Ephesians 4:29-32 

Transparency – Truth Matters

Today’s message focuses on “truth.” To live a transparent life, we should be able to answer these questions: What is truth? What happens when truth does not matter? What happens when truth does matter? How do we discover truth? Truth separates us from the darkness of this world to bring light and glory to God.
Pastor Alan Stover
Ephesians 4:25-28

Transparency – Accountability Matters

Christians experience a changed life. We take off the old clothes that we once had and put on the new clothes provided by God. This scripture (Ephesians 4:20-24) is holding us accountable to our new self in God.
Pastor Alan Stover
Ephesians 4:20-24

Transparency – Loving Correction Matters

Loving correction matters because our life is a heart issue. This message helps us understand how our natural heart is hardened, and what the results are of a hardened heart. Faith alone in Christ alone is salvation!
Pastor Alan Stover
Ephesians 4:17-19

Transparency – Love Matters

Love matters to Jesus. He desires His Church to grow up into His likeness. He calls us to a transparent work in the love of the Great "I Am" - the First and the Last; the Living One; the One who holds the keys of death and Hades. Love Matters!
Pastor Alan Stover
Ephesians 4:14-16

Transparency – Spiritual Leadership Matters

These three verses of Ephesians point to He who gave; our responsibility to prepare; and unity in the fullness of Christ. Authentic transparent spiritual leadership is called upon to empower the church in its mission.
Pastor Alan Stover
Ephesians 4:11-13

Transparency – Spiritual Gifts Matter

Gift-Based Ministry is God's way of doing Church. God gifts His Church with everything it needs to do everything He plans to advance His Kingdom. He apportions spiritual gifts through the generous grace of Jesus Christ so the Church can transparently function as the Body of Christ. This message also describes why spiritual gifts matter from an historical perspective and the great victory won at the cross.
Pastor Alan Stover
Ephesians 4:7-10

Transparency – Unity Matters

Today Pastor Alan starts a new series, "Transparency Matters", based on Ephesians 4. Alan will explore Ephesians 4:1-6 and look at Unified Calling, Unified Character, and Unified Confession.
Pastor Alan Stover
Ephesians 4:1-6

Free Indeed

It is only natural for people to feel like they are in bondage. If it wasn't for Jesus, that bondage to sin and death would keep us in the dark through the day we die. But there is good news! Jesus, in His own Words, "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
Pastor Alan Stover
John 8:36
