The "greatest in the kingdom" or the "least in the kingdom" -- which of these are we supposed to want to be? Pastor Scott does a great job in explaining a couple of tough biblical concepts in this sermon.

Who is Jesus Part One
We can learn so much by watching Jesus in his dealings with people. The centurion had some good qualities that Pastor Scott brings out in today's sermon.
Influence
If our church has authentic worship, stellar learning opportunities, and vibrant community....but we have no passion for influence - our ministry will be pretty flat. Pastor Scott helps us see the importance of influence, and how we can take steps toward having greater influence.
Community
Humans are made to be interdependent. If you don't have anyone who you are pouring into, in this life, you maybe lonely! Pastor Scott laid out from the Word, "Community" as the next essential of a healthy church.
Worship
Pastor Scott brought us the first Essential of a Healthy Church. Worship. That's what we do each week at 10:30 AM, correct? Well, no, not exactly. Singing praises to God is a very small part of our worship to God. Pastor Scott explains more about that, in this message.
It’s All About the Gospel
Pastor Shane, from Montrose Baptist Church, came and preached a message all about the gospel. It's a message that we all need, whether we think we do, or not.
Mother’s Day/Our Mission
The mission of the church, according to Matthew 28:16-20, is to make disciples. Our church says it this way "Make disciples by reaching those who are far from God, while bringing up those who are in Christ." Pastor Scott shares why this command is an Essential of a Healthy Church.
Celebration Sunday
God is continuing to add people to His church! Pastor Scott baptized two kids who have been saved recently, and wanted to share that with their friends and family. And then we heard the testimonies of five adults who are saved, and wanted to be added to the membership of South. You will be encouraged as you hear what God is doing in their lives.
The Rock of the Church
Jesus said to Peter, "...on this rock I will build my church." What did Jesus mean by this? Is the church build on Peter? A human? Pastor Scott explains what is happening in this passage, as he starts our new series entitled, "Essentials of a Healthy Church".
Easter Sunday
Christ is risen as He said! Who got to see the risen Christ, first? It wasn't one of the disciples, it wasn't Jesus' earthly mother. It was Mary Magdalene. Pastor Scott shares with us why this was unexpected, but incredibly exciting.
