FEARLESS

Most people have at one point or another created a timeline for their lives. When you were younger you probably thought, "I'll be married in my early 20's, already have my career established, start having children, retire early, and live happily ever after." Maybe your timeline looked a little different, but at some point in your life you've probably had certain expectations for your future. It's...

 We know those people who are referred to as "pessimists"; the ones who always see things in a negative light, and the one bad thing outweighs the good for them. You probably know a lot of people like that, and maybe you are even like that yourself. Don't be ashamed, because you're not alone. Some people are hardwired as negative, BUT that's where you have to make the choice to be POSITIVE! In thi...

We've probably all heard the verse Proverbs 4:23 so many times: "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life." It is so widely known, but it is also so valuable, and many times, it is a difficult thing to do. You must also guard your marriage, your family, your finances, your health, but above all, you need to guard your heart. Your heart determines where you go in l...

This world is filled with people who have a desire for more. What you have never seems to be enough. You will probably even find that many children have this desire, too. You give them a piece of candy or a toy, and they instantly want another one. The reason being what it says in Ephesians 4:19: "Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every...

Super bowl Sunday, a day many people look forward to every year. It comes only once a year, but the preparation and time put into it takes the entire year for the players. Even the players who probably won't step foot onto the field still practice and train just as hard, so that on the off chance someone gets hurt, they are fully ready to step in. That is how we should be in our lives, preparing a...

As a church, this year we are shifting to another level, and maturing in Christ. As you mature and grow, you have to allow God to come into your heart and heal the things that you've held onto for so long. It is not going to be easy, and it's going to be painful as the words and wounds are being ripped away to make way for healing. Make time to sit with the Lord. Make time to eat with the Lord. He...

All too often we find ourselves asking God for more. Whether it's money, time, friendships, or material things, our flesh needs more! What if God is just waiting for us to look at what we already have, and ask Him what He wants us to do with it. Those who are faithful with little will be faithful with a lot, that rule applies to everything in our lives! In this message Pastor Jeremy Johnson gives...

What better way to kick of the new year with cleansing not only our bodies but our spirits through fasting! In the Bible, we can see that men and women of God fasted to spend time seeking God. Life gets busy and our hearts can get cluttered, so fasting is a time to clean out our spirits and helps us refocus on God. Even Jesus took time to get away with God and fast. Why shouldn't we? In this messa...

Christmas time is here, everyone's favorite holiday filled with food, family, and presents under that beautifully twinkling tree. But do we really know what the first Christmas was about? The first Christmas was about the presence of God. Not presents, but presence. It is an invitation for us to become His children if we will simply believe. In this timely message, Pastor Jeremy dives into the rea...

It is clear that being a believer in Jesus has nothing to do with being religious, but everything to do with love and action. It starts with loving God, loving yourself, and then loving others as you love yourself. You cannot love others well until you learn to love yourself well, which comes after you come to know the love of God. Our love for others will be polluted if we do not love ourselves f...

Believe it or not, you can be a believer even in crisis. Unbelief is combated through faith, and faith is action, plus belief, plus confidence. If you give God your trust, He can handle any situation better than you can.

One voice we will probably hear the loudest is the voice of the enemy, and we need to remember that it is also the weakest. Some of the markers that will help you identify the enemy's voice will be if the words cause oppression, confusion, discouragement, or rage. The enemy will tend to attack when we are tired because his main goal is to bring us down to his level to entangle us in the things tha...

When Jesus came back to the disciples, He did not show wounds;He showed scars! It showed that He overcame death, hell and the grave. How much greater of an overcomer can there be? God wants to use you to speak to the nations, to prophesy to the hurting, and to build the house. But you have to allow Him to do some work in your life. Allow Him to tear some walls down, be your advocate, and rub in th...

The Lord wants to spend time with us daily to strengthen us, mature us, and reveal Himself to us. As we grow in our relationship with Him, we will begin to discern His voice in our lives, but He isn't the only one that speaks. The Bible teaches us to test every spirit that speaks into our lives, so that we may walk in truth and not be deceived. In this message, Pastor Jeremy Johnson teaches us abo...

Have you ever found yourself feeling like you are hitting a ceiling? Like as if what you have been praying for has fallen on deaf ears? Delay to us can seem like God has stopped working in our favor, but He has never stopped. God wants you to know that He heard you the first time and He will not leave you hanging. In this message, Pastor Jeremy Johnson speaks on the spirit of delay and what it mea...

Where we see dry bones, the Lord sees an army. In the story of Ezekiel and the valley of dry bones, God paints a picture of what the enemy tries to do with the Body of Christ. The enemy will cause disunity amongst our bothers and sisters in order to affect our relationship with God. We are encouraged to prophesy over ourselves and into each other's lives, but we must be mindful of our character. I...

The gift of prophecy is one of depth and can often show evidence of itself in encouragement. Being able to speak life into one another, not only tears down lies, but can rejuvenate our spirits. The Word of God reminds us that the power of life and death are in the tongue and that these words last lifetimes, not just moments. In this message, Pastor Jeremy Johnson speaks on the gift of prophecy and...

Just as pain is to the body, so is your conscience to your spirit. Your conscience was given to you by God to help discern and receive His voice. When you first began your walk with the Lord, your conscience was renewed, and as you spend time with the Lord, the Word of God becomes etched into your heart. The enemy will always try to muffle the voice of God in your life, and he attacks your conscie...

Have you ever seen a butterfly and thought to yourself, "Wow that's a beautiful caterpillar with wings!" Probably not. When a caterpillar goes through the transformation of becoming a butterfly, it sheds off the old and becomes new. It is no longer a caterpillar, but a brand new creation. Likewise with you; when you transform and become a new creation in Christ, you shed off the old. You are no lo...

You've all heard about those "burning bush" moments, where God speaks in a big way, and it's undeniable that it's His voice. It happened in the Bible to Moses and Paul, and it happens to people today, but that's not the only way God speaks. He speaks in the quiet whisper like He did with Samuel and Elijah, and it's just as powerful as those big encounters. The only way you can hear it, though, is...

God is passionate about having a relationship and speaking with us face to face. As believers, we are called to sit and spend time with our Creator in order to know His voice as He guides us daily. However, learning how to discern the voice of God in our lives can prove to be challenging when there is so much static around us. We learn in this message that there are five voices fighting for our at...
