Catch the message Supernatural: Supernatural Sensing by Pastor Mark Avery.
We all know what it is to feel an inner tug, a sense of conviction or compulsion that offers direction and re-direction. But how do we know when and if that “inner prompting” is from God or simply our own desires and wishes? In this message, we will see that God clearly has provided direction and guidance through the work of the Holy Spirit, and tha...
Catch the message Supernatural: Supernatural Salvation by Pastor Mark Avery!
The Holy Spirit is the principal agent in salvation. The Spirit is the one who convicts us of our sin and shows us our need for Jesus. He draws us to put our faith in Jesus, and it is his work of regeneration that gives us our spiritual birth. Without his work, we would remain spiritually dead. His work of conviction continues in the life of a bel...
Catch the message Supernatural: Supernatural Someone by Pastor Scott Jones!
There is confusion and a lack of clarity among many in the church throughout the centuries about the person of the Holy Spirit. We must learn to think clearly and biblically, for the Holy Spirit has much to teach us and to work within and through us. We must first be clear about the deity of the Spirit—that He is God. Further, he’s not an impersona...
Catch the message Showcase Showdown by Pastor Scott Jones!
Giving to God brings about powerful results in the lives of people and the life of God’s Kingdom. It starts from a heart of gratitude that leads us to be generous. Our giving inspires others to grow, moves us to a deeper spirituality, meets the needs of God’s people, and promotes the glory of God.
Catch the message "You’ve All Overbid" by Pastor Scott Jones!
When it comes to being a steward of God’s financial resources, there are always two parts: the desire and the follow-through. Most of us have good intentions. But we need something more than that. We need sound Biblical counsel that will guide us to find the freedom God wants us to have when it comes to our money.
Catch the The Actual Retail Price Is by Pastor Scott Jones!
When it comes to giving to God, he doesn’t want us to be motivated by fear or guilt. He does want us to be motivated to give, but it’s to come from a much healthier place. Percentages are a great guide, but God wants us to break through percentages to a heart of generosity. In this message, we will introduce the 90-Day Tithe Challenge.
Catch the message The Price Is Right: A New Car by Pastor Scott Jones.
We all have a tendency to compare ourselves to others, and often that leads to envy. That’s a trap that we want to avoid. Joy comes in contentment with what God has provided, not in an insatiable desire for more.
Catch the message Come On Down by Pastor Scott Jones.
This is the account of the “Rich Young Ruler” who was so attached to his money that it was an obstacle to following Jesus. Jesus sees money as a test of our devotion to him and warns us not to let it affect our relationship with God. He loves us too much not to tell us the truth.
Catch the message Break & Build: Built Different by Pastor Luke Mihail!
No matter your age, stage, or season of life, you’re building something with your faith — a life, a legacy, an influence that will outlive you. The question isn’t just what you’re building, but who you’re building it for. We are called to live in a way that looks different from the world and points others toward Jesus, especially the next generatio...
Catch the message Break And Build: Break The Cycle by Luke Mihail!
Many of us feel stuck in patterns we didn’t choose - habits, mindsets, or family dynamics that have followed us for years. But through God’s power, your story doesn't have to end where it started.God gives us the power to break destructive cycles and start a new legacy for those who come after us. Just because something has always been a certain way do...
Catch the interview with John Woodall and Pastor Scott Jones
Sometimes, God seems distant, uncaring, or inconsistent with his character. He is shrouded in mystery, and we want certainty. We will not always get the answers we seek or understand in this life. This message will be an invitation to trust God throughout our lives and give him the benefit of the doubt because of who he is.
Catch the message Doubting God: When Hell Seems Unfair by Pastor Scott Jones.
God’s love and eternal torment don’t make sense on the surface, and many people reject the God of the Bible because of it. This is rooted in a misunderstanding of the purpose of hell and the goodness of humanity. This message will compare heaven and hell and provide clarity on who chooses to go to hell and how to avoid it.
Catch the message Doubting God: When Your Prayers Go Unanswered by Pastor Scott Jones.
Who hasn’t wrestled with the question, “Why doesn’t God answer my prayers?” It can make us doubt if God is good if he is listening, and if he really cares. We will explore the purpose of prayer, and the reasons for unanswered prayer and invite people to trust him in the waiting.
Catch the message Doubting God: When One Way Seems Narrow by Pastor Scott Jones.
The exclusivity of Jesus as the only way to God has been a stumbling block for many years. In our post- Christian society, it seems narrow to say that all other religions are wrong. We will address the claim of Jesus and why God provided any way to him at all.
Catch the message Doubting God: When You’re Done Being A Christian by Pastor Scott Jones.
Some people let doubt lead them away from their faith. Many are leaving Christianity over doubts about their faith or questions they can’t seem to answer. This message will challenge people to do the work of wrestling with their doubts and false beliefs so that it will lead them to stick with their faith and grow deeper in their relationsh...
Catch the message Doubting God: The Doubts In Your Box by Pastor Scott Jones.
After the resurrection, at the ascension of Jesus, some worshipped him but some doubted. Thomas doubted that Jesus had risen from the dead. And it wasn’t until he saw him that he believed. Jesus met him in his doubt and called him to a deeper faith. This message will invite people to be honest about their doubts with an invitation to those who don’t k...
Catch the message Proof Of Life: Fully Confident by Pastor Scott Jones.
John concludes his letter with several remarkable statements about the kind of confidence that Jesus followers can experience. First, because of our identity in Jesus, we can know with assurance that we belong to God and have been given eternal life—a life not only infinite in quantity but abundant and full even now. Not only that, but we can also be confid...
Catch the message Proof Of Life: Victory Lap by Pastor Scott Jones.
People’s futures are at risk. But followers of Jesus are secure. Nothing can ever separate us from the love of God in Christ. Even further, we are told that we can be triumphant in the world we live in. The world may assault our faith, but it cannot rob us of our identity and destiny. But our greatest victory is not found in ourselves, it is found in groun...
Catch the message Proof Of Life: Seeing God by Pastor Scott Jones.
Many of us would readily admit that we don’t have it within ourselves to love others unconditionally, consistently, and sacrificially. John makes it clear that it comes to us from God Himself. God fills our hearts with love through the Holy Spirit. Since we have been given such an abundance of love from God, we pour that same love out on others. No one has ...
Catch the message Proof Of Life: False Prophets by Pastor Ben Stapley.
Some lies and theological errors are hard to spot. But the ultimate litmus test of the true gospel is the incarnation—that God became human in the person of Jesus. The Eternal Son becoming human, dying, and rising from the dead is essential to an accurate understating of the gospel. We’re called to be discerning around this theme and hold to the truth o...
