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? 

WANTING MORE IN ’24 | GUEST SPEAKER Harvie Neatherlin | 12/31/23

This time of the year is a time when we get to put all of this past year’s success and failures behind us. 
It’s a time when we get to start with a clean slate. 
When you look at things through that lens, its like God is saying, “Take a deep breath, I’m giving you a fresh start”. 
So right now, take a deep breath and say to yourself, “This is going to be my best year ever”. 
Because no matter what this coming year throws at you, God has a formula for you to be successful. 

Make Room for the Baby | Making Room for Jesus | 12/24/23

God wanted to experience true love—so He became a baby. 
The whole point of your entire existence is that God wants to know what it is to be loved by you. Do you care about Him? Do you care about what He likes and doesn’t like? What He wants and doesn’t want?
Or are you so caught up in your own desires, your own needs and wants? Demanding your own way?

When You’re Overwhelmed | Making Room for Jesus | 12/17/23

“Lord, I am overwhelmed.  Please come to my help” (Isaiah 38:14b).
Have you ever felt like Isaiah? What can you do when you are overwhelmed? 
Here’s a little hint: Start by doing the exact opposite of what you feel like doing.  

Making Jesus Your Lord | Making Room for Jesus | 12/10/23

It’s one thing to say Jesus is your Savior, but an entirely different thing to make Him your Lord.
Have you made room for Him to tell you what to do?
Have you made room for Him to guide you?
Have you made room for Jesus to give you His vision? His plans?
God made you because He needs you. With that comes purpose and meaning for your life. And as long as you are still breathing and have blood pumping in your veins, God still has need for you in this life that you can begin to do.
