"I wish I could figure out what God's plan is for my life." Many Christians have mouthed these anguished words. They read Jeremiah 29:11 and conclude that God has a detailed, tailored plan for their life that they just need to discover. This presumes that Jeremiah 29:11 is directed at us specifically, as well as the idea that we have no choices in life, kind of like chess pieces on a board that God moves around according to his will. When we start listening to the feelings of our heart, the passions that we have, or some "voice of God" we think we hear when we pray, in order to discover this plan, we are led either to idolatry or despair. What we really need is to trust the all-sufficient revealed Word of God and rejoice in the freedom it gives us through Christ.

You Can Have Life Without Limits | Are You Sure That's What It Means?

Series: Are You Sure That's What It Means?
Message: You Can Have Life Without Limits
Preacher: Pastor Steve Muller
Service Schedule: Sunday at 9:30am

Philippians 4:13
I Kings 19:1-18; Romans 8:18-25; Romans 8:31-39; Luke 12:22-34

Philippians 4:13 might easily be called the Christian version of, "Just do it." There's nothing you can't do if you set your mind to it...and trust in Jesus. Jesus will make it possible to achieve what you thought was impossible: beat cancer, found a Fortune 500 corporation, or win an Olympic medal. With Jesus at your side, there are no limits. But life is not one victory after another, even for the founder of a billion dollar corporation. What happens when we don't achieve what we want? We don't need Jesus as a mantra or a life coach but as a Savior sufficient to deliver us from sin, death and the power of the devil, and that's who he is. When we stop making it about our achievements and instead about Christ, we can have joy and peace at the highest points of life, and especially at the lowest.

Defeating Death: The Eternal Hope Through Christ

Service Schedule: Sunday at 9:30am

Dying seems so normal because it happens to everyone, making it tempting to think it's just part of the life God designed for us... but it isn't. Death is not our friend, nor is it something we should just "get used to" simply because it seems inevitable. Death is the consequence of sin and our enemy—an enemy that has been defeated by Christ, who took away the sin of the world.

As believers in Him, we have a sure and certain hope in the face of death, the hope of a real, eternal, physical life in a world as God originally intended it to be. Join us to explore this profound truth and find strength in the victory Christ has won over death.
