In the second pat of his "Proving our Faith" series, Chatman talks about being careful that as we seek to prove our faith, we don't fall into either the ditch of being a "works" only Christian or a "faith" only Christian.  we should instead marry our faith and our works in wisdom through loving God and loving people. 

In the first part of Proving our Faith, Chatman brings up the essential part that works plays in our relationship with God, along with his grace. Sharing out of James 2, Chatman reveals that our righteousness is made complete by the actions of what we believe.

Ashley Ellison addresses the topic of dealing with doubt, taking a look at Thomas in John chapter 20. Doubt is inevitable, but how we deal with that doubt is incredibly important. We must choose to believe when doubts arise, making the choice to build up our faith and stand on the Word.

Our blessings and problems in life often come from the decisions we make. The foundation for a right decision cannot be made without consulting God. Psalm 119:105 says, "Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.". When we go to the word, it illuminates the path. 

Mark two tells the story of a paralyzed man, whose friends pushed through the crowd to get him to Jesus. The paralyzed man surrounded himself with men of faith, who broke the barriers before them and pressed through to get to Jesus. Your breakthrough comes by getting to Jesus. 

In the last part of his Big Picture series, Pastor Ashley teaches about the importance of every part of the body of Christ operating at the fullest compacity that it can. in order for the body of Christ to accomplish the will of God. From Ephesians 4:16 Pastor Ashley calls the church to see the part they play as bigger than themselves, while at the same time, pursuing the part they play in Godly excellence. 

In the second part of The Big Picture, Pastor Ashley takes a deeper look into the importance of the big picture that only comes by hearing from the Lord. We cant be trying to smash pieces from other puzzles into the one that God has you working on. We need to work hard at finding our position in the picture and stop trying to be like everyone else. 

In the first part of The Big Picture, Pastor Ashley talks about the importance for us all to grab hold of the vision that God gives us. Without that " big picture" we will keep banging our heads on the wall trying to fit in where we don't go. As Christians trying to find our place in our church, we need to make sure that we aren't trying to bring a different picture to what God is already trying to get finished with the pieces that He's got for us then. Once we finish the work he starts us in, we grow and our vision can grow, but we cant get impatient. We must keep the "big picture" on our minds and in our hearts.

In the second part of her True Worship message, Melanie Bertoglio takes us deeper into our motives behind our worship. Melanie talks about how true worship is essential to the body of Christ, just as much as any other part that we are obedient to. However, we must constantly check ourselves to make sure that our worship is truly for God, because if we are getting caught up in the things surrounding our worship more than who we are worshipping, we cant get caught up "doing Christian things" the devil's way.
