Who do you have a burden for? In today's teaching, Pastor Daniel encourages you to ask God to give you one if you don't have one.

Life on this side of heaven is difficult. Pastor Daniel says in today's message that he has never met someone with an easy life.

It was in this context that they heard from the Holy Spirit. The truth is, the Holy Spirit is still speaking. BUT... you have to make space to hear from Him. So seek out the Secret Place with God as you...

Is He YOUR Lord? Have you given Jesus His rightful place at the center of your life? Today in his message, Pastor Daniel urges you to give your allegiance to Jesus. Make Him the Master of your life.

Many people make the mistake of treating God like a vending machine-- you make a request and expect to receive what you've asked for. But in today's message, Pastor Daniel shares the truth. God isn't a vending machine. His number one goal isn't your happiness, wealth, and satisfaction. It's something much greater. God's goal for your life is to conform you into the image of His Son, Jesus. When yo...

Go to the middle of your favorite story. It's likely messy, chaotic, and maybe even scary. As you'll hear in today's teaching from Pastor Daniel, life is a bit like that too.
