Jesus people are blessed to know the joy found only in Jesus.

The great desire of so many who seek after God is to have His power work in and through them. What is often misunderstood is that according to Jesus a secure position in Him is greater than any miracle He would work in or through you.

Jesus planted His church with the vision and intention that we never stop bringing Him glory by loving one another and making disciples. Our church is still moving forward in that call. What is your part? How is He using you to accomplish His mission?

A life that follows Jesus for real will set out to be truly like Jesus in every area of life. It will be a life that is prioritized after Jesus and not before.

The Gospel is everything.

There should be no competition for greatness in Jesus' church... Jesus people demonstrate their love for God by putting the people next to them in front of them. All for His glory.

We all want "mountain top" experiences with Jesus, and we should. But we should also know that most of life is lived in the valley where hurt, pain, and struggle is common. Both the mountain and the valley are necessary for life in Christ. On the mountain if we are paying proper attention we gain the “spiritual eyes and muscles” that we need to see like God sees and work and live fully alive in th...

God (YAHWEH) is proving Himself to be Jesus.

Integrating your life with Jesus changes everything.

Our job is to take the transforming power of the Gospel to those in need and let God do the work.

We are not here to make the world a better place, We are not here to show the world we are better than this place. We're here to make it easier for people to know Jesus and to lead them into growing relationship with Jesus. To go and make disciples of Jesus Christ.

The value of a person is determined not by our own perception, measurements, background or any other way the world measures it but is determined by God.

Authority in your life is either given or taken, the choice really is up to you… Jesus already has authority over all life but it is up to you to give Him Lordship of and in your life. Either you give it to Jesus or it’s taken by the enemy of your soul.

Point: There are so many debates on who should be “allowed” to lead in and from the church and we can lose all kinds of time discussing and debating over it. There is a much easier way, look at Jesus then look in the mirror and ask the question, “What will it take for me to be a leader worth following?”. Answer the question and then lead.
