2
As Jesus is praying before he goes to the cross, there’s a lesson about gratitude. We need to die to our flesh, have the correct perspective that God wants us to have in our situation, and speak the truths from the Word. Having the correct perspective gives us ability to be grateful in all situations. Let us be grateful for what Jesus did at the cross - that He is Good and He made a way for us to live a life of victory.

Grateful - Week 1
The story of Joseph shows us that God has a blessing a victorious life for us to walk in - if we are grateful for the difficult times. Joseph had integrity to flee sexual immorality, to honor his Egyptian master, and kept faith in God’s promises despite his current circumstances. God wants to take us from the pit to the palace if we can keep our eyes on God’s plan in the hard times.

Confidence
Your identity is not to sit in church. God has a divine plan and purpose for your life, right where you are, in your current circumstances. Jesus called a fisherman named Peter to be a disciple, and then shortly after Peter made the largest failure of his life - denying Jesus 3 times. God’s greatest call came on Peter’s life, right before his greatest failure. What is important is that God is Good and has a plan for our life, and restores even when we make mistakes. In “Confidence” Pastor Jeff W...

Wrong Lane
Jesus has some lanes that are going to be a little more difficult, but they are full of life. In “Wrong Lane” Pastor Jeff Werkmeister shares a few personal stories and John 4 showing us that through Christ we have the grace to handle any situation - if we choose the lane that Jesus has for us. We are the woman at the well, we have made many choices without Christ… and Jesus wants to give us Life in a new and fresh way - but its a narrow lane. “Let’s pick the narrow lane in 2019” - Pastor Jeff We...

A renewed mind is key to victory. Jesus did not see Zacchaeus as he currently was, Jesus saw him for who he would become. Luke 19. Join us in “Tuned In Part 3” as God transforms us into new people by changing the way we think and approach life. There are 7 ways to know if your mind has been renewed by Christ. You live in hope; the impossible seems reasonable; you live in peace and not worry; you like yourself and you are good in your weakness; you are quick to forgive; you are thankful; you beli...

Tuned In - Part 2
God wants to lay a foundation of Victory for us in 2019. But most of the time we out our faith in ourselves, a person, our boss - we want everything planned out for us in a way that we can see. In “Tuned In Part 2” Pastor Jeff Werkmeister shares that over time, we start to believe a lie that Jesus does not care about things in our lives. The TRUTH is that all God really wants is for us to talk to Him (prayer), and guess what - it’s totally ok to not have your life together all the time when you ...
