    Speaking The Truth In Love - Loving The Unbeliever Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 17, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,382 views

    The best witnesses for Jesus to an unbelieving world are followers who hold on to what they believe in every circumstance

    You know the game where one person stands in front of a group of people and says, “Simon says raise your hand,” and everybody raises their hands. “Simon says raise your other hand,” and everybody raises their other hand. Well the world is like Simon and many are doing ...read more

    Defining Love - Selfishness Murders Relationships Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 16, 2013
     | 3,319 views

    We can say we love God if we want to, but, Jesus teaches us that the only way to follow Him, is to love and serve people like He does. Jesus wants people to find Him, to discover His redemption.

    When I was a kid my parents were missionaries in the Philippines. We lived there for three years, two in one house and one in another outside of Cebu City. In most parts of the city, including the part our first house was located, were open sewers. Ditches that were filled with water containing ...read more

    Defining Love - Sacrifice Isn't Optional Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 16, 2013
     | 4,486 views

    The people of Jesus know how to sacrifice. Genuine followers of Jesus know what it means to be faithful and experience joy in suffering. How about you? Are you weird like that?

    We're in the second week of our series "defining love" last time we talked about how genuine love, God's love, isn't normal. We defined love as faithful and that the result of faithfulness is joy. We talked about how our culture defines love in a million different ways, but, God defines love much ...read more

    Defining Love - Genuine Love Isn't Normal Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 16, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,163 views

    Jesus followers are a weird group of people. We don’t live like other people. We don’t have the same priorities or look at life the same way as everyone else. Genuine love always points people to Jesus Christ.

    Let’s just be real here. Jesus followers are weird people. We’re wacked. We say stuff and do things that most people around us find odd, or even dumb. For example, we look for ways to bless the kind of people that others want to avoid. We want to go to prison and love on inmates. ...read more

    Raising Your Kids To Be Followers Of Jesus Rather Than Fans

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 16, 2013
     | 8,397 views

    If you approach the Bible as a book that you have to read, a bunch of rules that you have to memorize, then that is how your kids will approach it, too.

    I read a story recently about three ladies who were sitting around and bragging about their children. The first one said, "You know my son, he graduated first in his class from Stanford, he’s now a doctor making $250,000 a year in Chicago." The second woman said, "You know my son, he ...read more

    Why I Share My Faith And How I Do It

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 16, 2013
     | 3,971 views

    I praise God for His faithfulness in using us for His glorious Kingdom purpose as we genuinely love the world around us and share the story of Jesus.

    On the evening of April 15, 1912, a most horrible and tragic accident took the lives of over 1,500 people. What is more horrifying is the fact that there were 16 lifeboats and four rafts with enough space to accommodate over 1,700. There were almost a 1,000 more people on board the Titanic than ...read more

    What Is Joy And How Do I Find It?

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 11, 2013
     | 2,914 views

    Joy is a Spirit gift; a power that provides supernatural ability to not only endure but to experience hope; to know in your soul the reality of heaven.

    I’ve had some happy days in my life. I was very happy when the Denver Broncos won Superbowls in 1997 and 1998. I was happy they day I married Kristi, and of course when my kids were born I was happy. Last Friday night when Jared came home from the hospital from his last chemo treatment, I ...read more

    Thank God.

    The Bible isn’t a list of rules. The Bible is a relationship waiting to happen. You need Jesus. And Jesus isn’t going to leave you because you mess up

    The Bible tells us how to live. Not necessarily as a list of rules, but, more like guidelines. Sometimes we confuse the Bible with a list of rules and then we really worry about whether we’re keeping them all or not. I know I used to live that way. The problem with trying really, really, ...read more

    A Simple, Difficult And Necessary Question; A Christmas Reflection

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 26, 2012
     | 2,448 views

    It’s Spiritually necessary for us to contemplate our journey with God and ask one simple question with huge implications. “Have I sold out my life for Jesus?”

    I enjoy a Christmas Eve service. I find it ironic though that most of us perceive this service as being a quiet and reflective time. Of course Christmas is the celebration of Jesus’ birthday, so it’s great we have candles, but, don’t you find it kind of odd that we celebrate his ...read more

    You Can Give What You Have

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 19, 2012
     | 2,347 views

    There are so many hurting people in our world and we often feel that we have nothing to offer that will provide any real sense of peace or joy. We can be supportive, we can offer prayer, we can send gifts, and all of these things are great, but, the one

    I like the Christmas Season. Overall it’s a positive time of year when people seem to be more in tune with serving and giving, especially to those in need. I think this is a great thing. It’s appropriate that the time of year when Christians celebrate the birth of our Savior, the ...read more

     | 3,511 views

    At some point in my life, whether I’m still alive or dead, I’m going to face Jesus. My name is in the book of life. My life is registered in heaven. I’ve given my flawed and imperfect life to the authority of Jesus Christ. My question this morning is,

    Have you ever wondered what it would be like to know the outcome of any decision you were about to make? How would your life be different if you could know the result of a decision before making it? In the trilogy “Back to the Future” this is the idea that these movies experiment ...read more

    Taking A Look At Family

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 8, 2012
     | 2,781 views

    There’s that thread again, “in the same way.” In what way are husbands to give honor to their wives? In the same way that gives God the glory and makes His name more famous in the community. The motive matters. If our homes look like God arranged them

    1 Peter 3 is just one of many Scriptures that deal with our human families and the church family in the same context. One reason why the definition of marriage in our modern environment is so important is because God uses the analogy of human marriage to explain His divine relationship with his ...read more

    Taking A Look At Faith

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 8, 2012
     | 2,902 views

    When it comes to faith I believe in two things; God can and God cares. Why did the followers of Jesus mentioned in the Hebrew writers' description endure the horrific treatment of persecution? Why did they keep their faith in Jesus as the Son of God eve

    Last week we took a look at failure. We discussed that God’s love is unconditional. He doesn't remove love because of your failure or give you some love when you succeed. He loves you because He made you. Paul made his case that even with his failures; God was using Him to unleash His power ...read more

    Taking A Look At Failure

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 8, 2012
     | 2,860 views

    No matter how messed up or ugly you think or feel you are, you are priceless to God and nothing in all creation can separate you from His love. And what is even more awesome to consider is that through your flaws, weaknesses and failures the power of God

    What Is Church? The Meeting Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Nov 29, 2012
     | 3,957 views

    We are a people group whose essential business is to love others as Jesus loved us and who routinely come together to share faith, enjoy testimony and most importantly pray with confidence, boldness and power. We are the people group of Jesus Christ and

    Two weeks ago we introduced the question, “What is church?” and we started with the first part of the answer, which is, “the church is a people group.” Last week we continued to ask the same question, “What is church?” and we added to the answer, ...read more
