Be careful who you connect to. If you connect to the wrong people, it could derail you. If you are connected to the right people, it will propel you. There are no lone rangers in the Kingdom of God. We need people because partnership will increase your effectiveness. When giftings come together anything is possible through the power of partnership.

A hunger for God will attract the presence of God to your life and when you steward your time, talent and treasure, you become a conduit for the presence of God. Everything in our life that is a good thing may not be God's best and our timing isn't always best either. The timing of God is just as important as the promise of God.

As we continue to journey through 2 Kings 4, Pastor Tony walks us through some key characteristics that attract the presence of God as he continues "The Doorway" series. God is attracted to desire, humility, obedience, unity, brokenness, prayer, praise, worship, generosity, preparation, and faith.

God moves us from Glory to Glory...one season to the next season but to the transition process always involves a doorway. Your destiny will not rest until you walk through the doorway. Alignment with God's plan will always precede His assignment to your next season.

We can often find ourselves crippled by fear when faced with hardships in life. When you find yourself outnumbered. Don't run. Pray. The battle is not yours. It's the Lord's. Position yourself in a posture towards God - of trust and believing.

Special guest Pastor Tony Suarez helps us to realize that because of the power of the Holy Spirit, you now have the power of God inside of you and access to His inheritance. So go in the demonstration and the power of the Holy Spirit.

You've been set up for greater purpose. Just like Jonah, God can speak to the last season that has swallowed you up and begin to set you up for an unexpected change for the better. When you are walking through a set up, God begins to work in ways that you cannot see of understand.

God readies you today because He has already set the table for your next season and as He empowers you to go into it, every need has already been supplied. If you're connected it will lead you out of cursed situations and into moments of destiny because God always has a new season in spite of your old season.

Although darkness is opposition it is also an opportunity to share the good news of Jesus. When the enemy tells you to be quiet, you should start shouting because your actions speak to who you belong to. Who do you belong to? Speak to the enemy about who your God is and what He is capable of.

The story of Samson tells us a lot about the impact of our choices and how bad decisions can lead to unfortunate outcomes. The beauty of God's grace is that it will always be enough to overshadow our mistakes but this doesn't give us a license to blatantly sin. Sin will always take you further than you plan to go, keep you longer than you wanted to stay, and cost you more than you want t...

Pastor Tony takes us through the story of Jacob, Esau and Isaac to show that many times our biggest enemy is the one that is within. It's easy to give up in the middle of a tough situation and just become discouraged and feel alone but God will never take you to places that you cannot handle. There's purpose in your isolation. If your faith strays in tough moments just know that repentan...

Free Chapel OC pastor, Ben Prescott shared with us what God has been revealing to him through his personal devotions in scripture. Genesis 12:2-3 says, "I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” The blessing...It’s on me...It’s in me....

Many times God chooses to work in the middle of our circumstances and it's in the middle where our faith is tested. Our faith moves God. The entrance of your journey is where fresh expectation builds but THE MIDDLE is where God builds your faith and it's the way you wait that determines where you end up.

Four men used ropes to lower their friend through a roof to Jesus hoping that he would be healed. Their faith was seen by Jesus and because of their faith he was healed. In order to get a breakthrough we have to break through things and go beyond ourselves. When faith is seen miracles take place and God shows up. If faith without works is dead, faith WITH works brings things to life.

We have to make a choice. Are we going to move forward and submit to the authority of God or stay where we are? God is teaching us in the refining times of our life and God knows exactly where you're at. At the right time in your life, He will release you and anoint you for the next step in your journey. Trust God and walk by faith.

Jesus can take failures and change the world. Join us as Pastor EJ Mirelez speaks on how Jesus can take the fails of our lives and use them for his glory.

We've all got family baggage and many times in our relationships unravel because if resentment and unforgiveness. Pastor Tony challenged us to Pray-Bless-Repeat...Pray-Bless-Repeat. When we pray for those who have hurt us we release resentment in our lives. Own your own baggage. A little bit of God will go a long way! When we rely on Him, He pays our debts and lightens our load!

It doesn't matter what you're carrying, there's a blessing for your life.

Special guest and Rise Conference partner Joe Dobbins challeneged our church to pray 3 small prayers to grow our faith. We need to ask big, bold, huge prayers because He's a big, bold, huge God.

Thousands gathered across 4 services, 2 campuses, and worship overflow auditoriums for Easter citylife church. Every number has a name, every name has a story, and every story matters to God.

Special guest Tony Suarez shared his amazing testimony with us to allow us to see that our praise is not conditional to what's happening in our life. When is the last time you praised God without needing anything in return? God WILL answer your prayer, but He may not answer it the way you want Him to and even though you can't see Him, feel Him or hear Him, it doesn't negate the fact...

Bishop Tom Madden challenged us to see that many times we can be tempted to bypass the process, but God has to take us through an enlarging process in our life so we have the capacity to hold what He has for you. The 1st step in the process is to praise God in the middle of your difficulty! It's not over until God says it's over.
