John 10:27 - Jesus’ sheep hear His voice and He knows us and guides us. Is His Voice the Voice you are listening to? Are you led, instead, by a stranger? Consider this sermon on hearing God’s voice, and following Him. Be influenced by Jesus, not the Stranger.

This message is about identifying who sits on your heart’s throne. The reality is that in fasting we can miss the target. So, check your gauges. Who’s on the throne of your heart? Do I have peace in this season? As I give up this or that food, what is Jesus speaking to me?

Continuing in the Depletion Repletion series, we are pointed to this truth, “The repletion that is the Holy Spirit being poured out, comes from letting go of my agenda and taking on His.” What is poured out of you that brings new life and filling?

Depletion is reduction in the number or quantity of something. Repletion is the condition of being filled up or overcrowded. How do these two work in tandem in the context of fasting? Consider Psalm 131:2, what does it mean to calm and quiet a soul? Listen to this message to challenge your understanding and receive encouragement when you fast.

Resting in Isaiah 9:6-7, Pastor Paul entices the congregation to be with Immanuel. "This yes to God, needs to be a 'You, Father, know better than I.'" Have you considered the passage "the government will rest on his shoulders?" Does that also mean the governance of your life? How about your heart? Are there areas that are still closed? Consider that "Immanuel" is the answer to all closed doors.

It is a privilege of parents to name their children. In the prophecies of Israel, many names are given to children foretelling various events. Consider Immanuel, God is with us. Near a thousand years later, Jesus is so. In this Christmas season, consider the many names of Jesus as a declaration of witness to this world; Prince of Peace, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Wonderful.

Good tidings, the good news, the Gospel. This is God's comfort for all mankind. Have you received Him? Supernaturally we become enveloped in the Holy Spirit when we experience God's comfort. Are you in need of God's comfort? Listen in to deepen your understanding.

Today we hear from our brother Lou Dolloway. Lou tells his tale juxtaposing the journey of his jerkish self through Jesus to a man justified. How about you? Can you relate? The common denominator of every Christian Believer is how they come into a new life through Jesus! Thank you, Lou, for sharing.

Launching from Matthew 16:19, Pastor Josh helps clarify on the context of binding and loosing. Are we only reading Scripture, or are we allowing the Scriptures to read us? How is your time with the Lord, not necessarily quantity, but quality?

Continuing in the questions, “why is the Bible so Authoritative?”, Pastor Josh takes us into pain and suffering. God’s call is to stand in calm and storm. Consider this quote from Joseph Tson “95% of Christians pass the test of adversity, while 95% of Christians fail the test of prosperity.”

Join us in this testimony sermon by Loren Widrick. From accounts of healing and exorcism from travels in India, to a personal account of heaven after a missed medical procedure, Pastor Loren encourages the body to wake up the inner man and get a "jolt" from God.

Have you ever had the thought "I wish could go back..." Well, your past is not your future when Jesus gets involved. Listen to this sermon on inviting Jesus into all of your life!

Experience can be vitally important in sharing one’s faith. Coupled with the revealed, written, Word of God we have our powerhouse testimony. Yet, experience without the Authority of Scripture, leads to ruin. Listen to this sermon on setting the Bible in it’s number one place as our Authority.

We say that God is good, all the time. We say that He is in control, and that He has a plan for everything. In this we speak the truth. What of, then, the evil of this world?

At first response, the idea to put on a yoke sounds burdensome. Yet, consider this again. What if the yoke spoken of in Matthew 11:28-30 is the actual life that you were meant to live? Listen to this sermon as Pastor Paul dives into being hitched to Jesus.

Today, Pastor Josh teaches on the Shema. The Shema is that of generational unity, for you, your sons and daughters, and your grandsons and granddaughters. See Deut 6:4-9. How does Matthew 22:39-40 connect with this core Jewish belief? Listen in to hear the unity of generations.

There is a great divide between men's unrighteousness and righteousness. On the unrighteous plateau we have men and women, of the utmost evil behavior. This is all people, on equal footing - "none righteous...". On the other side we have God. Is there a bridge? Can there be reconciliation?

On the mountain top, Jesus called out to the ones He wanted to go with Him. (Mk 3:13) Do you believe this? Do you believe that anything God invites you to do with Him will bring you LIFE! How about when He calls you to speak your testimony to friends, co-workers, fellow students, or random people off-the-street. Will that also bring LIFE? Listen here and be encouraged.

God wants us to agree in oneness. When there is contradiction between brothers and sisters in the Lord, it's time to apply questions and tools to move from contradiction to complementation. Will you make the move?

In this sermon, Pastor Josh lays out four words; disease, devouring, dejection, and detachment. Would you like immunity from these? Have you noticed the word “unity” in “immunity?” This sermon tackles judgment, those unlike yourself, and derisions.

This sermon parallels the account of Joseph (Gen 41) with our own walk on earth - that our life is a part of God's plan. Deception, trickery, loss, forgiveness, redemption, laughter, leadership, these are in our lives. Listen now and let God move us in His plan.

Sometimes the one right in front of you is also the most annoying. Annoying, or broken? Consider when Jesus groaned in frustration while surrounded by so many at the tomb of His friend. Yet, what is the Holy response to those such dear ones? Listen today at how love is displayed to the one in front of us, especially the closest who might bring frustrations.

Celebration and testimony. Returning from Belize, our missionaries tell tale of God’s goodness on their YWAM trip. Following that, our summer camp youth tell of the ways God has worked in them.

Picture the journey of Joseph before he ends in prison. He's trying to do the right thing. He's on the track God has for him. He resists outright sin! Yet in prison he goes... Consider this as you listen to today's sermon on Trusting God's Plan.

We continue in this second sermon in the Fear of God series. Doesn’t the bible say to “fear not?” Yet, doesn’t the Bible also say, “the fear of the Lord is clean and pure.” “...Be zealous for the fear of the Lord all the day…” “Fear the Lord…” “...the beginning of knowledge is the fear of God…” Listen here on more in this series.
