Devastation and Redemption
Can a 2,400 year old book speak to our current economic crisis? You may be surprised. Over the course of 6 weeks, we’ll be exploring what the man, Joel, the son of Pethuel had to say about “Devastation and Redemption.”
God has a plan bigger than any trauma we are facing. And, the Scripture shares that God will even use our trauma…something Satan meant for evil as something good in our lives and in the lives of people around us.

Rebel
Rebel: a Contrarian’s Guide to Growth
Next to Jesus the counter-cultural revolutionary, the greatest rebel found in the New Testament is Simon Peter. When his sense of loyalty over rode his sense of purpose, he dropped into the role of a UFC bad boy and took a swing at a man coming to apprehend Jesus. In a fit of defiance, he says, “I’ll never deny you Jesus!”...only to fall flat on his face.
God used those same God-given personality quirks to speak to the Christians scattered around the world, challenging them to grow in Jesus with the gusto.
In “Rebel: a Contrarian’s Guide to Growth,” Pastor Travis will be teaching out of 1 Peter. It will be challenging as we take a ride on the wild side of a revolutionary faith in Jesus Christ...growing beyond the boundaries that have hemmed us in for far too long while not being afraid of who God uniquely created us to be.

Dead White Guys (that changed the world)
Dead White Guys (who changed the world)
“Give me ten men who hate nothing but sin and love nothing but God, and we’ll change the world.” These are the words of a DEAD WHITE GUY, a short dead white guy who was regularly roughed up by his wife that towered above him. He had issues...but none so big that he could be stopped from radically transforming the face of the earth by communicating a passionate message of Jesus Christ.
Through a look at the lives of four dead white guys: John Wesley, D.L. Moody, Charles Spurgeon, and Charles Finney, we’ll learn to change the world and our lives with the emphases they brought to the world in their corner of the Church...no matter what color...or stage of physiological viability we are at.
Following is a schedule of the messages:
DEAD WHITE GUY #1 - John Wesley (audio - video)
DEAD WHITE GUY #2 - Charles Finney(audio-video)
DEAD WHITE GUY #3 - Charles Spurgeon(audio - video)
