<p class="first">Pastor Gary Combs continues the "Time to Thrive" series with this message from Hebrews 11 entitled: "Time for Faith." In the book of Hebrews we read that “faith alone pleases God.” Hebrews chapter 11 is like the Faith Hall of Fame. It lists people who have pleased God because of their faith. We can have faith that pleases God.</p>

<p class="first">Pastor Gary Combs begins a new sermon series entitled "Time to Thrive" with this message from Mark 6. In the gospel of Mark, Jesus taught his disciples how to prepare for a miracle from God. He taught them how God wanted to use them to accomplish God-sized results where God received the glory. God is still in the miracle business. When we trust God with our lives we put ourselves in a place where miracles can happen. Is it time for a miracle in your life?</p>

<div class="js-clip_description description" data-expand-tooltip="Click to expand description">
<p class="first">Pastor Gary Combs concludes the 4-part series "iCommit" with this message from Matthew 20. In the book of Matthew, the mother of James and John asked Jesus for seats of authority for her sons on either side of Jesus. Jesus told her and all the disciples that following Him was not a call to be great in the way the world sees things. He said that the greatness they were called to was called servanthood. He told them to follow His example of service by being willing to contribute all that they had in serving God.</p>

<p class="first">Pastor Gary Combs continues the "iCommit" series with this message from Romans. In the book of Romans the apostle Paul told the Roman Christians that even though they had followed Christ by an individual decision they must recognize that in following Him they had become one body, connected to other believers. When we follow Christ we make must make an individual decision to follow, but that leads to a corporate identity. We become the body of Christ connected to every other believer.</p>
