Essential 2021
It is important to see ourselves as essential. Culture will try to dictate what is essential and what is non-essential, but God's Word needs to be our guide. The Word tells us that we were created by God. We have been given gifts by God to build his kingdom. Church is also essential. We must view our role in God's kingdom as essential and be guided by prayer and obedience to Christ,.

    The Reason We Celebrate
    Jesus is the reason that we celebrate, and we need to remember this at Christmas and all throughout the year. Every human is born with a void that needs to be filled. Only God can fill this void. Our problem is the absence of God, and our answer is the presence of God. Jesus came as the perfect, spotless sacrifice, dealing with our sin once and for all. The only way we have access to a holy God is because of Jesus. Our reason to celebrate is Jesus!

Your calling is the harvest. You must : 1) See your calling out of darkness 2) See your calling according to purpose 3) See your calling completed. To grow what God has given you, you must first see that God is calling you.

    How to Identify Your Flesh

    Jesus King of Kings
    Christmas is a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus. The heart of the Christmas message is Jesus, the King of Kings is born! King Herod  rejected Jesus as King and tried to have him killed. (Matthew chapter 2) For Jesus to be King of our lives, we must understand the importance of loyalty, submission and service to Him. Jesus being born in a manger was the start of a kingdom of us living for him 2,000 years later.

    Leaving LoDebar
    In II Kings chapter 9, we see that David called for Mephibosheth, Jonathan's grandson, to honor his friendship with Jonathan. Mephibosheth left the land of LoDebar and was ushered into the presence of the King. The meaning of the word LoDebar is "valley of regret" or "silent sorrow". Everyone else saw Mephibosheth in that valley, but God saw him at the King's table.

    Aiming Children
    Children need to be "aimed" in the direction that they should go with discipline, instruction and blessing. Every child needs training. When discipline is necessary, the Christian parent  should not give up, but rather bring the necessary correction and  aim them correctly. Good parenting includes partnering with God, and the fruit will follow.

    Deep Roots
    In his message  "Deep Roots", Paul Kern teaches from John 15:5. If we are a follower of Christ, our destiny and calling is to be fruitful. We must develop deep roots, to have a foundation that can support the fruit that we will one day produce. Having the necessary roots, means that we must submit to the process of development in our lives, so that we will one day produce fruit that remains.

    Get Them to Jesus
    In Luke 18:16 Jesus said, "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them...". Jesus called for the children. We must be mindful of the importance of getting our children to Jesus. There is an intentional enemy trying to keep young people from Jesus. Our society is trying to stop the children from getting to Jesus. Parents must 1) Get their kids to Jesus 2) Know that their children are in relationship with God 3. Remove the "stop"  4) Be aware of the areas they are in where they are tempted to sin.

    Amazing Grace
    Grace is the free and unmerited favor of God as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings. Grace changes us. It doesn't excuse us. We can't be moved into a place of spiritual maturity without walking through grace. The fruit of grace is that it brings salvation and the blessings of God. As we extend that grace to others, we will see the opportunity for restored relationships. It is important to give grace and share one another's burdens. As we more fully understand this concept, we can apply it to our lives and administer it into the lives of others.

    Judgment of the Righteous – Judgment of the Wicked Part Two
    As Christians, we need to have a faith-based response to the end times. Luke 17:26 says, "When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah's day." God provided a way of escape for Noah. We do not need to be fear filled, because God will provide a way of escape for His people. We need to live pragmatically in the natural, and live ready for Him to return in the supernatural.

    Expectations / Words
    Pastor Ashley addresses the power of the tongue in his message, "Expectations / Words". Our actions follow our expectations.  We must choose our words wisely, as "Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Proverbs 18:21.

    Judgment of the Righteous-Judgment of the Wicked
    Pastor Ashley encourages the believer not to be fearful, regarding events going on in our world. We need to have a faith-based response. Judgment is coming, but just as Noah was given a place of safety, the righteous will be given a way of escape when the judgment of the wicked takes place. God never judges the righteous with the wicked.

    In his message, "Guard Your Heart", Chatman Laxton dives into the strategic role our hearts play in the battle plan that God has for us and that the devil has against us. Since "Everything we do flows from it" as Proverbs says, we need to take the condition of our heart with the utmost seriousness.
