FAITH.
Without a cause to fight for, we will find the wrong things to fight against. God wants to fight for us and He wants to fight thru us. Be courageous in the face of opposition and commit to stay spiritually fit.
www.localcity.church
FAITH.
The greatest test of faith is to be able to bless the Lord when everything goes wrong. Faith is when we abandon all self-reliance and place total dependence on God. Each day we have the choice to live in faith or to live in fear.
www.localcity.church
GALATIANS: WE ARE FREE.
There are myths of joy and there are gifts of joy. Christian joy is a deep, abiding joy that comes from a relationship with God, not solely from external circumstances. It is a joy present at all times!
www.localcity.church
GALATIANS: WE ARE FREE.
We are saved not by works, but we are saved for works. Jesus has set us free and now we daily surrender to the Holy Spirit as he produces new things in each of us. In our lives, there should be evidence that Jesus has changed our life!
www.localcity.church
GALATIANS: WE ARE FREE.
Jesus took our place and out us in His Place. The Book of Galatians reminds us that God is wanting to daily remind us of the FREEDOM we have in Jesus. Not because of anything we have done, but because of what Jesus did.
www.localcity.church
GALATIANS: WE ARE FREE.
Freedom starts with a sweeter mindset and a pray first posture. God's revelation and my obedience create space for incredible transformation and testimony.

Our conversations with God, ourselves, and our friends influence our thoughts, therefore our conversations must remain centered in God's truths and promises.

One interaction with Jesus can change our life! Never let rejection, unbelief or shame keep you from having a real encounter with Jesus. Once you talk with Jesus, you can't help but talk about Him to other!

EXHAUSTED WITH LIFE
The daily decision is declaring that our security is in God alone. Trusting in anything other than God leads to a stressful life, filled with disappointment. No matter what, God is always working it out for the good.
www.localcity.church
EXHAUSTED WITH LIFE
People have enough to live by but nothing to live for; they have the means but no meaning. Depression happens when we wear ourselves out, shut people out and forget God. God has given us specific ways to step out of depression in our lives when we live fully surrendered and fully sent.

PSALM 23
Everything good in our life comes from the loving hands of God. If you belong to the Good Shepherd, God’s goodness and mercy are always chasing after you to bring you closer to Him. Surely the God's unfailing love and mercy will follow me all the days of my life!
www.localcity.church
PSALM 23
If we refuse to follow Him and receive from Jesus, we cannot truly give Him thanks. Striving conceals God. Gratitude magnifies Him. Give thanks to the Lord because He is good.
www.localcity.church
PSALM 23.
The Good Shepherd walks with me. Your testimony demonstrates God's power. Your testimony shows people that God is in the business of doing it again and again and again.
www.localcity.church
PSALM 23.
No matter the season. No matter the person. And no matter the circumstance, God can RESTORE you. When we are restored, we are returned back to our original state. By experiencing the love of God and being reminded of the promises of Jesus, our soul is restored!
www.localcity.church
PSALM 23
Our soul finds rest in God alone. This Psalm, written by David, provides encouragement to readers by reminding us to put our hope and trust in a loving God who gives us REST. Sometimes the greatest thing God does for us is to make us lie down!
www.localcity.church
PSALM 23
Psalm 23 was written by King David, drawing on his experience as a shepherd to express the idea that God cares for his people like a shepherd cares for his sheep. Jesus is our Good Shepherd. He always protects, guides, provides and pursues!

Our life should be so attractive to people who know us but don't know God, that they will want to know God because they know us. My opportunity in the family of God is to invite others to join us!

When we adopt this truth and abide in God’s Word, our lives will be changed! If the enemy cannot destroy us with bad things, he’ll distract us with good things and keep us from the best thing. The best thing is knowing God.

www.localcity.church
WHY CHRISTIANITY IS GOOD FOR THE WORLD.
Christianity gives me hope when things don’t work out the way I expect them to, and peace to trust that God knows what He’s doing. Christianity makes sense of my struggles and brokenness, but doesn’t leave me to deal with them on my own.
www.localcity.church
OUR HOPE HAS A NAME.
What is one of the most important questions Jesus asks us? Progress of any kind, in any area of your life, will require effort. We are wired to see others' success while focusing on our clear failures. God does what He can as you do what He asked.
www.localcity.church
OUR HOPE HAS A NAME.
The only way to get rid of your past is to make a future out of it. God will waste nothing. Jesus will always show up in our life when we need him the most. There won't be a day God is not by our side!
www.localcity.church
OUR HOPE HAS A NAME.
Jesus has invited us to step our of the crowd and into relationship with Him. He knows our name and wants to hear our story! The greatest truth we can rest on is that there is always hope because hope has a name and that name is Jesus!
www.localcity.church
CHANGE YOUR MIND. CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
Every day, we make 30,000 choices, shaping our lives decision by decision. Living victoriously begins and ends with Jesus. And with Jesus, victory only comes in surrender. Make the daily decision of victory in Jesus!
www.localcity.church
CHANGE YOUR MIND. CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
The New Testament authors were committed to reminding their faith communities about who they were in Christ AND what that meant they should do. How can we keep in step with the Holy Spirit in daily actions we take.
www.localcity.church
CHANGE YOUR MIND. CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
What we worry about the most reveals where we trust God the least. It's not about a solution to all our problems; it's about giving our life to something bigger than our problems. There is a God-Dream inside all of us!
www.localcity.church
CHANGE YOUR MIND. CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
Our life is always moving in the direction of our strongest thoughts. The life we live is always a reflection of what we think. You cannot have a positive life with a negative mind. God wants to renew our mind today!

7 DAYS OF PRAYER.
You have to put yourself in the right environment for the best version of you to happen. God has created us for significance not just survival. We all need to a clear and strong WHY. To know God and enjoy Him forever!
www.localcity.church
7 DAYS OF PRAYER.
Our goal in prayer is not ultimately to get things from God. Our goal in prayer is ultimately to know, love, and enjoy God. In fasting, what we are saying is that more than we enjoy food, we enjoy God. God delights in revealing Himself to those who seek Him.

DANIEL: HOPE IN EXILE
Standing firm has the power to set you free and reveal Jesus to the people around us. Whatever we may ber going thru, the God we serve is able to deliver us. You are blessed because the Spirit of God rests on you.
www.localcity.church
DANIEL: HOPE IN EXILE
Often we find ourselves so busy and our world so loud, that we realize we aren't hearing from God. Are you living your life with a sense of purpose and urgency? The Lord holds the future in His hands.
www.localcity.church
DANIEL: HOPE IN EXILE
My sanity is restored when I walk in humility and exalt God above all else. The greatest spiritual discipline we can have is to lower ourselves and elevate God in our life. Surrendering to the truth that Jesus is the peace that passes all understanding.
www.localcity.church
DANIEL: HOPE IN EXILE
When culture shifts, we need to know who we are, reaffirm our convictions, and respond with love. We can do this by learning to live in the tension between truth and grace. Daniel teaches us how to STAND FIRM and LOVE WELL in a culture of compromise.
www.localcity.church
LOCAL CITY CHURCH
Simple acts of selfless love can open hearts to Jesus, and together we can make a difference. Our hope is that serving others becomes our focus. Jesus went around doing good, healing people, and abiding in the presence of God.
www.localcity.church
FALLING IN LOVE WITH GOD'S WORD AGAIN.
Discipline is the bridge that gets you from where you are to where you want to be. A lack of discipline results from a lack of knowing what you want in life. A daily habit of time in God’s Word often starts as a discipline but in time it becomes a desire.
www.localcity.church
A FATHER TO THE FATHERLESS.
What comes into our minds when we THINK about God is the most IMPORTANT thing about us. The way God designed our relationship with Him is like a father to his child. That God the Father has made himself God our Father means that he is personally, emotionally, and even sacrificially involved with us.
www.localcity.church
EASY LIKE SUNDAY MORNING.
God waits for us every new morning. To simply make space for time with Him. This is where He speaks to us. It sets me up for a change and protects my heart. Focus on Jesus when everyone is pulling my attention elsewhere.
www.localcity.church
HOW TO LIVE THE CHRISTIAN LIFE.
The TRUTH of the Gospel is so powerful that it produces new kinds of people. The book of Titus reminds us that our BELIEFS about God IMPACT every decision we make. Nothing is more significant than a solid FOUNDATION in Christ.
www.localcity.church
SHAME OFF YOU.
When we said yes to Jesus, we said yes to a lifelong process of BECOMING something more. The filled life of Jesus is about taking OFF the old and putting ON the new. When we fully understand what Jesus has done for us, passion is the only RESPONSE.
www.localcity.church
SHAME OFF YOU.
Most of the time our biggest problem isn’t our problem, but our mindset towards the problem. Only God can transform your life, but only you can manage your thoughts. Today, be transformed by changing the way you think.
www.localcity.church
SHAME OFF YOU.
We often carry the weight of our past and pains that we were never meant to carry. No matter how stuck we may feel, God wants us to know - there is always a way out. If we never show our weakness, we can never know God's strength!
www.localcity.church
SHAME OFF YOU.
We have a God that never stops seeking and searching for us. The first resulting emotion from sin was shame. A 'shame off you' truth requires a 'here I am' response. God simply wants us to know that He sees us!
www.localcity.church
STORIES JESUS TOLD.
Is there a next step that you’ve been called to take that you’re avoiding? Is there anything you own, that you refuse to acknowledge actually owns you? Are there priorities you’ve set, that you’ve declined to revisit with the Holy Spirit?
www.localcity.church
STORIES JESUS TOLD.
The Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven are committed to valuing people the way God does. We in the Kingdom of Heaven forgive based on what’s been done FOR us, not what’s been done TO us.
www.localcity.church
STORIES JESUS TOLD.
Jesus taught the truth so that we would have a rock to stand on in a world of quicksand. Healthy foundations are built on a plan and instructions. TRUSTING and OBEYING Jesus always leads to STEADY and UNSHAKEN in any storm.
www.localcity.church
STORIES JESUS TOLD.
Like the prodigal son’s father, God wants us to come to Him, seek His help, and allow Him to restore us. Today, let’s discover how we can find our way out of the mess, and into the full life God has for us.

EASTER SUNDAY 2024
What is the GOOD NEWS? The grave is EMPTY and Jesus is ALIVE. At the name of Jesus, salvation was secured. Sin was Severed. Satan was shut up. A seat was Saved. Because He lives, we live! www.localcity.church
I'VE WITNESSED IT.
A miracle is when God does something only God can do. But what does every miracle need? Understand that God always has a plan for us. He wants us to live out our purpose of trusting Him in all circumstances!
www.localcity.church
I'VE WITNESSED IT.
I want to see God use me in a greater way in this season of my life than all the preceding years. My greatest fear is that I would somehow miss out on how God could use me now because I pulled back or retreated. I believe that Jesus came to set me free.
www.localcity.church
I'VE WITNESSED IT.
Peace isn’t the absence of trouble. Peace is the presence of God. Don’t let your circumstances speak louder than God’s Word. We are anchored in any storm when we understand the care of God and the character of God.
www.localcity.church
I'VE WITNESSED IT.
The miracle is in the pouring out. The first miracle of Jesus Christ’s public ministry – when Jesus turns water into wine – lays the foundation for all his other miracles. Jesus has the ability to help!
www.localcity.church
LOVE COMES FROM GOD.
Realize that you are just as complicated as the people you complain about. Copy & Paste God’s pattern for dealing with complicated people. If you find fault with someone, release the same gift of God's forgiveness to them.
www.localcity.church
LOVE COMES FROM GOD
Stewardship is being responsible for the things that God has given us. To be faithful stewards, we are called to glorify him, serve the common good, and further His Kingdom. The difference between where we are and where God is leading us is what we're willing to do!
www.localcity.church
LOVE COMES FROM GOD.
We must go to God for forgiveness, but we have to go to God’s people for healing. . When we get close to people, we let them into our lives, have accountability, and can open up about the areas in our lives that need healing.
www.localcity.church
LOVE COMES FROM GOD.
To know what real love is, we have to go to the source. Before anything, we have to see God the right way and allow him to heal our heart. The matters of our heart always determine the moment of our lives.

Christmas shows us that God really is for us.It truly is good news of great joy. The answer to whatever need you may have was found in the manger when the Son of God was born unto us!
www.localcity.church
THE THRILL OF HOPE.

www.localcity.church
THE THRILL OF HOPE.
The importance of waiting is realizing there is a SUDDENLY right around the corner. Embrace where God has you and what He’s entrusted you with. Choose His Word over your worries and embrace a patient perspective.

OVERFLOW: Living More Than Enough.
There is a tremendous promise from God that when we plant ourselves in His House we will flourish. The presence of God grows us, challenges us and ultimately changes us! When we build God's Church; He builds our lives.
www.localcity.church
OVERFLOW.
We will lead the way with irrational generosity, because we truly believe it’s more blessed to give than to receive. No life of faith can be lived privately. There must be overflow into the lives of others.
www.localcity.church
WHY WE BELIEVE WHAT WE BELIEVE.
I believe in the Church. We believe the church isn’t a building—it’s PEOPLE. And when each of those people knows who they are and what they believe, they can achieve incredible things TOGETHER.
www.localcity.church
WHY WE BELIEVE WHAT WE BELIEVE
I believe in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit matters because He is God living in us! You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. When we surrender our lives to the Holy Spirit, we can live the full life Jesus gives us.
www.localcity.church
WHY WE BELIEVE WHAT WE BELIEVE
Resurrection is the belief that saves us. Jesus coming back to life doesn’t just save our souls to heaven, but our lives on earth. Resurrection replaces death as the final word. Because Jesus lives, you also live!
www.localcity.church
WHY WE BELIEVE WHAT WE BELIEVE.
Our confidence is we know who Jesus is and where He came from. Don’t outsmart yourself, He is who you think He is. His ancestry gives legitimacy to his identity, and His identity establishes His authority. His authority gives Him the right to issue commands and support those under his charge.
www.localcity.church
WHY WE BELIEVE WHAT WE BELIEVE.
What you believe matters because belief determines behavior. God is our Almighty Creator and our Almighty Father. We are attached to something way bigger than ourselves. There is actually a very specific way to believe in God and follow Jesus.
www.localcity.church
BETTER CHOICES. BETTER LIFE.
My decisions won't be based on WHAT I FEEL in the moment, but on WHO I WANT TO BE for the rest of my life. The devil is coming for you and you are not as strong as you think. Move the line. Magnify the cost. Plan your escape. Jesus has given you the victory!
www.localcity.church
BETTER CHOICES. BETTER LIFE.
I will seek first the One who matters most. When you want assurance, look to the wounds of Jesus. They are evidence of His love, of His sacrifice, of His victory, of His resurrection. The best choice: get close to God and always cling to Jesus!
www.localcity.church
BETTER CHOICES. BETTER LIFE.
Why do we struggle to make good choices? The quality of your choices determines the quality of your life. When your values are clear, your decisions are easier. Obedience is MY responsibility, the OUTCOME is God's. Decide now what you will do later!
www.localcity.church
BETTER CHOICES
This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as bigger than yourself. The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Here are 7 things every harvester does.
www.localcity.church
DEEP DIVE
A deep dive life is a good steward of what God has given them. Just because our relationship with God is not a result of our works; that does not mean our life in God is absent of work. The harvest is plentiful! But the workers are few.
www.localcity.church
DEEP DIVE
The world can't hurt someone who has the hope of Heaven! The deep dive life knows worship is the most valuable thing we do. God is looking for worshippers! So let's talk what that looks like for us.

A deep dive life trust God's Word and walks in it. The Bible has one author. The subject of the Bible is Jesus. The verb of the Bible is give. It has life-changing power! Together we can love it, learn it and live it.
www.localcity.church
DEEP DIVE
How do I go deeper in my faith? A deep dive life is lived with God and for God. The first step in going deeper in our relationship with Jesus is to understand there is always more to see and more to know. Seekers see, stay and stand!

DEUTERONOMY: CHOOSE THE GOOD LIFE
Not everyone pictures a relationship with God as being good. But it is the key to the good life! God made you initially for the purpose of loving Him, and being loved by Him. He made you for that relationship with Him.

DEUTERONOMY: CHOOSE THE GOOD LIFE
The good life is a life gifted and sustained by the real source. There is nothing more effective in our life than daily, intentional faithfulness to God’s Word. God will always care for you and provide for you!

DEUTERONOMY: CHOOSE THE GOOD LIFE
Expectation moves us to pray for great things from God. The good life is the one lived with a God-Expectancy. Our life is a gift from God and a gift to others.
www.localcity.church
DEUTERONOMY: CHOOSE THE GOOD LIFE
The good life is the surrendered life. In order to cling to God, you have to let go of whatever you are holding onto. If Jesus is not Lord of all in our life, He is not Lord at all in our life. Daily surrender leads to long-term victory!
www.localcity.church
DEUTERONOMY: CHOOSE THE GOOD LIFE
The good life is the God-led life. God goes ahead of you. God fights for you. And God cares for you all along the way. No matter where we find ourselves in life right now; the God has been with you. And because of that we have everything we need.

If you give in to your circumstances and let it define your narrative, your life may turn out very different than if you had just believed God in the first place. If you have listened to others and allowed them to categorize you, you are in danger of missing out on sitting at the feet of Jesus.

www.localcity.church
STEPPING INTO VICTORY
Fear is not the opposite for faith; it is the very occasion where faith can thrive. The most frequently used commandment throughout the entire Bible is “FEAR NOT." Fear always deters you from God's best! It's time to starve our fears and feed our faith.
www.localcity.church
STEPPING INTO VICTORY
Don’t make permanent decisions based on temporary emotions. Your emotions are valid, but they're not permanent. And your situation may feel hopeless, but with God there is always hope!
www.localcity.church
STEPPING INTO VICTORY.
Upward thinking is not a replacement for God; it is a response to Him. Here's a trustworthy saying: choices lead and feelings follow. Negative thoughts can't lead to a positive life.
www.localcity.church
STEPPING INTO VICTORY
Your situation is not dead; it is just ASLEEP! All along God is just waiting for us to come to him and say “if you would just come and touch this situation; all can be restored.” This is good news!

GOD HAS A NAME.
Hope is the absolute expectation of the coming good based on the character of God. God is faithful, loyal and won't stop helping us until we are completely free! What God wants is a living, breathing people that will put HIS NAME on display.

GOD HAS A NAME.
Through Jesus, we're given the absolute example of who God is in the flesh. We follow him one day at a time, one step at a time, to slowly close the gap between who we are and who he is.
www.localcity.church
GOD HAS A NAME.
What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. It how you see God. It shapes the way we relate to Him. The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe.

AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE
People are desperate for someone to see them. The truth is many of us do not feel seen on a regular basis. It’s possible to be very connected, yet feel alone. Even though we face challenges and our world is turbulent, we have a God of promise, a God of love, and a God who is present with us.

One of the ways we can be most like Jesus is when we choose to live generously. We give God our first and our best then trust Him to bless the rest. Generosity and gratitude unlock the fullness of life God has for us.
www.localcity.church
AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
Something that will truly change our life is an attitude of gratitude! Generous people give to see the impossible become possible. Generous people give as a byproduct of their own personal transformation. God has truly been so good to us!
www.localcity.church
DON'T GIVE THE ENEMY A SEAT AT YOUR TABLE.
To let us know that God is with us in the middle of it. And also so other people can see and hear that God is with us. When God is enough in our life, people will ask "Who is at your table?".
www.localcity.church
DON'T GIVE THE ENEMY A SEAT AT YOUR TABLE.
God doesn't owe me anything. But yet He has given me everything. A sense of entitlement will keep us from fully knowing Jesus. God will always always always give grace to those who are humble.

DON'T GIVE THE ENEMY A SEAT AT YOUR TABLE
You don't have to fight your battles on your own. Since Jesus has the victory, you have access to that victory right now! Jesus has defeated it so you don't have to carry it anymore.

We have been treated generously, so we live generously! Go to the lost, confused people right here in the neighborhood. Tell them that the kingdom is here. Stay devoted. See people. Seize the opportunity that God places in front of you!

COLOSSIANS: JESUS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH

SPIRITUAL QUESTIONS
Why the Bible? Because God wants a relationship with His people. The Bible is God's self-revelation of who He is. It is a handheld miracle with life-changing power. Listen to the message from this Sunday!
www.localcity.church
What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. God is SOMEONE to know not just something to believe in. To know and be known by Him and to experience His love each day! We can never know who or what we are till we know at least something of WHO God is.
www.localcity.church
When I am weak, God is ALWAYS strong. Embrace Grace. Let God’s grace wow you! It’s one thing to believe He said it, it’s another to believe He meant it. When I let God into my situation, I let the pressure out of my situation. www.localcity.church
COME & SEE You are infinitely and eternally valuable to God! Why? Because you bear His image and share His nature. When you feel worthless, remember God always retains your value. His love for you is illogical, relentless and will never stop. www.localcity.church
COME & SEE Why do we wander? We wander and get lost usually when we want something, are afraid or just striving to be valued. God actually and actively searches for the lost. And it doesn't stop there. Jesus carries the lost home so they can be found and there is a celebration of joy! www.localcity.church
HOUSE OF PRAISE.
It is our first response, not our last resort. If there is one thing we should do on the regular, it is PRAY FIRST. Since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

HOUSE OF PRAISE
Every time we worship, we are reminded of who God is and who we are in Him. Worship is not just a Sunday act. It is a Lifestyle. In God’s presence, we experience everlasting peace. As we worship we fix our eyes on the author and finisher of our faith.

HOUSE OF PRAISE
Even when I can't take it, God is with me. Even when I can't feel it, God is worth it. Even when I can't see it, God is working. Worship is the strategy by which we interrupt our preoccupation with ourselves and attend to the powerful presence of God.
