 When faced with change in our lives we can miss what God wants to do because we are fighting to keep the familiar. In this message we learn that God wants to develop a faith in us to survive a world that takes unexpected turns and to see and embrace what He is trying to accomplish in and through us.

Change can feel shaky but change is necessary at times. When your world is shaky, God is a sure foundation and you can stand on that firm foundation knowing that change is producing something that is beautiful. Embrace the challenge of change.

Valentine's Day was on Sunday this year and there's no better way to explain LOVE than talking about the love Jesus freely gives to all of us. It's an unconditional love like no other found on earth.

Super Bowl LV was hosted in Tampa Bay this year and our home town Tampa Bay Buccaneers are playing in the Super Bowl on their home turf. Pastor Tony explains the benefits of having home team advantage in the big game and when it comes to serving in the Kingdom of God.

Pastor Tony closes out his "Be Bold" series with teaching us that we can even be bold with our peace. If you’re grounded in peace, supernatural things happen. If you’re grounded in peace you will find that even when you can’t trace God, you can still trust him.

Pastor Jonathan Brozozog joins us at our monthly City Nights Experience and shares life stories of how his eight children continue to teach him endless life lesson of Godly principles. God's patience, unconditional love and child-like faith are just a few of those lessons.

God will never bring you out of something without a purpose and a promise. It’s time for us to not just live life, but to walk in boldness. Start living bold.

Fear and doubt can keep you in the wilderness. If we want boldness, we have to pray BOLD prayers. When you pray it’s not about the level of your voice, but the intensity of your heart.

Fear and doubt are the enemies of boldness and strength so you have to trust God even when you can’t see Him. Your trust in the unknown circumstances of life will build your faith to be bold and fearless.

God will always remind you of His history before He reveals His destiny for you. His track record proves that He will never fail you. What if God was taking you to places you’ve never been? Get ready! God is going to do wonders in your midst.

In our final week of the "Home Alone" series, Pastor Tony teaches us about creating space for God's gifts. When we create space in your alone journey, God shows up and reveals Himself in supernatural ways. He is a God of provision and has good gifts for you.

In our moments of being alone God is still working to see His purpose fulfilled in our lives. When your plan is bigger than you, it’s never bigger than God. God takes ordinary things and makes them extraordinary. God doesn’t need a palace to arrive, He just needs a place...a space where room is made for Him.  So, make room for God and watch Him do extraordinary things in your life.

If there is anything that can silence the work of God in your life, it’s fear. You may feel isolated and alone, but God is speaking. Are you listening or are you allowing fear to drown out God's whisper? God desires to use you, but he doesn’t have to use you.

The Bible tells us that in this world we will have trouble, but take heart because Jesus has overcome the world. Knowing this, why then do we still struggle with seeing God working in our “troubles”? In this message Pastor EJ teaches us that sometimes God has to take you to a point beyond your perspective for you to see your reality, a reality that is Hope filled.

So many times we can allow a moment of offense to trap us from moving forward in our walk with God. Pastor Joe Dobbins walks us through the practical steps of breaking the chains of offense and stepping into forgiving those that offended us.

We can become weak and lose purpose, we can become bitter and operate in unforgiveness. In this message, Pastor EJ give us practical was in overcoming those tough days and hard seasons by surrendering our will into God’s hands. True healing a...

In the midst of political division and disunity among our communities, we must have the compassion, focus and restraint to bring Americans and believers together instead of further dividing us. No matter who leads our nation, we are first led by the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, Jesus. When we don’t have the answers, the King has the answers. The kingdom authority is not relegated to Heaven...
