As Thanksgiving approaches, are we aware of the power of gratitude in our lives?

Eric Johnson teaches on the sermon on the mount. There are four parts to the story: house, sand, rock, and weather.

Let’s build our lives on the solid foundation of Jesus.

Every believer has been called to live in the prophetic, and God designed us to practice it in the context of covenant relationships.

In this insightful, heart-provoking message, Pastor Bill addresses the recent turmoil in the U.S. with Biblical truth from 2 Chronicles 7:14.

So many of us want our lives to change, but working from the outside in will never catalyze the changes we are searching for. In Romans 12:2, God tells us our lives are transformed when we change from the inside out, starting with our minds.

It’s not a one-time impartation. Integrity is a personal process of character built day by day. We live in an age where norms and morals are being redefined, so it is crucial we tune in to the Spirit and allow Him to tighten up the values we may have allowed to get loose over time. The world around us longs for us to be a people of integrity as we remain true to what we value the most. Let’s conte...

What’s the difference between provision and abundance? It all starts with renewing our minds. God wants to give us abundantly more than we expect, yet so many of us struggle to accept what He longs to offer us because we are satisfied with just enough. Once we start to believe that God offers us His best, He responds to our faith with abundance. Let’s build a culture that celebrates God’s heart to...
