Our world teaches us that we need to be perfect- or at least APPEAR perfect. Does Jesus expect the same from us? Absolutely NOT! Come to hear the open confessions of a (sometimes irreverent) Reverend... and MAYBE... consider offering some confessions of your own! Our God wants us FREE from fear, pain and unhealthy constructs in our lives, hearts and souls. Come find freedom through confession!
See you Sunday! Worship at 8:30am (outdoors) & 10:30am (in air conditioning)! |

Series is inspired from a reading from Rev Craig Groeschel's Book CONFESSIONS OF A PASTOR: Dropping the Pose and Getting Real With God.

I Was Living a Lie! - Psalm 32
It's easy to live in lies. Most of the time, we all prefer the 'dressed up lie' to the 'naked truth'... but only one of those helps us to truly find peace... and only one of those is the Way of God. Isn't it time we faced the Truth? |

I Don't Always Like Hanging Out with 'Christians'- 1 Peter 1:14-19
I'll be honest (which is what this series is all about, isn't it?). Some (so called) 'Christians' scare me! Some make me sad. Some... confuse the heck out of me. The good news, is that my faith doesn't have to be defined by any of that! |

I Often Feel Completely Inadequate to Serve God- Galatians 2:16-20
I imagine this is common for a lot of people. I mean... who WOULD feel qualified to serve God? The reality though, is that NONE of us ARE worthy. That's the whole point. We BECOME worthy, because God says that we are, which is something He is allowed to do. The trick, is to trust that God knows what He is talking about. Come to worship, and see that God was right- all along! |

I Wonder Why God Would Accept Me
- Ephesians 2 : 1-10 MY GOODNESS- I worry a lot. I just wonder if my failings or my past sins make me a bad consideration for God's Grace. A lot of people worry that their past mistakes are simply TOO grievous for God to forgive them. NOT TRUE. Come hear of God TOTAL acceptance of you, warts and all! |

I Struggle With the Same Dumb Sins
- Romans 12:1, 6-21 I get SO frustrated that keep falling into the same dumb patterns that lead me into the same dumb sins! I've got to imagine that God is so frustrated with me... but I realize that it's my own frustration with myself, that is keeping me from actually trying to change my behavior! Come hear Paul's Words of Wisdom in Scripture! |

I Don't Always Hear God Clearly
- 1 John 5 : 1-15 I pray. I pray- A LOT! Sometimes, I just can't really hear God voice well. Those are the times that I know I've allowed 'other things' to get in the way of my relationship with My Lord. That isn't a thing to be ashamed of, because 'shame' is just another one of those things that can limit my ability to hear God well! Come see how to clear up your communication with God! |

One Last Confession
- Col 3:9-15 This isn't the last confession I'll ever make... just the last one for this open, public sharing of my own struggles. Come and share the struggles of your heart, and feel the freedom from leaving the pain behind. You aren't alone- and you never have to be again! You are Beloved! Welcome Home! |
