Home to a gold mine, the citizens of Philippi were materially wealthy but spiritually sad. That’s why Paul challenges them in his letter to find joy in their relationship with Jesus. In this message we will look at how the spiritual poverty of Kentucky can be overcome with an eternal wealth that money cannot buy.

From pornography to prostitution, Ephesus was a deviant place filled with people who were looking for something better than the next one night stand. In this message we will look at how the addictive tendencies in Kentucky offer an opportunity for the church to meet an unmet need and unsatisfied appetite in people with real hope.

(Acts 16:1-5; II Timothy 1:1-7): God designed the church to be multi-generational. The wisdom of older people is strengthened by the passion of younger people. In this message we will look at a young leader who was given a difficult assignment, but refused to give up.

(Acts 16:16-40): The mission of God requires a special mixture of obedience and courage and an endurance that refuses to give up no matter how challenging the circumstances become. In this message we will look at a joyful prisoner whose outlook on life was used by God to lead other prisoners to Jesus.

(Acts 16:11-15): Healthy churches always have healthy volunteer cultures where everyone contributes and serves. Lydia was a successful businesswoman who opened up her home as a place to launch a church. In this sermon we will look at how hospitality is often a key to helping people feel safe and loved in the presence of God.

(Acts 8:26-40): The grace we’ve received from God is too good to keep to ourselves. Philip looked for opportunities to share the difference that grace had made in his life and God led him to an unlikely person and an unlikely conversation took place as a result. In this message we will look at our responsibility to share our faith with non-believers in a way that is true to our personality.

(Acts 4:32-37): The first church in Jerusalem had a generous man named Joseph who earned the nickname “Barnabas” (son of encouragement) because of how he blessed others. In this message we will look at how each of us has a spiritual gift that is meant to be used for the good of others and the glory of God.

(Romans 12:1-2): In order to act differently than those around us we have to first think differently than those around us. Paul tells us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice to God. What we do and don’t do with our bodies is an act of worship. In this message we will look at what the Bible has to say about our physical bodies and sex. We will learn that conforming to our culture only leads to brokenness and chaos while what Jesus calls us to leads to freedom and joy.

(Romans 12:1-2): We are told to “discern” what God’s will is as opposed to seeking the approval of people. Our highest concern should be what God says is best, not what other people think. Living for the approval of people isn’t freedom; it’s slavery.

(Romans 12:1-2): Our culture values money, possessions, success, and fame as the highest virtues. God doesn’t see them as virtues at all. God determines what’s good, true, and beautiful so when we look to Him for answers He will always point us in the direction of true wealth.
