As we continue this month’s theme on the Word of God, we are reminded that God’s promises are not passive, they are powerful truths meant to be believed, declared, and lived out. His Word reveals His will for good things in our lives, but it is through faith and obedience that these promises are activated. When we choose to stand on His Word, we move from simply knowing His truth to experiencing His faithfulness firsthand. This week, Pastor Daniel Vander Klok shared how holding firm to God’s promises invites His power into our everyday lives. As we stand in faith, we align our hearts with His goodness and open the door for His purposes to unfold. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
As we continue this month’s topic on The Word of God, we are reminded that God’s Word was never meant to stay merely heard, it is meant to be lived. The seed of Scripture takes root in our hearts when we respond with obedience, allowing the truth of God to move from information to transformation. This week, Pastor Jared Blauwkamp shared how the Word grows and bears fruit when we not only receive it but also act upon it, aligning our daily choices with God’s will. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
As we begin this month’s topic on The Word of God, we are reminded that Scripture is not just ink on a page but the living truth that transforms us from the inside out. God’s Word renews our mind, restores our soul, and brings our whole being into alignment with His will. This week, Pastor Jared Blauwkamp shared how rooting ourselves in the Word allows our soul to be sanctified and shaped by the Spirit, so that the life of Christ within us becomes evident in the way we think, speak, and live. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
As we wrap up this month's topic on the Fear of God, we were reminded that faith begins with an awe and reverence of the Lord. Fear of God is the foundation that teaches us to prioritize His presence above all else. This week, Pastor Jared Blauwkamp shared how the fear of God is not the end of faith but the beginning, leading us deeper into trust, obedience, and intimacy with Him. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
As many of you know, prominent political figure Charlie Kirk, was assassinated on Wednesday, September 10. His death has brought a wake up call to our nation. Tune in for Pastor Jared's response to the shooting, and what it means for the body of Christ. Now is not the time to shrink back in fear, but to stand up for our God!
As we step into this new month, we’re reminded that the fear of the Lord isn’t about being terrified of Him, it’s about living in awe and reverence for who He is. This holy respect doesn’t drive us away; it pulls us closer, shaping the way we worship, obey, and love Him. This week, Pastor Jared Blauwkamp reminds us how to live out the Fear of God through greater revelation of His character. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
As we end our month of Evangelism, we’re reminded that sharing the good news of Jesus isn’t optional; it’s the calling of every believer. The world around us is desperate for the love, hope, and truth that only Jesus can bring. And the way we carry that message matters: with hearts full of love, walking in humility, and led by the power of the Holy Spirit. This week, guest speaker Adryn Byl challenges us to step out boldly, refusing to stay silent when eternity is at stake. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
This past week, we took a short break from our Evangelism series to be reminded that the Lord not only sees us but knows us fully. Every detail of our lives: our struggles, our victories, our hidden places, is before Him, and He calls us His own. This week, guest speaker Pastor Dan Seaborn encourages us to take comfort in the Psalms that we are never overlooked or forgotten. God’s comfort is not distant but deeply personal, and His presence brings peace in every season. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
As we continue our month of Evangelism, we’re reminded that Jesus invites us to partner with Him in His mission. The people around us are deeply loved by God and in desperate need of His hope. This week, Young Adults Pastor Jared Blauwkamp reminds us that if we want to see something we’ve never seen before, we must be willing to do something we’ve never done before. Sharing our faith may stretch us, but it’s through bold obedience that God moves in powerful ways. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
As we step into a new focus on Evangelism, we are challenged to see the world as Jesus sees it: full of people deeply loved by God and in desperate need of His hope. This week, Pastor Dan Blauwkamp reminds us that when our eyes are opened to the reality of eternity, we cannot live aimlessly. Our passions may be many, but sharing the Good News must be one of them. We were encouraged to allow God’s heart for the lost to shape our priorities, our conversations, and the way we spend our days. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
As we wrapped up our month on Dating & Relationships, we were left with a final reminder of the importance of allowing God to lead in the area of dating. Through honest conversation and reflection, ResLife's very own executive pastor and his wife, Daniel and Anna Cavazos shared how the condition of our hearts matters deeply and that being led by the Spirit brings clarity, conviction, and peace in relationships. We were encouraged to surrender our desires and timelines, trusting that God is not only able to redeem broken stories but also to write something more beautiful than we could imagine. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
This past week at Access, Pastor Jesse and Mari Cabrera shared their story with us, reminding us that God is meant to be our highest pursuit, priority, and passion before any other relationship. Their testimony powerfully showed how a strong foundation in Christ shapes every other relationship and brings true freedom and purpose. We were encouraged to keep our eyes fixed on Him, trusting that when He is first, everything else finds its rightful place. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
In a culture that often rushes into romance but struggles to end relationships with honor, what does it look like to break up in a way that reflects the heart of Jesus—not ghosting, bitterness, or shame, but truth, courage, and care? How do men and women uniquely carry responsibility in dating and what does Scripture say about those roles? Is it possible to walk through heartbreak with healing instead of hardness? Join us this week as Pastor Jared helps us explore how to navigate dating, cohabitation, and breakups with wisdom, purpose, and honor—becoming people who love well.
In a culture that celebrates instant connection but avoids deep commitment, what does it look like to pursue love with holiness and wisdom—especially in the world of online dating? How do we navigate digital spaces with discernment? How do we set physical boundaries that protect what’s sacred instead of blurring what’s true? What if purity isn’t just about restriction, but about vision—seeing relationships the way God does? Join us as Pastor Jared Blauwkamp brings a timely message on dating in the digital age with integrity and setting physical boundaries that guard your heart.
In a culture that rushes into romance and avoids intentionality, what does it look like to wait well and date wisely, determining whether their character is solid, your chemistry is real, and your callings align for something eternal? What if this season of singleness is not a burden to escape but a gift to steward? Join us as Pastor Jared Blauwkamp shares a timely message on navigating singleness with purpose and dating with clarity, where God and wisdom lead. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
What if worship wasn’t just beautiful - it was costly? What if true worship meant giving God something that hurt, something that stretched you, something that stripped away your pride? What does it look like to bring a sacrifice of praise, not just when it’s easy, but when it costs your comfort, your convenience, maybe even your dignity? Join us as Pastor Jared Blauwkamp invites us into a deeper revelation of worship as a sacrifice that is meant to move God’s heart. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
What if worship was less about a moment and more about a dwelling place? What does it look like to truly host the presence of the Lord—not just in a service, but in the everyday rhythms of your life? Join us as our Worship Pastor Jeannette Riffe invites us into a deeper understanding of worship as intimate fellowship with God. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
What comes to mind as you think of worship? What does worship look like in your life? Join us as our very own ACCESS worship leader, Mekenzi Brown, challenges us to lean into our priestly calling and transform moments of worship into a lifestyle instead. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
What does it actually mean to live in a place of rest? How do you really unplug from the business of the world to plug into the life of God? Pastor Jake challenges us to live differently than our culture by adopting a rhythm of rest. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message?
From the very beginning of time, God has laid out a plan of rest for His people. It was His intention for His people to live from a place of rest. Tune in to listen to Pastor Nick Mayo unpack the desire of God for his people to rest. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
Pastor Jared continues the series on Rest by defining the Sabbath. We as a culture have lost touch with our mind, will and emotions. How do we get in touch again? Not through more caffeine, not through binge watching netflix, but rather through a day of rest and worship, a day of stopping and delighting, a day of Sabbath. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
We as an Access Community are a people of F.I.R.E. We are committed to a lifestyle of Fragrance, Intercession, Rest, and Evangelism. Pastor Jared kicks off our series on Rest by clarifying what Rest is and what it is not. This month, we will discover what it means to truly Sabbath with God. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
On this National Day of Prayer, Pastor Jared calls us into a lifestyle of prayer and intercession. Surveying the scriptures and the sermons of some fathers in the faith, we will see that one of the most important things you could do with your life is to pray. As Oswald Chambers says, "Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work." We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
Pastor Jared and his good friend John Ferland tackle the topic of the prophetic. Filled with life-giving stories, they share about how the prophetic has the power to put wind in your sails, call you higher into your destiny, and provide comfort in a much needed time. Join in for a powerful time of teaching and ministry. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
Christianity is a Kingdom. God desires that His Kingdom would come to the earth and take up residence. One of the ways that the Kingdom of God expands on the earth is through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. But what are the gifts of the Holy Spirit exactly? What do they look like in everyday life? That is what Pastor Jared hopes to convey through this sermon series. We hope you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
We cannot live this life without the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit animates and gives life to everything we do as believers. We do not desire to just be "spiritual people". We desire to live life empowered by the Spirit. Join us as we welcome guest speaker Randy DonGiovanni to give a power-packed message. We hope you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
Christianity is not a religion. Let that sink in. It is a Kingdom. Colossians 1:13 says that you were saved "out of the power of darkness and conveyed into the kingdom of the Son of His love." When you made Jesus Lord of your life, you entered His Kingdom. God desires that this Kingdom would come to the earth; that this earth would be completely overwhelmed by the presence and rule of the Kingdom of God. How is this going to happen? Listen in as Pastor Jared unveils the power of the fruit and gifts of the Holy Spirit to bring the Kingdom of God to the earth. We pray that you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
What is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit? Does it come with Salvation? How about speaking in tongues? What is that about? With all of the charismania going on in our world today, it is easy to sink into confusion and become jaded toward the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and Speaking in Tongues. Join us as our Lead Pastor, Duane VanderKlok, clears the air concerning the baptism and the tongues. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
What if I told you that signs, wonders, and miracles were not an act that you perform, but an identity you live from? Today, Jim Baker, our dear friend from Zion Christian Fellowship in Columbus, Ohio, calls us into our supernatural identity as sons and daughters of God. He unveils the truth that supernatural power has less to do with your effort and more to do with your identity. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to this message.
Who is the Holy Spirit? Yes, you're right, He is a third person of the trinity, but what is His role in our lives? How do we interact with Him as followers of Jesus? Today, Pastor Jared invites us into awe and wonder as we meditate on the truth that the Holy Spirit is God and desires to live within us. We pray you are blessed, encouraged and revived as you listen to today's message.
This week Pastors Samuel and Becca VanderKlok preach a message on all things dating and relationships. They offer biblical insights, honest stories, and life changing truths that are sure to leave an impact. We pray that you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to today's message.
Have you ever wondered if you are destined to repeat what you observed in your family? Have you ever wished that your future marriage could be different from your parents' current marriage or lack thereof? Do you wonder if there's a different way? Good news: Your family history does not have to determine your family's future. While sin leaves a ripple effect in families, God's grace is greater. Today, Access worship leaders, Calvin and Mekenzi Brown share their story of marriage and give three keys on how to break negative generational patterns in your family. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to today's message.
The purpose of marriage is to bear the image of Christ. Any couple who decides to do marriage God's way can have a loving and lasting marriage. However, God's way of life is counter-cultural. The ways of God often directly oppose the ways of this world. That is why we must not "conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by changing the way we think," (Romans 12:2). Today, Pastor Jared explores what Tim Elmore would call the SCENE of our world. He exposes the lies of our culture concerning marriage and offers God's truth. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to today's message.
The state of marriage in the United States is bleak. With only 50-60% of marriages lasting long-term, we can definitely see that doing marriage the world's way is not working. However, there is a different way to do marriage; one that will lead to a LASTING and LOVING marriage. God intended the marriage relationship to be the most fulfilling relationship on the planet. But if we want God's intention, we must learn to do marriage God's way. Join us as Pastor Jared unveils the importance of PRIORITIES in marriage.
God is raising up intercessors in the world. People who will bury their lives in prayer, trusting in the God of the impossible. Today, Pastor Jared continues our series on Intercession by answering these major questions: What is intercession? How do I know what to pray for? and How long should I intercede? Tune in, send it to a friend, and be encouraged.
This week Pastor Jared brings a message on our Access Culture of F.I.R.E. We at Access do not just want to be on fire for Jesus when we're 20 and 30. NO! We want to be more on fire for Jesus when we're 70 and 80 than we are right now. How are we going to do that? Is it through gritting our teeth and trying real hard? Is it through powerful encounters at worship gatherings? Is it through luck of the draw and human personality? No, the way of Jesus is clear. It is a way of F.I.R.E.. If we will practice the four disciplines of F.I.R.E., we truly will be a people who burn in private and burn in public. We will be a people on FIRE.
Let me ask you some questions: if God answered every single one of your prayers right now, would you still have a reason to pray? Did Jesus have all his needs met on earth? Yes! Did He lack anything? No! Yet He still prayed. Why? Tonight, Pastor David brings a message on the heartbeat and purpose of intercession, bringing us to this central point... the greatest request we could ever make of God is to know Him. Join us and listen.
This week Pastor Jared finishes our Dating and Relationships series by tackling questions posed from our Thursday night Access Community. In this message, you will hear sound biblical advice on how to honorably break up with someone / deal with a breakup, when to incorporate your relationship with God into a relationship, and how to navigate different understandings of God in relationships. We pray you are blessed and inspired by this message, filled with hope to date and relate well.
The Bible says in Proverbs 29, "where there is no vision, the people perish." Oftentimes as young adults we enter into dating and relationships without developing a vision for success. It is no wonder why so many of us have perished or are perishing in our dating life. Vision begins in the place of trust, so before getting into practical vision, values, and boundaries, Pastor Jared invites us to ask this question: "Do I really trust the Lord with my dating and relationships? Or do I feel I have to take dating and relationships into my own hands?" Listen in for a powerful message.
Proverbs 15:22, "Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers, they succeed." As we continue our dating and relationship series, Pastor Jared welcomes three married couples to Access for a Q & A. These "advisers" offer wisdom and practical direction for our dating life and relationships. Get a pen and journal ready and listen in for biblical counsel.

God wants to speak to us on a regular basis, but sometimes we don't know the ways that God is speaking. Pastor Jared gives a window into the different ways that God speaks and offers a helpful analogy to think about regarding our relationship with God.
This week Pastor Jared kicks off our month-long series on hearing God's voice. Tune in for an important and timely message on the importance of knowing God's word in connection with hearing His voice.
Executive Pastor Daniel Cavazos brings an amazing message on how to hear the voice of God and learning how to discern the voice of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 12 tells us to offer our entire lives to God as a living sacrifice. This means there is no area of our life left out of God’s direct activity and our partnership with Him. We don’t need to wait for the spectacular movements of life, but instead learn to do everything in our life to the glory of God and in the name of Christ.

When we look to Christ on the cross we see that Christ was the type of person who when cursed, wounded, reviled, disregarded, mocked, and ultimately killed, was the type of person who naturally and freely forgave and blessed. Was this just because He was a sort of superhero on the cross? No, we see the same movement in Stephen when he is martyred for the faith, and the same in the martyrs and exemplars of the faith that follow through church history. So what does it look like to be formed into the type of person that would naturally and freely forgive under every circumstance? Pastor Nick offers two virtues that undergird the kind of life that would follow Christ in this manner, and two spiritual practices to do with the aid of the Holy Spirit to begin to develop those virtues.
Listen in to this powerful testimony given by Greg Edgcombe on the merciful forgiveness of God.
So many Christians live well beneath the grace that God has for them in their life. Why? We haven't fully received the forgiveness of Christ and haven't fully given out that forgiveness. This week Pastor Jared Blauwkamp kicks off a series Uproot: receiving and extending the forgiveness of Christ. We hope you will see that forgiveness is not something that God has to do. It is something He delights in doing.
One of the biggest enemies to the abundant life that Jesus promises is to trust in rules, methods, and steps rather than trusting the power of God. That is what the Bible calls religion. In this message, Brennan Joseph from the EveryHeart Movement exposes areas of religion in our lives and calls us into deeper freedom.
The life that Jesus lived and the death that he died was not just to pay for our sins but to show us how to live. Join us today for an engaging message on the sacrificial nature of Jesus.
As young adults, it is imperative that we are connected to the previous generation. Through the story of Ruth, Pastor Jared unveils five things we must pick up from the previous generation in order to fulfill our destiny. Listen in for a timely and inspirational word that will bring clarity and hope.
God CAN and WANTS TO redeem every single part of your sexual history. In this podcast, Pastor Jared shares a beautiful revelation on the life of David. You will see that just like God brought forgiveness and redemption to David's life, He desires to do the same in your life.
2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us we are a new creation and the old things have passed away, why then does it feel like we are caught up in the old ways of life when we want to see the new creation at work in us? Paul tells us why in 2 Corinthians 10 when he exposes strongholds of thought patterns in our life that keep us tethered to our past and often unknowingly the lies of the enemy associated with it. Pastor Nick breaks down what a stronghold of thought is, and how to bring it before Christ for transformation taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. We are a new creation, and partnering with Christ in these areas will begin to bear forth the fruit we have been looking for.
This week at Access we kick off our Real Talk Series. This entire month we will be discovering God's design for sex and sexuality. Listen in as Pastor Jared goes through the purposes of Life, Marriage, and Sex in today's sermon.
Sometimes the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is reduced to tingles and goosebumps; falling out and guttural tears, but the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is MORE than that. He doesn't come so that we can have a cool experience, but so that we can live differently. Encounters with God through powerful experiences are important to the life of a believer, but encounters with God through daily disciplines are equally important. Today, we zero-in on one of those disciplines... Bible reading. We are a people who not only have powerful, emotional encounters, but also live powerful, disciplined lives.
This week Pastor Jared goes into detail about the purpose and power of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is not just meant to give us a good feeling, but to empower us to live different. We hope that this message leaves you inspired and empowered to live the life that Jesus paid for you.
Join us as guest speaker Jonah Engle talks about what it's like to have friendship with the Holy Spirit. What is the Holy Spirit? How can we talk to him and commune with him? What does it look like to live a life with him and have a relationship with him? This message is surely going to help with any of those questions and help us grow closer to what gifts the Father has for us.
There are so many different ways to pray and partner with what God is doing. Join us as we hear from Leah Meeuwenberg teach us what intercession is and as our community puts into action the power of intercessory prayer.
How important is prayer? Does it Actually work? What even is prayer? Pastor Jared unpacks these questions and more in his message from this past Thursday. We hope and pray that this message leads you into an encounter with the Living God, Jesus Christ.
This week Pastor Jared brings a powerful message on the second coming of Christ. Often in Christianity, we hear of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. But have we actually considered the reality of Christ's second coming? Jesus is returning to this earth to rule and to reign and set every wrong thing right. This truth, though chilling, is something that we long for. We want to be ones to cry, "Maranatha, Come Lord Jesus."
Join Pastor Jared as He reads and provides some insights into the birth of Christ. He is the reason for the season.
The Incarnation of Jesus Christ is not only an event that happened in the history of man, but a reality that changed mankind forever more. God became flesh identifying with mankind, and made way for us to identify wholly with Him! Pastor Nick walks through some of the brilliance and beauty of John 1 as a cosmic explanation of what happens in the nativity scenes of Matthew and Luke.
The Trinitarian Godhead of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have been in an eternal relationship of perfect self-giving love far before the foundations of the earth. Self giving love is at the heart of the Trinitarian reality. Though mankind has fallen and rejected our relationship with the Lord; through identification with Christ’s perfect, complete, and sufficient life, death, burial, and resurrection we are now recipients and participants in the very same love that God the Father has had for His eternal Son Jesus Christ! This love is the basis for our identity in Christ Jesus. We have been invited to the table!
We, at Reslife Church, have a Heart for the Kingdom. In this message, Pastor Jared kicks off our December giving initiative by preaching on Kingdom Generosity. Listen to get stoked toward Kingdom giving, and for an exciting missions update.
James 4:6 says that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. We want to be people who receive God's grace. We want to be humble. Culture has its own definition of humility, but what is God's definition? What are some practical steps toward a more humble life? Listen in for a riveting and convicting message that inspires humility.
In a world where everyone and everything is trying to identify who we are, we will boldly declare that we belong to God. We are His. Join our Access community as we do a deep dive into our identity in Christ. Pastor Jared shares the importance of relating to God as His Children. The Father's voice in our lives as believers is crucial in defining who we are. Listen in and connect to your identity in Christ as a son or daughter.
In an age where the credibility of the Bible is being challenged, it's crucial to have a defense for why we trust the Bible. Pastor Jake gives four reasons why he trusts the Bible. You'll be inspired to treasure the Bible more deeply after listening to this message.
Pastor Jared continues our sermon series R.E.D. by delivering a prophetic word for our time and engaging a practical teaching on Mark chapter 4. Through this message, we hope you feel encouraged, challenged, and filled with hope as you listen.

In a world that gets its dating advice from movies, tv shows, and Hollywood, Pastor Jake offers a message of clarity, hope and holiness. You will be filled with a fresh and godly vision for the dating scene in 2023.
We, as an Access ministry, are a community that is ROOTED, ESTABLISHED, and DEVOTED to God's word. We are R.E.D. Join us as we hear a practical and inspiring message from Pastor Jared and receive a tool that every believer can use to read the Bible in a meaningful way.
How often do we view prayer as simply a transaction? We come to God in order to get things from Him and wait patiently (or impatiently) for the answer. We, as an Access Community refuse to view prayer in this light. Join us for an inspiring message from Pastor Jared where he highlights the purpose of prayer and the reason why we pray. Prayer is not a transaction to get something from God, but rather a conversation to build relationship with God.
Pastor Nick concludes our DEVOTED series, looking at godly and biblical friendships. As an Access community, we are committed to friendships devoted to Christ THROUGH the spiritual disciplines. Join us for a riveting message where Pastor Nick defines what spiritual disciples are and how to observe them in a way that leads to Christ.
Pastor Jared Continues our series on biblical friendships: DEVOTED. If bad company corrupts good morals (1 Cor. 15:33), then good company promotes good morals. So, then, what is bad company? What is good company? Join us as we hear an inspiring, and convicting message on the early church and Proverbs 6:16-19.
This week Pastor Jared continues our conversation on Biblical Friendships in our series called Devoted. Tune in for an inspirational message on the two major markers of godly friendships: shared unity and shared mission.
1 Corinthians 15:33 says that bad company corrupts good morals. If that is true, then the opposite is also true. Good company promotes good morals. The people that you are close with, who you are friends with. Deeply impacts where God is taking you and what He will do in your life. Tonight, Pastor Jared takes us through two stories: a tale of two boats and asks us a question... who is in your boat?
The mind is the soil of your life. The thoughts that you plant in your mind and water through consistent thinking will grow into emotions, attitudes, and actions. Join Pastor Jared as he finishes up our series on Winning the War in your Mind by asking the questions: What are you planting in your mind? And do you like the growth that may occur from that?
Join us as we hear a powerful update from Jerry and Jana Lackey, our missions partners from Botswana. Afterwards, Pastor Nick Continues our Winning the War in your Mind series with a teaching on how to take our thoughts captive and make them obey Christ. Join us as we become more like Christ.
We are made in the Image of God. God is a three part being (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). So also, we are three part beings (Spirit, Soul, and Body).

Prayer and fasting can increase the influence the Holy Spirit has on our life in order for us to grow in holiness and fulfill our purpose.
We live in a culture of business, noise, hustle and chaos. The Christmas season slows us down to remember "God is with us". As humans we can over complicate our faith. Living consistently with "God with us" in mind is the formula for a great life. He never leaves us, but we often miss Him because of the noise, hustle and chaos. Don't over complicate it, God is with you.

In this message Pastor Jake urges us to keep Jesus’ way of loving our neighbor primary. It seems everyone is frustrated, annoyed or angry at others who hold different views. Listen along as we look into how The Good Samaritan can teach us to be swept away by Jesus and his narrative.
Last week we discussed the urgency of living life toward the Kingdom in the face of our limited time on this side of eternity. This week we talk about the other end of eternity and the beautiful promise we have in Christ's resurrection. Christ, Himself makes it clear that death is nothing to fear, it is a defeated enemy, and discipleship to Christ is the safest place in this world!
Though we have a beautiful eternal destiny, our life on this planet is precious and limited. Scripture tells us on multiple occasions that life is but a vapor. Though it is brief in comparison to eternity, it does not have to be insignificant. Coming face to face with our mortality can bring maturity and urgency in understanding that our life invested on this side of eternity can be a beautiful treasure stored up in God's Kingdom for the rest of eternity.
