A LIFE WELL LIVED: Lessons We Can Learn from the Life of Bill Compton

Our late brother Bill Compton, who was a vital part of our church, graduated to Heaven recently.  This teaching is not only a tribute to his memory, but also a lesson taken from the many godly attributes that Bill practiced in learning to live life well.  This teaching pays honor to a great man of God, but will also inspire you to be a better person that you've ever been and to learn to enjoy life to the full even in the midst of challenging circumstances.  

THE POWER OF PRAISE: Re-Discovering the Heart of Worship, pt. 4

In this final teaching of the series, Pastor Andy discusses the powerful results of praise.  In doing so, two deadly opposite attitudes that go unnoticed by a lot of God's people are also identified to help us live lives that are truly devoted to worshipping God in spirit and truth.  

THE PURPOSE OF PRAISE: Re-Discovering the Heart of Worship, part 3

Did you know that praise and worship isn't just a warm-up for the preaching at church?  Rather, God has a very strategic initiative in mind for His people when He commands us to praise Him.  Get ready to see a side of worship that you may have never been taught or considered.  

MICHAL AND THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY: Re-Discovering the Heart of Worship, pt. 2

How does God feel about expressive worship?  And how should we feel about it?  Does God prefer somber worship only?  Or does He provide a guideline in the Bible for various expressions of praise and worship?  And are there benefits to us regarding worship?  All these questions and more are addressed as we center our discussion around King David's wife Michal, who messed up terribly one day when she saw her husband dancing before the Lord.  This story provides some vital lessons for us as we learn about re-discovering the heart of true worship.  

THE ALABASTER JAR: Discovering the True Heart of Worship

The account of the formerly sinful woman who crashed the party and barged in uninvited to worship Jesus with an alabaster jar of perfume has many lessons regarding the heart of true worship.  We learn in this teaching the attitude that forms the foundation of worship that truly honors God, and several other accessory lessons about worship that the woman with the alabaster jar teaches us.  

SEPARATED: Faith Like Noah, pt. 3

In this last teaching in the Faith Like Noah series, we explore what it was the kept Noah faithful all those years in a world where everyone else was going in a different direction.  What kept Noah in close relationship with God amidst such a totally godless world?  These are principles and insights that can keep us faithful in a faithless world as well.  In doing so, we take a first hand look at signs of backsliding and false converts.  Are you one?  Find out here. 

SEEING THE UNSEEN: Faith Like Noah, pt. 2

Did you know that Noah was one of the only people in the Old Testament that God apparently appeared to only once?  And yet that one appearance kept Noah going for decades building the ark and serving as a preacher of righteousness to his generation.  Learn in this teaching the importance of seeing through the eyes of faith in order to see your vision come to pass.  And the first part of this teaching also deals with answers to several questions about the biblical account of the flood, providing credibility to this much-maligned account of one the greatest men of faith ever.  

RESURRECTION LIFE: All the Things Jesus Accomplished by Rising from the Tomb

Did you know that Jesus' resurrection wasn't just for Him alone, meaning that it wasn't just for that time to consummate the plan of redemption?  Jesus' resurrection power is alive and well today and relevant for our lives every day, especially if you've been flattened by life.  If you are down in any area of life, this teaching is for you, because Jesus' resurrection provides stand-up power for all those who are defeated and discouraged.  

THE BAIT OF SATAN: How to Move on from Past Pain and Mistreatment

In Pastor Andy's hiatus, the teaching time today was brought courtesy of John Bevere's recorded sermon on The Bait of Satan; an update to his classic book from 30 years ago.  

This teaching is potentially life-changing, and explains one reason why you may not feel close to God.  This teaching will help you recognize how dangerous unforgiveness is to a person's life, how to discern offense in your own life, and how to get free and start enjoying your walk with Christ again.
