Jesus has invited us to feast in his presence; how could we not come? There is more room at his table; how dare we come alone?

It doesn’t matter where you sit when you know where you stand with God.

A dream without a TO DO LIST is a WISH LIST.

Our past haunts us and hunts us. The labels define us, the failures disqualify us, and the hurts paralyze us. But God says that the old is gone and the new has come. No label is too sticky for grace, no failure is too far for grace, and no hurt is too deep for grace.

Many of us embrace the idea that in order to get the approval of God or others we must try harder. But trying harder doesn't get us ahead but gets us stuck. Jesus' solution isn't "try harder" but "come closer."

"God will never give you more than you can handle." We often use these words to give comfort to others and confidence in ourselves. But did God really say that? Faith isn't the assurance that everything will be okay; faith is the assurance that God is in control.

God calls us to live ON mission, but he also equips us to fight FOR that mission. Ephesians 6 shows us who were battling, what we’re battling for, and how we go about winning daily battles in our life.

Jesus declared he was the way, the truth, and the life. Truth is not ultimately found in a list of statements but in a person. The experience of truth is not ultimately realized by following rules but forming a relationship. Truth is not restricting but liberating.

One Lord, one God, one heart, one mind, one mission! The power of one!

The church is not a building, not a place, not a space, not a theater, not a house, not an address. Unless that address is where you are!

Our whole life we are peppered with pursuing our purpose. As kids we are asked, “What are you going to do when you grow up?” As adults, we are constantly in search of feeling the highest level of fulfillment through our jobs. But this is an eternal search that is never fulfilled until we can find proper understanding of who we are. Pastor Joel & Nina tag team to talk about the power of being chosen, adopted, predestined, and purposed for the glory of God. It is only in stepping out of selfish ambition and into eternal purposes that we find the essence of God’s purpose over our lives.

Light brings Life. By your presence you bring life.

The Spirit of God is on us and in us. And He sees incredible value in our lives, so much so that He has empowered us to experience His goodness and then to pull out flavor within our world. In the 1st part of this series we unpack Jesus call to be the salt of the earth in Matthew 5. Every person is uniquely and wonderfully made, so our job is to pull out what God has already placed within every person.

God wants to do more through you than what anyone can do TO you.

How God took a broken life and put it back together.

You need to be a single-whole person! 3 thing I wish someone had taught me before I got married

A child can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the amount of apples in a seed.

Life isn’t measured in minutes. It’s measured in moments.

Make a friend. Take ‘em with you.

All of God's promises were paid for at Calvary. The cross is our claim ticket.
