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…” Dive into this series on the Fear of God.

Jesus yearns for us to be together. But what if it gets messy? Outpouring from God to us and from us to others is active as we are in relationship with others.

"Today we talk about salvation!" Just for the afterlife, or for life here on earth? Is it sufficient for those with a hard heart? What role does it play in our plans, how about God's plan? Reading scripture can be fruitful, but only if it's connected to Salvation. This and more in today's sermon.

Today, Bishop Fred Makka from Uganda proclaims, "Fathers don't run away from their families!" Launching from the first commandment with promise, Exodus 20:12, we hear of the responsibilities of children to their fathers and fathers to their children. Best of all, we hear of the love of the Great Father for all!

Exhausted? Busy… all the time? Struck, at times, with the cares of all the things around you, good and frustrating? What does it mean to be in this life? What is life? In the midst of these questions, what does God have to do with any of it? Today, come to Life!

Today, Pastor Paul expresses the timeless truth that following God's plan is "better together." There are things spoken by God that only come from the brothers and sisters of our community. Yet, what is community? Furthermore, what does that community do after receiving from God? Who are their neighbors?

What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit? Consider those who wait until they are filled with the Holy Spirit and then they are powerful witnesses. Using the account of Peter from Luke's gospel, Pastor Josh points the believer to the great yearning of God's desire that we maintain a continuous infilling of His Holy Spirit - the power with which to do His Will, that is to love others, not...

Tune in today for testimony on this Day of Pentecost. The Holy Spirit of God is loving and this is evident in each personal declaration of healing, boldness, and response! Oh! God is good, fun, and exciting. Enjoy.

Acts 2: 1-13 gives us the details of that first Pentecost. Despite all that is going on with these ancient brothers and sisters, as they wait on Jesus’ promise, they were in one accord! What cost is to pay for this same passion today?

Linda Phillips and Connie Maxon share their hearts of hope and personal testimony to instill mothers with confidence to persevere in all ways. Drawing on Lamentations and Luke, all mothers can be hopeful that their prodigal children will return, and that by living a genuine Christ life we declare a powerful witness to our kids' own Faith! Peace, and Happy Mother's Day.

Special speaker, Pastor Dago from Cuba proclaims Christians are people who walk in fire! Translated by Pastor Sam Larkin, be encouraged and emblazoned by this word of God!

We are all called to be holy. We are labeled by God after we receive Jesus, thus we become holy. This is not synonymous with perfection. Enter the puppy. Consider the ways, or pitfalls, of a puppy. Contrast these ways with the ways of Jesus, the Holy One Who made us His holy one!

Continuing in a second part to the previous week, Pastor Josh tackles the heart of behavior instead of Jesus. With best intentions in mind, lines are drawn and rules are placed in the name of God, but without the heart of God. Listen to this two sided encouragement and caution.

There are ways the impurities can enter into the lives of Christians and disrupt what God wants to do. Listen to this sermon that encourages us to go deep, being watchful of such thorns, as we are truly led by the Holy Spirit. Even when that leading takes you to your fellow brother or sister in correction.

Consider this vision: a group of connected congregants committed to Christ’s body, locally, regionally, and globally. Doing stuff together, not to be busy, but because of the expression of love for one another and God. In this we go far, together.

How would our life change if we lived with Resurrection revelation deep in our hearts? Would we forgive that person who insulted us, even when they don't admit fault? Would we shoot down our right to get offended when we are genuinely hurt by another? What death can be overcome with the Life of Jesus? Listen and be challenged.

Listen now to challenge your own perspective on what the Father would like to do in both the region you live, and through you. After all, Luke 24:21: The disciples thought, and wanted, the Kingdom of God to appear immediately. Crowds of people felt the same! “Save us now, I pray” they cried. Yet, Jesus’ salvation was already at hand. It just didn’t look like what they expected.

Mark 1:9-13. Jesus is baptized and then immediately driven into the wilderness. The Holy Spirit drove Him there... why? Listen now and hear of our Savior receiving the Father's love, consecration, and anointing.

"What does it mean for me to walk with God?" Every person has to ask this question at some point.  The abundant life answers this question in the deepest sense WITH Jesus, not without.  Sometimes when we look in the mirror, we look at our outward appearance and begin to think life is about those imperfections.  Instead, drag this mindset into Jesus' presence and listen to what He is...
