Mary and Joseph had no place to go except a stable to lay the Christ child. That place became a house—a house of worship. In today's message, Pastor Tony shares how worship alters our perspective ushers His presence, and changes us!

Marry was just an ordinary girl from an ordinary family living in an ordinary town. But when faced with an opportunity to be used by God, her response was anything but ordinary. “Let it be unto me.” The story of Christmas is about taking the most unlikely and using it to change the world. All he needs is a “YES”!

The average person makes 35,000 decisions/choices each day. Each decision, whether big or small, shapes our destiny. In today's message, Pastor Tony shares the story of a lame man stuck in his situation for 35 years, BUT now he has decided to respond to Jesus' command. Because of his "YES," he rose, took up his mat, and was made whole.

It is being thankful that changes our attitudes and our actions. It changes how we live. And others notice — and it is contagious. In faith, let us thank God in advance for all he has done and all he will do in the days, weeks, months, and years to come — because Thanksgiving has tremendous power!

There are many times in our lives we can take for granted Jesus, who sees us, hears us, and even helps us. Have we ever gone back and thanked Him for His goodness? In the bible, there were ten people who needed a miracle, but only one went back to Jesus and expressed their gratitude. Pastor Jason's message reminds us to be the one who returns to Jesus to express our appreciation.

Seeing a mountain in your life can be discouraging and intimidating. A part of the enemy's plan is to silence your voice in fear. Pastor Tony's message encourages the believer to "Speak to Mountains." What we believe is expressed through our words. Our words have power - they frame the world we live in. As we speak, mountains begin to move because of the power of our words.

Praise is something we hear of and even engage with in times of joy and victory, but how much do we really understand about one of the greatest weapons in our arsenal? In today's message, we learn that the power of praise is just as effective when we do not yet see victory as it is in times of triumph and that the power of our declaration will unlock God's provision in our lives.

You can go three weeks without food, three days without water, and three minutes without air, but you cannot go three seconds without thinking. That's why the stakes are high when it comes to controlling your mind. Our mind can be used to its full potential. For you to live out God's plan, you must unleash your total mental capacity.

Battling negative thoughts can be an ongoing challenge for believers in our society today. Discover how to reframe your mindset in part three of our "Mastermind" series. Pastor Kaci's message is one that challenges the church to redirect, reframe, and transform our way of thinking.

Mental Health is one of the greatest threats to our generation today, but sadly, it remains one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented illnesses.

Storms are unpredictable. You can't control them, you can't stop them, but you can prepare for them. In today's message, we learn that it's not enough to have the right tools for the storm, but you have to have the power on the inside to make them operate.

In an age when the culture is increasingly secular, it is beneficial to be in a family of like-minded believers. These brothers and sisters can encourage you in your faith journey, respond to your questions about spiritual issues, and be a support in times of hardship. In week 3 of Family Matters, we look at what it is to have "A Family of Choice."

Often, how we experience relationships with parents, spouses, and friends can ultimately affect and shape our view of our relationship with our Heavenly Father. We've experienced hurt, disappointment, and feelings of being unwanted or unloved, and we think our relationship with God will be the same. In today's message, we look into who God truly is, the relationship he wants with us, and what he s...

Many of us desire to love God's word more but are unaware of how to cultivate those desires. In today's message, we dive into Psalm 119 and discover that if you align with the vastness of God's word. What is inside you will begin to come out of you.

The weight of the wait can feel so heavy at times. The wait can sometimes make you feel like you’ve been forgotten and even abandoned. Sometimes it feels like the things we’re waiting for will never happen. We need to remember that often the posture of our wait determines our destiny. We must learn to trust in God’s goodness today and His Faithfulness tomorrow.

God never created us to stay the same or in the same place. But oftentimes we become complacent because of fear of what we can't see rather than trusting to walk out the plan God has for our lives. In today's message, we are given practical steps to elevate our faith to meet and overcome any barriers in our life.

There is nothing like starting your day with the perfect cup of coffee. On the flip side, there is nothing like a mouthful of bitter coffee grounds to ruin any day. What's the difference maker? The filter. In today's message, we learn that no matter how painful life may be, it becomes desirable when filtered through the goodness of Jesus.

Sometimes what we pray for doesn’t happen right away. Why is that? If God hears us when we pray, the answer to that prayer would be instant. Today's message reminds us to “have faith in God.” He hears you. He sees you. He knows you, and he’s working on your behalf.

The Bible says that the presence of God will be with you. What does that mean, and how do we obtain the presence of God in our lives? In today's message, Dr. David Cooper unpacks the presence of God, what it is and how it works in our lives.

As we move across the year's halfway point, sometimes it seems as if we have been shipwrecked away from God's plan for our lives. In today's message, we see that what seemed to be a set back is a set up for your second half. God's word encourages us to shake off the things of the past and believe that no matter how you started, you can choose how you finish.

In today's message, I Am Free, we discuss how we are free in the name of God. We are free from our past, we are free to live in the present and we are free to believe for a greater future. As the word tells us, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free."

Do you ever feel like you know the direction of your own path? We will always have choices to make or situations that we will go through. Choices that may seem larger than life and situations that feel unbearable at times. We often find ourselves trying to go through these moments alone and using our own understanding. In this week’s message, we learn that it is Jesus who knows the true direction...
