Guest Teacher:  Andy Stanley  (Video format)
 
As Willowbrook meets off-site for the next two weeks, we are privileged to be able to watch one of America's top Christian communicators, Andy Stanley (Pastor of North Point Church GA.).  In this message, Andy talks about the importance of doing community together through the local church by loving others as Christ has loved us.  Due to the nature of this video, Willowbrook is not allowed to play this video on our site for copyright reasons.  Join us next Sunday for Andy's second message in this series.  (Willowbrook meets off-site at the Forest Lake American Legion - August 9th).  Everyone is welcomed!

Teaching Pastor:  Brad Reis

Pontius Pilate stood before Jesus and he asked him an epic question, “What is truth?”  How would you answer that question?  How would you define truth from deception?  What if you were to learn that for much of your life, you had been deceived?  What you thought or perceived to be truth, you soon confirmed to be a grand illusion?  The Bible has a lot to share with us about deception and how easily the human heart can be tricked to believe what is false.  Our series, Illusion, has been designed to expose some of the greatest tricks offered to our world, while bringing clarity to Biblical truths.  (Text: Mark 4)

Teaching Pastor: Brad Reis

In our fourth message of our five part series, Pastor Brad dives into one of the most difficult paralysis known to the human soul - "unforgiveness."  When we harbor anger and resentment toward anyone, it has a way of hardening our heart.  Jesus and Peter have the exact same conversation about this ugly paralysis in Matthew 18:21-35.  We can also learn from their discussion in today's world as well.  Enjoy.

In this, the third message of our five part series, Pastor Brad shares three principles that we can learn from the gospel of Mark (2:1-5) on how to handle life when Plan "A" fails.  Many people can become paralyzed when their dreams are shattered.  But God has an antidote to those of us who are experiencing a deep sense of disappointment or frustration when our plans come to an abrupt ending.
