Crisis Response (preview)
(March 14, 2020)
We often hear Bible verses quoted apart from their context. The promise of 2Chronicles 7:14 is specifically for times of national crisis that come as a result of our sin.
Crisis Response #1
(March 15, 2020)
When the social distancing of the COVID-19 coronavirus caused us to stop meeting as a church, it was the same Sunday that the President called for a national day of prayer. This message harkens back to the days of Israel's desert wandering and how the leaders stopped a plague spreading among the nation.

Crisis Response #2
(March 22, 2020)
How do we live free of fear when there are so many dangers, both seen and unseen, around us? The question is where you dwell -- where you choose to pitch your tent.

Crisis Response #3
(March 29, 2020)
We are made for relationship. It is a God-given longing, one that reflects his character and desires. This message looks to what the scriptures teach about this longing and how it leads us to draw near to God and to each other.
After this message, listen to this daddy-daughter duet of a song called "The Prayer."
Crisis Response #4
(April 5, 2020)
Is an empty church building a bad sign, or is it a reason to rejoice? Look at Acts 8:4, a time when the early church was forced to change their normal meetings and how it actually led to a spread of the gospel message.
Crisis Response #5
(April 19, 2020)
Put your trust in the wrong person, and you will eventually be let down. Put your trust in the Lord, and you will never be put to shame.
Before the message, watch this news clip about a family who survived the Easter tornado in Mississippi.
After the message, listen to My Hope is in You by Third Day, a song taken directly from Psalm 25.
Crisis Response #6
(April 26, 2020)
The 40yrs Israel spent in "time out" during their wilderness wanderings were a season of discipline. In Deut 8:2-6 Moses shares the lessons they should have learned -- lessons we still need to learn today. Delivered during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020.
Recommended song to accompany this message: In the Wilderness by Michael Card
Crisis Response #7
(May 3, 2020)
When you are in the dark, God is preparing you to receive the light. In Acts 9:1-19 we see how God removed Saul's sight to help him see the truth. He still does the same for us today.
Crisis Response #8
(July 5, 2020)
Why is our country in upheaval, and why are people acting crazy? The answer is that God releases us to the results of our choices. Look at Romans 1:18-32 to trace how we've gotten into this mess, and the one thing we can do to get out of it.
Crisis Response #9
(July 12, 2020)
How should the follower of Jesus respond when people argue over monuments and statues? The way in which God's people handled an argument over a monument in Joshua 22 gives us a good example to follow in our day of disagreements.

Crisis Response #10
(July 19, 2020)
You will cling to something. Choose carefully, because it will determine your future, your eternity.
Part 1 of Joshua's parting words to the nation of Israel are just as relevant for us today.
Crisis Response #11
(July 26, 2020)
At some point a fork in road will force a choice. Which way will you choose? Joshua presents Israel with a choice -- which god will you follow?
Part 2 of Joshua's parting words to the nation of Israel present a choice we each need to make... repeatedly.
