Essential Worker Part 1: First Response // Pastor Keith Indovino

What is your first response when things happen throughout the day? Imagine how your life would be different if you chose to pray first.

Discover the answer Jesus gave his disciples when they said, “Teach us to pray.”

At The Movies Part 5: Playing Dress Up // Pastor Amy Indovino

Who are you trying to impress? We all have a tendency to want to "dress up" as more successful or put together than we actually are. Aladdin was a street rat. He believed the only way to be accepted was to become Prince Ali. Jacob, like Aladdin, was born worthless. His name meant deceiver, worthless, second-best. God met Jacob, and in His goodness, He changed his identity. We discover that we don't have to dress up and try to impress God. The gospel declares that we aren't good enough; but God loves us! You are invited to throw away our pretending and lying, and embrace the new nature Jesus has given us.

At The Movies Part 4: You Are Not Alone // Joe Caiati

Where do you go in your weakness? Do you tend to retreat, shutdown, or distract yourself from a problem? Elijah ran away out of fear and needed reminding that his Heavenly Father’s love is always available in times of weakness. Elijah’s story points us to Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice in his time of weakness so that we can delight knowing that our Father in heaven and Holy Spirit is with us even in the most difficult times. 

At The Movies Part 3: Break The Dam // Pastor Keith Indovino

There are systems in our world that are broken. In our personal lives, many of us have pasts that are filled with pain and hurt. How do we forgive others? How do we treat other people who are different than us? Through Paul’s letter to Philemon, we discover that barriers, no matter how strong they appear, come crashing down in light of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Reconciliation is possible when we embrace the truth that all people are equally in need of God’s grace.

At The Movies Part 2: A Terrible Ending // Pastor Keith Indovino

What do we do with a terrible ending? When a movie ends terribly, we leave a bad review and move on. But moving on in real life isn’t so easy. John the Baptist started out with a promising career. But his life ended terribly when his followers left him, he was imprisoned, he doubted Jesus, and was ultimately executed. Terrible endings cannot undo the destiny God has for your story to bring Him glory. When Christ is the center, even in the terrible endings you can still believe in the faithfulness of God.

At The Movies Part 1: When Life Is Hopeless // Pastor Keith Indovino

We all face hopeless situations. What do we do in moments where there seems to be no way out. Two people came to Jesus and discovered that His voice is what’s needed most when life feels hopeless. Hope comes from the One who saved us. God is constantly speaking. We have the privilege to know His voice and experience hope in the hardest seasons of life.

Rebuild My Life Part 8: Best Intentions // Pastor Amy Indovino

Why is it so hard to match our actions with our best intentions? The people of Israel vowed to keep their covenant to God, but after Nehemiah left, they broke their promises. Nehemiah returned and redirected their hearts towards honoring God. Paul wrote that what he wants to do he doesn't do because of our sinful nature. In Jesus there is freedom. As we surrender to the power of the Holy Spirit we can live a life where our intentions match our actions.

Rebuild My Life Part 7: You Did This! // Pastor Keith Indovino

Who gets the credit when you accomplish something great? It’s tempting to be filled with pride and boast of your achievements. After completing the wall, Nehemiah led the people to give God praise. Embrace a humble attitude. Recognize that all you have comes from God. Make the first phrase you say after completing a goal: “You did this!”
