This week in our series we are going to be talking about telling lies. Have you ever told a lie? Of course, you have, we all lie. What about those little white lies? No big deal at all, right? What if I told you there are no such things as little innocent lies? While some don't think this is a big deal, it really is

This week we are going to talk about criticism! As our example, Jesus models us not to criticize others but to encourage them! Our words matter, they have the power to bring life and death, to criticize and bring hope! What will you do today? When we criticize others we believe we know better than them. While in some circumstances we may, most of the time we have no idea what is going on in that person's life. Instead of criticizing them, how about helping them!

This week we start a new series called "Me & My Big Mouth." Our words matter, Jesus even goes further and says words can bring life or death. Do you ever complain? Why? Is it because everyone complains? Today we can choose to change our perspective.

Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed? Have you ever found that when life goes sideways your faith struggles? Jesus said we WILL have tribulations, but He has OVERCOME the World! It is our choice. It is up to us to choose to continue to try to do it on our own and think we are in control, or choose to trust God. Watch more to find out more about our choices.

This morning we have a special guest speaker. Jeff brings a wonderful message about getting out of the kiddie pool! You would be surprised how many of us are stuck in the kiddie pool (by choice). It is time to step out! You don't want to miss this message!

Today a message from Pastor Tommy about what to do when life seems like just too much. The Apostle Paul talks about feeling sorrow upon sorrow, a great description of grief or distress. It means wave upon wave, like when it seems like nothing else could go wrong, and then of course it does. It is during these times that you need to lean into God, don't isolate yourself, and remember it is okay to not be okay. Why? Because Jesus defeated death and the power of it!

It's Easter Sunday! Today we celebrate the gift of hope, the gift of freedom, and the gift of grace! Listen today as we look at what Jesus wants from you and wants to give you. God loves you so much, He loves you just as you are, even if you are a hotness. Actually, we are all a hotness. There is nothing you can do to stop Him from loving you, just as there is nothing you can do to make Him love you less.

This week we have a guest speaker, Austin Loza. He's not much of a guest since he's a member, elder, and youth director for us! Austin closes out our series of Grace and prepares us for Holy Week.
