Salem Fields Weekly Audio Message

In life we are faced with some tough questions that are not easy to answer. Like why do we say my alarm clock went off, when it really came on? Or why do I drive on a parkway, but I park on a driveway? And then you have the more serious questions in life that are hard to answer as well. In this message, we continue our series "The People's Choice" as we attempt to answer the question that we all face from time to time, "Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?"

We are starting a new series this weekend called The People’s Choice. Over the next five weeks we will look at some of the topics that you have chosen. In this message, we will look at the Holy Spirit, which is probably the most misunderstood part of the Trinity. You may wonder, is it karma? Is it my conscience? Is it those goose bumps I get during a powerful worship song? Or is it something much more?

"To dwell above with those you love, that will be glory. But to dwell below, with those we know, that's another story." Today it seems everyone is looking for a place to be loved. In this message, we discover the ingredients of a loving church.

We have all experienced points in our life where we've been lost in the wilderness looking for a way out. Times when we've felt like wanderers in search of direction. In this message, we wrap up our series #Jesus by discovering that Jesus is the love that has made a way and the voice that is leading the way. Our guide in every facet of life - Jesus is our #GoodShepherd.

What did Jesus mean when He said, “I Am the TRUE Vine....Abide in Me and I will abide in you”? In this message, as we continue our series, #Jesus, we’ll discover the beauty of His simplicity and taste the fruit of His words.

The world we live in tries hard to explain the way we are to live our lives, and breathes into us false truths about ourselves that can suck the life right out of us. Jesus came to this earth to explain to us that we are not as the world says, but as our Father in heaven says. Jesus said, "I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life..." (John 14:6 NIV) Rediscover the way, the truth, and the life this weekend as we continue the journey in seeing who Jesus says He is. #Jesus #TheWayTheTruthTheLife.

In this message, week as we continue our series #Jesus, we will discover who Jesus described Himself to be to the woman caught in adultery and what that means for us.

Celebrate Easter this weekend as we begin a new series, #Jesus. Everyone seems to have an opinion about Jesus. Just this week, two magazines have Him on its cover. But in this series, we'll hear from Jesus Himself, and who He says He is. In this message, He says, "I AM the Resurrection and the Life." Join SFCC for a grand Easter Celebration.

There are short people who live tall and there are tall people who live short. Confused? Join us this weekend as we look at the story of the wee little man Zaccheus to help allay our confusion.

In the past four message we have rediscovered the forgotten stories of Daniel and the Lion’s Den, Noah’s Ark, Esther, and David vs. Goliath. These were great people that lived for God and seemed to obey God without hesitation when called into action. While many of us desire to be like these faithful people, many times we end up more like Jonah. Even though he was a man that served God, he found himself in quite the situation after disobeying God.

In this message, we will continue our series, "Lost Art". David was a man after God's own heart and his story has many parts. We will discuss how God took one small boy and used him to defeat Goliath and how this story has changed lives.

Who needs whom? The story of Esther teaches us that God is always at work to ensure His good and perfect plan remains good and perfect. Incredibly and graciously He invites us to participate with Him.

The story of Noah is one of the most popular of all the Children’s Bible stories. Even people who don’t know the Bible and never come to church know about Noah, his big boat, all those animals coming in two by two, and the flood. But there is so much more to the story and in this message we are going to look at the implications of this story for our lives today.

In this message, we kick off our exciting series, "LOST ART: Rediscovering The Forgotten Stories." Daniel lived his life with unwavering faith in God in the midst of a hostile culture and through his greatest test. See how Daniel's story, written around 535 B.C., is still relevant to us today.

In this message we conclude our relationship series, "IT'S COMPLICATED", by looking at the purpose of conflict. It can easily destroy, yet conflict can also be used to build stronger, more fulfilling relationships - it all depends on our attitude and focus. We conclude with,"CONFLICT - The Prickly Quills That Lead to Winning Relationships."

In this message, we continue "It's Complicated", a series about relationships. Within the covenant of marriage, sex can be one of the greatest blessings or a huge point of tension. Great relationships take work and great sex in marriage is the same. Both husband and wife have a role in creating the kind of connection God designed.

The most important part of the wedding ceremony are the vows that we make to our spouse and to God, but how many of us uphold them on a daily basis? How many of us are making promises here and there within our marriages, relationships and other areas of our life, yet are failing to keep them? As we continue our series, "It's Complicated", we are going to take a Biblical look at what vows really are, the weight that they carry, and the importance of keeping our word to God, our spouses, and the people around us.

Fighting, attraction, bad judgment and reconciliation are only a few challenges that make the marriage relationship the most complicated of all relationships. In this message, we kick off a new series, "IT'S COMPLICATED", all about relationships! If we want a positive, healthy outcome in marriage, we have to do it differently than what we're seeing in our world today. It begins with dating and knowing how to choose the right person.

This is the final message in our series “I Was Broke. Now I’m Not.” These days it seems like money slips through our fingers like sand and before we know it we have a financial mess on our hands and we say, “It will take a miracle for us to get out of this mess!” In fact, even though we are in a financial series, this message applies to any situation you are facing where you are desperate for God to show up and perform a miracle. In this message, we will look at a true story of a financial miracle that we can all learn from.

In this message we are excited to have with us Joseph Sangl – Founder, I Was Broke. Now I’m Not. and President & CEO, INJOY Stewardship Solutions as he shares with us practical Biblical steps on How To Have The Best Financial Year of Your Life in 2014.
