When we lose a prized possession, we will search high and low for it and will be overjoyed when it is found.  Sin is something we often don't like to talk about even though it is what makes us lost.  But sin does not have the final word.  Jesus came to share a table with sinners offering grace and finding us in our lostness.  We are God's prized possession! 

Pastor Maressa discusses What does it really cost us to follow Jesus? Why is it worth it?
Join her as she examines how Luke 14:25-33 helps us wrestle through these

Everything in our world has a price! Cars, houses, fame, fortune, there is always a price to be paid.

But have you ever wondered what it might cost you to follow Jesus? Because it will definitely cost you something.

Join Pastor Randal as he covers Luke 14:25-33 and discusses "The Cost of being a Disciple."

In our society, people are always jockeying for position and trying to make friends in high places.  That can make life pretty complicated.  It was pretty much the same in Jesus' day.  And Jesus gives us some simple advice that takes courage.  Stop jockeying for position.  Make friends in low places.

Jesus was always getting in trouble for "sabotaging the Sabbath".  But was he?  Is Sabbath about restrictive religious rules, or is it about freedom?  How can we make Sabbath about what it was intended to be?  How can we make it a time for Christ to free us from the limitations that afflict us?

Does following Christ always make for peace, or will it sometimes cause division?  In this message Kevin talks about how even though Christ followers should not be the ones who intentionally set out to cause division, that if we are truly following Him, division will sometimes be the outcome.  How then do we handle that?

We are all slaves to someone or something.  Today Pastor Kevin talks about how our true faith is not just about what we believe.  It is rather about what ultimately inspires us to act. What is it that we cannot not do? Is your ultimate inspiration something that is not ultimate?

Pastor Kevin talks about a personal event in his life that relates closely to the sermon text and then interviews Becky Lambert, a former member of his youth group from his youth pastor days.  She is an example of someone who has chosen not to spend her life "building bigger barns" but instead investing her life for eternal purposes.

In this segment, Pastor Kevin and Pastor Gene discuss "Finding hope through unanswered prayers"

Do we sometimes over complicate things that are pretty simple by overthinking and using "Bible babble"?  Today as Pastor Kevin continues his series, Courageous Simplicity, he talks about the very well known story known as the Good Samaritan.  Jesus teaches us that life is found in the simple doing of mercy and not in overthought out religious ideas and debates.  If you know it, then simply do it!
