Worship is a weapon, our secret weapon. It’s the way we fight spiritual battles, shift the atmosphere, and prophesy our praise.

Welcome Home, Part 2: Place of Worship - Dr. Mark Batterson

Our highest privilege and greatest responsibility is prayer. Prayer is the difference between the best WE CAN DO and the best GOD CAN DO, and that’s a big difference. Prayer is the way we WRITE HISTORY before it happens.

Unashamed, Part 2: Reframe Your Shame - Irene Rollins

Shame is a story you tell yourself about yourself. Like a news ticker that runs in the background of our minds, we have shame scripts that say: “I am unworthy, I am unlovable, I am not enough, I am a mistake.” God says you are His workmanship, fearfully and wonderfully made, the apple of His eye, more than a conqueror. If you want to change your life, you have change your story! You are who God says you are. To believe anything else is false humility.

God has prepared in advance opportunities for you to step into. He has and is opening up doors for you to live and share your faith. The question is this: Do you have something to give? Here’s where it starts…sharing and living your faith. Sharing your faith is giving an answer. Sharing your life is living an answer. Join us as we unpack 1 Thessalonians 2:8 and learn to fill our backpack to be able to bless those that God brings across our path.

Intentional, Part 3: What’s in your backpack? - Pastor Joel Schmidgall

Joel Schmidgall

Intentional faith starts with praying a simple prayer: God where are you at work and how can I be a part? But when our foot hits the floor, it’s time to activate and live out that of which God is making us aware. We go from praying a prayer, to living a prayer. Join us as we talk about developing a prayer state of mind, cultivating story, acting as witness, and calling out God’s image.

What would happen if you started your day with a simple prayer: God where are you at work and how can I be a part? It’s the difference between pursuing your own agenda or partnering with God’s plan. We don’t realize all that God is doing all around us, until through prayer, our eyes are opened. When we turn our attention to intention, annoying interruptions become divine interventions. Random interactions become relationship building opportunities. Join us as we talk through what it means to live out faith intentionally.

PATIENCE: tolerating delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset. A simple thought that is difficult to do. If you want to be a farmer, you better have patience. The act of farming is not limited to plants and land. We are farmers each day when we invest in those around us towards the harvest of their futures. A future of love, hope, joy, and all of the fruits of the spirit is made possible when we give sacrificially and patiently wait for the harvest of their lives. Having the patience to plant and wait for growth is what the world needs today.

Rule of Life, Part 6: Rule of Patience - Dr. Dick Foth

If you stay humble and stay hungry, there is nothing God cannot do in you or through you. Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less. How? By thinking of others more. By thinking of God more.

Rule of Life, Part 5: Rule of Humility - Dr. Mark Batterson

We are getting smarter and smarter, but I’m not sure we’re getting wiser and wiser. Our culture is polarized and politicized, fight or flight. If we ever needed wisdom, it’s now. The good news? Wisdom has a name. Jesus is wisdom with skin on it. Jesus is perfect theology! The Jesus Way is Third Way. It doesn’t compromise it’s convictions, but it always shows compassion.

Faith is as faith does! James 2 exhorts the reader that a true faith will be evident by the way one's life is lived. Our active faith is our testimony. It is the way we live our love that testifies to Christ! Faith that works is a faith...that works!

, Part : Rule Of Life: Freedom - Pastor Jimeka Jones Setzer

Let’s be honest. There’s just about nothing we want more than freedom! Whether it’s financial freedom, freedom from addictions, freedom within our workplaces, freedom to pursue our passions. Freedom is a desire in every direction. In James no nonsense, don’t pull any punches, direct way, he gives advice on how to achieve freedom. It comes through the Word of God planted within us. When we cultivate God’s Word and live it out on a daily basis, we become who God has made us to be. There’s nothing freer, than doing that which you were made to do! Join us as we journey into James 1:19-27 to unpack the Scripture.

We have RULES for everything. There are rules of the road, rules for the games we play, rule of law. Spiritually speaking, a RULE OF LIFE consists of core values, core beliefs, and core practices. It’s a CODE OF CONDUCT—rituals and routines, decisions and disciplines—by which we live our lives. This week we explore seven JOY RULES, and it starts with this—ENJOY THE JOURNEY.

Rule of Life, Part 1: Rule of Joy - Dr. Mark Batterson

Everybody is somebody’s disciple. Consciously or subconsciously, we pattern our lives after someone. As Christ followers, we have made a conscientious decision to live like Jesus, pray like Jesus, forgive like Jesus, love like Jesus. We are His hands, His feet. We are His workmanship. We are the manifold wisdom of God. Simply put, you are the genius of Jesus.

Joshua Symonette

When most people think of genius, I am sure their mind goes to outputs. We think about what someone produces. But what if most of what genius is has more to do with inputs; the things we don't see. I believe discipline, as an input over time, is a force multiplier. And when that discipline is focused on submitting to God, he takes care of the outputs, which is beyond what we could ever do on our own.

When you put what you have in your hand—five loaves and two fish—into the hands of God, 5 + 2 doesn’t equal 7 anymore. Add God to the equation, and 5 + 2 = 5000 R12.
