Some of us have dreams, some have goals, and some don't have either. In this message, Pastor Jim answers the question why and reveals that a God-inspired dream in the hands of a believer foolish enough to believe it is a powerful thing! Sun, 24 Jan 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/02-07-10.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/02-07-10.mp3 Do you have any obstacles in your life? In this teaching Pastor Jim shows us that obstacles are necessary in order for Breakthrough to occur. What else? Listen and find out! Sun, 07 Feb 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/02-14-10.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/02-14-10.mp3 The Psalms are full of heartfelt emotion being expressed to God, but what is it God most wants from us? Mike Rice, one of Real World's leaders in worship tells us that God just wants to be radically intimate with us. Sun, 14 Feb 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/02-21-10.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/02-21-10.mp3 Psalm 23 is probably one of the most well known of the Psalms and when you really break it down, you find out why. Laurie does just that in this insighful look into this beloved passage. Sun, 21 Feb 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/02-28-10.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/02-28-10.mp3 Everyone is called to praise! That is the primary message of Psalm 150. Whether you are a quiet and shy person or a loud and obnoxious one (OK, not everyone that is loud is obnoxious!) you're still called to give God the praise He so richly deserves. Listen while Pastor Jim takes us through it. Sun, 28 Feb 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/03-07-10.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/03-07-10.mp3 Does God really know everything about us? As we close out this series, our very own Chris Scott shares her favorite psalm and about just how incredibly all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-encompassing God really is! Sun, 07 Mar 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/03-21-10.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/03-21-10.mp3 Have you ever used the phrase "I give up?" Perhaps when you've come to the end of your rope, or you've run out of options or maybe you've just been caught in the act? Surrender is not something we normally think of as sweet, but as we look at what the bible has to say about it and what God brings to the table when we do it, it's all that and more! Pastor Jim starts us off in this 3-part series about biblical surrender. Sun, 21 Mar 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/03-28-10.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/03-28-10.mp3 As we continue to talk about the sweetness of surrender, Pastor Laurie moves us into an area where we are most uncomfortable...

This has come to be known as a sin tax. Did you know that your sin has a "tax?" The bible states that the price for sin is death. In this series we'll examine where sin came from, what it costs us, and what it cost God to get rid of. Sun, 11 Apr 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/04-18-10.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/04-18-10.mp3 I just couldn't help myself ... the devil made me do it ... I HAD to because it was the only way out. We've all faced temptation, but so did Jesus. Did you know that His overcoming temptation was for your benefit? Listen as Jim talks about the temptation of Jesus and how it affected us all. Sun, 18 Apr 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/05-02-10.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/05-02-10.mp3 One of the most overlooked subjects about sin is that it still brings with it consequences, sometimes even to those around us. Jim finishes this series on the cost of sin by looking at how sin affects each of us and those around us. Sun, 02 May 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/05-09-10.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/05-09-10.mp3 We all have had lousy things happen to us.

Perhaps someone you love or respect has said some things about you that have caused you to second guess your qulifications for service. Jim begins this new series by taking a look at someone in the bible just like you. Peter. He was unqualified. Sun, 06 Jun 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/06-13-10.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/06-13-10.mp3 Rebellious? Stubborn? Judgemental? If you identify with any of these characteristics, you might be the man or woman that God is looking for! Jonah was! Sun, 13 Jun 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/06-27-10.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/06-27-10.mp3 Jacob was one of the patriarchs of the Christian faith. Is it so hard to believe that he swindled and cheated his very own flesh and blood out of millions? It shouldn't be. God qualifies the called, not the other way around! Sun, 27 Jun 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/07-04-10.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/07-04-10.mp3 Pastor Laurie Williams Sun, 04 Jul 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/07-11-10.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/07-11-10.mp3 Ever hear someone talk about hearing God say something? Perhaps your reaction to that is the same as most folks. Wondering if that person's elevator goes all the way to the top floor? In the first part of this 2-part series, Jim explores the fact that a personal relationship with Jesus by definition includes 2-way communication. It is your privilege as a believer to "hear" God's voice when He speaks. So what's keeping you from it? Sun, 11 Jul 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/07-25-10 - Is That You God Part 2.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/07-25-10 - Is That You God Part 2.mp3 God speaks to His people. It's a simple truth that is lost on many in the church today. In this second part of our series on hearing God's voice, Jim addresses the question of HOW God still speaks to those that love Him. He's talking ... Are you listening? Sun, 25 Jul 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/08-01-10 - After Shock.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/08-01-10 - After Shock.mp3 No matter where you are in life, crisis comes. Weather it's a natural disaster like an earthquake or the more personal tragedies like suddenly loosing a loved one, the shocks of life will come. The question Laurie addresses is are you ready for it? Well, the bible has a lot to say about how we can respond to the unexpected turns of life. Sun, 01 Aug 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/08-08-10 - Under Construction.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/08-08-10 - Under Construction.mp3 God isn't interested in making you the best "you" you can be. God is interested in making you like Him. The great thing about all this is that HE does the work and we just hang out with Him!

Sun, 05 Sep 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/09-12-10 - Treasure Hunters - Finders Keepers.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/09-12-10 - Treasure Hunters - Finders Keepers.mp3 Most of the time, mining for treasure requires great effort and sacrifice.

Sun, 12 Sep 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/10-17-10 - Overflow - Worry Is A Waste.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/10-17-10 - Overflow - Worry Is A Waste.mp3 There's a life that God wants for each of us. A life that spills over onto those around us. Jim begins this new series on this life of abundance by looking at a major road block. Worry. It's such a waste.

Jim looks at what the bible says about true change and how that can take place in all of us, if we'll be willing to do the work. Sun, 24 Oct 2010 14:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/10-31-10 - Overflow - The Truth Will Set You Free.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/10-31-10 - Overflow - The Truth Will Set You Free.mp3 According to the bible, there is only one sure-fire way to bring the kind of change we need to live the abundant life.

How we do that says a lot about us. In this series we will talk about the names that were given to Jesus by the prophet Isaiah long before he was born. Laurie starts us off by looking at what it means to honor the 3rd commandment. Sun, 05 Dec 2010 15:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/12-12-10 - Hallowed Be Your Name Part 2.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/12-12-10 - Hallowed Be Your Name Part 2.mp3 When Joseph heard that his fiance' was pregnant, he began to make plans to help her out of the engagement.

What would it look like if we went "all in" with God? Jim takes a look at loving God with everything we have in the year 2011. Are you All In? Sun, 09 Jan 2011 15:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/01-16-11 - Plugged In To Faith.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/01-16-11 - Plugged In To Faith.mp3 The first time I was called to fix a computer back in my old life, before pastor-ing, I walked in thinking of all the things I had learned in trouble-shooting school. After 30 minutes of applying my vast skill in troubleshooting, one of the older guys that worked with me walked by, paused for a moment watching me work feverishly, and then stepped over pointed to the power cord of the PC I was working on. It turned out that the problem was that it wasn't plugged in. And it didn't matter how much I worked on that PC, without power it wasn't going anywhere. This got me thinking about my walk with God. Without His power, I'm not going anywhere. Sun, 16 Jan 2011 15:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/01-23-11 - Plugged In - Family.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/01-23-11 - Plugged In - Family.mp3 Being plugged in to God affects more than just our faith!

Sun, 23 Jan 2011 15:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/01-30-11 - Plugged In - Finances.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/01-30-11 - Plugged In - Finances.mp3 This week we take a look at what it looks like to be plugged in financially.

They make resolutions, decisions, and promises. Beginning well is good, but finishing well is the goal. Unfortunately, there's a lack of that around. Why, you ask? Laurie helps answer that in the final part of our Plugged In series. Sun, 06 Feb 2011 15:30:00 +0000 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/02-13-11 A Coca-Cola Kind of Love 1.mp3 http://www.rwworship.org/sermons/02-13-11 A Coca-Cola Kind of Love 1.mp3 Jim uses his favorite soft drink to talk about "The Real Thing" when it comes to love. With all the focus from our culture on physical attraction, you would think that in order to make a relationship last it's all about maintaining that feeling. Keep that feeling around and the relationship will last, right? Well, no. Statistics don't lie and they are screaming at us about a problem we have in society and even in the church. Let's look at what God's love is like and compare it to what we see all around us. You might be surprised!
