The expression of generosity is more about faith than it is about finances. It is in the spirit of benevolence that the early church made such a profound impact upon a culture saturated in greed. Therefore, to live a life with a loose grip on every earthly possession, because of a heavenly perspective, is to believe that we are not owners of nothing, but instead stewards of everything.

The perception of an individual's significance is usually without the filter of a backstory of the investment of those in the background. Therefore, your legacy as a person of significant influence is not only defined by the tangible qualities you possess, but also the intangible qualities you deposit.

We've all heard athletes, actors, couples, and successful people thank the Lord for blessing their lives. How do we get Gods blessings in our home?

The abundant life of a believer is found in the vineyard between the upper room of the Lord's last supper and the garden of Gethsemane. Learning the "Secret of the Vine" will allow you to live in the power of the Empty Tomb.

It is important to note that the exclusivity of Jesus is not based upon a lack of being inclusive, but instead a factual reality of the "law of non-contradiction", which states when two statements are opposed to each other, one must be false. Therefore, Jesus is fully inclusive to all people, through the exclusive reality that with {JESUS plus nothing is everything}.

What has been deemed or decreed as impossible in and around your life can become possible because of one singular supernatural event in history, the resurrection of Jesus! Therefore, today it is our desire that you would discover your comeback story in a tomb that is empty, a Savior who is living and a salvation that has been afforded by grace through Jesus.

The language of sheep and the shepherd is used by the Apostle John over 30 times in his writings to the early church. The word "sheep" is referenced over 300 times in Scripture, all the while depicting a guiding relationship between God and his people, leading us to know our worth and value.

We continue our "I AM" series on the 7 statements of Jesus that declare His deity; we arrive at a two-part message that reveals Jesus as the "Good Shepherd", serving as a fulfillment of Ezekiel 34:11-17. Shepherding imagery in Scripture is always a reflection of role and responsibility in the context of relationship, which is the very invitation that Jesus extends to all through Him being the "OPE...

No one has ever said "turn on the dark", but instead by turning on the light, darkness has no choice but to submit and vanquish. Today's message is the continuation of our "I AM" series revealing the teachings of Jesus as God through everyday life illustrations revealing His divine attributes for personal application. Be challenged, encouraged and convinced that through Jesus as the Light of the W...

The first of the 7 "I AM" statements of Jesus are in alignment with the fourth miracle recorded in John, which is the feeding of the multitude, estimating nearly 5000 people. The only two miracles recorded in all 4-gospel accounts are the resurrection of Jesus and the feeding of the 5000. This occurrence reveals the intentionality of the writer to point out that this memorable miracle is more fulf...

You are the workmanship of God, created for Him to give glory to Him by living through Him.  The greatest challenge to a life of higher calling is a failure to understand who the One is doing the calling. Therefore, to live life with meaning, magnitude, and great measure, I must allow my limitations of what "I am not" to be transformed by the "I AM".

We are honored to have our One Weekend Pastor Jason Cook with us: Jason Cook played collegiate football at The University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) where he would be a 4 year starter and 4 year letter winner at Fullback.

The "Lord's prayer" or "model prayer" was given as a guide to move every disciple of Jesus through 6 anchor statements that keep one in a constant attitude of prayer. It is in the rhythm of the Lord's Prayer that hope is held , a cry of help is heard , and a hand of heaven holds .

This verse is considered the doxology of the Lord's Prayer, meaning "doxa" equals honor and "logy" or "logos" means word.  Therefore, put the two definitions together and you have "words of honor". The Lord's Prayer is embedded in this doxology and serves as a succinct reminder of what we have and who we are in Christ. So, don't forget…

The freedom of forgiveness causes the child of God not to seek how much one can get away with, but instead how much they can get away from. The tension between these two realities has been considered "the fight"! The battle is between the desires of the flesh versus the delight of the Spirit, and the one who wins is determined by which one is given permission. Therefore, walking in victory is dete...

The Lord's Prayer or model prayer is a revelation of the character of God as Father, King, Provider, Forgiver, Leader and Deliverer revealing a rhythm of invitation and challenge. Therefore, our relationship with God spiritually is to permeate our relationships physically, causing God to become most visible in our lives when we embrace and model forgiveness.

As we wait for the fullness of the physical Kingdom of God to come to this earth, we move in confidence that the Kingdom of Jesus is advancing in us. However, in our limitations, frailty and weakness, the "model prayer" shifts to a need for His provision to sustain us. The question is what is that provision?

As followers of Jesus we live within two historical book ends such as "Jesus leaving his rule as king to dwell on earth" and "Jesus as our reigning king on this earth". Therefore, there is more than a calling to embrace, but a command to embark upon, which is the advancement of this kingdom through our lives.

Today's message begins a new series that will cover the "Lord's Prayer or Model Prayer" line by line over the next several weeks to discover not a routine, but a rhythm, not a prescription, but a pattern, not a formula, but a flow for life.
