Looking for a cure to anxiety? It's found in more than just knowledge of Jesus Christ, but a genuine encounter with Him.   ABOUT THE MESSAGE Have you ever felt the absolute internal turmoil that is caused whenever anxiety takes over your mind and spirit?

The songs we sing and the prayers we say don’t tell the full story of how close we are to God, our hearts do.   ABOUT THE MESSAGE Many times people look for God in the wrong places while neglecting the ancient paths that lead us to Him. God is Spirit, therefore, we have to see in the spirit to find Him more clearly. To fully worship God we must worship Him in spirit and in truth. We behold the Lor...

To only view life in the natural is to only see half of the world that we truly live in.   ABOUT THE MESSAGE The world that we live in is both spiritual and natural. To only focus on one of these elements of the world is to be naive and will have real consequences. Our enemy is not one who is flesh and blood, but he is one that works through spiritual forces. We cannot be ignorant of this or of th...

Do you truly and fully rely on God?   ABOUT THE MESSAGE So much of our culture revolves around the idea of being self-reliant. This idea is the opposite of how God intended for us to live and is at it's core a lack of belief in God. In reality there is no limit to God. Apart from Him we can do nothing, but with Him nothing is impossible. God has an incredible calling for our lives and wants us to...

The Name of God is the very description of who He is to the world.   ABOUT THE MESSAGE Scripture gives us perfect explanation of who Jesus is in the prophecy in Isaiah 9 that foretells of Jesus' birth. It says that He will be named, "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace." Join us for this beautiful Christmas Service as Pastor Mark Stermer looks more deeply into each of...

Love is the foundation that everything else must stand on.   ABOUT THE MESSAGE There are endless books, teachings, podcasts, and ideas on how to live a wonderful fulfilling life. All of these different things are simply experimentation and most of them don't work. We should look to the one who created us in order to find a far better way to live; and this way is through true love. We can execute e...

If we hold onto our idea of what life should look like we won't be healed or thrive in the life that we actually live.   ABOUT THE MESSAGE God has ordered steps for us to walk in this wonderful life He has for us.

Plan "B" is not better, and you are better off without one!   ABOUT THE MESSAGE Yahweh didn't have a plan "B" when He sent His son Jesus to die to save the world.

The key is having the courage and resolve to walk that path, no matter what difficulties it may bring. The path wi...

Few are called to die for Christ, but all are called to live for Him!   ABOUT THE MESSAGE What does it mean to be a living sacrifice? Sacrifice is a major part of scripture and our relationship with God. He is calling us to be living sacrifices for Him and His kingdom. The interesting thing about a living sacrifice is that it has the capability to wiggle off of the altar when things start to get p...

It’s not about money, it’s about your heart! Jesus didn't just come to give us life, but life more abundantly.   ABOUT THE MESSAGE God is not stingy and He wants us to enjoy the blessings of life. However, we are blessed by Him with a purpose as well. We are blessed to be a blessing to others and to support His kingdom.

Favor is for those who seek it, persistently.   ABOUT THE MESSAGE The promises and benefits of God for us are yes and amen. God has provided them and they are here for us. He wants our lives to be overflowing with these benefits. However, the key is that we have to ask, seek, and knock. It’s time to start knocking. Knock like your life depends on it. Knock like everything that you have been longin...

There is a difference between understanding that a benefit of God is true and understanding that it is true for you.   ABOUT THE MESSAGE The benefits of God are there for all of us, however we have to be intentional to tap into them.

Salvation is free, but it wasn't cheap.   ABOUT THE MESSAGE All throughout His life Jesus had to choose the cross over and over again. Our freedom was born out of His willingness to suffer greatly in obedience to The Father and His love for us.

True genuine relationship with Elohim is the foundation of Christianity.     ABOUT THE MESSAGE The major thing that Jesus accomplished on the cross was to bring us back into right relationship with our heavenly Father!

It's time that we unlearn what we know so that we can become completely dependent on God once again.   ABOUT THE MESSAGE Our culture is one that puts great importance on independence. However, this is not how the kingdom of God is intended to operate. We are designed to be completely dependent on God and the people that He places in our lives. Seeking independence from them only leads to a life th...

Every excuse that tries to justify division is a lie from the enemy.   ABOUT THE MESSAGE The enemy will try all that he can to oppose the things that are important to the heart of God. God’s heart is unity while the enemy’s goal is division. We have a choice to make in this. Will we partner with the devil and take up the role of accusing our brothers and sisters in our hearts or will we partner wi...
