We are in a crucial time in Church history. There is so much happening in our nation politically and socially that goes against the truth of God's Word, but it is all spiritual! There's a spiritual battle that we as believers should engage in! The battle is not against flesh and blood! We've been fighting the culture of America on such a surface level, on the outside. It's time to...

The storm creates confusion to make us believe it has the power to define us. The storm creates opposition to make us believe that it has the power to define our destination. The storm creates chaos to make us believe that it has the power to define our solid ground. But we have an anchor that provides stability and calm even in chaos. The storm doesn't have the power to define us, define our...

Jeremy and Nedra share their personal story of receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit and how their different encounters lead to a deep relationship with Him. We pray you are set on fire and encouraged through this message to build a daily and life-long relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Jesus has prepared a table for us that is connected to His covenant. His table is the place we receive what He has provided for us. If we bypass His table, we will chase after things that have already been provided which will leave us feeling empty and unfulfilled. His table is the place where we are filled. It's the place where we belong. And it's the place we are empowered to overcome th...

God is less interested in what we're doing on the outside and way more interested in what's happening on the inside. He's always going after the heart. We must make sure our heart is fully surrendered and every area aligned with Jesus! From the heart flows all the issues of life. The decisions we make on the inside affects everything we do on the outside. God is cleaning house and it&#...

Ultimate authority was given to Jesus and then given to us through the triumph of His resurrection. He invites the Church to partner with Him in reigning with authority through faith, intimacy in our connection with God, and obedience and surrender on this earth.

Authority submits to the Word of the Lord in a way that knows when to wait and when to act. Power is about what's in it for me. Authority is about what's available to me to bless the world around me. Authority takes responsibility to enforce the word of the Lord, defending our birthright, and advancing the kingdom of God.

A legacy of serving like Christ and carrying His true authority is calling us forth, but we must stop reaching for the bowl of stew. An invitation to lay down our need to be seen is extended in this message as we expose and cast out the self-seeking, self-serving demonic agendas that destroy and divide.

The only correct response to what Jesus has done for us, being saved by grace, is an every day surrender to Jesus! We must guard our heart with all diligence by being fully surrendered to God in every area of our life! The struggle, personal issues, and continuous cycle of sin can always be traced back to a heart that's not fully surrendered. The only way our mind can truly be renewed is if we...

Esau considered the loss of his birthright as inconsequential as long as he could possess the blessings of God. The birthright contains the blessings of God, but also requires commitment to the family legacy of what God is doing on the earth. We can sometimes experience a mistaken sense of freedom, as Esau did, when we seek to possess blessings without commitment and the power without accountabili...

Victoriously laughing at the lies of the enemy and joyfully celebrating the unmatched rule and reign of Jesus Christ. We are moving into a new day as we receive fresh vision, new fire, and the refreshed filling of new wine from heaven.

We have freely received the Father's blessing from the Lord, freely we can give it away with our words of blessing.

True faith doesn't just believe in Jesus. It believes that what He accomplished on the cross is enough! The most challenging thing in Christianity is trying not to add to the cross! We find ourselves doing things to try and make up for a mistake or we do things to try and generate more power to see breakthrough. The reality is that there is nothing we could ever do that could exceed what has a...

Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. -Isaiah 12:2-3

Sunday Morning Message

In this teaching activation message on praying in tongues, we will look at the Scriptures to open up the power of this gift for new covenant believers. May you be blessed, equipped, and filled with the Holy Spirit!

Moses asked God, "Who am I that I should go?" God answered, "I am with you." God told Moses, "My Name is I AM." God tells us, "Go, because you are the one I AM with. My Presence with you because of the blood of Jesus makes you worthy, makes you capable, makes you courageous, makes you bold, makes you powerful, makes you loving, makes you pure, makes you holy, mak...

Living from a place of hope partners with God to affect our life in a powerful way. It produces hope in us and affects the world around us. Hope is not just positive thinking. It is a person--Jesus--and He lives in us! Hope is not an outside job. It's an inside job! It is believing that God really is good and His word supersedes any other words we hear or things we are faced with. True hope di...

In Hebrews 12:28-29 it says: "Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire." In this message we share three keys to help guide us in offering God acceptable worship with reverence and awe.

The Great Commission is described as great because it's the greatest call on our lives as believers! No matter what you're doing in life, your greatest calling is to make Jesus known. There tends to be a separation between the Church of God and the Mission of God. It's time to bridge that gap! It's time to be driven by such a love for people that we can't help but represent and...

There’s a door standing open in heaven. There is an invitation from the One Who sits on the throne to come up here and see—to see with the eyes of hope, to know our role in God’s plan, and to increase our awareness of His power and our victory. The more we choose to be in the Spirit and enter that door to see heaven, the more it will change the way we see earth.

God sent His Son, Jesus, so that we could have a personal relationship with Him. Within that relationship is a co-laboring partnership to be a part of the greatest thing in the history of our world--building God's Kingdom on the earth! Just because Jesus said, "it is finished" does not mean we do nothing. It means everything we do, we do it with Him. Jesus finished something so we co...

Is it possible that we can face every adversity with the expectation that its only purpose is to remove that which limits us and bring us into greater authority? When we face the fires of adversity, we can create an image of a god who will rescue us which will leave us enslaved and wounded, or we can walk through them with Jesus--unbound and unharmed.

The fear of the Lord is key to the outpouring of the Spirit and the fear of the Lord invites us to carry the burning heart of Jesus. It's in the ream of casting our crowns before Him where we truly begin to understand the weight of the sacrifice of Jesus and the authority we've been entrusted with as His chosen. You are born into a family, but you are invited into a legacy. Come up and com...
