Catch the message "12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Come Clean" by Pastor Ben Stapley.
It’s one thing to see things clearly. We can still keep it to ourselves. But true freedom comes from saying it out loud. This external confession is an act of trust in God and others and gives us the courage and power to move forward in our journey.
Catch the message 12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Face The Music by Pastor Scott Jones.
It’s hard to look in the mirror and see what is wrong with us. Most of us prefer to live in denial. But when we invite God to shine the light of his truth into our lives, though painful, it will lead to clarity and freedom.
Catch the message 12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Turn It Over by Pastor Scott Jones.
We all love control. We want to be God. But that job is taken. As long as we try to be in control of our lives, we will fail miserably. But when we surrender to him, our good God will lead and guide us toward health and change.
Catch the message 12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Reach Up by Pastor Mark Avery.
We need something, Someone who is able to do what we cannot do. That Power, that Someone is Jesus. He alone can free us from sin and make us whole. Calling on him to save and deliver us is the only way to be changed.
Catch the message 12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Admit It by Pastor Scott Jones.
We have a problem. It’s called sin. It’s the root of our brokenness. We have to come to a point where we admit that we can’t fix things on our own. We’ve tried and failed.
Catch the message Rescue Story by Pastor Scott Jones.
We were once living in darkness and under the control of Satan. But when we say “Yes” to Jesus, he rescues us and transfers us from the Kingdom of Darkness into the Kingdom of Light.
Catch the message Sharpened: An Apprentice To Invest In by Pastor Ben Stapley!
A Timothy is someone behind you who needs your guidance. Someone you can encourage, teach and disciple as they grow. God shapes your faith not only through who mentors you, but also through who you mentor. Pouring into others keeps your faith alive and growing.
Catch the message Sharpened: A Friend To Journey With by Pastor Ben Stapley!
A Barnabas is someone God places beside you to walk through life. These are the friends who speak courage into our calling and hold us up when life gets heavy. These are the friends that support and believe in you even when others don’t.
Catch the message Sharpened: A Mentor To Learn From by Pastor Ben Stapley!
A Paul is someone who’s ahead of you spiritually. Someone who challenges you, teaches you and helps you grow. God sharpens your life through the wisdom, challenge, and example of a mentor. These types of friendships help you see what’s possible and guides you through growth.
Catch the message Supernatural: Supernatural Strength by Pastor Scott Jones.
The New Testament is full of commands to be obeyed, sins to be avoided, and examples to follow. But where are we to find the power to do all that God expects of us? We need look no further than the clear evidence of transformation that we see in the disciples who went from timid men who ran from trouble to fearless followers who were willing to pa...
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 And 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 generation ...
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...
