The question of healing is one that seems to put people in the Church at odds with one another. Together we look at the ministry of Jesus and how He responded when people sought Him out for healing. Over and over we see, “Jesus Healed Them All.”
Jesus Healed Them All
Healed With A Word
In this day of televangelism and theatrics, we need to be reminded that Jesus healed all who asked Him, and often He did little more than simply speak a word of healing to them. Healing isn’t a chance for men to show off, it’s a time when we let the Father show His love and how He keeps His promises.
What Do I Have To Do To Be Healed?
Healing seems to some to be elusive, but is it? God often requires that we have a level of cooperation to see His promises manifest. In Deuteronomy 28 it is “If you diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord your God.” In James it is “Confess your faults one to another and pray for one another that you may be healed.” Whatever it is He asks of you, you need only do it to find that He is always faithful to do His part.
Make Room For Daddy
We can measure the value we place on people and things by the amount of room we give them in our lives. In this special Father’s Day message Pastor Pat looks at the importance of making room for the Father in our lives.

Sowing and Reaping: Do the Word!
When we look at the topic of Sowing and Reaping, it is those who sow who can expect a harvest. Be a doer of the Word and sow, sow, sow!
Sowing and Reaping: Justice Reigns
God isn’t playing favorites, but rather, He gives everyone an equal chance to produce fruit. But, in order to produce fruit, we have to multiply what has been son in us by sowing it into others.
Sowing and Reaping: What Limits Your Fruit?
All it takes is a cursory glance around to see that not everyone lives to the same level in the Kingdom of God. Even in good ground we see that the see produces differently with different people. In this session we look at what it is that impacts our fruitfulness.
Sowing and Reaping: Just Dirt
Sometimes we want to make our role bigger than it really is. Our job is to be good dirt. We receive the seed, feed it what it needs to grow and produce, and enjoy what it gives us in return. But, in the end, we are just dirt. Without the life giving breath of God, we have nothing to offer. Filled with and controlled by the Holy Spirit we are a fruitful and productive force for the Kingdom of God.
Grow a Backbone
As a church, we are one part of the Body of Christ. We are not the head, no, that’s Jesus. The Head is the control center of the body, and we want Jesus to have something to work with. The Head communicates to the body and receives communication from the body via the neck. Together we’ll look at how the Ministry Gifts fill that role for the Local Church. Finally we talk about the frame upon which the body draws for its flexibility and strength, the backbone. It is time for members to step up into leadership and help us be the body God has called us to be.
Communion Celebration
Too often we take Communion and its meaning for granted. In this message Pastor Pat reminds us of the powerful meaning behind our regular celebration.

Serving One Another In Love
As we continue our discussion of what it takes to grow a healthy church, together we look at the foundation building blocks, not the least of which is our willingness to serve one another. Pastor Pat walks us through the simple yet profound premise that we, the Church, will be marked by our love for one another demonstrated both inside and outside the four walls of the church house.
