While the “love evolution” is always a work in progress, the rewards along the way are countless and eternal.

People who do not t live in regions populated by mountains are always amazed when they see a mountain from a distance or up close. No picture can ever replace the real life image of a mountain. Jesus Disciples were awe struck by the mountain and their Savior. So much so that they wanted to build a Temple on the mountain top. Although it was an amazing proposal, Jesus adjusted their thinking an refocused their ministry.

Worship Synopsis:
In life, we invest in people and things and we expect a return on our investment. There are times when we see the realization of our investment and there are other times when we never receive a return on our investment and feel like we lost everything. We wake up to the reality that life is not always fair or fun. We want our change back but it's gone. Ultimately, we arrive at a point when we can walk away and move on to better and greater things.

Life sometimes seems like a toy train set that goes around and around. At first it is exciting when you open the box, put the tracks together and watch the train loop around the pre-set tracks for the first time. As time moves on and the train continues to go around and around we quickly become bored with the idea of watching train go around a track in a predictable pattern. Often this leeds to extreme boredom. If we are not careful we compromise and stay on the same track year after year. In Revelation 21, we are reminded of God's power to make all things new. Our lives change when we understand that God has the power to make things new and we take authority to change the patterns and tracks in our lives. We aren't truly living when we live life in predictable circles...

Synopsis: Have you ever been your own worst enemy? Sometimes we blame other people for the mess we are in and fail to see that we may have caused the mess. Abraham was blessed by God and still doubted Gods goodness. He lied when he should have told the truth and trusted God. Sometimes we are the cause of our own failure through self-sabotage.

Synopsis: Once I heard a preacher use Life Savers candy as an example. This example made an impression on my life; I am using it now to discuss how Gods call on our lives makes an Impact on someone elses life. In John 15:12-13 Jesus expresses the importance of loving our friends. We are challenging people to make an Impact by doing something significant for someone else. We are asking people to serve as a Life Saver by registering to be an organ donor and to commit to other random acts of kindness.

Synopsis: We highlight players on a team and often never notice the supporting cast members. Every great college basketball team has managers, cheerleaders and bands. These individuals provide the inspiration and encouragement that helps propel teams and players into greatness. In Exodus 17, Moses team (The Israelites) was fighting a battle against the Amalekites and they won because Moses hands were constantly lifted. Whenever Moses hands became tired Aaron and Hur supported him to enable the Israelites to keep winning. Sometimes we win games because of the greatness of the supporting cast and not solely because of the greatness of the players.
