Stop Being Religious, Become "The Fixer"
Isaiah 58.1-12
The people of Judah had adopted special times of fasting to recognize their spiritual and physical condition of exile. But over time, these days of fasting ceased being times when people were focused on God and many just went through the motions. Join Pastor Greg as he shares that God desires more than personal holiness what true fasting that pleases God really looks like.

This weekend millions of Americans of flew flags, gathered with family, watched fireworks, and celebrated the blessings of our nation. That's appropriate. Gratitude is a Christian virtue. But how should a follower of Jesus love his or her country? Is there a right way to be patriotic for the believer? Join Pastor Greg as he shares insights from Paul's letter to Timothy on how we can discover the right kind of patriotism.
There are times when today's church seems to "play" church rather than "be" the church. Jesus did not go to the cross in order for us to go through the motions on Sunday morning and then act like God doesn't exist the rest of the week. There is only one way to "be" the church, and that is to be Christ's representatives, His people, in the world. Join Rev. Fletcher as he explores what the Scripture says about how we are to be "the people of God".
How many blessings have you received from God this week? How many times have you stopped to thank him for them? In today's story Jesus healed ten lepers, instructing them to show themselves to the priests, and they were healed as they went. Yet only one--a Samaritan--returned to praise God and thank Jesus. Join Pastor Greg as he shares Jesus' response to this lone man's reaction and how we might become people who, like the Samaritan, don't forget to come back to Jesus.
What if the greatest obstacle to spiritual growth is not having too little faith, but believing we need more before we can trust and obey? In today's passage, Jesus challenges his disciples and they respond, "Increase our faith!" Join Pastor Greg as he shows us how Jesus challenges our assumptions about faith, discipleship, and what it means to serve God.
In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, Jesus exposes the danger of seeing others as strangers rather than family. Join Pastor Greg as he shares this sobering story and shows how it challenges us to open our eyes, our hearts, and our lives to those whom God places at our gate, recognizing them as neighbors worthy of love and kinship.
In one of Jesus' most surprising parables, a dishonest manager is praised for using shrewdness to prepare for the future. Join Pastor Greg as he reveals how Jesus calls his followers to use their money, possessions, and opportunities wisely, in ways that honor God, and to invest in what lasts forever.
