Connection Church - BEING the Church

Our messages are posted for a limited time for those wishing to track back and connect with challenges from God throughout previous weeks. As a way to honor Sabbath and remind ourselves that Connection Church doesn't run on human energy or charisma, each staff member and volunteer will serve for no more than 6 consecutive weeks in his/her area. This includes how we do our gatherings and teaching, creating space for a "seventh Sunday" where something alternative and fresh will occur within our church community. On these days audio may not be available.


Raising The Bar : It's easy to talk about changing your life, but what about actually following through on it? By raising the bar in six key areas you will experience growth in Christ that can spur you on toward the life you've always wanted.
	04.15.07 - Raising The Bar In Your Purpose (no audio - church movie day)
	04.22.07 - Raising THe Bar In Your Faith In what way do you expect God to reveal Himself in your life? What might it look like to raise the bar in your faith... in the middle of nowhere? (Tony Myles)
	04.29.07 - Raising The Bar In Your Workplace Whether you work in a cubicle or simply shop at the supermarket, we all interact with the workplace. If we raised the bar in how we did business, how might things be different? (Tony Myles)
	05.06.07 - Raising The Bar In Your Finances Did you know that God doesn't need your money and yet has an amazing plan for it? Imagine raising the bar in your finances by figuring this out. (Tony Myles)

	05.20.07 - Raising The Bar In Your Relationships What is the impact of two people coming back together after a hard tension with each other. By looking at God's example with us, we can raise the bar in our relationships with others. (Tony Myles & Clara Stacko)
	05.27.07 - Raising The Bar In Your Worship The direction of our future can be reshaped when we consider the memorials of our past. In doing so, our very lives can become worship. (Connection Church Praise Band & Tony Myles)


Heroes: The word "hero" so frequently gets limited to a comic book definition - one influenced by caped crusaders and action heroes. In realy life, though, a hero is far more diverse, complex, and unexpected. Ordinary people... extraordinary impact.
	04.08.07 - Heroes Pt.6: The Super Hero (Easter) There is something rather intriguing about Someone who is able to do things we can’t do in order to do all the things we want to do... and yet we still seem to struggle with our need for a Savior. Why? (Tony Myles)
	04.01.07 - Heroes Pt.5: The Unexpected Hero The world is bursting at the seams with those who have never had their chance to stand toe to toe with life and give it their best shot. On occasion, though, such an unexpected hero rises up. .(Tony Myles)
	03.25.07 - Heroes Pt.4: The Tragic Hero What is so fascinating about someone with a fatal flaw? Might that speak into our own shortcomings even as we attempt to work for the greater good?. (Tony Myles)
	03.18.07 - Heroes Pt.3: The Action Hero (no audio) Behind every heroic action there is a catalyst. In order to have purpose you have to have a healthy sense of discontentment, through which action is formed that leads to true contentment. .(Tony Myles)
	03.11.07 - Heroes Pt.2: The Starry-Eyed Hero What do you do in those moments when you have to make a huge life-changing choice and have no idea of how it will turn out? We have one life to live and can either play it safe or risk failure, get in the game, and make a difference. (Tony Myles)
	03.04.07 - Heroes Pt.1: The Righteous Hero There’s something about a person who decides that the flow of the world or a certain situation in it isn’t working… and then begins to journey against the tide to right the wrong and rescue those who have been affected by it.. (Tony Myles)

"Seventh Sunday"
	02.25.07 - All Worship Jam A sampling of our all worship jam, including three "My Stories" from Clint Auman, Dave Honaker, and Dawn Molner (Connection Church Praise Band)


Identity: What can you tell about the world just by looking at it? Are your perceptions of yourself and others correct or is there more going on in this moment and eternity than what we realize? Journey through the first impressions of Creation... perhaps rediscovering your Creator and who you really are.
	02.18.07 - Identity Pt.6 - Family Tree We're each handed down something from those before us - a family tree that predisposes us one way or another. Might there be an alternative, though? And might not the "tree" of Christ have something to say about that? (Tony Myles)
	02.11.07 - Identity Pt.5 - Fallout We all have broken cravings that can drive us in unhealthy ways... what do we gain in understanding them? Perhaps our true identity. (Tony Myles)
	02.04.07 - Identity Pt.4: Identity Theft What is one of the most scandalous chapters in the Bible - not to mention our lives? The answer may surprise you... as may God. (Tony Myles)
	01.28.07 - Identity Pt.3: Naked and Unashamed Imagine having the kind of authentic relationships where we can truly be who we really are. It is possible, and it all starts with a glimpse into life in the Garden of Eden. (Tony Myles)
	01.21.07 - Identity Pt.2: The Rhythm of Work and Restoration Buried deep within all of creation is a rhythm that unveils God's pattern for work and restoration. We are invited into the groove... one Sabbath at a time. (Tony Myles)
	01.14.07 - Identity Pt.1: The Creative Itch Why do we feel the need to create? Does it have anything to do with the original image we were made in of our Creator? Explore how the very beginning of human history is something still happening today. (Tony Myles)
