The president of ORU, Dr. William Wilson shared with us that today's culture is in the midst of an identity crisis. Despair comes when you don't know you you are and you will only find your identity when you find God.

Pastor Tony challenged us to be at peace with God, be at peace with yourself, live in peace with others and to be a peacemaker as we walk out our journey of faith. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons and daughters of God (Matthew 5:9).

When you align yourself with the will of the Father, there is resurrection in your future but if you're waiting for a person to take you into your next season, it will never happen. Pick yourself up and start moving forward towards God's perfect will for your life.

Life has a way of throwing twists, turns and unexpected roadblocks, but as Christ followers, we are called to trust Him and remain hopeful through every circumstance. In moments of chaos, it is vitally important to cling to God’s word, making decisions based on facts and not on emotional highs and lows. In Christ we have faith, hope and love in every season we walk through. In this message, we lea...

Jesus said, “I tell you most solemnly that anyone who chooses a life of sin is trapped in a dead-end life and is, in fact, a slave. A slave is a transient, who can’t come and go at will. The Son, though, has an established position, the run of the house. So if the Son sets you free, you are free through and through."

Sometimes God will have you serving those who will one day serve you and if you believe that your next season is connected to your now season, you won't give up so easily. What looks ordinary to others is supernatural when God is in it.

Everyone has voices in their lives, and they determine our perspective and decisions we make. As Christians, we have two voices that need to be silenced in order for us to experience the life God has destined for His children. Pastor Michael Carroll teaches us that when these voices are silenced, the voice of our destiny becomes clear and we are able to navigate life being led by the presence of G...

If you follow God long enough you will see that there are times God will push pause on your life but He never pushes pause without cause. What if He is pushing pause on your life to give time to heal some pain. God cannot heal pain you are trying to hide. You must admit that you are hurting so that God can comfort you because pain does not dissipate it accumulates. If you you don't allow God...

It's so important to make sure you are stewarding the gifts God gives you well. You can have the right stuff and use it the wrong way. You can also have the right people in your life to to propel you into greatness or the wrong people to derail you into distraction. Sometimes our senses become dull to where we are at but the Father's grace is always looking for places of redemption. The...

In the Old Testament they had moments of visitation but in the New Testament it was all about habitation. In the Old Testament it was "God with us" but in the New Testament it is "God in us." Pastor Tony teaches us that God wants to deposit His spirit within you so that you can begin to impact your world.

Where you are at does not catch God by surprise. Your circumstance does not dictate what God has for you. The best way to walk in the anointing God has for you is to walk with a servant's heart and always have a willingness to answer His call.

God doesn't just want to get his glory to you; He wants to get His glory through you. He can use the good and the bad situations of our life to make it happen. Sometimes, the "Yes" of God causes us to make a sacrifice. Other times, we have to be willing to accept God's "No," although we cannot always understand it. Even in waiting seasons, God shows up. Regardless of...

We can throne ourselves on our own successes if we don't continue to prepare our minds for the next season. Pastor Tony reminds us that legacy is not about what you're doing, it's about what will carry on after you're gone. One practical thing we can all do to keep us on track to get connected to someone in the generation behind us and before us.

The way you're going to go has already been traveled and the 3rd day power of resurrection is working in you but if we aren't careful it will be easier for us to believe that we are a target for the enemy rather than a target for the blessings of God. You are here on purpose for a purpose.

Everywhere that Jesus went he was aligning the kingdom and throughout scripture we can see how the number 3 was significant in much of this. 3 nails. 3 words. 3 keys. 3 days. The King of glory has all power and is alive and well. 3 more words reveal this..."He has risen!"

God knows what you've walked through and He's going to use that! If you only know how to praise God in the good seasons and your worship is diminished in the midst of your tough seasons you can't truly rejoice in the journey. When you walk in humility and praise in all seasons, God will begin to elevate you.

The enemy will always attack in seasons of transition but praise will always aligns your desires with God's desires. Your praise changes your atmosphere, attitude, energy level, relationships, faith and desires.

Spring training is a season of preparation of what is to come in the future. Many times God has us in a preparation season where He is equipping us and conditioning us for what He has in store for our next season. In order for God to move us from glory to glory, we must first submit our in between seasons to His training.

In a world where storage units are filled to the max, garages are packed with clutter and people crave for more and more stuff, Pastors Tony and Kaci challenge us to strip away unnecessary things that don't bring us joy. It's time for spring cleaning. 

Spring and "springtime" refer to the season, and also to ideas of rebirth, rejuvenation, renewal, resurrection and regrowth. We believe that God is wanting to reset us, restore us, and to re-establish his joy in our lives in this spring season. Join us over the next few weeks as we pursue God's best for this next season.

In Matthew 13:1-9, Jesus taught us the different types of hearts that people have. Until you allow the Holy Spirit to cultivate your heart into a place of fertile soil that can produce the Spirit’s fruit in your life, you will never fully walk in His intended purpose and will for your life. It’s from the potter’s wheel that He molds you and shapes you with His word and Spirit until the heartbeat o...
