ACCOUNTABLE FRIENDSHIPS: Please pray that we Jesus would fill us to step up into friendships that care enough to keep us accountable and help each other grow in Jesus! 

Sermon Update

“He teaches us that the purpose of your praying, your fasting, and your giving is to be directed TO God not TO get the praise of people. HOWEVER, when it comes to actually worshipping Jesus, especially when we’re gathered to do so, it is right, good, and proper for us to praise HIM publicly because the whole point of worship is that we’re praising JESUS, not ourselves…Worship is not about US. It’s about HIM.” – David Kitani

Sermon Update

“Fasting, at its heart, is not eating food for a specific period of time to get more of God’s spirit to fulfill the deep hunger of our souls. We fast from food to feast on God…It develops spiritual muscles so that when we come to forbidden desires…when my body says ‘I want that sex, I want to just express my anger that way, I want to just waste my money that way!’ We say ‘No, you’re gonna get Jesus and He’s better.'” – Pastor Chris Rattay

Sermon Update

“We learn how to give good gifts from God Himself.  He is our model and inspiration. He is the one who saw our great need…Yet, instead of leaving us to figure it out on our own, He gave everything to save us…the most precious that He had, He gave His only son. I want you to stop right there. I will never give anyone my children…It is almost impossible for my brain to understand God giving us selfish, sinful, rebellious people His only son, knowing that we were going to make Him suffer in every imaginable way…you cannot outgive God.” – Chris Rattay

C’mon and take me, suck me right in to that grave because Im gonna go right to the very core of your being and I’m gonna shatter you so completely and thoroughly that there will never be a funeral or a shed tear ever again.’” – Chris Rattay

“Jesus flips this image of a yoke on its head by presenting a yoke, a bond, that make things LIGHTER. All other things and people we give and bind ourselves to can make us heavier BUT being bound to Jesus is the only bond that FREES us as opposed to WEIGHING us down.” – David Kitani
