Renovation Church: Recent Episodes
Renovation Church
The power of Jesus does not only saves me, it meekness me to live the life Jesus has called me to live.
Happy are those who mourn! Jesus invites us into the emotion and realization of what it is to know mourning, sorrow, grief, pain, suffering, and from that place we can, not just find comfort, but know comfort!
We don’t realize how poor, how destitute we actually are and that’s the problem. We don’t realize what we are without Jesus! Destitute!
God has invited us on the journey of building his church, each of us doing our part, and that no matter how big or small that part might be, God uses each of us to accomplish something we could never do apart from one another!
The Sabbath is a day set aside to follow God's example, to stop and delight. The Sabbath has largely been forgotten by the church. It is not that we do not love God-we love deeply. We just do not know how to sit with God anymore.
Your picture of God will determine how you relate to God. The way you relate to God will determine your intimacy with God.
Faith is not belief in, it's trust in, Christianity isn't a belief system, it's a trust system.
How do we reach for the tree of life? I focus on my relationship with Jesus, more than my knowledge about Jesus.
Having a vision is having a want. What do you want? How does it all "work" with me...God..us?
Get alone with God and just talk with Him. Stop praying for God to...., instead start praying with God for... Prayer with God will change your focus, your view, and your priorities. With Gods help, you can change....
Your faith does not save you. Your faith is a means to an end. We are saved through faith, not because of faith.
Putting things in their proper place isn't as much about rules and regulations as much as it is about wisdom and integrity.
God can and will use our story despite our past, our bitterness, our shame, our guilt, our pain or suffering, in order to accomplish His plan.
We live in our purpose as we depend on Jesus. We live out our purpose as we point people to Jesus.
We are to communicate and demonstrate that God is FOR everyone and anyone who believes in Jesus, finds life, salvation, direction, and purpose! We live out our purpose through trusting in Jesus.
When I follow Jesus, He takes my inabilities and makes them abilities. He turns my doubts into dreams. He turns my pain into purpose, my set backs into setups, and my disappointments become divine appointments. That is what my shepherd does for me.
Jesus said his life was to be a light for you to see something that you are in desperate need of…Salvation- Direction- Purpose.
No matter what you are facing, you are not alone! You have the light that leads to life, victory, certainty, and hope. You have the light that overcomes anything and everything.
God fulfills my everyday needs, my daily needs, and my eternal needs. He is the all powerful great I AM.
We all need Jesus. When we invite Him into our mess, our marriage, our lives and submit to him, he can turn our mess into a miracle. God can turn your mess into a message of transformation!
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. Building your life on God’s word will change your life!
Jesus offers life and freedom. Through a relationship with God, we have the power not only to be set free but to live out the life changing power of Jesus through the Holy Spirit.
God wants to do something in you, so that he can do something supernatural through you, that will impact the world around you!
God has a specific plan and purpose for your life- make no mistake about it! Do things remain the same or is it time for change?
Jesus shows concern, commitment, and celebration For The One. You're never more like Jesus than when you serve the One, love the One, and give For The One.
The kingdom of worry brings dysfunction. The kingdom of faith brings blessing. Church, our devotion to generosity is an indicator of our faith. Generosity opens the blessing of heaven.
You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” 2 Corinthians 9:7 NLT
Jesus, through story telling, highlighted God’s PASSION to seek and save the lost. Jesus would not be diverted from his focus of reaching the one who is lost! Three memorable stories illustrate God’s priority, and all three accounts highlighted his purpose. In every narrative there was ONE that was LOST and ONE that was Found. The lostness of humanity is God’s greatest concern. Is lostness our greatest concern?
Pray, Prioritize, and Praise • Pray faithfully for the mission and vision of the church. Prioritize the advancement of the Kingdom of God. Praise God for who he is and his faithfulness in our lives.
The heart that submits to the will of God, is a life that experiences the blessings of God.
We determine what our kids will look back on. While we cannot determine their responses, but we can determine our examples. They will remember very little of what we say. They will forget very little about who we are and what we do.

A generation is abandoning faith because the church has signed God’s name to promises God never made.
Our walk and talk must be in harmony with one another. When Character, Conduct, and Conversations are all working together, it makes for a powerful witness!
Facing the giants in our daily lives requires us to live in the reality that we are called by God, filled with the Holy Spirit, to step toward our calling, to face our giants in faith and confidence in Jesus. That what often seems like a setback is a setup for something even Greater!
If we are waiting for what used to be, we would in fact miss out on what God wants us to accomplish today!
