Guest speaker, Will Jones talks about how nobody likes to be told what they have to do. It's not in our nature. When Jesus told his followers - "I will make you fishers of men." He wasn't commanding them, he saw their potential and transformed them into powerful witnesses for God's kingdom. God has a better plan for your life too!

The book of Hebrews is like a warning flag that God is sending to us. Sometimes the warnings are loud and abrupt to get our attention so that we can prepare ourselves. It's time to examine where we are in our faith and listen to the warnings.

Pastor Joe uses the analogy of boats to describe our faith. Boats on the move are either driving or drifting with the currents. Are you passionate and driven in your faith or are you letting habits and pride drift you towards a shipwreck?

Pastor Joe Banks starts this new message series in Hebrews. The book of Hebrews is written to believers who have endured a pounding stormy season and did not fare well because their roots were shallow. How can we get grounded in our faith so that when a crisis hits we don't get knocked down?

What happens when we have the appearance of one thing but don't have the character to back it up? Jesus flipped the tables in the temple when people were being dishonest and greedy. 

Today we look inward and see if our Christianity is producing fruit or presenting false advertising without an actual relationship with Jesus.
