We all know that it's impossible to keep a wave from reaching the shore. It's just as impossible to stop the Kingdom of God from advancing.
We often think about justice as strict, efficient, and unforgiving. But let’s look deeper into Jesus’ kind of justice.
We often think about justice as strict, efficient, and unforgiving. But let’s look deeper into Jesus’ kind of justice.
“Why, God?” It’s a question everyone has asked or will ask at some point. What is God's answer when times are uncertain?
Following Jesus is not all fun and games, but whatever cost is required is worth the ultimate reward.
While magicians' tricks are illusions, Jesus' miracles are genuine. Let's look at the heart behind Jesus' miracles, still happening today.
People like to quote the Bible: "Do not judge or you will be judged." But there's more to this Scripture than most people know.
Worry is a normal part of life, especially when it comes to finances. Let's understand how God's Kingdom overcomes every worry we could ever face.
We're in the middle of a raging conflict: between the kingdom of the world and the Kingdom of God. Whose side are we choosing every day and every minute?
Matthew was an ordinary tax collector in Israel who recorded his encounter with an extraordinary man. Let's look at Jesus through the eyes of Matthew.
It doesn’t always take a pandemic to shake our faith—most times it’s the little distractions and struggles of life piling up. With Jesus, we can live “set apart” and overcome all of these.
Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross was the greatest one-time payment ever made, that is felt all over the world and has implications for all eternity.
Focusing on God and what sets Him apart from any other is probably one of the best ways to start the year. Looking forward to a fantastic year ahead!
We sing “Give Love on Christmas Day”—but do we understand the true Love story of Christmas?
"I worked hard to get where I am. Is God still the only Provider?" Join us as we talk about God's provision.
Times of testing are hard to go through and often dreaded. Let’s take a look at how we can respond when God is the one testing us.
There are many things that we find important in life. But it’s really the nonmaterial things that hold the most value.
Many things influence our lives—both seen and unseen. It’s time to open our eyes to the unseen.
Because we believe in the Bible, we know that the spiritual world is real. This means that knowing our SQ is crucial.
Staying an infant is not on anyone's list of goals. Most people will say they strive to be better. The same is true for our relationship with Christ.
Judgment sounds bad at first. But when it comes to Jesus, judgment reveals His love and justice.
Have you ever wondered about life after death? The way we view the afterlife empowers how we live today.
What does it mean to "lay hands" on people? We have a part to play in making Jesus known—not only in the spirit, but also in the flesh.
No physical factors will truly change a person inside out. Instead, a changed life begins when we are immersed in a relationship with Jesus.
Jesus never meant us to just get by in life—He wants us to be victorious. A key ingredient to pleasing God and winning in life is faith.
Following Jesus is a constant discovery of God's truth and how our lives fall short of it. This leads us to a lifestyle of repentance from acts that lead to spiritual death.
God's gift to those in Him is salvation and the promise that He will be with us as the Holy Spirit. Knowing this is the best gift we can give to the generations after us.
From Day 1, our church has been committed to reaching, helping, discipling, and training the next generation toward their God-ordained destiny. We all have a part to play in keeping this comm
The workplace tends to be toxic, but Joseph’s story in Genesis gives us a picture of how God uplifts and rewards those who diligently put Him first.
God has a calling for everyone. While discovering this calling can take a lifetime of consistent pursuit, it’s worth it.
When God charged man to fill the earth and subdue it, it meant more than just growing your family. It was a command to take the culture of God's Kingdom to the ends of the earth.
Work can be stressful because of the pressure to perform and exceed expectations. The truth is, work was God's idea, and He knows how to do it best.
The gospel is not just a one-time encounter. As we meditate on it daily, it will fuel the transformation that needs to take place in our lives to make us more like Jesus.
God owns us twice. First, because He created us. Second, because He bought us out of our slavery to sin.
If we care enough to admit it, we always want to be on the right side of things. It’s a constant challenge and a daily pursuit.
There’s a tendency for traditions to lose their essence long before anybody realizes it. Easter may be a lifeless tradition for many, but not for those who understand the power of God it repr
While we may be familiar with the Gospel of Jesus, the truth is there are probably a few other gospels we also believe in and trust for certain needs that we have.
Relationships are great, except when they're not. Because we live in an imperfect world, we also need to be open to the reality of relationships that need to end.
While a bunch of lettuce might taste nice, it’s nothing compared to a salad. The same is true for relationships. Certain things need to come together to make it work.
Nurturing relationships can be hard because somebody else’s prescription or recommendation won’t always work. This is why we need God for every relationship we intend to develop.
Relationships are complicated but valuable. It might take a lifetime to acknowledge, understand, and embrace, let alone master it. But it’s worth it.
The Church seems like a simple group of believers, but consider how some have endured through decades, and you’ll begin to understand that there really is power in unity amidst diversity in t
As the Body of Christ shares a lot of things in common, being part of the Every Nation family of churches calls us to do certain things that in a way make us distinct.
The group of believers who were called "the early church" was described as devoted to a few essential things that attracted the people around them.
While everyone has their own perspective on death, we could all agree that none of us has control over it. Good thing God has full authority over it.
Two things about miracles are consistent for all: they accomplish the plan of God and they're for God's glory.
When breakthroughs don’t seem to be enough or have not worked out as expected, don’t be intimidated to ask God for another one. He doesn’t run out and He’s committed to seeing His plan throug
It is still being debated if the account of Jesus feeding five thousand people is a myth or a miracle. But the real miracle wasn't really about the food.
In a time of great uncertainty, restlessness, and hopelessness, God’s word comes through. It's sometimes accompanied by miracles that remind us of just how omnipotent He is.
Our busyness and the growing demands of our lives makes it more and more possible to miss the message of the season. Here’s a timely wake-up call before we miss it altogether.
From the moment of Jesus' birth, it was clear that He was not just shining a light on the world, but that His light would remain because He is the light.
Christmas may be the last thing on everyone’s minds as 2022 comes to a close. But just like Jesus’ coming to earth, it may exactly be the need of the hour.
No earthly catastrophe has the power to thwart or even delay God’s plan. His purpose will prevail at His appointed time, even in the midst of a famine or a global recession.
It’s hard to imagine just how bankrupt Naomi, Ruth, and Orpah were— and in the midst of a famine, no less! But God’s sovereignty determines a path forward— toward salvation and redemption.
While times and seasons of famine were difficult even for God’s people, they proved to be catalysts for God’s purpose to become evidently clear.
When it comes to mental and emotional struggles, there’s no better person to look to and learn from than Jesus.
There are circumstances beyond our control, and these may cause us emotional instability and pain. But it's in these situations where God proves He is sovereign over all!
Every person, at least once in their lives, has had to struggle with their emotions. Yes, every one— even the man after God’s own heart.
What do you do when your emotions have forced your body to stop and abandon all hope and desire to live? How do you wake up from a living nightmare?
Every day won’t be a top-of-the-mountain moment. There will be days of feeling defeated, abandoned, and depressed. What do we do when our emotions tumble into an uncontrollable roller coaster
While we are physical beings who need to breathe in order to live, we are also spiritual beings. And to thrive as such, there are some things we cannot live without.
When life gets chaotic and filled with trouble, we need to stay sharp and focused. That’s what the sword of the Spirit enables us to do.
All our bodily functions are made possible by our minds and any injury to it will cause us to lose control. That’s why a helmet in our armor is very important.
Paul makes it very clear what the shield of faith is for: it’s to extinguish the fiery arrows from the enemy. We need to know how to take it up and keep it up as our protection.
Whether it’s for sports, work, or a casual walk, one thing is for certain, we need our shoes to be comfortable and give us stability. Ephesians also talks about shoes in relation to the Gospe
It’s easy to see why the breastplate is a crucial piece of the armor. It is able to protect some of the most important organs of the body, including the heart. Learn how righteousness protect
In Ephesians 6, of all the pieces of armor, Paul chose to start off with the belt. What’s so significant about this belt of truth that it deserves to be mentioned first?
This message is not meant to scare anyone. It is a reminder that evil days are real and inevitable. What’s more real is Christ’s victory that allows us to be victorious in these difficult tim
In Philippians, we will see Paul's exhortation for living in hard times side-by-side with a reminder that God invites us to be partners with Him in the Gospel.
It’s inevitable in a season of inflation that there will be losers and gainers. How do we make sure we’re on the positive end and not on the negative one?
In light of rising prices and several reports of worsening inflation in the coming weeks and months, here’s a gentle reminder to take stock of the truly valuable stuff.
By now we have all felt the steep rise in prices. We are told this INFLATION is caused by a number of things, including the pandemic. This message is how to prevail during such a time.
You can’t go anywhere in our world without some encounter with sex. It’s everywhere— in malls, billboards, schools, and most of all, on the internet. And God has much to say about it.
A series of messages on relationships will not be complete without unpacking God's design and purpose for marriage, and this message aims to do just that.
From the very beginning, God desired to be friends with us, and we see this consistently through Scripture.
Our relationships shape all of our lives. And the more we pay attention to the quality of relationships we have, the closer we get to real fulfillment.
Denying Jesus cost Peter his calling. That’s what he thought. Jesus’s plan and purpose hadn’t changed though.
Jesus' death and resurrection brought a unique experience to his closest friends and followers. And there's something we could learn from each of them for our lives today.
The Cross is the most popular of all Christian symbols. And the reason is simple. Without this event on the Cross, there wouldn’t be anything to celebrate every Sunday.
Next to Christmas, the season of Lent until Easter is the next biggest event in the Christian faith. It highlights Jesus’ suffering, death, and resurrection.
Another one of the devil’s weapons against God’s people is tearing relationships with accusation. The antidote is simple though, fellowship.
One of the best devices of the devil is history. He doesn’t forget our sins and reminds us again and again that we’re no good.
One of the biggest successes of the devil is in the area of deception. He tricks people into going after less valuable stuff instead of the more valuable ones.
There are spiritual forces against us tirelessly waiting for an opportunity to lure us further and faster into sin.
It's easier to stop something at the roots and it's the same with sin. We need to cut it before it starts to take root in our lives.
Sin is not after the lousy things in your life, but the most important. It wants to be #1 and it's very patient. There's a way to make sure sin doesn't take that spot.
An animal is an animal. No matter how much you care for it, its nature remains that of an animal, and it’s not something we should keep close or even inside of us.
We sometimes lose sleep over the constant changes brought about by our bout with COVID, but there is a deadlier pandemic that a lot may have forgotten.
As we've started the year strong with the Word of God, I invite you to step into the destiny God has in store for you this 2022.
While truth is a real treasure that every person seeks every day, it is elusive. The Bible presents us with the most important truth behind truth.
Jesus said: "...the one who feeds on me will live..." While some of His followers got offended and left, what did He really mean by that?
2020 and 2021 have been years of record deaths. To make sense of death, we need a firm grip in understanding LIFE as God designed and intended.
Every year is the year of the Lord. It doesn't depend on any of our circumstances or events because history is really God's story.
As you meditate on God and the Bible this Christmas season, consider how He has given us peace. It's not something that's skin deep or temporary, but real and lasting peace.
No Biblical discussion on money and finances will be complete without a discussion on generosity and why it's the tool of choice of the kingdom of God to bring prosperity.
In terms of storing for future need, there's a lot we could learn from ants. Let's discover what these tiny and seemingly inconsequential creatures can teach us when it comes to our finances.
