Peter has some great contrasting moments. One moment he’s knocking it out of the park with great responses and shining decisions, and the next moment he appears to have fallen off the back of the train. We learn through his life that God wastes absolutely nothing. There is never an excuse for sin but there’s also not an excuse to stay down or give up or get stuck. We must be like a righteous man w...

We venture back to Adam & Eve and get a solid understanding of how intimacy was supposed to look from the very beginning. Both between the institution of marriage as well as what it was like for them to walk in unbroken relationship with The Lord before the fall of man. There’s much to uncover in this. Then, venturing into what Jesus has to say about oneness and tying this into what the plan w...

The gates of hell will not prevail against us! The gates aren’t meant to keep the devil and his demons in, it’s really to keep us out! We’re meant to plunder hell! Every time we share the Gospel and every time we make disciples, we’re wreaking havoc on the kingdom of darkness for the glory of God. Peter figured this out when he identified who the Christ is, the Messiah, the Son of the living God!...

As we’re learning to grow in intimacy with the Lord, the trust factor comes into play. If we’re struggling with intimacy with God, there’s a strong chance that we’re actually dealing with a trust problem. Trust is essentially faith. Pastor Josiah takes us into the life of Abraham & Sarah and their remarkable journey to learn to be intimate with God which correlated to their intimacy with each...

We’re all in process. We likely have not arrived to looking just like Christ. It’s a process’s. The disciples were in it and Jesus was extremely patient with them, as He is with us. The only vital error would be to abandon the process He has us in. Can’t have it! Pastor Josiah shares how vital the process is that we’re all in and how crucial we are to walk through this together as family.

Intimacy will always be tied to reproduction. We know that intimacy cannot be separated from sexual intimacy but to be clear, the intimacy with the Lord we’re discussing is NOT a sexual intimacy. However, when we can use the understanding of what sexual intimacy is between a husband and a wife, a man and a woman, we see a guide and uncover some helpful tools that will help us explore what intimacy...

We all have a relationship with God. It may not be a good relationship or it may be a great relationship. But to some degree we all have some sort of relationship with Him. Defining that relationship as a “love relationship” is vital. How we see Him will project how we see ourselves and how we engage with Him. Pastor Josiah launches us into a study on what intimacy with God actually looks like. Wh...

Where are we going as a church in 2025? There’s so much vision for where we feel the Lord is taking us. Best of all, it’s where the Lord is leading us!

Begin praying about what your part to play is on this journey. It’ll take all of us to d...

Fasting is an incredible tool to keep the flesh in check. When the flesh is in check the spirit man soars! We learn from Paul that the flesh and the spirit are always contrary to one another and fasting is a way of telling the flesh who is really in charge. However, dietary adherence without spiritual engagement will not produce the desired results. The goal is to engage with God. As Faith Chapel...

Drawing parallels a reboot in the film industry and the concept of a "spiritual reboot," Pastor Tim emphasizes the need for a fresh start in our walk with God. It uses the downfall of a film franchise and its eventual revival to illustrate how embracing a clean slate requires letting go of past mistakes and allowing something new to emerge. The message encourages believers to die to their old selv...

Jesus was setting an example for the disciples to learn fro...

Pastor Josiah helps clean up the confusion and give a strong Biblical foundation for what this gift needs to look like within the body of Christ and how beneficial it is for every one of us. This special gift, reserved...

When Jesus sent out the 12, it was time to see what they’d actually learned! It’s where the rubber met the road so to speak. He sent them out with authority and power to actually do all He’d been preparing them to do. We too have been sent out and carry His authority as we’ve been sent by Him. To proclaim the Gospel and to demonstrate the Kingdom. BOTH. The times of delay are far over. The world n...

You’ve heard it said, but it’s truer than ever before, it’s time for the church to become the church that it was always meant to be. The body of Christ holds such an important role in the advancement of God’s Kingdom! Our Father has equipped us with boldness and power, not for our own self-aggrandizement, but rather to share the message of salvation and freedom in the manner He has intended!

It’s so vital for us to learn to discern what’s happening at the source. We live in a spiritual world and there are forces at work behind the natural veil we must learn to be aware of. Arguably this gift is one of the most crucial gifts needed within the body of Christ. The Apostle John had much to say on the topic as are there tremendous stories all throughout the Scriptures and namely the book o...

Hellen Keller famously wrote, “The only thing worse than being blind is having sight, but no vision.” There was spiritual leaders that were the most qualified to recognize the Messiah, but even they were blind to His coming when He stood before them — yet blind people could see who He was. Pastor Josiah shares about the value of community within the Body of Christ, so that when your faith is down...
