Remember God promises and His testimonies.

Remember that everything will work out for your benefit. Romans 8:28 We know that God causes all things t...

Develop a plan to get well. Mourning is the path to promise land. Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Don’t be afraid to mourn. Mourning is the process of being comforted. Point: In America we don’t do pain so we think it is our job to get people out of it instead through it. Find people who can listen and understand you. Romans 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoi...

STERILIZE THE HOSPITAL Develop a culture of wholeness around you. Avoid sad/depressive music or watch sad/depressive movies when you are processing through your pain. Proverbs 25:20 Like one who takes off a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar on soda, is he who sings songs to a troubled heart. Stay away from negative people when you are in process of being restored. Proverbs 25:19 Like a bad to...

Psalm 147:3 AMP He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds [curing their pains and their sorrows]. Understanding Pain 1. It’s rarely “The Problem” and almost always the symptom. 2. It will lead you to the problem’s source. 3. The level of pain doesn’t necessarily determine the depth of your problem. 4. Ignoring pain or avoid it leads to deeper problems. STEP ONE - WALKING OUT OF PAIN ● T...

1. Trust God 2. Discover the source of your pain! Nehemiah surveyed the problem. So I came to Jerusalem and was there three days. 12 And I arose in the night, I and a few men with me. I did not tell anyone what my God was putting into my mind to do for Jerusalem and there was no animal with me except the animal on which I was riding. 13 So I went out at night by the Valley Gate in the direction of...

Message: Fundamentals - Part 12 The Other Side Speaker: Ryan Kibbe 05/01/2022 Sunday Service: 9:00 am Jesus’ victory at the cross made an open show and spectacle of our enemy. A complete and through defeat! So why does a completely disempowered enemy seem so empowered and active in shaping the world today? Knowing who we are in Christ empowers us to enforce the victory Jesus purchased. We fight fr...

Successful Leaders Do Ordinary Things Extraordinarily Well Example: Daniel - Distinguished himself with an ‘extraordinary spirit’ ● Daniel is an ‘influencer.’ ● He is principled. ● Non-achievers become jealous of Daniel because they wanted his status without Daniel’s character, competency, consistency and capacity. ● His haters leverage the King’s ego against Daniel’s prayer habits. ● Let’s get th...

Defining Moments Reveal Your Core Values Daniel 1:6-9 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 6 Now among them from the sons of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. 7 Then the commander of the officials assigned new names to them; and to Daniel he assigned the name Belteshazzar, to Hananiah Shadrach, to Mishael Meshach and to Azariah Abed-nego. 8 But Daniel made up his mind that he would n...

Caleb- Different Spirit Numbers 14:2-3 (NKJV) And all the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Or if only we had died in this wilderness! 3 Why has the LORD brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to E...

Nehemiah - The Agent Of Change Nehemiah 2:20 (NKJV) 20 “The God of heaven Himself will prosper us; therefore we His servants will arise and build…” Nehemiah 4:7-10; New King James Version (NKJV) 7 Now it happened, when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem were being restored and the gaps were beginning to be closed, that they became very...

Isaiah 43:18-19 NASB “Do not call to mind the former things, Or consider things of the past. Behold, I am going to do something new, Now it will spring up; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert. ● A leader's boundaries and lids will determine the thought life of those around them. ● Example: Jesus-He had no lid-He taught His disciples to th...

Message: Fundamentals - Part 11 Confrontation Speaker: Aaron Peterson 04/24/2022 Sunday Service: 9:00 am Covenant relationships are something that the modern Christian often fails to understand. To be in covenant is a different type of submittedness and vulnerability than most are used to.

2 Kings 3:9 NASB 9 So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days’ journey, and there was no water for the army or for the cattle that followed them. 2 Kings 3:16-18 NASB 16 He said, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Make this valley full of trenches.’ 17 For thus says the Lord, ‘You shall not see wind nor shall you see rain; yet that valley shall...

Colossians 3:23-24 NASB Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for people, 24 knowing that it is from the Lord that you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve. Empowering Leaders: ● See empowerment as more than a management style. It’s a LIFESTYLE! ● .Luke 15: Elder Brother: ■ Was critical and faultfinding ■ Focused on behavior mor...

Handle Criticism by: 1. Seeing it as a stepping-stone. We all experience criticism. The more we achieve, the more opportunity for others to 2nd-guess, compare, and belittle. Monday-morning quarterbacks are rarely ‘in-the-game.’ Those who typically can do something, do. Those who cannot, CRITICIZE! (Mark 3 - Pharisees criticized Jesus!) 2. Recognizing the potential of truth. Be honest with yourself...

YOU CAN’T HELP BLAME SHIFTERS AND EXCUSE MAKERS! Luke 14:18 NASB And yet they all alike began to make excuses. ● Excuse is the crutch of the un-wise and un-committed! ● People can make excuses or make progress, but they cannot make both! ● Responsible people take ownership of the problem and spend more time seeking solutions than ‘scapegoats.’ ● We don’t ‘own’ other people’s mistakes, but we can o...

YOU CAN’T TEACH THE UNTEACHABLE! Proverbs 18:1-2 NASB One who separates himself seeks his own desire; He quarrels against all sound wisdom. A fool does not delight in understanding, But in revealing his own mind. ● If they are already the ‘expert’ why are YOU wasting YOUR time? ● People who say, YES—I KNOW or YES, BUT.....they are hard to counsel because they already have made up in their mind the...

YOU CAN’T HELP SOMEONE WHO THINKS YOU ARE THE CAUSE OF THEIR PROBLEMS Genesis 3:12-13 NASB The man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me some of the fruit of the tree, and I ate.” 13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” ● If they are offended with you, it is difficult to receive from yo...

Message: Fundamentals - Part 10 Help Me Help You Speaker: Ryan Kibbe 04/10/2022 Sunday Service: 9:00 am  Help. It’s something we all need. God created it and designed us to both to give it and receive it. Help isn’t something He does, it’s who He actually IS. It’s His nature. An ever-present help in the time of trouble.   No one is an island. We all need help from one another.  But when does helpi...
