Get More Help. When God created Adam and gave him a huge task to complete (take care of this world) he knew that he would need help. Here’s how he put it. “It is not good for the man to be alone; I’ll make a helper fit for him.” So it makes sense that in sending his 12 disciples out into the world to take back the world, Jesus would give them a Helper, the Holy Spirit. When we come to John 16 we know that he’s already introduced this to them over the dinner table. Now, on the way to the Garden of Gethsemane where he will be arrested, he is going to expand for them an explanation of how that Helper will assist them on their mission.

Stay Connected.
Jesus was the most joy-filled person to have ever lived. Don’t believe me? The writer of Hebrews tells us to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus who, “for the joy that was set before him endured the cross.” O.K. if you can find joy in that, you can pretty much find joy anywhere.

Jesus had big plans for his disciples, but He knew they were far from being ready. He had a lot of ground to cover and very little time to do so. Jesus knew that during the next 12 hours these men would fail miserably, but He has a back up. He has a wild card to play that works every time.

There’s No Place Like Home
When life goes south, where do you go? I usually go to the refrigerator. Comfort food really is comforting. Jesus has a better place. He invites us to come home.. John 14:1-13 shows us that Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz had it right. There really is, no place like home.

People Who Change The World
Long before Mike Rowe produced Dirty Jobs, Jesus showed us how it’s done when he washed his disciples’ feet. You might be thinking, “Big deal. I’ve done worse” and you may be right, but you’re not God. So what is the point? If you want to find out, join us this Sunday as we continue our latest series, "People Who Change the World”.

Answer the Call
Abram was a man just like us. But, because he was willing to step out in faith, God promised to bless him and, through him, bless all the peoples on earth. This has always been God’s plan for redeeming His people.

What Happy Churches Know
There is a tendency to treat love like a noun, something you fall into and out of. When it comes to relationships it’s important that we make love a verb. It’s how we treat each other. When we do that, we realize that everyday there are choices we make to do or not to do the loving thing. Today we look at some important choices we can make every day that will bolster the quality of our relationships and help our church to be the Household of Oneness that the Trinity longs for us to be.

What Happy Churches Know

What Happy Churches Know

What Happy Churches Know

We’re going to take the next four weeks to investigate What Happy Churches Know!

Talk About Your Friends
The movie, Remember The Titans, is about the close friendships that developed on a high school football team in 1970. No one thought black and white coaches and athletes in Alexandria, VA, could ever come together, but they did in a big way. This week’s sermon is about relationships that are formed in a church between people who may not normally come together, but when they do become something wonderful.
