Main Idea: Family can mean a lot of different things to people depending on their upbringing and current circumstances. It can feel like a safe place to some and like a place to keep your guard up for others. For some people’s current place in life, it is because of the support of their family, but for others it’s possible despite their family. But…

*Apologies for the sound quality on this specific message. There were unexpected technical difficulties in the recording. Main Idea: The saying, “people do crazy things for love” proves true as romance shows itself to be one the most powerful forms of love. This type of love can easily become heaven or hell for people depending on the circumstances…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: Love can be incredibly simple in one instance and overly complex in the next. We are commanded by God’s Word to love others to the best of our ability, and passages like 1 Corinthians 13 tell us that love is the greatest thing that we can ever aspire to. Yet, we as Christians often want to move onto more intelligent or spiritual sounding…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: So much of modern Christianity has become about what God can do for the person instead of what the person can do for God. We have become ME-centric as we compartmentalize scriptures and sermons into the box of self. But the most powerful and consistent message of Jesus is actually about showing God to others rather than having to see Him…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: While holiness is more of a pursuit rather than an arrival, it is often neglected or belittled among Christians. It seems like a vague concept reserved just for priests and ministers with no use among ordinary believers. But this process of sanctification is a lot more tangible and useful than what people typically think. Today we are go…

The Speck In My Eye pt. 2: Repentance Main Idea: As simple as repentance should be, it can quickly be misconstrued into either a complicated series of never ending hoops to jump through or an allegorical idea that is never actually practiced. The essence of repentance is rooted in humility and self-reflection, and it is a necessary step in our fait…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: With each new year, people often consider things that they can change about their lives through resolutions in hopes to better themselves. It’s the one time of the year in which the majority of people are collectively opening their minds to a version of humility that recognizes unhealthy behaviors. Ironically, this mental processing that…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: So much of what we do in our world today is driven by our desire for more. It seems as though we never have enough as we continue to reach for the next level in our life. With that inner drive innate with so much of our humanity, many of us feel like we’re in a constant state of lack. Some more than others. While to lack often feels like…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: We live in such a busy type of society where we unknowingly rush through time even though time itself is the most valuable thing that we have in this world. Even in times like the holidays or special occasions, they seem to go by in the blink of an eye. Memories are one of the most precious things that we have yet in the moments that the…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: While we naturally would try to avoid any type of pain all together, it is one of the best teachers to humanity. It’s almost like God’s redemptive quality is intertwined within our DNA and consistently uses pain for growth, but at the same time, our brains are still hardwired to initially look at pain as bad. Today, we’re going to examin…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: While the word “sacrifice” is thrown around a lot among Christian culture, it’s often not applied in our lives as Christians. The most that we invoke sacrifice is in modular efforts of repentance, financial giving or becoming the best version of yourself. Isn’t Christianity more than this? The most spiritual form of personal sacrifice is…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: So many people spend their whole lives wondering what their purpose in life is and feel like they never found it. While we chase things like cultural superiority, mood therapies and money, we are still left feeling empty and unfulfilled. The closer we draw to the end of each year and eventually the end of our lives, we struggle with the …

Main Idea: One of the biggest controversies in regard to the Christian faith is the contents and validity of the Bible itself. The statement, “the Bible was just written by man” is a common attack on the sacred texts, and even many believers have felt confused about certain passages of scripture themselves. Today, we are going to cover a broad scop…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: Worship of God seems simple enough, yet many feel confused about what exactly worship is. Not only do most people not understand the practical aspects of worship and how to actually “worship” God beyond just singing a song, they also don’t really understand why we should worship in the first place. Today we’re going to unpack different w…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: The question of “how do you get to heaven” is one of the most meaningful questions a person can ponder on. With so many different ideas as to what the answer could be, Christianity propagates that the only way to heaven is through Jesus. But there are so many questions that are still attached with the simplicity of that kind of answer. T…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: One very necessary key element to our faith is the fact that we believe there to be a creator to our world, but at the same time that there is a sense of perfection to life being able to exist, it is also accompanied by so much pain and chaos. Some of our biggest doubts and hesitations in our faith come down to the moments in which terri…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: There are so many things that seem black and white in the Bible, yet there are so many other things and situations that seem like gray areas in our culture and lifestyle. Lucky for us, while the Bible doesn’t give an answer for every unique and specific circumstance, it does give enough applicable principles and examples that we can use …

Main Idea: While it’s hard enough to find the bravery and courage within your faith to get into the fight of spiritual warfare, it can be even harder to get back up after feeling knocked down. Whether it’s from being exasperated from an ongoing battle, being discouraged after not seeing the victory you were necessarily praying for, or feeling impot…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: Part of a Christian’s duty is to cast out devils. Plain and simple. But many believers shy away from the idea of them being able to do something so seemingly supernatural, and some people simply ignore the possibility of there needing to be any formal spiritual deliverance. But the truth is that there is a real spiritual world that we’re…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: A lot of people disqualify themselves from having their part in spiritual warfare because they think that they are not ready for that kind of battle. They feel ill-equipped and simply unprepared. But the truth is that preparing oneself is a lot simpler than most people imagine. You don’t have to be “special” in order to take hold of the …
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: The minute that you become a believer, you’re called to become a dragon slayer. In your confession of faith, you simultaneously join the army of God and enter into the spiritual fight against the devil and his demons. We live in a world that operates in both the physical and spiritual, and because the devil is always working to kill, ste…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: In the moments that we realize the dreams inside of our hearts, we often follow it with our idea of what the story of fulfilling those dreams will look like. While our idea of the story seems the best way for our dreams to come true, it rarely ever happens like that. Instead, we typically go through extreme testings and trials while on t…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: It is already hard enough to step into your calling but even harder when you consider all of the history of your mistakes and regrets. In fact, those mistakes can often stop you from moving forward because you almost feel like you don’t deserve to be able to move on. Many people over-exasperate themselves in trying to make the wrong thin…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: So many people try to do good believing that good will come back to them, but they get extremely discouraged and confused when it seems like only bad comes after.

  continue reading
 
Main Idea: There are many times when people finally take the courageous plunge to step into their calling only to have it go terribly wrong, but sometimes great callings are only fulfilled through relentless tenacity. Today we’re going to look at the life of Moses and how he made the courageous decision to step out in efforts to make a difference o…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: Even though everything is always changing, history is also repeating itself. Nothing is actually new, but rather goes through its cycles of generational behaviors. This world is truly temporal and insatiable. Our cravings are never able to be satisfied by this world because it does not have the capacity or ability to satisfy or create an…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: Relationships change over time because people change over time, and it’s important to learn how to discern the moments in which you need to hold on to them or let go. Everybody goes through different things in life that change how they see themselves and the world around them. These life changes affect nearly all of our relationships, es…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: Having self-reflection to understand the things that have shaped our worldview and learning how to determine our future self. When we are young, we imagine that we will never change. In our naivety, we think that we already know all that we need to know, and we think that we will be the same kind of person forever. Then one day, we look …
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: Learning how to reflect on major life changes with an optimistic and realistic perspective for the past and future. Changes are inevitable, yet they always take us by surprise. We imagine that we’d simply know what to do when the time comes, and then when the life altering change happens, we’re left with the question, “what do I do now?”…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: Learning how to specifically lead someone to Christ along with guiding them in their next steps. The Great Commission, Matthew 28:18-20. Two of the best experiences to have as a Christian is leading an individual to know Christ themselves and helping to lead someone along in their faith journey through discipleship. Sadly, many Christian…

Main Idea: Learning how to endure and stay focused on your calling by having a grasp on your emotions and trusting God with the outcomes. Paul. (Acts 14:8-20) When you allow yourself to become activated in your faith through servanthood, you will begin the journey of ministry. That journey is a roller coaster of ups and downs, wins and losses, prai…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: When you give God your availability, He gives you the ability. Isaiah 6:1-10 Each of us are called to serve the Kingdom of God by ministering to people in some way, yet we typically hesitate to fulfill that calling because we feel like we are either not ready or qualified to do what God has called us to do. We feel inadequate and unworth…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: Realizing how fulfilling your life can be when it is no longer just about you. One of the biggest questions we have as Christians is “what’s my purpose in life?” And so often we try to find fulfillment to that question by filling its void with selfish ideas and desires. We perceive that we are supposed to be “blessed” or made prominent a…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: Potential Found In Pain. Demon Possessed Man. Trauma can easily make a person feel lost in the world. It’s easy to start pushing away everyone around you as you try to push down the hurtful experience. The more and more we try to avoid it, the more and more our lives reflect that something is wrong. In today’s message, we’re going to loo…
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: The Needed Love of Fathers. Fathers are foundational pieces to every person’s life. Even for those who have never met their father, that role still shapes the very core of their identity and becomes a major motivator for the decisions that they make in life. Inwardly, most men feel deep within their gut the weight of responsibility they …
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: Letting go of the pain. Esau. One of the most difficult yet necessary steps in order to heal from trauma is forgiveness. It is so hard because it feels like you won’t ever be justified if you simply let it go. But holding onto bitterness is like drinking poison while expecting the other person to be hurt by it. In today’s message we are …
  continue reading
 
Main Idea: Processing your pain. David. 'He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds. ' -Psalms 147:3 One of the most powerful aspects about bringing God into your life is the process of Him healing your heart.
