Many people come to church on Sunday mornings and feel the tangible presence of God on them, and they equate that for the Holy Spirit being in them and his approval being on them. But, the church has to be careful that we don't correlate the Presence of God on us as his approval over us. And in 1 Kings 12:1-24, we hear the story of an unnamed man of God, and Pastor Jay walks through the difference...

Prayer is a powerful tool in our belt when it comes to spiritual warfare. In this message from Crystal Allemand, she walks us through a Prayer Ripple. To download a copy of the Prayer Ripple, visit parkwaycc.com/sermons and look at the sermon notes for "Prayer + Worship Night: Prayer Ripple"

In the letter to Philemon, Paul is asking him to walk and act in love. Why? Because the ground is level at the foot of the cross. In this message from Pastor Kylee, we are challenged to 1. Be the Paul. Lead, guide and stand in the gap for the Onesimus' in our lives. 2. To forgive and embrace each other in Christ when dealing with a difficult situation. 3. If you are the Onesimus, then remember, yo...

Our spiritual experiences are tied to our "Together Experiences." You need to be willing to accept all of it to experience all of it.

Scripture tells us that when the enemy comes into a culture, the Lord is allowed to raise the standard amongst the people. And so we have to get the proper frame of mind as Christians and believers in our culture today, just because the enemy comes in and begins to run roughshod over our culture and nation, doesn't mean that were called to be silenced and not raise the standard. Isaiah 59:19

Luke 17:20-21 Everywhere we go and everywhere we walk. Every assignment, every pathway where God leads us, there is a Kingdom within us that enables us to do things that we couldn't do ourselves. We are carriers of a Kingdom that also has an atmosphere. This atmosphere allows us to have peace and joy in situations that may be hard, confusing or frustrating.

Pastor Bethany walks us through different people who had been martyred for their faith. How there are environments in history that creates a desperation for Him. But we don't need to wait for these intense environments. We can desperately cry out to God now. Victories are found in the desperation for Holy Spirit and a dependency on His Spirit that unlocks the flood gates of victory.

The enemy will use the unresolved injustice in your life to hold you down. Amos 9:14-15

Where Satan causes havoc God gives the appointed. Any city that is built by man is not of God. Reading from the story of Cain and Able in Genesis 4:1-15, Pastor Chase shows us how we can find out selves in a routine that takes us away from God. And challenges us to fin the rhythm God wants for us.

John 4:1-20 - The Woman at the Well In this story we meet a woman who has been married 5 times. She was shacking up with a man that was her 6th and now she is meeting her 7th. There are three things about this story that we can pull about her meeting with Jesus (the Seventh Man). - He Chose Her - He Challenges Her - He Changes Her

Rhythm is important to a life of worship. We have to be the catalysts to allow the Holy Spirit to come and shock us back into rhythm. From Acts 2:40-47, Pastor Jay pulls out 4 points for getting back to the Rhythm. 1. Gladness was front door of their rhythm 2. Had a together lifestyle with Jesus at the Center Rhythm 3. Rhythm of miracles 4. Rhythm based on the concept of an open circle

Haggai 2:6-9 Shake the Nations is about understanding that the church has to get back to not just pursuing the questions of the day, but standing and abiding in the answer that is found in God's Word. Before the Lord shakes the nations, God shakes the church. He challenges us on what we're standing upon. Because when God begins the desire to shake a nation again, he looks to the house of God and s...

Did you know we are the sent people of God? Then why do we drift? Mission Drift unfolds slowly. Like a current, it carries organizations away from their core purpose and identity. In Matthew 9:35-38, Jesus gives us four timeless truths to keep us on course for Mission. 1. Evangelism and discipleship were Jesus' priority (v35) 2. Compassion was Jesus impulse (v35) 3. A lack of workers was His conce...

We can declare Open Heaven wherever our feet touch. We are to actively walk in the authority that changes atmospheres and cultures. In Luke 10:1-7, Jesus outlines instructions to the 70 he sent out. 1. Your intimacy with Jesus will determine the outcome. (v1 Before His Face) 2. People are the chosen vehicle for the advancement of the gospel. (v2 Send forth laborers) 3. Lay down any weight that ent...

In Part 9 of Open Heaven, Pastor Jay drew parallels between the church of Samson and the church of Stephen in Acts 2. Judges 16:6 (ESV), Delilah is asking Samson: Tell me where your great strength lies, and how you might be bound, that one can subdue you. Samson was: 1. Seduced: The allure of the world took Samson's eyes off his source. 2. Sourced: A sensual spirit found Samson's strength was tied...

Stephen was fed up with up with religion, not because he was fed up with the religious, but because he was fed up with the enemy holding the religious in the stronghold of religion. Religion is the greatest enemy for revival. And it won't be until we are fed up, and filled up that we get fired up!

Stephen did 3 important things that united Heaven and Earth. 1. Declared God is good, even when life is bad 2. His eternal perspective, allowed him to forgive those who did the unforgivable 3. His enemies became his mission field Independence was only a dream until it was declared, fought for and stood on.

In Acts 7:49, Stephen quotes a direct question from Isaiah, "what house will you build for me?" Stephen opens a new season of decision to the church. No longer will the priests be mediators, we now have Jesus, and because of this direct connection: we are provided a clear question. "What house will you build?" Looking at the scripture in Isaiah, the Lord identifies the kind of people the God looks...

One of the greatest tests of character is how you handle opposition. Opposition is a part of God's will for your life; it prepares you for the opportunities ahead. "There is a real opportunity here for great and worthwhile work, even though there are many opponents." (1 Corinthians 16:9 GNT) The enemy is going to throw every kind of opponent at you to cause you to live your life in opposition. Eve...
