Altars are places of consecration where we bring a sacrifice that makes a declaration about what we believe. Consecration is the foundation of declaration. Consecration is partnership. Without consecration, we approach God as if He performs for us. With consecration, our declarations come from relationship. His strength is our strength. His help is ever-present working for us to turn every defeat...

Our prayer life is the walking out of our relationship with God. We must prioritize communion and fellowship with God through prayer in an ever-continual fellowship that cultivates the presence of God in our lives every moment of every day.

Altars are consecrated places where we bring a sacrifice that makes a declaration about what we believe.

There's a new realm of God's glory to be touched for those who are willing to be undignified before Him. There's a new work to be done and mandate of fire to come alive in for those who are ready to be who you are called to be. Start acting like you've been raised from the dead with Christ. Open your Bibles and burn with passion and truth. Open the altars and pour out your fragrance of praise upon...

A testimony of God's faithfulness and His pursuit of us.

Living from a place of hope in the Lord will change your life! There is immorality in the world. There are problems, issues, and many things taking place that don't line up with God's Word. It's important to remember we were born for such a time as this. Hope is the belief that our future is going to be greater than our present because God is so good. Hope is the expectation of great, mighty, powe...

Practicing Gratitude leads to a more healthy environment--physically, emotionally, mentality, and spiritually. Biblical gratitude involves three elements: 1) Humility - casting our successes before Him acknowledging everything we have and everything we've done comes from God. 2) Confession - laying our failures before God acknowledging His great love and forgiveness. 3) Expectation - bringing our...

Evangelism and sharing Jesus should not be an event or something we do from time to time. It's a lifestyle of who we are all the time. Sharing Jesus should not be technical. It's personal. We get to simply testify about who He is and what He's done in our life everywhere we go with everyone we are around. The world is longing for something authentic and powerful, the testimony of Jesus! If you hav...

As sons and daughters of God we have the privilege to build an eternal legacy for His Kingdom that will impact generations to come. Building legacy requires posturing our hearts in humility, living with bold faith, and working and resting within the boundaries God has given us through Sabbath to keep us whole and for a legacy that will be sustained..

We have to know the difference between the wilderness experiences we are led into by the Holy Spirit and those that we choose on our own. One is for us and one is not. Our wilderness experiences where we are led by the Holy Spirit are not places of lack. They are always meant to become a place of abundance—a place that provides for us, prepares us, and promotes us.

The book of Proverbs is not meant to simply be read, but to be lived in a living relationship with Jesus Christ, who is wisdom. In this message we look at the Scriptures to see the contrast between a foolish person and a wise person so that we can ask the question, "What is God saying to me about growing into a wise and prudent person?" At the close of this message we partake in communion together...

The Holy Spirit is the key to an effective, powerful Christian life! He changed everything for us as believers on that day of Pentecost. We have the power of Holy Spirit to change the world! The Revival Fire that came was never intended to be contained to a space or place. God intended for it to spread through us everywhere we go. What the church needs more than anything is the Fire of Holy Spirit...

God is a Provider. He is not a withholder. The story of Abraham and Isaac was not about God requiring the sacrifice of Isaac and withholding from Abraham if He didn't get it. It was about God providing the sacrifice in place of Isaac. It wasn't about requiring Abraham's only son. I was about providing His own in our place. If we see Him as a God who withholds, then we will withhold from Him. If we...

Special guest speaker, Caroline Thomas, teaches on the importance of ministering to the Lord. All of our ministry for the Lord begins with our ministry to the Lord.

While man most often makes decisions based on the outward, the Lord looks for hearts of faithfulness when choosing true leaders. In this message we look at the choosing of Mathias as an apostle and the power of a witness for Jesus Christ who is faithful. Put your hand to the plow, celebrate the expansion even in the stretching, and declare "I will not stop reaping the harvest." The Lord will not o...

Our sins of the past get to be completely forgiven by the blood of Jesus. Not only are they forgiven, but they are forgotten, just as if it never happened! No matter what you've done it will never compare to what Jesus did! The blood of Jesus is enough! We are all on a journey with Jesus and if we make a mistake, the same grace that saved us is available to forgive us! Jesus died on the cross so t...

Being perfected in the perfect love is a process of maturing in His love, letting it drive out fear until we become perfect love.

Testimonies and updates on the process of building and stewarding heaven's inheritance.

It is a joyful day of celebration because Jesus is alive! We are not a dead, powerless church. We are the Church of the Living God--unstoppable; full of joy, freedom, and life; declaring that Jesus is Lord. In this brief Resurrection Sunday message, we look at the death, burial, and victorious resurrection of Christ and celebrate the One who is worthy of all praise. Weeping may endure for a night...

Special Guest Speaker, Michael French, shares insight and revelation about the simplicity and the accessibility of hearing from God.

We get to partner with God to impact the world with the love and power of Jesus everywhere we go. These testimonies are shared by people that simply made themselves available to be used by God. Let your faith be stirred up and reminded of who God is and the fact that He has called us to GO! As we go He goes, working, moving, healing, and changing lives through us! What a joy to be a part of buildi...

God has invited us as His children into a life of miracles, the supernatural, and His Kingdom manifesting in us and through us every day! For God, these things are normal. It's who He is! He's invited us into this normal life of the miraculous; but it requires a life of faith. Faith believes that He is who He says He is. Faith partners with Him to step out. God plays a part but we also have a part...

The gift of tongues is a powerful key for the new covenant believer to unlock the supernatural, new revelation, and greater intimacy that leads to the manifestation of the kingdom of heaven. So why has praying in tongues caused such controversy in the body of Christ? In this teaching on tongues, we look at the Holy Scriptures to bring understanding on the subject and earnest desire through love fo...

God designed us to belong actively to a church body. Maturity in Christ happens through the context of God-ordained covenant relationships. As believers we get to submit to one another and grow together to create a family that can house new converts to grow and thrive.
