1 John 3:17-18 "How to Neighbor: Empowering the Poor"

Message: 1 John 3:17-18 “How to Neighbor 3: Empowering the Poor”

Poverty goes beyond material lack, it extends to one’s mindset (the way one thinks). The root of poverty is brokenness; from brokenness in one’s own life to brokenness in societal systems. This message will focus on Jesus’ call to help others in healthy ways and differentiate between unhealthy ways that often do more harm than good.

In this message we’ll look at how we are called to move beyond passing laws and toward entering into the world of the fatherless. Adoption is one of the most Christ-like acts we can do.

Hebrews 11:24-27 "Get Started"

Message: Hebrews 11: 24-26 “Get Started”

We can never finish the things we never start.
Sometimes, we spend so much time thinking about how to start something that we never actually start it. In this sermon we'll look at how Moses had a few excuses when God told him to go back to Egypt and free the Israelites. But for every excuse, God will always be with us and equip us if we just step out in faith.
