God is calling us to get off the fence and decide who is the true God and follow him wholeheartedly – without reservation and without rival. We cannot worship the God of the Bible and other gods too. Get rid of your idols! (1 Kings 18:16-39)

Too many Christians today are more like Obadiah than Elijah. Will you take and stand and live out your convictions with courage or will you cave under pressure, blend in and live a life of fear and compromise? (1 Kings 18:1-15)

Do you want to be brave or safe? You can be one or the other but you can’t be both. (1 Kings 16:29-33; 17:1)

Although Joshua was born a slave in Egypt and faced overwhelming obstacles in his life, he became one of Israel’s greatest leaders. His legacy was defined by his faithfulness. Learn how Joshua developed this characteristic. (Numbers 14, Joshua 6, Joshua 24)

Moses is one of the great leaders of the children of Israel and even in the entire Bible. His place in history is cemented in place by his appearance with Christ and Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration. He is a true hero of our faith. In this message from the series entitled Ordinary Heroes we will explore the reasons why Moses was not only a great leader and hero but was also quite ordinary. In many ways Moses is like you and me and this can encourage us to think God wants to use ordinary people in heroic ways for the kingdom of God. (Exodus 15:13)

Noah walked with God. And although the road wasn’t always easy, he wasn’t alone. Anchoring himself in God allowed Noah to be a man of character and an ordinary hero of our faith. The question is – are you walking with God or with someone else? (Genesis 6, Colossians 2)

We need to stop living like Heaven is only a myth or a dream. We need to start living like Heaven is real and the place we were made for. That reality should change not only how we live out our lives but who we live it for. Learn to live with a eternal perspective and a new investment strategy. (Colossians 3:1-4; Matthew 5:19-21)

In eternity, God’s people will not be disembodied spirits floating in outer space somewhere. We will be redeemed people, in redeemed bodies, in a redeemed universe living on a redeemed earth. How exciting is that! (2 Peter 3:10-13; Revelation 21:1—22:1-5)

Before we can enter heaven a transformation needs to take place that will be completed with a new resurrected body that will be given to us at the return of Jesus Christ. What will our new body be like? Will we know each other? How will we relate? (1 Corinthians 15:1-58; Philippians 3:20-21; 1 John 3:2-3)

If heaven is the Christian’s hope, why aren’t we more excited about it? We can’t hope for what we don’t desire. Heaven is not only a real place but it’s God’s home and the Christian’s future home. God wants us to not only long for it but live for it. (1 Corinthians 2:9, 10; John 14:1-6)
