Message: The Heart of the Matter
We see this pattern play out time in time again through the story of Israel, Disobedience, Disaster, Deliverance. It is fascinating how often we encounter the same pattern in our life. It is the same pattern that leads Israel to a King and the pattern that leads the first king to fail.

Message: Sacrifice
One of the most pressing and prevalent questions of our day is one of the same questions people struggled to answer during Jesus day. It is a question you must answer for yourself. Is Jesus who He claims to be. There are many that promise life, many who promise salvation yet Jesus claims that life and salvation are in Him alone.

Message: Identity Amnesia
One of the first encounters we have with Jacob in scripture he is pretending to be someone he is not. He buys into the lie and tries to live up to others expectations of him. It is a trap so easy to fall into. In fact, so easy that we seem to continually do it ourselves. Maybe it is in Jacob I see me.

Message: Undeniable Love
Maybe one of the most powerful pictures we have in our society of love is that of a mother’s love for their children. We see it in the constant selfless and sacrificial life they live. In fact it could be one of the closest pictures of Christ love for us. Ultimately, love says YOU not Me.

Message: Practice Resurrection
The call of Discipleship has little to do with a Sunday meeting but a life of devising was that those who are not with God can become his friends.

Message: Forgiveness Unleashed
One of the most difficult things we must learn to do as followers of Jesus is to forgive others. But it is a choice, it is a decision, it is a door. It doesn’t come easy, it is hard, especially when we feel like someone owes us something. Failure to forgive is us disobeying God. When we don’t forgive we hold on to that anger and won’t let it go and we become ugly inside. And over time that disease spreads to our hearts. So forgiveness in the end is all about setting the captive free. However, what you will find is the captive you have set free is you.

Message: Hope is Rising
Choices, we face them everyday. Wear the blue shirt or the green shirt? Of course some of them are a little bigger. Eat junk food or go with the salad. And then some alter our life for ever. Do I say, “I do?” And over time the choices continue to build up, but so do the consequences and rewards of those choices. So what do you do with the wrong choices?

Message: Partnership
As a follower of Jesus we have a new identity, an identity in Christ. As partners with Shiloh Road, we are asking you to join with us, to partner with Shiloh Road. These commitments as a worshiper, family, learner and missionary are essential for the life and vitality of Shiloh for each individual, as well as Shiloh as a family. Partnering with Shiloh does not mean you have gotten all these down perfectly, but rather that you are growing as you navigate this journey of faith.

As a follower of Jesus we have a new identity, an identity in Christ. As partners with Shiloh Road, we are asking you to join with us, to partner with us on the journey to make Jesus KNOWN. To partner means to embrace the values of Shiloh Road. To worship Christ, live in community, get trained for ministry, and make disciples. To do this we have identified several markers for all of us on the journey. The markers can help us on an individual level and corporate level to gauge the pulse of our relationship with Christ. We want to live life on purpose.

Message: Remember
Deuteronomy 8
As we move forward it is so important that we begin by looking back. Throughout the years God has been so faithful to Shiloh Road and if we are not careful, it is easy to forget. It is easy to point to all “we” have done right, rather than point to God who has sustained us through good times and bad. Shiloh Road has a rich history that began with the faith and courage of several leaders. The impact of their decision is still felt today. We celebrate what God has done for this church and through this church, as we look into the future trusting that God will continue in His faithfulness.
