Everyone wants to be great. But Jesus, the greatest person who ever lived, both teaches and demonstrates that the in His kingdom things are a upside down.

Though granted great wisdom by God, Solomon didn't always make the wisest personal choices. His learns that isolating yourself can lead you into struggles.

Guest Speaker Jim Roper, Teaching Pastor at Island Community Church, brings this week's message.

Though granted great wisdom by God, Solomon didn't always make the wisest personal choices. His life shows that ignoring the wisdom of God will ruin your life.

Though granted great wisdom by God, Solomon didn't always make the wisest personal choices. His life shows that pursuing pleasure is not the route to happiness.

In the sermon on the mount, Jesus reminds us that He and His kingdom are to be our first priority. Devoting our energy there, instead of to worry, leads to worship.

The book of Psalms, the longest in the Bible, was the worship book of Israel. In it we can learn various ways to praise our great God.

The archangel Lucifer was uniquely created to worship God, but his pride and ambition led to his fall. We, too, are uniquely created to worship God and must guard against the temptations of the enemy.

Dr. Gary Johnson of the Miami Baptist Association with a message to and for fathers.

We all have something unique to 'bring to the table', a way we are uniquely created to serve in God's family.

When considering the disciples of Jesus, we can see ourselves and be reminded that everyone is welcome at His table.

Rahab, a prostitute, is listed in both the geneology of Jesus and in Hebrews 11 because of her great faith.

Near the end of his life, the Apostle Paul gives 3 pieces of advice that we can all use as we try to live out our faith and follow Jesus.

Just because something seems unfair does not mean it isn't true. So when we dismiss the claims of Jesus because we find them narrow and unfair, we never grapple with the fact that they just might be true.

All religions have their list of rights and wrongs. And since no one can follow the rules perfectly, we are put at odds with God. But rather than asking us to do something for Him, God did for us what we couldn't do.
