Rebuild My Life Part 2: Blueprints // Pastor Keith Indovino

Once we have identified what needs fixing in our world, we need to act! What is God calling you to do about the brokenness? You need a God-given vision for your life! If you can’t define it, you can’t do it! Every person was created on purpose for a purpose. Through Nehemiah, we discover that making a vision become reality involves a purpose, planning, and Providence. The result of your obedience has the potential to impact more people than you can imagine!

Rebuild My Life Part 1: Breaking Point // Pastor Keith Indovino

Nehemiah was an ordinary person who hit a breaking point when he saw a need. Before you can build, you have to have a burden. Rebuilding involves: Sitting down to cry, kneeling down to pray, and standing up to act. God is your Redeemer! There is no part of your life that is too broken that He cannot restore!

Anxious For Nothing Part 4: The Perspective of Praise // Pastor Amy Indovino

Too often we allow what we are facing to be the lens that we view life through. Our perspective is shaped by our situation. What can change our perspective? Praise! While Paul was in prison, he chose to praise God. He didn’t need a breakthrough to begin praising; his assurance and hope was in the saving work of Jesus! Through Christ, God has set us free from sin. This is our reason to praise Him!

Anxious For Nothing Part 3: Never Stop Praying // Joe Caiati

How do you find peace and when living a life of anxiety? When fear and worry grip your hearts? Philippians 4:4-7 promises peace that  “transcends all understanding”. How can we find peace that only God can give when your mind is racing and you can’t focus because of anxious thoughts?. We learn from the story of Daniel that prayer is our first response! Use anxiety as an alert to start praying and as 1 Thessalonians 5:17 states it: never stop praying. Daniel surrendered to and trusted God in everything and was met with salvation from the lion’s den. But Daniel’s story points us to Jesus, who surrendered to the Father, was faithful to the end, and died for our sins so that we can have a relationship with God through prayer and scripture.

Anxious For Nothing Part 2: Forget To Worry // Pastor Keith Indovino

Everyone is prone to worry. At its root, worry is forgetfulness. Jesus taught a large crowd of worriers how they could overcome. By looking at the birds and the flowers He showed us that when we worry we forget our value, our Father, and our purpose. What would your life be like if you could forget to worry?! Replace worry with worship by trusting in the God who is in full control.

Anxious For Nothing Part 1: Worst Case Scenario // Pastor Keith Indovino

All of us know what it is like to be overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, and fear and play out scenarios in our minds. We can allow the worst-case scenario to be the narrative that shapes us; but how often do those worries come true? From prison, Paul wrote, “Be anxious for nothing.” Elijah experienced God’s power, protection, provision, and presence, yet he made four mistakes we can make that lead us to live with anxiety. Discover why even the worst-case scenarios aren’t bad for believers. Because of Jesus, we can trust that the Lord is near!

Easter Sunday: Your Miracle // Pastor Keith Indovino

There are three key parts of our lives: Identity, Mission, and Vision. Apart from Jesus, each one of those pieces is temporary and can be lost without any notice. The resurrected Savior appeared to Peter and the disciples for “The Last Breakfast” on the beach. It was there that he restored Peter after he denied Him three times. Because Jesus is alive, we can live with a sure hope that not even death can take away! Everyone who believes and accepts Jesus receives eternal life!

Miracles Part 6: Miracles Are Messy // Pastor Keith Indovino

Life is messy. It seems like all of our plans from last month won’t work this month as we continue to navigate COVID-19. Following Jesus in the messes of life can be messy too! So what should we do? By healing the man born blind, Jesus gives us some incredible truths to guide us in the mess. The gospel leads us to ask more vertical questions and less horizontal questions. The One who said, “Let there be light” declares “Let there be sight” so we can trust God in the mess. We will see miracles as we walk by faith. Spiritual blindness is cured as we look to Jesus!

Miracles Part 5: The Shore of Peace // Pastor Keith Indovino

How do we navigate the storms of life? COVID-19 is continuing to spread and with it, so is fear. We can reach in: to muscle up and find our solution in ourselves. We can reach out: lean on the power of other people. We can reach up: trust in the I AM and allow Him to take control. The disciples were in the middle of nowhere in a storm when the water walker appeared. They “let him in the boat” and immediately arrived where they were going. The result of giving Jesus control is arriving on the shore of peace.

Miracles Part 4: He Already Knew // Pastor Keith Indovino

How do you respond when a BIG crisis happens? It is so easy to be overwhelmed by the immensity of a situation, that we become self-focused and do nothing to help others. When the problem is too big and the resources are too small, the stage is set for a miracle! Jesus already knows what He is going to do! We can trust Him, live generously, and become waiters that meet the needs of others! God gave his first and his best by sending Jesus to this world to be lifted up on a cross so we could be saved!
