Built on the Rock

It needs the Gospel, the power of God that transforms, delivers, heals, restores, and brings freedom! So let's be bold in telling people about Jesus, what He has done for them, and how much He loves them! "For I am...

Do you need freedom in your life? Freedom from anxiety, addiction, depression or anything else you feel like has a hold on you? You will find that in surrendering your life to God!

We're back! Hope and I are excited to be back and getting in the Word with y'all again! Today we're talking about what it means to be built on the Rock! Not sure what that means, or what we're even talking about? No problem! Give this a listen and find out!

We must keep who's first, first in our lives! I know it can be easy to get distracted or pulled away, especially during this time of year. That's why it's so important that we, all the more, focus on what God is saying and where He is moving! The simple instruction Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 1:5 keeps my focus where it needs to be. "5 But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart, from a...

Listen as we observe the lives of Jesus' disciples. They were hungry for a life with Jesus before they truly knew what that looked like and when they were called, they stepped out by faith to follow Him. When Jesus asked them to do new things they did them by faith and learned to live their life according to the principles of God. Are you ready to take a leap of faith and follow Jesus? What steps...

You may have heard this your whole life, or you may have never heard this. But the truth is that Jesus really does love you.

It's important that we know that He loves us and that we receive His l...

Today we're starting a series talking about our relationship with the Lord! Our relationship with Him really is the foundation for everything we do. He's not an add-on to our life, He's not a sometimes Lord of our life, He has to be THE LORD of our life, and His desire is to be in constant relationship with us!

James 1:22 says "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." Applying God's Word to your life takes decisive action! When you begin to apply His Word to your life you go from the Word being something you've added to your life, to His Word being what defines your life! So, how do you apply God's Word to your life? That is what we're talki...

If you'd like to support our ministry and help us with our goal of sharing God's Word with the world, you can use the...

Three days later He rose from the grave victorious! Let's get in the Word, look at what Jesus has done, and see what that means for you and me!

Today we are going to Genesis chapter 12 and taking a look at Abram, who became Abraham, as we see what it looks like to respond in faith! We'll see that it takes a willingness to listen and obey even when it doesn't make sense and to lay down what is comfortable in order to receive God's promises! Let'...

Today we are talking about the fruit of our mouths! What are you saying? The words you speak are a direct reflection of what is stored up in your heart (Matthew 12:34). Proverbs 18:21 says, "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." We can use our words to speak life or to speak death. So, lets choose to keep our hearts turned toward God, stay...

Let's get in the Word, and see what it...
