The setting of a story has a lot of power over the story that emerges. The story of Christmas has a very uncomfortable setting! Often the setting for our story is a set-up from God. Maybe you feel like your setting disqualifies you from your future, but during this message from Pastor Kevin Simmons you’ll see that God is working to set you up!

What makes you uncomfortable? It might be something as simple as a word that’s spoken, a topic of conversation, or even reliving a past experience. When we look at the story of Christmas, everything about it is uncomfortable. During this message Pastor Kevin Simmons shares with us how to get comfortable being uncomfortable!

Have you ever ended up somewhere you didn’t want to be? Life can be like that! When we live without purpose, our destination drifts and we end up somewhere we never wanted to go! God has a design for you, and that plan is going to take you farther than you could ever imagine going! During this message Pastor Kevin Simmons shares with us how God’s plan for our finances helps us stay in focus and keeps our hope from drifting!

Money is a common point of stress for most of us. Jesus taught on money more than any other subject, and the Scriptures are full of wisdom to help you navigate your personal finances better. During this message, Pastor Kevin Simmons shows us that what we do with our money is more important than what we often think!

Are you holding on to a past hurt, habit, or hang-up? Have you struggled with telling others, yourself, and even God what should have happened in life? Maybe you’re struggling with bitterness! During this message Amanda Simmons is going to explore the Old Testament story of Jonah and show you how God wants to deal with our bitterness!

It’s far too easy to hijack God’s authority to decide what’s right and wrong. When we do that, we invite trouble. We aren’t designed to be judge, not for others and not even for ourselves. In this message Pastor Kevin Simmons shares with us how judgement becomes a distinct barrier to God’s grace in our lives and shows us how overcome it!

Pride is a word we use many different ways. Maybe you’re proud of yourself for making it to the gym every day this week. Perhaps you’re proud of your kids for making good grades. What if there’s a kind of pride that kills your relationship with God? During this message Pastor Kevin Simmons and Amanda Simmons share with us how pride can keep us from experiencing God’s grace and giving grace to others!
