We conclude this series looking at peace in the person of Jesus Christ. What sort of peace does Jesus bring us?
Prince of Peace Wk 3. Everlasting Father

This week, we complete our series The Power of Thanks, looking at how God desires a thankful heart through an example of an encounter Jesus had. Why is thankfulness so important and good for us? NOTE: This week's message was live-streamed from Pastor David's home due to some plumbing issues at the church. We hope to be back next week, but until then we are thankful for technology!!

As we conclude our study in the book of James, we look at what this pastor says about the role of waiting for God and how praying turns our waiting into something not passive, but an act of trust and faith.
James: Speaking and Boasting
James addresses the power of our words this week as we continue in our James series. Also, the futility of boasting, and how what we say, how we say it and even why we say it can have long-lasting effects on those in our lives!
James: Faith and Works
We're continuing in James, looking at the marriage of works with our faith. James implores us to not display a "dead" faith, but to prove our life in Christ through our actions. We are not saved because of our works, but we are saved to do good works!
James: Listening and Doing
As we finish James chapter one, we look at James' command to us to be more than hearers of the word of God. We are called to be people of action! James will repeat this theme throughout his letter, but he lays the foundation today. What does it look like for us to respond to God's word?
James: Testing and Persevering

Mark 8:27–34; 9:2–13 - Who Do You Say I Am?
We are continuing in our series in Mark's gospel today. Jesus takes his disciples to a very interesting location and asks them a powerful question, "who do you say I am?" Throughout this conversation, we learn what Christ means, and who Jesus truly is. We must then, as Christians, ask ourselves the same question, "Who do WE say Jesus is?"
Easter Sunday - The Greatest Comeback Ever!
