When we obey the instructions of our Heavenly Father... 1. WE are blessed. 2. Our FAMILY is blessed. 3. We look more like JESUS. Instructions (and even commands) towards us being generous with our money, as well as our time and abilities, is ALL OVER both the Old Testament and the New Testament. So if God only gives us instructions that are for our own good and the good of others, what is the bles...

When God welcomed you into His family, He did not give you a cheap, technical seat at the table. Instead, God invites you into true sonship. He calls you a fully adopted son or daughter with all of the blessings and the responsibilities that come with the family name. Do you view yourself this way? Joe Cirafici explains what it really means to call ourselves "Sons of God." If you enjoyed...

There are several stories of God testing people throughout the Bible. Even Jesus Himself was tested by God. While testing is difficult and often quite painful, we can see through these stories that these tests are actually there to bless us. How? Today Danny Hochstatter reveals the true and glorious purpose behind these tests from God. If you enjoyed this message, please review and share this mess...

Once we have learned how to release our grip on the things that we can't control, we can then grab ahold of the things that we can take control of. Our own thoughts, actions, words, and responses to things that happen to us are some of the only things that we can really affect so let's focus our energy on the only things that we really have any ability to affect. Today Natalie Hochstatter...

If you want to know Father God, you're going to need to get to know Jesus because no one comes to the Father except through Him. The good news is that the Father is just as loving, as kind, and as welcoming as Jesus. Today Nathan Blouse invites us all into the Family of God.

The Mel Robbins book "Let Them" has been sweeping the nation! Is this a reflection of Christ or just another fad idea? Today Natalie helps us explore the concepts within the book and how it relates to us as Christ followers.

Today Vito LoCascio illustrates for us what it looks like to be a true disciple of Jesus Christ.

No matter where we are going, we get there one step at a time. But what if our steps are not aimed at our goal? When our steps are misaligned, each new step takes us in the wrong direction. Today Danny Hochstatter demonstrates the power of taking good, consistent steps. If you enjoyed this message, please review and share this message with someone who needs it. Connect with us at www.

Are you operating out of your base, animalistic, survival nature or are you operating out of the peace, joy, and love of Jesus?

Parasites are living things that wriggle into our bodies and then manipulate our behavior for the benefit of the parasite, even if that behavior is killing us. While the Bible doesn't talk much about parasites, it talks a LOT about sin and one of the best ways to conceptualize sin is to think of it as a "Spiritual Parasite." This is a message unlike any you've heard before! If yo...

Jesus says that we have not because we ASK not (James 4:2). If that's true, then let's ASK! Asking God clarifies our desires, invites God into our situation, and it is how we bring Heaven to Earth! Today Danny Hochstatter encourages us to pray with the " shameless audacity " that Jesus asks us to pray with (Luke 11:8).

Traditions exist to pass on our beliefs and our values to the next generation. Do you know the deep meaning nested inside of the traditions you practice? And if there is no meaning to the tradition anymore, maybe it's time to reinvent the tradition and recapture the things that matter most to you and your family. Today Danny Hochstatter invites us to make this Christmas season our most meaningful...

A gift left unopened is not a very useful gift. It's only when the gift is opened that we experience the joy, love, gratitude, power, and blessing contained within it. Today Joe Barlow helps us to open up the gifts God has already given to us. If you enjoyed this message, please review and share this message with someone who needs it. Connect with us at www.

God doesn't always work the way we expect Him to. The problem with placing expectations on what WE think God is going to do is that we can miss what He is ACTUALLY doing, which is probably better than we would have expected anyway. Today Natalie Hochstatter helps us free God from our expectations and allow us to receive God's desire for our lives. If you enjoyed this message, please review and sha...

Family is one of the most transformative forces in this world. God describes Himself as a father, Jesus is His Son, and we are all invited to be brothers and sisters of Christ. It seems that family is one of the best pictures of what life with God is supposed to look like. Today Danny Hochstatter invites us to look a bit closer at something we might be taking for granted. If you enjoyed this messa...

We like to think that the Christian life is nothing but hard work, but what if PLAY is actually the key to learning and growing while loving our lives?

Chuck Parry has lived his life surrounded by miracles. While he leads the world-famous healing rooms at Bethel Redding, Chuck would be the first person to say that he is no more capable of bringing about healing than anyone else. The same Holy Spirit that lived in Jesus lives in us and JOY has a lot more to do with healing than you might think. If you enjoyed this message, please review and share...

God has made us into a nation of Kings and Priests! We were not meant to sit idly by while the world burns, we are called to rule and reign over all of creation as extensions of our Great King of Kings! Today Danny Hochstatter reminds us of our royal identity and calls us back to our rightful place as Kings and Queens.

When we reduce salvation down to just "praying the prayer," we miss out on all of the beautiful transformation that comes from truly being led in the ways of Jesus. You can't become yourself by yourself, so find someone who can help you become the person you were meant to be. Today Danny Hochstatter invites us into this transformative kind of relationship.
