Senior Pastor Byron Beck speaks about a snare that many of us fall prey to in our lives. What event in your past has crippled you so? God can free us from our sin. Real freedom means being able to leave behind the baggage that can do so much to damage our lives. The Word of God tells us to leave behind the past and move forward in His light.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck speaks a second week on the challenge to accept and love others. We often look down on those that don't fit our requirements. Yet, God has commanded us to love others for when we do, we are loving Him. This second installment builds off the struggle we have within our minds to judge others and label them and takes us to the required outflow of love we must show them. After all, Christ died for everyone because He loves everyone.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck unveils a hidden sin that many of us tend to allow into our lives - gossip. But, not just gossip - mental gossip. A new concept of internal judgmental thoughts where we think ugly thoughts about someone, dubbing them in a negative light. This can eventually make it's way out of our thoughts and into our treatment of others. As Paul said, "I (we) must take captive certain thoughts", referring to self-control and devotion to the Lord. Showing the love of Christ for others begins within us and is carried out with how we treat others. The mind is a powerful thing!

Senior Pastor Byron Beck speaks on the powerful effect of belonging. We all need God because we are built to belong. How wonderful it is that we are a chosen people and can be part of a royal priesthood! There is a Savior that offers us peace, strength, love and redemption - not because we deserve it or can earn it, but because there is grace. We can also help show the world around us the power of this belonging to God.
