A message from the series “The Pursuit of Substance.” In 1 Peter:22-2:8, Peter talks about three important Kingdom precepts.
1. The Sure Foundation
2. Community Destroying Vices (The Fateful Five)
3. Living Stones

Community destroying vices (The Fateful Five) are often tolerated by the church and left to steep between the members of the church and they are destroying communities because they have not been called out.

A message from the series “2024 Sunday Specials.” “Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”  Eph 6:13

When you take a stand for something you will have people who agree and disagree. People who like you and people who hate you, but it is impossible to take a stand for something and please everyone. When Christ came into the world, he drew a line. Not a line to cross or a line to avoid, but a line to stand upon.

We stand up for Jesus by:
1. Being Different
2. Removing the Excuses
3. Showing the Father

A message from the series “The Pursuit of Substance.” The world will fan the flame of victimhood. The word of God will fan the flame of victory, through forgiveness, sanctification, and maturity. 1 Peter 1:2 states in comes through the sanctifying work of the Spirit.

1 Peter never talks about how to become a victim, but how to faithfully endure and flourish in all seasons. We have been given “a new birth into a living hope.” (1 Peter 1:3) A new perspective that is incompatible with past perspectives.

A message from the series “The Pursuit of Substance.” Persecution & suffering are a part of the process, but God promises us a light in the tunnel, not just at the end of the tunnel.

This is part 1 of the series on the Book of 1 Peter. Be introduced to Peter as a man that experienced and witnessed many things yet wrote nothing about his experiences, but on substance that we can apply to our lives today. How we can prepare for the suffering that produces the advancement of the Kingdom in and through us.

A message from the series “2024 Sunday Specials.” Worry strangles us. Trust in the Lord strengthens us.

The Truth about Trusting:
1. Be Confident in God’s Care (Proverbs 3:5)
2. Be Committed to God’s Purpose (Proverbs 3:6)
3. Be Controlled By God’s Will (Proverbs 3:6)

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

A message from the series “Legacy.” 1 Chronicles 28:19: “All this,” David said, “I have in writing as a result of the Lord’s hand on me, and he enabled me to understand all the details of the plan.”

David’s detailed plans on the temple were a direct result of God’s hand on his life. He wasn’t just a man after God’s own heart, he was a man after God’s own mind. He didn’t just have God’s heart, he had God’s strategy. David didn’t just have the plan, he was skilled and knew what it was going to take to build the plan.

The Legacy Project combines our faith filled history and our here and now, while developing plans for a promising future.

Psalm 145:4 (MSG)
Generation after generation stands in awe of our work; each one tells the stories of your mighty acts.

A message from the series “Weapons of Our Warfare.” Matthew 6:21: For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

What we do with our finances or treasures reveals what is inside our heart. Where we put our resources (including time, gifts and talents) is what we chase.

John 12:1-8
The story of Mary anointing Jesus’ feet with oil shows Supernatural Generosity. The weapon God uses often times to change the aroma or the atmosphere in a room (perspective) is that of generosity. Generosity unlocks the atmosphere changing properties in the space around you.

Generosity doesn’t just impact those around you, but it builds upon those that have gone before you and extends to those that will come behind you.

A message from the series “Weapons of Our Warfare.” How can the process of life (testings, trials, victories, and lessons) become a weapon in God’s hand?

Kingdom Principle:
The prayer of commitment will take you through the process to become the product of God.

Prayer. Process. Product.

You have a choice with the prayer of commitment to Jesus, you don’t have a choice about the process. All God’s children go through the process. There is no avoiding the process.

The process of God will never cause you to face a temptation that He will not give you strength to say no to.
The process of God will never cause you to face a dream that He will not give you the strength to say yes too.

Say yes to the prayer!
Say yes to the process!
Say yes to become the product!

A message from the series “Weapons of Our Warfare.” 2 Corinthians 1-:3-7

We are called to use spirit lead weapons to fight spiritual battles. Not wage our wars according to the flesh. But what does that mean?

And how does our obedience act as a weapon of our warfare?

Goal of the weapons of our warfare is to take our thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ. We need a kind of faith and obedience that moves mountains and not a kind of faith and disobedience where mountains move us. Deep knowledge is not the same as deep obedience.

A message from the series “Weapons of Our Warfare.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-7
We are called to use spirit lead weapons to fight spiritual battles. Not wage our wars according to the flesh. But what does that mean?

And how does our Faith act as a weapon of our warfare?

Faithfulness is not just survival, it is doubling the gifts God has given you.
