The Beginning and End of False Religion – Part 2

This message continues our study of Revelation 17 and the final end of all false religions. As we said last time, false religion is like fake medicine. It is taken by someone who is dying hoping to be made well. Worse than just being sick, the person taking fake medicine believes they are getting better. …

Seeing God’s Perfection in Our Weakness

We usually try to put our best side forward and often, try to present ourselves better than we really are. In a world where weakness is exploited and only the exceptional are celebrated, it is understandable that we never want to let our flaws or limitations show. Unfortunately, our efforts to always appear perfect and in…

Shoebox Sunday!

Today is a special day! Each year we fill shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child and have a special Sunday where we pray for them and send them off. We expect to have over 100 boxes to pray over this year! The service is both a celebration and a time of prayer. We pray and ask…

What is God like? What would it be like to stand before His throne? Would it be wonderful, or dreadful? In Revelation 4, we see John finding out the answer to this. But the real message is not "what is it like to look into Heaven"; the important question is, "what is HE like?" This…

Today, two young men from our church who go to Meadowbrook, Michael and Alex, will be sharing about their trip to Puerto Rico that they took this past November. They will be…

Back to School With God

School. It's a very controversial term. Some kids are excited about returning to school and will say so. Others loath the idea of returning and make that abundantly clear. What about adults? Again, we are divided. Some are glad to have the stable, six-hours-a-day, state mandated activity return. Others dread the transportation issues, the homework,…

Justice for All – Addressing Racism Biblically

If we believe that racism is wrong based on the objective Word of God (See "What is Our Authority"), then we should also look to the same source for the solution of racism. This message seeks to find a distinctively biblical method to address both our own tendencies towards bias and how to practice brining…
