Struggling With Failure, Shame, or Regret? You're Not Alone. Have you ever felt like your past mistakes disqualify you from God's purpose? You're not the only one. Even King David—a man after God's own heart—fell into failure, temptation, and sin. He stayed behind when he should’ve gone to battle… and it led to adultery and murder. But that wasn’t the end of David’s story. In t...

In this message, we’re looking at the life of King David. His life was marked by experiencing God’s faithfulness. From shepherd to warrior to king, David saw God’s provision, protection, and grace every step of the way. And when he faced Goliath, he acted and spoke out in faith. Likewise, when we face giants in our lives, we can learn from David’s example and run at them with the same spirit of fa...

In this message, we look at the Story of Daniel, Shadrach,  Meshach, & Abednego. These men lived under immense cultural pressure to compromise their faith. Yet respectfully defiant, they honored God, and God showed up for them in miraculous ways. Likewise, we are pressured by culture or government to compromise our faith; we choose to honor God. We don’t bow to the cultural norms of society, b...

In this message, we look at another part of Moses’ life, leading the Israelites out of Egypt. In this part of scripture, we see the Egyptians pursuing Israel, attempting to reenslave them. And when Israel seemed to reach a dead end in their escape, God made a way! But, it required Moses to DO SOMETHING with what God had placed in Moses’ hand. Likewise, there is something God has placed in your han...

Moses is the most prominent figure in the Old Testament. From the Exodus of Egypt to leading Israel through the wilderness, Moses had a close relationship with God, and his story has many applications for us today. In this message, we discuss Moses' upbringing in Egypt and God's call to lead the people of Israel out of oppression and into freedom. Support the show

The story of Joseph has many modern-day applications. He was betrayed multiple times, even by family. Was unjustly accused and worked low-end jobs. Yet, through everything life threw his way, he maintained integrity, stayed faithful, and as a result, God promoted him time after time. God gave him wisdom, and Joseph flourished in the worst of circumstances. Just like Joseph, no matter what season o...

Abraham is known in scripture as the “Father of our Faith.” He was given promises by God for children, places to live, and abundance. And Abraham followed God’s direction even when it didn’t make sense. Support the show

But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 It’s apparent in Scripture that there is a “planting” aspect with our generosity. It’s not just kissing money goodbye, but there is a harvest (inc...

The world has a definition of generosity, but we say it like this: Generosity is having NO LIMITS. There is a life of abundance and radical generosity that God calls us to. And when we learn to lean into that Grace, God accelerates us in ways we couldn’t even imagine. Support the show

You do well and excel in every respect—in unstoppable faith, in powerful preaching, in revelation knowledge, in your passionate devotion, and in sharing the love we have shown to you. So make sure that you also excel in grace-filled generosity. (2 Corinthians 8:7 Passion) There is a grace that comes on and empowers us to live generously. Scripture says, “God gives seed to the sower.” In other word...

2 Corinthians 9:8 says, “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.” So, there’s a facet of the grace of God that launches us into a life of abundance and generosity. The question is, “How do we cooperate with that grace?” The first place we start is what God told us to do with the first. Su...

We are right with God because of the Blood of Jesus. It’s not a place we achieve, but a position with God we receive. Right standing with God is a gift. That doesn’t mean that sin doesn’t have consequences, but when we do sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus. And as we grow in our right relationship with God and mature, we begin to live a life with less sin in it. Support the show

Expunge | verb 1 - to strike out, obliterate, or mark for deletion 2 - to efface completely: destroy 3 - to eliminate from one's consciousness Through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, our sins are not just covered. God didn’t just sweep our past under the rug. He put all our sins on Jesus on the cross and removed them from our account. Because of that, we can live free from conde...

Salvation is when we come to the Lord, repent of our sins, and receive new life through Jesus. But, is there more to salvation than that? What if scripture said we were saved from more than hell? What if salvation is more than just “going to heaven?”  In this message, Pastor Cory dissects what all is entailed in this new life of salvation.  Support the show

Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. God made a covenant with humanity through Jesus. But… what exactly does that mean? What all is entailed in the work of redemption through Jesus? Is it more than just th...

In this message, we tackle a difficult passage in Hebrews 6 about people who lose their salvation. However, it’s probably not what you think or have traditionally been taught. Support the show

We serve the God who restores. He wants to restore every area of your life, more than repair it to its original condition, but into abundance! Support the show

Hebrews says Jesus is our High Priest after the order of Melchizedek... What does that even mean? We talk about that, and does God really send us storms to teach us lessons? Support the show

We’re not working to earn God’s rest. We’re resting in Him and out of the overflow, doing what He called us to do. God has a plan of abundant provision in every area of our lives, but are we following His instructions in how to walk in that? Support the show

God has promises for you to walk in. Salvation is not just about getting you into Heaven, but also about you enjoying Heaven on earth. But, some things can hinder us from experiencing God’s best for our lives. The book of Hebrews gives us some examples of how the Israelites missed out on things God had for them. And, they are recorded for us to learn from them and grow into the person God wants us...

Hebrews 2:3 says that it’s possible to neglect our great salvation. But what does that look like? How do we neglect our salvation and what does it look like to flourish in our salvation? Support the show

In the first message of this series, we talked about how we are heirs with Jesus in salvation. In this message, we talk about angels and how Hebrews call them ministers for those who are heirs of salvation. What does that look like? And are there benefits of angelic assistance that we haven’t accessed simply because of ignorance? Support the show

In the book of Hebrews, Paul reveals some powerful truths about Jesus. Support the show
