Don’t Rob God
Posted by Ashley Ellison
From Malachi 3, Pastor Ashley teaches the church what God means when He commands us to not rob Him. God isn't concerned with running out of gold for the streets of heaven, rather he doesn't want us to rob Him of an opportunity to be bless from Him because of our obedience! God isn't concerned with our tithe because has missing out on something, its because of what it will unlock in our lives by being obedient, that he encourages us to "test Him in this."

    Remember
    Posted by Ashley Ellison
    In his sermon, Remember, Pastor Ashley asks us, "What symbols do you have in life that cause you to remember a moment or a season of your life?" When preparing to partake of communion, we understand the imperative to examine ourselves and to remember Christ and His sacrifice. We understand that the bread and juice represent the body and the blood of Jesus. Pastor Ashley points out the additional imperative from John 6:56 to abide, which means (in the Greek) to "remain and continue to remain" connected to Jesus in everyday life, not just on Sundays and Wednesdays.

    Essential: Indispensable
    Posted by Ashley Ellison
    In today's culture of dispensable technology, Pastor Ashley speaks to the wisdom of 1st Thessalonians 5:21 which tells us to ," Hold on to what is good." From this passage, Pastor shows us how essential it is for the church to stop and take a look at the things that we are "throwing away". If we want to continue to grow in the things of the Lord ,then we will have to start honoring the good things that God is placing in our lives.

    Posted by Chatman Laxton
    In the third part of our Proverbs study, Chatman Laxton brings in the idea that wisdom is a direct reflection of Christ in the New Testament. By looking through the lens of 1 Corinthians 1:30, and specifically the part that says "Jesus Christ has become our wisdom," we can have a deeper understanding of how important the wisdom in Proverbs is for us. God fully intended His people to be wise, and as His people, we should be "waiting at wisdom's doorpost" with expectation.

    Posted by Chatman Laxton
    In his message of "Essential: Excellence'', Chatman conveys the importance of Christians operating at the highest level. Through the message of Cain and Abel, Chatman brings to light that the favor Cain so desired could've been his had he only pursued excellence thoroughly. In our lives it's important to the kingdom that we operate in excellence or else we soon will be facing disasters of our own.

    Essential: Change
    Posted by Ashley Ellison
    In this powerful word from Pastor Ashley, he discusses the word of Ezekiel 37, and the story of the dry bones in the valley. What looks to be a dry empty valley was soon to be filled with life, but God wasn't going to do it by himself. See he wanted Ezekiel to speak prophetically and believe that God could make the place of desolation, thrive with life again. In our country today, we can not afford to sit idly by and let what we see with our natural eyes limit what God can do, nor can we let it hold back our tongues from speaking life into the situation. God's Spirit is ready for us to take up the word that He has placed in us, and speak it forth, so that we can be the change agents for the Kingdom of Heaven.

    With the plethora of ways we have information at our fingertips, Pastor brings to light the alarming lack of wisdom we have in our country, even though we have all these tools at our disposal. The reason is, that we as a people, have moved away from the Proverbs of God and focused on the "proverbs" of man. If we will turn back to the wisdom that God gives, we will begin to see exponential changes in every facet of our lives!

    Perhaps the most overlooked of the Ten Commandments is the commandment to keep the Sabbath holy. The failure of so many Christians to observe the Sabbath may well be the reason our culture is in the shape it is in today. Please listen as Pastor Ashley reminds us of the purpose and need for God's people to obey all of the Ten Commandments.

The partaking of the lamb goes beyond an outward act, into an inward representation of Christ and what He does within us. The Lamb purifies us, and we can not truly experience the power of God without this important concept of "feasting" on the Lamb.

    In response to last week's message, Be Encouraged, Pastor Ashley continues from John 14 to teach that the way to be encouraged is to refuse to be dismayed. In a world that makes it easy to be dismayed, Christians have just as much reason to be encouraged as we ever has. God is still God, and He is still good. Why should we be dismayed?

    In the Sunday following the election, Adam Jones brings a great word about the the way Christians should be acting in response to the events going on and around us.
