One has to feel for those folks with the “STOP” and “SLOW” spinny signs that manage traffic in road construction areas. They are there whether the temperatures are sub-freezing in the winter or nearing 100 degrees in the summer. Of course, their primary purpose is to not only route traffic around the blocked roadway, but also to ensure the safety of the construction workers as well as those driving through the area. Likewise, we will encounter roadblocks in life, whether seen or unseen, and the goal is to get beyond them in the best way possible. The good news is that we have an Advocate to help us do just that. Listen in as Sunday Pastor Brady continues his 5-week series called “Life Lessons from Hebrews” with the next message entitled “Overcoming the Unseen Roadblocks”.

It is not uncommon in the world of marketing these days that you find retailers offering different levels of price and product quality in the effort to fit every budget and need. They offer a good, better, or best solution to try and meet your expectations. Notice that the categories are never, “Worst, Terrible, and Not so Bad”, which, to no surprise, would not sell much product. Well, it turns out that the best thing in life IS actually free. Tune in as Pastor Brady begins a new 5-week series called “Life Lessons from Hebrews” with the first message entitled “The Best Just Got Better”.

In the sports world, many times you can tell how much effort a player put into the game by looking at his uniform afterwards. If it’s dirty, it most likely indicates that that person played pretty hard. Likewise, if we are loving and serving others like Jesus, then our “uniforms” are going to get dirty. When we ultimately face Jesus, we don’t want Him to find that we “played it safe” and stand before Him with a clean uniform. Listen in as Pastor Brady wraps up his 3-week series called “More Than A Slogan” with the final message entitled “The Hands and Feet that Follow”.

For a very long time, humans have identified the heart as the center or seat of our emotions. Jesus said that those things that take priority in our hearts is what we really treasure the most. The question each of us needs to answer is, will what we prioritize make any eternal difference in our lives or in the lives of those around us? Maybe we need to set aside our wants and desires, dig a little deeper, and let the One that loves us the most take first place in our hearts. Listen in as Pastor Brady continues his 3-week series called “More Than A Slogan” with the second installment entitled “Getting to the Heart of the Matter”.

You may remember sitting through a painful meeting at work or a boring class in school where, after several minutes, your mind began to drift to other things. But just before that daydream, you may have been thinking, “Come on, man – we’ve heard this – skip the fluff and get right to the meat. Enough sloganeering” (yeah, it’s a word). We hear overused slogans so much that sometimes we become numb to them. But sometimes, we really need to stop and revisit ones that truly are important. Listen in as Pastor Brady begins a 3-week series called “More Than A Slogan” with the first message entitled “It Starts with Your Head”.

In the days before GPS, a ship leaving the port of Philadelphia headed for a specific point in Europe would have its course plotted to ensure it arrived at the correct location. But a small heading error at the start of just 2 degrees without periodic adjustments over a distance of about 3100 miles would put the ship’s arrival about 109 miles away from its intended destination. That’s the cost of the navigator not being in constant communication with the pilot. The same applies to our spiritual journeys. We need constant course corrections by the Holy Spirit navigator to make sure we don’t clutter our spiritual lives with unnecessary and potentially harmful consequences. Listen in as Pastor Ray finishes up his 3-week series on Simplicity: Finding Peace by Uncluttering Your Life.

In your travels around the area, you may have encountered small signs that read “Got Junk?” or “Junk Hauling” with a phone number to call or web address to visit. While those guys can certainly help you with your physical junk, when it comes to the soul they won’t be of any help. None of them will be able to collect and remove that clutter and conflict that lives deep within our being and keeps us from living the abundant life that Jesus describes. Listen in as Pastor Ray shares the second installment of his 3-week series on Simplicity: Finding Peace by Uncluttering Your Life.

3(x + 4) + 2x – 5

Simplify.

Do you remember that task from math class where you had to simplify expressions? In the math world, simplification is the process of reducing an expression to its most basic, efficient form without changing its value. It’s not unlike our lives at times, too. It seems like life in the modern day can become overwhelming due to the complexity of our lives. Well, this Sunday Pastor Ray begins a 3-week series on Simplicity: Finding Peace by Uncluttering Your Life. Body, Soul, and Spirit. The first message is entitled Simplicity in Our Physical World, so listen in!

By the way, that expression simplifies to 5x+7 :)
