The Blessing | Guest Speaker Harvey Neatherlin | 3/10/24

How many of you came to church today hoping to receive a blessing? 
In my 48 years of ministry, I’ve found that almost everyone in attendance came hoping to receive a blessing from God! Now, if you are one of those people, I have some good news for you. God wants to bless you! But, some of you need to understand a little more about blessings The Hebrew language uses the word BARUCH to mean BLESSING. Notably it’s a word that means to INCREASE. 
So, when you and I ask God for a blessing we are saying, “God, increase us”. We want to receive more of You and we want to give more of You.

Be Steady | Pastor John Eaton | Faithfully | 3/3/24

God takes no shortcuts…not even one. He does things perfect. He does things right.
God provides paths to freedom. Paths to healing. Paths to wealth. Paths to good relationships. A path to life. 
Anything worth having is worth the steady path it takes to have it.

Being Stable | Pastor John Eaton | Faithfully | 2/25/24

How God operates in His relationships: He remains faithful even when we aren’t; and He shows Himself faithful to the faithful.
Don’t base your faithfulness on whether or not others are. Be the stable one.
And surround yourself with the faithful. Be faithful to the faithful. Show yourself to be stable to those who are faithful and stable in your life. Don’t let them down. Do whatever it takes to protect those relationships.

God is Faithful | Pastor John Eaton | Faithfully | 2/18/24

To be faithful, you have to start with faith. The Scripture tells us what faith is: “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Heb. 11:1 NIV).
Faith is knowing that something right and good is going to happen and doing something right and good because of that.

 

Listen | Pastor John Eaton | Getting Your Mojo Back | 2/11/24

You have the ability to listen to and understand properly what God is saying. You don’t have to live in the dark, like everything God has said is in code, too hard to understand.
There are times that people don’t want to hear what I am actually saying, trying to teach God’s principles, so they will not only not actually hear what I am saying, but they will make up words that I never said to justify their not listening. I know exactly what Jesus was talking about when He looked at the disciples and people around Him and said, “Are you listening? Really listening?”

Remember You Love | Pastor John Eaton | Getting Your Mojo Back | 2/4/24

To start this series, I want to talk with you about Remember You Love.
This is one of the things that God has a big problem with, people forget they love Him. 
In Revelation, listen to what God said to His church: “But this is what I have against you: you do not love me now as you did at first” (Rev. 2:4 GNT).

Commit to God’s Mission | Pastor John Eaton | Making the Right Commitments | 1/28/24

Like we talked about last week, God allows certain moments to get people where the need to be, for His Mission.
Your pain is a setup.
Even your failure is a setup.
God is always trying to reach people; it’s His Mission.
And God is always trying to recruit people to His Mission.

Commit to God’s PLAN | Making the Right Commitments | 1/21/24

God does have a plan. And every one of us have a part in that plan. You have a part. And no matter how small or seemingly insignificant you may feel you are, your part makes a huge difference.
You may think you are being humble by staying back, shrinking to the background of life, staying out of sight, not putting yourself out there. But BECAUSE you were created by God to do His PLAN, your life won’t make sense until you begin doing it. 

Commit Yourself to Love | Making the Right Commitments | 1/14/24

Today I want to talk with you about committing yourself to love. Without God, there is no love.
God IS love. Love IS God. For anyone to say they have love for anything or anyone is to acknowledge God’s existence. Love does not exist without God.

The Farmer, the Rancher, and the Henpecked Husband | Making the Right Commitments | 1/7/24

It’s important for you to know that in God’s Kingdom, you can’t wait for someone to twist your arm to get you to make the commitments you really need to make. 
You are going to have to do the work to love God and love us. God and nobody here is going to beg you, or talk you into it.
Here’s a question for you to answer as we get started in this new year:
Is your life committed to doing what you have chosen to love?
