Jesus suffered the worst kind of death, but faced it with joy because He knew He would conquer death, hell, and the grave. If we abide in Him, we have His victory in our lives.
| Rev. Rick Kielley | Legacies are important to every person. This is the legacy of our Lord: He came to give His life and He come to leave us His Spirit.
We can be clouded by circumstances and trials, but if we will remember Jesus, He has already overcome. We must choose to turn our eyes back to Jesus in remembrance every situation. He is more than enough!
On this journey of walking with God, we encounter times of feeling surrounded by our enemies. But God is greater and surrounds us with peace, strength, and His perspective.
There are many paths, but only one that leads to eternal life in Jesus. Although difficult at times, God reveals and guides us in His perfect will.
Our reward is great in Heaven and Jesus made a way for us to join Him for eternity. As we get closer to the Second Coming of Jesus, we should encourage each other with the hope of His return!
| Rev. Joseph Hanthorn |The battle is won by the Lord and He shared His victory with us, our connection to Him is through prayer.
| Rev. Joseph Hanthorn | Even when we can't see our way to Jesus, He is near to hear our cry. Those who call out to Him in desperation will have His attention drawn to them. He will hear us and meet our needs.
When the struggle seems to last too long, it can be hard to remember that Jesus is greater than it all. We have to determine to get to Jesus; no matter what. He will respond with power!
God is love, because of His attribute of love, He does every action propelled by and through the greatness of His love.
We only have so much to give...we have limited resources. But God's resources are unlimited and He freely gives to us as we need.
We have the condition of a rebellious heart. The heart must be transformed to be what God intended for us. We give what we've got and He performs the miracle of transformation.
Every person comes to a point in their life where a decision must be made of what is priceless, what has so much value that it's worth giving up everything else to obtain it.
God is pleased when we look past the "fool's gold" of this world and instead pursue His eternal riches. He is a God of abundance and shares His riches with His children.
Nothing in this world can fill you up like the Holy Spirit. You will never run out of resource when you are filled with The Source.
Love is a choice and fierce love cannot be ignored. Our love for others will drive us to fervently pray for them. Fierce love coupled with fervent prayer changes things!
The world says we should take as much as we can, but in God's Kingdom we should give as much as we have. God's replacements are always better.
If the pillar of faith is present in our life, God will build on it. Jesus is worthy of everything we can offer Him; our praise, our faith, our obedience. He's worthy of it all!
We need to know who God is before we can know who we are. When we link our identity to what God tells us, we will understand and walk in His purpose for our life.
The Gospel offers us liberation from the power of sin. Why would we not walk in the freedom Jesus provided? His power is limitless.
Just as soldiers fight to preserve our freedom in the natural, God has fought and won our victory. He preserves our freedom.
Sometimes God is silent i our storms, but He is never absent. God is not a man. We can absolutely trust Him!
You will receive supernatural power from God when you receive the Holy Ghost. It's for you!
We have a choice to accept the gift of His Spirit which is the power to overcome sin. God's plan + our surrender results in deliverance.
Intercessory prayer is something every believer is called to. God has promised that the prayers of the righteous will be effective.
| Rev. Joe Zirpoli | We expect God to meet us on our terms, check our boxes, but He is waiting for us to lay down our expectations and surrender to His will. This is our defining moment!
Jesus has promised that through Him, all things become new. The power of His Spirit can breathe new life into you today!
It is possible to block out the important things with smaller, less important things. Every choice we make has eternal impact on our soul. Our soul is the most valuable thing we have.
The story of the Resurrection is a story of Jesus rewriting our story of sin and shame. Through the power of His Spirit, we can be resurrected live eternally with Him.
When Jesus came as the Messiah, it wasn't the way the Jews imagined. He wasn't the hero they wanted, but He is the hero we all need.
Our genuine faith in God puts us in a position for Him to make us righteous. The enemy of our soul cannot accuse us of anything that will stick to us. We are now innocent before God.
God's calling is always higher than our ability. With humility, we approach God and He enables us to do what He has called us to do.
| Rev. John Gannon | It's natural for humans to doubt. God asks us to transcend what is temporal and reach for the eternal. We must choose to act in faith, not in doubt.
Caleb of the Old Testament was a man of integrity and quality of character. His story shows us victory through faithfulness.
The day of visitation often means a time of calamity, but it's reserved for those who do evil. For those who love and serve God faithfully, the day of visitation is a blessing and they can look forward to His coming.
We should count our trials as "Joy Opportunities". The joy of the Lord is our strength.
Praise is something we don't have to learn to do, but we have to choose to praise. When we are filled with His joy, it's easy to offer our praise to Him!
There are times we can't seem to see victory in our lives. If we abide in Jesus, He shares His eternal victory with us.
Remembering Jesus as our Savior is more important than remembering the things He gives us. The eternal benefits far outweigh material blessings here on earth.
The wisemen knew the bright star would lead them to One that would fulfill the prophecies they had studied. They cam to worship Him.
We are vessels of God's light, through faith we must keep our oil full. Our savior is the star of light for us all to shine into this world.
Conflict will always be a part of life here on earth. Time of need can point men back to God and He had promised that through Him we will overcome.
When we fail at things, we tend to think it's only because of our insufficiency. But when we allow God to step into our failures, there is nothing He cannot do!
There is blessing in waiting on the Lord. The trust required of us to wait on God builds our faith and matures our spiritual walk.
The fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden started the work of deception and sin, but God's plan redemption is enough to cover every sin we will ever commit!
Even today, Jesus is sending out the call, Follow Me. Whoever responds to this call has the opportunity of adoption into his family, with all the benefits of an heir.
Golf can be more dangerous than you think - with injuries from getting hit by the ball to pulling a muscle. Just as in our christian walk there are many obstacles that can inflict wounds as well. Listen to learn about how to avoid wounds and how our God can heal and use them for something great.
Any time you are building something good, there will be troubles. Build anyways until the blessing comes.
Prayer changes your mind when nothing else will. Time investment in prayer makes room for the change to happen.
God delivers us from our slavery of sin so we can be free to choose Him. Surrender to Him is the only thing that will bring freedom.
We certainly will encounter struggles in this life. Like Jeremiah, we must remind ourselves of the Lord's goodness and faithfulness.
The first humans were perfectly made in God's image. But because sin entered the world, we need the healing restoration that only God can bring.
Full conversion changes everything. Jesus re-identifies us and we are no longer what we were, but we are what He says we are.
God allowed the three Hebrew young men to excel in Babylon and then go through a fiery trial. Where there is trial, there is grace and deliverance, if we will not bow to temptation.
A good shepherd stays in front of the sheep and invites them to follow. Jesus said "I am the Good Shepherd", and He invites us to follow Him.
All we need to do with our needs is take a step of faith and bring it to Jesus. He responds to faith!
Paul didn't go to Philippi just to build a church. He had his sight set on reaching Asia. The world is FULL of people that need to be rescued. We choose to be a Rescue Church!
Our old robe was lost in the waters of baptism and God has given us a new robe of His righteousness. A covenant with God is a win-win for every person who chooses to enter it.
Mothers are God's gift of increase to humanity.Mothers are multipliers, by God's design.
Preparation is the key to every success. There is no way to be ready for the Second Coming of Jesus if we do not prepare! Scripture clearly gives us instruction to be ready….we have no excuse!
The strength we rely on comes from the Holy Spirit living inside us. Through God's Spirit, we are built tough enough to face any spiritual challenge.
The story of Calvary is still the greatest story ever told. It is the story of redemption purchased by the perfect sacrifice of the sinless One.
Israel misunderstood their Messiah. He didn't come to only save one nation, but He came ti save the whole world. He truly is the King of Kings.
It's not enough to only study baptism in God's Word. Until you obey what the Scripture says you cannot go forward in your relationship with God.
There is salvation in the name of Jesus, but until we are actually baptized into the name, we cannot be saved by that name.
The enemy wants us to believe if we lose a fight, we’ve lost the war. But God is our Victor and He has already won it all and He shares His victory with us!
The written Word of God was given to us as a sure foundation of truth to guide us through life. It has been proved accurate again and again and is trustworthy!
Hope is not just wishful thinking. It is the strategy of expectation based on our confidence in God's promises. Something good will happen.
Trials that God allows have the purpose of changing us and perfecting us through the pain.
God transforms us by renewing our mind. This transformation will change our homes, if we allow Him to be Lord of the Breakthroughs in our family and our home.
God the Creator was willing to live with His creation to recover us and reestablish His relationship with us.
The work of Jesus Christ completed on Calvary's cross caused a ripple effect of salvation and healing for whoever comes to Him.
We choose what we focus on. If we keep Jesus always in our focus, we will experience Him in all His glory and our faith will be strong.
God's Spirit is a fulfillment of so many of His promises. Our gratitude should be inspired to higher heights by how God has shared His power with us through the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Just as the human body is an intricate network of cells and systems, so is the Body of Christ. We are called to fulfill our purpose in the Body and be unified by His Spirit.
God can make a way where there is no way. He knows the way of the righteous and walks alongside.
Because of disobedience, Israel had monsters to fight. Idolatry leads to the growth of "monsters" in our lives. Only God can equip us to defeat the monsters.
Every person has scars or will have scars. The beauty of the scars are that they are healed wounds. We know the Healer!
When we encounter God, it should change the way we live. Honoring God with our life equips us live as overcomers.
| Rev. Joe Zirpoli | God asks us to trust Him. Our trust unlocks the miracles God has waiting for us.
Our world is full of static and the noise of the lies the enemy would have us believe. We counter the volume of the enemy by turning up our level of trust in the Almighty God.
When there is a visitation from God; the response of a pure heart is transformation followed by the advancement of the kingdom of God.
What you deem insufficient is more than enough when God takes over. Our little bit with God's greatness is more than the enemy's best could ever be!
God is the judge. Satan is the slanderer, the accuser of God's children, but in the end he will be cast down and God's justice will prevail.
| Rev. Michael Hook | God's Word is spirit and life. When we receive the Word of the Lord, we are transformed by it.
God gave Abram directions without details so he could walk by faith, not by sight. As the children of God, we are given that same opportunity today.
God cannot and will not bless the fake you. He is the Spirit of Truth and will only bring truth to your life, and truth is what sets you free.
The empty chaos of life piles on top of us until we feel smothered by it. The Word of God gives us the cure for this chaos and enables us to live in peace.
The difference between being CALLED and being CHOSEN is our response to God. Those that are chosen have laid down everything to the cause of Christ, and God chooses to do His will through them.
The thorns God allows in our lives are for our protection from pride, but they open us up to seeing the glory of God at work.
Thorns in our life are for the purpose of pulling us back to God, so his power can work all things together for good.
The great feats for God recorded in the Bible were not just humanity in action. It was GREAT FAITH that caused men and women to ACT.
Father are critical to the strength of the next generations. As children of God, we can trust Him to give us the strength we need, through His Truth.
Truth is powerful all by itself; there is no need to prop it up. Truth is not something, it's SOMEONE.
It's more than just learning about Jesus and talking about Him. We can only have the power to OVERCOME when we have the Holy Spirit.
The desires of the heart inform all choices. We must have Godly desires to have the outcome of true freedom.
Many people say they believe, but they aren't willing to trust. It can be nerve-wracking to trust Jesus, but it is safe.
| Rev. Mark Harris | God uses our giving to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world. Some give by going, some go by giving.
Our decisions and actions are informed by our convictions, and as our faith grows, so do our convictions. The more we ACT in faith, the more it grows, and the more conviction we gain.
Whatever is your greatest thought of God cannot even compare to how great He really is. He is worthy of our praise!!
We were never meant to live under the curse of sin. Jesus took that curse upon Himself so WE CAN BE FREE!
Jesus is the only One worthy of the glory given to Him. He is the King of kings and worthy ALL worship.
Choosing the gate of forgiveness gives us a place of freedom. The gate of salvation is Jesus: He is THE WAY.
"...Now why tarriest thou? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the Name of the Lord." Acts 22:16
We must be baptized in the name of Jesus. Baptism wipes away the record of our sin and we RISE UP to new life!
When God calls us to do something, it's for a purpose. We are called to repentance as the first step toward new life in Jesus.
If we want to RISE UP, we must first "lay down" or submit to God's plan and His commands. It's only accomplished through humility.
God shows His goodness through blessing, to have a blessing is to have a full understanding of how good God is.
When we follow 'Jesus' example of ultimate surrender, we will find ultimate victory through Him.
God stepped out of eternity and came to the earth He created to rescue us from sin. Though He gives all, He never becomes less than the Almighty.
Being Faithful to God is different from the world, but it's what God honors here on earth.
God uses circumstances in our life to make us desperate for the help only HE can bring. Our desperation can turn our hearts toward the giver of abundant life.
Fasting is an experience of spiritual consecration. The act of consecration brings supernatural results!
In the darkness of this world, we have a Beacon of Hope, if we will only fix our eyes on Jesus.
Religion is man's attempt to get to God. Relationship is God's path to intimacy with mankind.
There is nothing like the power of the GIFT of the Holy Ghost. This is the best gift we could seek after.
We need to understand the point of life is to give God glory. This secret is how we continually live a thankful life.
When we lean on our own understanding, we shortcut God's power. To surrender to the unexpected guiding of God leads us to things we never could have imagined.
God is sovereign. Mountaintop experiences, times in the wilderness, and seeming silence from God are all "God Moments". He works ALL things together for our good.
Living in sin is living in death. We don’t have to live in death! God has made a way of escape through the resurrection power of His Spirit.
Every time you say YES to the Lord, you say NO to the world. The prison will only shake if we say YES to God leading us to freedom!
We may be shaken by this world and the things the enemy throws at us, but we are FREE through the power of the Holy Ghost!
| Rev. John Englehart | Faith is necessary, hope keeps us moving forward, but the greatest of these is Agape Love.
When we have a deeper understanding of Faith, we can operate in the spiritual Will of God. The Word has many examples we can use to strengthen how we demonstrate Faith.
Keeping hope in our homes gives the next generations a foundation of hope for the future God has planned for us.
The Israelites did not move without the cloud of God's glory leading them. A Spirit-filled home submits in the same way to the leading of the Lord and is Blessed because of it!
God is our Refuge. If we will turn our hearts towards "home", He will restore us and heal us.
Like sheep, we will all go astray, unless we follow the Shepherd. Jesus IS the answer to EVERY question!
Fear will keep you out of the fight. But great courage (powered by God) brings great hope (found in God).
Jesus reached to us in friendship and laid down his life. He intentionally works through relationship with Him. In this relationship we find the strength to trust His plan and make ourselves available!
Our surrender to God means we make ourselves available to however God wants to use us. Here am I... the three most powerful words. Availability takes you beyond your ability!
Water is important for life to exist... Jesus is the Living Water that brings eternal life to all who will drink from it.
The weight of pain rests on all humanity. The only place completely free from pain is in the presence of Jesus.
If I allow God’s plan for me to be my guidance, I can endure and be victorious in anything life brings my way.
The connection between us and our Heavenly Father is His Spirit dwelling inside us. Through the infilling of the Holy Spirit, we become the children of God.
The "rings" of your life tells a story, whether it's full of mistakes and failures or successes. Our dedication to God will show the growth and healing in our story. Can God count on me to be faithful?
Jesus took responsibility for sin that wasn't His. Even though we have an enemy, we are more than conquerors through Him. It's our decision whether we will lose by ourselves or win with Jesus.
A good soldier stays focused on the mission and is willing to lay down his life for a cause. Sacrifice purchases freedom, and Jesus purchased our freedom through His sacrifice.
God cares for us. He has a plan for our lives, and His plan is perfect. When we reach for the eternal, we certainly will find His perfect will, because God thinks the World of you!
God asks, “What can I do for you” when we make ourselves available to Him. We must make room in our lives for the miraculous!
By ourselves, we are mediocre at best and disasters at worst. Jesus invites us to let Him make all things new!
| Rev. Jerry McLean | The mission of God is to seek and save the lost. We want to fulfill His mission!
We are all like ships drifting in the sea, tossed by the waves and winds of this world. The Light of Jesus Christ will lead us to safety in the darkness of night.
There is a fire burning in our world. But the power of the Holy Ghost is THE all-consuming fire that enables us to live victoriously in this world.
Not only has He risen, but Jesus invites us to come and see what His resurrection does for us. Through Him, we have eternal LIFE.
Whatever God promises over my life cannot be stopped by the enemy. My faith in God’s plan thwarts the enemy every time!
Forgiveness brings healing....Jesus was the perfect example of how to forgive, with hands outstretched.
Grace and truth are linked together infrequently, but they are both gifts from God. Jesus is the Truth and His grace is what saves us.
We might say that spiritual disciplines are SO BASIC... but they open up the windows of Heaven. Find the windows of prayer and giving, and your life will be abundantly blessed!
| Rev. Jerry McLean | Are we sure the Bible is accurate? This study shows us proof of why we can trust the Word of God to still be His voice to us today.
Jesus is the Light of Truth in this dark world. Come home to His presence while there is still time!
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. When we get confused and our compass isn’t working, we can look to God’s Word to recalibrate us.
Fear will always be in this world, but God says to “Fear not”! If we take the leap of faith, He will do what we cannot do.
We are so close to the Second Coming of Jesus! We must not fall asleep in this moment when we need vigilance and wakefulness in our spirit. Jesus is calling us to awaken!
| Rev. Jerry McLean | God was IN the world as Jesus Christ. His purpose was to conquer sin so we could be in relationship with Him. Jesus is God WITH us!
Jesus came to us with the purpose of HOPE. Without Jesus, there can be no hope. With Jesus, hope is a reality.
God's Word has given us the formula for being a ThankFULL Church. Thankfulness is His will and glorifies His name!
Thankfulness in the home sets up each family member for a life of blessing. Practice thankfulness and you will see a change in your home!
Meditate on what the Word of God says about thankfulness... it will encourage you to live a ThankFULL Life!
Take your thoughts captive; if you do not take your thoughts captive they will take you captive.
When the enemy of our soul attacks us, we can use the weapon of our testimony and the blood of Jesus... We will overcome!
We have provision in the Great I Am when we choose to live under the power the Name of Jesus!
We have what we need to change our lives. Prayer is not transactional, but it is relational. Prayer changes us!
First we build an alter of sacrifice, and then God answers us in every need that we put on the alter. He responds to us as we place our lives in His hands.
When the enemy comes against us, we can run to the name of Jesus as our place of refuge. He will give us the victory, but we must MOVE!
Movement brings healing. Places of pain become places of victory when you move in faith and let God's work be done in your life.
We can be "covered" by the Spirit of God, even when we experience "hollow" moments in our lives. Only God can fill our places of need. He is the answer to everything!
| Rev Joe Zirpoli | It's Gods will for us to be free, but freedom only comes by giving ourselves to Him. Jesus came to set the captive free!
God is preparing us, as a master gardener, to help us reach our full potential in Him. If we choose to surrender to His pruning, we will be become something He displays for His glory.
The promise of the Holy Ghost releases us to go where God wants to take us. He is not caught off guard when we become overwhelmed, but it is a perfect setup for Him to perform a miracle!
God makes us alive in Him once we decide to get serious about following Him. Our submission to Him brings the joy and contentment we all desire.
| Rev Joe Zirpoli | Enter into His courts with thanksgiving and offer the sacrifice of Praise!
The framework of God's miracles shows off the masterpiece He is creating in your life. Submit yourself to Him and see what He will create in you!
When you place yourself in the hands of the Master, your mess will become His masterpiece.
God calls us HIS masterpiece. It doesn't matter what others think of us; we are of great value to Him!
God specializes in dealing with the heart and will make all things new, if we would only humble ourselves before Him.
Biblical meditation is God's original plan for renewing out minds. When we are overwhelmed, we will be renewed if we purposefully meditate on the truth go His Word!
With the outpouring of the Holy Ghost, God has established the authority and power of His Spirit in the earth and in those who receive this gift. God’s perfect will is spoken through us when we pray in the Holy Ghost. You can experience this for yourself!
Jesus came to earth and demonstrated the power of God. He left that power here for us to live as overcomer through the outpouring of the Holy Ghost. We are the vessel of the fiery power of God resident in the earth today!
Freedom from sin comes through the blood Jesus shed at Calvary. God's plan is to bring everyone into His bloodline!
A disconnected faucet is useless, unless connected to a water source. Just as this disconnection makes functional items dysfunctional, we also must be connected to the Source, in order to have God's resources flowing through us. He intends for His Church to be Overcomers!
When we live for the Lord first, dreams He gives us WILL come to pass. It's not by our strength, but by the power and strength that comes through our surrender to the One who overcame death, Hell and the grave.
Love doesn’t ask questions, it just wraps people up and gives the comfort that’s needed. God’s love celebrates over us as we let Him move in our lives. He doesn’t wait until our brokenness is fixed, or until our lives are perfect, in order to shower us with His love. He runs to us while we are still broken!
When we go through hard times, we inevitably take on baggage. Our past can speak things to us that aren’t true about our worth. But Jesus loved us the hard way; He didn’t shirk from the pain of His broken heart. We must choose to let God’s love be the louder voice in our lives.
God's love is constant and perfect. Our response to His love doesn't determine if we can receive His love or not. He offers it freely, as a perfect Father.
Even though many people have a lot of the same goals in life, some accomplish and some do not. The difference is in the habits. Each step is important and the domino effect is real. We have to make the good choices every single day in order to see the best results.
Every person has routines and habits, whether intentional or not. We must train ourselves to have spiritual disciplines in our lives. Change only comes from intentional breaking if bad habits and establishing healthy habits.
We are the sum total of our choices. Jesus was the most successful human ever. He fully completed His mission, but He had to make good choices every single day to accomplish that mission. Every choice has its result, and eventually a habit is formed. Continue in the habit, and eventually a mission is accomplished!
God did not create us to stay in the low places. He built us with intention for us to go to higher places with Him. Our surrender to God's purpose enables us to see the path He has chosen that will take us to those high places.
When God gives us His Word, it is with intention. There is power in His Word and we can tap into that power through obedience to it. Living out the Word of God is the way we find the will of God.
Almighty God wrapped in flesh, born as a baby, willing to give all to save some....this is the true Heart of Christmas.
Jesus came to earth on a mission to die for the sins of the world, and to reveal to us exactly who God is. He is the I AM, and He was “God with us”. He is the Messiah, revealing the true God to all people.
God has shone His light into our hearts. His light brings healing to our brokenness. God's Word of healing will deliver us and help us to bring our best to His Kingdom.
Above all things, we must guard our heart and the hearts of our children. Their hearts must be trained to live righteously. The things the heart falls in love with will lead their lives. If children can fall in love with Jesus at a tender age, it will keep then in The Way.
Being thankful fulfills the will of God in our lives. Gratitude is invisible, unless it's expressed. We are commanded to give, or express, thanks, no matter what the circumstances may be.
| Rev. David Meyer | We need to reflect the glory of God not just at church, but everywhere we are.
We think we need to pursue our dreams and make them happen, in order for us to celebrate success. But God wants to put HIS dream in our life. His dream makes us different, but will give us the ultimate success of His desires and promises coming to pass in our life.
We did not dedicate ourselves to the Kingdom of God to just back down, or give up. We need to suffer hardship as “good soldiers” in the spiritual battle we find ourselves in. We can have victory NOW through the power of praise.
If we don’t re-evaluate our spiritual disciplines, we tend to drift off course. The truth of God’s Word does not change, but our flesh can change and drift away from what we know to be true. When we get off course, we can drift into danger of losing the progress we have made and ultimately our final destination.
We get so busy doing things for God, that we forget to build up ourselves in the Holy Spirit. We have been baptized with the Holy Ghost and with fire, but we nee too encourage the fire to keep it burning in our lives and in the Church. Prayer is the key to keeping the fire burning!
Prayer isn't just a good option, its the best option. It requires us to humble ourselves and seek the face of God. When we look on His face, we see who He really is, which gives us the perspective of who we really are.
We have a tendency to only see what we want to see. What we focus on, we begin to see everywhere. But God wants to take us to new places and make ALL things new!
Transition is where transformation takes place. Many times we pray for God to change us, but we don’t want to go through the transition that gets us to the transformation. Prayer is the fuel that gets us through it!
Joy doesn't always make sense. But we must have the joy of the Lord, His unspeakable joy, even His fullness of joy, in our lives!
When life makes us feel empty, the Holy Spirit is the only one who can completely fill us with the JOY we all need. We surrender to God as our Redeemer, our Comforter, and our Source. His joy becomes our strength!
Jesus didn't come to bring happiness to our lives... He came to bring us joy! The joy of the Lord is our strength.
Push towards what God has for you! He has already prepared us for the breakthrough He knows is coming. When we break through, He will break forth in ways we couldn’t even imagine.
Standing at the trophy case of what God has done for us in the past will only get us so far. Having a thankful heart is a good thing, but we cannot live only on the past testimonies of what has been done. It is necessary for us to build up our faith through time spent in His holy presence and look for God to demonstrate His power in our lives on a regular basis.
Jesus brings so much blessing to our life, but He also comes prepared to dig. He digs into our heart and takes out what shouldn’t be there. This digging must be done before anything can be built. God will dig down and build a firm foundation on which our entire lives can be secured.
God's words to us are words of covenant, words of promise, and words of agreement. People might struggle to stay in covenant with God, but He will never fail to fulfill His covenant with us. He puts His Spirit in us as a helper for us to stay in covenant with Him
The Word of God unleashes the power of God in our lives, if we only let it be established on earth (in our hearts) as it is in Heaven. When we mix faith with the Word, it changes everything. It does not return void, but it always accomplishes what God wills.
Man’s wisdom only goes so far. It might be able to persuade us, but it cannot change a heart. Only God’s Word can change a life! His words are truly words to live by.
The Word of God made all things and can change all things. When we speak the Word of God, we are speaking with God's power and authority into our situation. We can trust that Word to accomplish what we cannot.
Everything that was built into us was specifically built for the purpose of worship unto God. But we cannot reflect God if we try to be our own lord. We must declare our dependence on God in order to experience true freedom.
When we are convinced of the things of Heaven, we will act differently, believe the promises of our Heavenly Father, and emphasize heavenly things in our homes. Men who are a "heavenly father" to their children will see future generations' earth experience changed because of the impact of Heaven.
God's Spirit is more powerful than ANY other power! The captives will be sent free and liberty will replace the bondage of sin. Freedom can reign in our lives when we receive the power of the Holy Ghost!
Jesus stood on the frontline for us. It wasn't His sin. It wasn't His burden to bear. But He knew that we could never conquer on our own. His unconditional love made Him our hero!
| Rev. David Meyer | Pain is the common denominator of humanity. We all experience pain at some level, and we tend to try to shut it out of our lives. But God can and will use the pains of our lives and use it for our good!
Jesus came into a world that considered women as unworthy. He challenged this thinking by demonstrating His value in the women around Him, even the lowest of the low. Our value is not the value assigned to us by society; our value is displayed by the actions of Jesus!
Jonah was a passionate man and had a strong will. But the collision of man's will and God's will always causes trouble. If we will submit and obey, God's Spirit meets us in that place, and His perfect will is accomplished. Our submission to God's calling must be stronger than our own will.
| Rev. Robert Kurz | There are so many reasons we fall into struggling with "if only" regrets. But God is sovereign even in the "ifs." ALL things work together for good, on the condition that we love God and walk in His calling on our lives.
God Himself came down off His throne to perform the greatest act of love... He gave His life for the ones He loved. But He did not finish there, He was raised to new life! The story of Easter is an image of the promise of the resurrection by that same Spirit that is available to ALL who believe.
Abraham held onto the hope of the promise of God. He believed that God can bring life to something that has no life. He doesn't need anything other than His OWN resurrection power! He will bring dead things to life!
If we will have faith to let God write our story, the things that we think are dead can be raised to life. He is our resurrecting power! He brings dead things back to life through the power of His Spirit working in us.
The seed of God’s Word is guaranteed to be good seed, but the soil of our heart determines the amount growth that can happen. Even good seed needs good soil to grow in. We are responsible for making our soil a healthy growth environment for the good seed.
In order to be growing in our mindset, we have to adjust ourselves to God’s leading and correction. We must live by God’s grace, and not by our faulty idea of perfection. Our gratitude to God will keep our mindset always focused on Him.
We must walk through the door He has prepared for us. We have to see His purpose, prepare for it, and intentionally pursue it. When we are on God's mission, nothing can stop us!
When God fills us with the Holy Ghost, we are given the power to see doors open where there were closed doors before. In desperate moments, we can kick open doors by unifying with the Body of Christ and praying together according to the will of God.
God is approachable. He opens doors before us, desiring us to trust Him enough to go through it. Once through the door, He does not forsake us. He never leaves those who seek Him, those who worship Him in spirit and in truth, but He WILL accomplish a good work!
God sets before us an open door. If we will trust in Him and walk through that door, we will see His glory unfold in our lives. No man can shut the door that God has opened!
With the Holy Spirit in us and God's Word to guide us, we have more than enough to cover our needs! He is our provider... The One who is our source. There is not a single human need that cannot be met by the One who made us.
God has given us the ability to understand real love through His character. He is patient, kind, and wants everything that is best for us. If we walk in His love, we will be able to have His character in us. We will truly be able to share His love with the world!
The Church of the living God should be the grittiest people on the face of the earth. Though trials, tribulations, and persecution comes against us, we must trust in the strength of the Lord and be always pressing forward. We must not give up! We must keep going forward!
Our lifestyle creates our legacy for us. Let us not deceive ourselves, but prayerfully walk toward the light of God’s holiness. In walking toward God’s holiness, we are walking into His revelation for lives.
Jesus cannot leave us in darkness. He is the Light, so when we draw close to Him, His light dispels our darkness. In this closeness, His light gives us the revelation we need in our lives.
We are made to shine in a dark world to help others find the safety of Jesus in the storm. We go through the same storms that they go through, but the light of Jesus in our lives MUST shine on to guide ALL who see it. He is the firm foundation.
Jesus is the Light. We were made to reflect that light, but it is impossible for us, unless we fully surrender to Him. This world needs us to walk in the Light, so that they might know Him, too!
God has never stopped being the Creator... He continues to make new things! He restores life, security, and hope to broken people.
Everything we have is because of what He did. He allows any person to meet Him at the manger, at the place of the beginning of new life.
Seeking God’s face for His revelation in our lives will give us “secrets” with our Savior. He is a personal Savior, one who wants to share intimacy with His people. We can find rest and safety under His protection.
When we don’t have strength, or feel strong enough for what we have in front of us, we are missing a specific element. We are missing the JOY that only Jesus can bring. His joy is our strength.
Jesus came to earth as the "peace child", to bring peace to a broken world. Without the peace of Jesus in our lives, there is no peace. Let His peace rule your heart.
We might not be able to get it all right, but Jesus can make it all right. If we let Jesus take control of our lives, and if we give an example of Jesus to our children, our families will be blessed in Him.
Before we even see the answers, we can thank God for the answers that are on the way. Having a heart of Thanksgiving is living a lifestyle of giving thanks to God for the things we can see and the things we cannot.
Our walk with God is a “love walk”, a relationship. This journey requires us to grow. He wants us to grow in His grace and in knowledge of who He is. Our lives are meant to glorify our Creator, so He will not remove suffering from our life. He expects us to grow through it!
In looking for identity, people waste so much of their life trying on identities that don’t work. Our identity is supposed to be in Jesus. God’s Word is a mirror, showing us who we are AND who we can be!
We can pour out our hearts to the Lord in prayer and He will pour back into us His desires. When He speaks to us, it will be what is good and precious. Hold fast to that which is sacred, and His will can be accomplished in you!
God is absolutely consumed with that which is lost. He would rather leave the ninety-nine that are saved and go find the one who is lost. Nothing can stop a church that is focused on what God is focused on.
| Rev. Joe Zirpoli | The only way to obtain our spiritual inheritance is through faith. To whom much is given, much is required. God sees what we do with our faith and He responds accordingly.
| Rev. Joe Zirpoli | Faith is the one thing that moves God. He gave each of us a measure of faith, so that we all have it. He responds to us when we use the faith that we've been given!
Love can be applied in every situation. The most broken heart can be healed by love. The most toxic relationship can be fixed by love. Love never fails.
How are we spending our time? What we do with our time, shows what is most important to us. We spend so much time building our life, while forgetting our forever. When we give our life to God, He will take care of our forever, and give us eternal life.
In a world of shifting sand, unfaithfulness, inconsistency, there is only ONE thing we can depend on: "I am the Lord and I CHANGE NOT".
God gives us the first breath of life. But He has made His power available through the gift of the Holy Ghost. He wants to give us our "second wind"!
Sometimes it seems like God is delaying His answer to our prayer. Real trust means that we let Him be the Lord of the timetable. He WILL come through! God's love is in His delay, we put ourselves in the position to receive the miracle that He's been planning for us all along.
What is the source of your affirmation? We were made to abide in God, and He in us. We can’t let the difficulties of life become the deity of our life! Bitterness will ultimately destroy what was once healthy, if it is not eradicated by surrender to the One who is the only Deity we ever need.
God has healed us and prepared us, but we cannot just sit in the presence of a God, enjoying His blessings. Now we have to be ready and willing to go where He wants us to go, and expect His anointing to accomplish His purpose.
The hospitality of God is found in mercy, love, and forgiveness. Our service to God must be a hospitable service of offering the same mercy, love, and forgiveness that we have received. God will do the miraculous through the hospitality we offer to others!
Jesus gave us an example of hospitality that the Church must follow. The Bible commands us to pursue hospitality as a lifestyle. Warmth and welcome draws people to want what they see. Then we can minister to their needs!
We must lay some things down in order to pick up the things God really wants us to carry. God really does want to do the miraculous, but we have to submit our flesh to His Spirit first. Then we will be able to declare the works of our unprecedented God!
We advance in God’s Kingdom when we commit ourselves to the climb. God calls us, but we have to actually do the climbing. The divine mission God calls us to is the destiny of the Church, and can only be accomplished through commitment.
On our spiritual journey, we need the Word of God to guide us, protect us, and give us wisdom. When life brings storms our way, we can seek shelter in God’s Word!
We tend to focus on the "highlights" of our lives as the best stories to tell. But God brings us into valleys, low points in our lives, with purpose. It's the lessons we learn in the valleys that are valuable to us when we are climbing to new heights.
God is a father to the fatherless. He is the best guide to those who don't have a good father example as well as to the man who desire to be a good father. We can look to God's word to provide all our needs.
Fix your focus on Jesus. The enemy will attack you and cause you to get sidetracked, if you are continually looking at Jesus. We cannot make it without Him as our guide. If our eyes are on the Lord, we can enjoy the climb!
If you are a true disciple of Jesus Christ, Jesus will not just be apart of your life, but Jesus will BE your life. He is the I AM...whatever we need Him to be.
We choose where we are going to get our strength. When God is our source of strength, our resources are unlimited. Our faith is rewarded in our present and our future.
The Power of the Holy Ghost is available for every person! Anyone who seeks this gift will surely receive it.
Honor should be a strong, underlying value in every aspect of our lives. God puts much emphasis on the action of honor. This Mother's Day, love your mother unconditionally, and in so doing, you will bring honor to her life.
The Church is to be filled with the Holy Ghost and with fire! The fire continues to burn when we continue in prayer. Where there is no prayer, there is no fire. Prayer is a movement, an action, something that propels us forward!
God wants to do so much in your life, but He works in stages of growth. We live in a world that wants to harvest before we plant. But the seed of God's Word is scattered throughout our lives, and we can expect growth from it; we just have to wait for it to do its work.
| Rev. Nathan Thompson | Some life seasons seem out of control, and it feels like a hopeless situation will win. But God can resurrect life out of any brokenness. Life CAN begin again, through the power of the one true God!
We can prevail in prayer even when we feel like we cannot prevail in life. If we can't see ourselves prevailing, we need to get into the presence of God and spend time in prayer. THEN the supernatural WILL happen.
"It's not always what it looks like" Many times God is moving in ways we can't see. Our faith moves us in tandem with the Spirit of God, to accomplish His will in our lives.
The word of God defines guardrails that keep us on God's path. When we stay in the ways of the Lord, we will be blessed. The spiritual guardrails save us from spiritual damage and even death.
Many people spend a lot of time talking to God. But isn't it so much more important to listen for what God wants to say to us? How can we walk with God if we don't even hear what He's saying to us? We need His voice guiding us every single step of the way.
God's grace is a gift given to us. But if we never open the gift, or allow it to live in us and change us to obedience to Christ. This is where we find salvation, and everything we need. Don't waste the gift of God's grace!
When we are faithful to our identity in Christ, God will be faithful to perform what He has promised! Do we have the kind of faith to honor our God-given identity, no matter what the outcome? We must cling to the identity of our creation in the image of God.
God has a purpose for every life. To have successful relationships we must seek God's face first. He will heal our brokeness and make us whole and ready for a marriage that follows His purpose.
It's important to re-visit our relationships and their meaning... God began everything with a relationship between Himself and mankind. If you're seeking first God's purpose in your life, God will give you provision for your other relationships.
Spiritual consistency is necessary in order to be used by God. We have to be renewed daily by the power of God's spirit that lives in us. Revival is only possible when the lines are clear. God has spoken the path we can follow to have a renewal in our spirit.
We all have pain in our lives, but God calls us to surrender the pain. Every moment of surrender to God is significant. Our surrender has eternal significance not just for us, but for the generation to follow.
The spiritual discipline of fasting is a sacrifice of our flesh. When we submit to this consecration, power is added to our faith and we'll find that we can hear God's voice more clearly.
We are called to awaken ourselves and be led to revival by the power of the Holy Ghost. If we invest our faith in the impossible and move toward it, we will see revival in our churches!
Jesus was both Son of Man and Son of God, Jehovah wrapped in flesh. This gave Him authority on earth, as well as spiritual authority to enact the plan of redemption. The beauty of the Christmas story is Emmanuel, God with us!
After a lifetime of evil, king Manasseh found forgiveness through repentance. If God can mightily use a broken, sinful man like that, think about what he can do with us if we would just come to God with a true repentive heart!
| Bishop John E. Putnam | While they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them.
God reaches to us with a Heavenly hope. He's the ultimately good Father that seeks to "parent"us with love and hope. When we let His Spirit be our guide, we will have Heaven in our homes.
If we release ourselves to God, He will put His goodness back into our lives. Our approach to God with Thankfulness will open our hearts to hear what God would speak.
| Rev. Mike Brownie | Teaching about prayer and challenging us to change the way we pray.
| Rev. Joe Zirpoli | All of us have issues, sins, and baggage. But when we acknowledge our need of the Savior, He will draw close to us. Our honesty will bring us to the point of understanding our need for the forgiveness and mercy that God so freely offers.
| Rev. Joe Zirpoli | We can break free from sin, addictions, fear, and spiritual bondage when we turn to God and let Him do His work in our lives. The only thing holding us back is our next decision. God's Freedom is for everyone, through His power and our choice!
When life gets us down, we have to listen for the rhythm of Heaven. Our miracle is not in what we've lost, but in what God has prepared for us next!
Many cultures--ONE Christ, ONE race--the human race, ONE blood--the blood of Jesus that covers the sins of the World! I AM GLOBAL! Because God reached to me, I am compelled to reach to others! I will have a heart to share with others what I have taken the time to seek.
Life has a way of giving us bad news at times, but we have hope in the Great I am. He is my provider, my healer, my peace, my salvation and His name is Jesus Christ. He is THE GREAT I AM!
Standing against broken things, broken systems, or broken people does nothing to change the world. Standing FOR the Lord is a stance of honor to the Holy One. Spiritual success is seen in our stance. Stay Standing!
God expects us to ACT, even when it's easier to be slothful in our christian walk. Growing is painful! But through our growth, we bring glory to the One True God!
God is faithful to us. We can count on God in any situation. But can God count on us? Will we be His hands and feet? Will we be committed and faithful to Him?
We measure by what we see and by our feelings. God is always moving and working, whether we see it or believe it. God can do MORE with our trust, than we could ever do on our own!
Everything good in life has some kind of filter; we have water filters, air filters, camera filters and many others. But the Holy Ghost is the most important filter in our lives that keeps us safe from spiritual attacks that we cannot see. The filtered life is the good life!
| Rev. Nathan Thompson | God's Spirit has never stopped blowing over us. He's the same God: Healer, Deliver, Savior of the world!!
God Almighty made a vessel (body) in order to perform the redemption process. Now He asks if we would willingly give Him our vessel (body) for Him to use for His glory.
| Rev. Robert Kurz | The problem in our homes is our hearts. The #1 physical disease is cardio-vascular disease. The #1 spiritual disease is the heart of man. The cure to this is complete surrender of our hearts to Jesus Christ!!
God has forgiven us for a sin-debt that we could never pay! We are supposed to to forgive others the same way God has forgiven us! If we don’t forgive others, we cannot have God’s forgiveness.
Forgive what you can’t forget… There is freedom in forgiveness!
| Carla Gannon | Kids’ Life Sunday in the science lab with the great Professor Nutbalm!
Blessing comes from the position of proper authority and submission. When God blesses us, it cannot be retracted. He’s everything a Father should be!
There is a high cost for clean-up… but God has made a way for us to be cleansed from the stain of sin! Water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is the method by which we are clean. All we have to do is obey the scripture.
God’s promises have already been given. We have to stop talking ourselves out of them! We need to speak courage into our lives… Be strong! Be courageous! Meditate on God’s Word and see the promises of God fulfilled in your life!
Fear, worry, doubt, anxiety, depression, the burden of sin… There is freedom in giving Jesus complete Lordship!
| Rev. Joeseph Florea | If we have never experienced the low valleys of life than we will never be able to reach the mountain tops that God has planned for us. Do not be discouraged if you are facing a lot of pain; because it is in pain when you will realize who God really is!
After going through “enlistment”, or conversion, we have to get suited and booted to be ready for anything that comes our way. Spiritual wickedness comes against us on every side, but we can be ready! We are commanded to STAND firm in the power of God.
Jesus always moves away from religious drama and toward the broken and hurting. Jesus goes out of His way to find and minister to those who others would find worthless. He is the resurrection and anything He touches has to come to life!
So many men want to be God, but only ONE God wanted to be a man! He had to die to be resurrected…LOVE IS ALIVE!
While the world struggles with the loss of identity, we can stand confident in WHO we are and WHAT we are because of who we place our allegiance WITH. We still need a Messiah.
Hopelessness = a world that makes their problems big and their God small. Shifting our focus to how big, how awesome, how miraculous our God is will revive the hope that seems to be dead. There is HOPE in God!
We are so overwhelmed with urgent things that we forget the important things. We must create space for God to work. It’s impossible to recieve what we are praying for if our space/spirit is cluttered.
God has deliverance for EVERY weary soul! Bring your burdens, your sins, your wounds, and your scars… Jesus can deliver you and give you a new life in Him!
God has a purpose for everyone of our lives. He wants us to live with intentions and be intentional in all that we do!
Only God, our creator, can bring our purpose to the surface. He has intentionally made us to be For This Moment, to bring glory to His name!
If we follow God’s pattern, we will find His fruit produced in our lives. Our patterns bring frustration and pain, but God’s patterns bring good fruit and His perfect will.
| David Meyer | The gospel was given for our salvation, but was never meant to be just “ours”. We are called to be God’s messengers & reach out to those who are lost & hurting.
What if we were willing to lose this whole world, but gain our soul? Love will cost you everything, because love is for losers!
God will not release transforming power to a conforming church. He wants to transform us completely, renew our minds, and give us a new life.
God is well able to be the triumph in our tragedies. We have to continually reset our hearts back to faith in the promisee of God.
Deep revelation can only come with a deep relationship. Dive into God’s Word without reservation or fear and see the beauty below the surface!
We try to “turn over a new leaf” to improve ourselves, but so often we fail. When we choose to let God make us new, nothing is impossible for Him!
WholeHearted ~ In our marriages ~ In our homes ~ In the Church ~ For missions ~ For our community
There is beauty in balance. Our stress can be counter-balanced by God’s rest. Our broken lives are counter-balanced by the cross. God brings beauty to our lives!
| Rev. Mark Harris | God picks us up out of our brokeness and makes us complete and whole in Him! We are precious in God’s sight. We are of VALUE to Him!
The struggle is a real part of every life. But we can do ALL things through Christ! God’s Spirit gives us the joy we need to overcome any struggle.
The Spirit enables us to bear fruit. The location of your roots (what source they tap into) determines the quality of your fruits. A blessed life is produced from the fruit of the Spirit.
| Rev. Joe Zirpoli | His Name is high above every name. Live your faith out loud and Proclaim the Name. The name that has all power and authority. When we Proclaim the Name we are putting His name in it’s proper place.
It is necessary to let the Holy Ghost realign us on a daily basis. If we put on the mind of Christ through the power of His Spirit, He will re-position us and give us new provision!
The cross of Calvary was our Great Escape from sin. We need to be determined to point the way of escape for others who are lost their sin. Jesus is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance!
Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah’s favor with God. Great favor from God comes to us through our level of commitment. Draw near to God and he will draw near to you!
Who do you say God is? When we identify who He is, He can then identify who we are in Him. Our declarations power our deeds. Decisions Declarations Deeds
How do we stand strong? The strength of your stand is determined by the depth of our surrender to God.
When we place REAL faith in God, He proves himself as almighty God over and over in our lives. Regardless of the consequences, real faith chooses to take a stand for Christ!
It’s easy to lose faith… in life, in others and in our own abilities. For this reason, God says “Have faith in God!” He is all we need for continued faith.
Have you ever had to worship God while waiting for Him to act on your behalf? When you give God your worship in the good & bad moments it ACTIVATES God’s annointing over your life.
What is in you is greater than whatever problem or issue that you are facing today, you can recover from any dilemma because your destiny is greater!
God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind. Fear Not for the Lord is with you!
When we are overwhelmed we must hold onto the promises of God until we see them come to pass. Investing our faith in God’s promises will always have a great return!
Your success is found where you are rooted. If you root yourself in God you will be a story of success for His Kingdom.
Your lifestyle will ultimately determine your story. What story would you want your life to tell? Your story can be a legacy by the life you live and the lifestyle you lead.
Have you ever wondered exactly what kind of spirits exist, and what are their functions? Do you feel like the world is getting so dark that the Church is at a disadvantage? Parents, do you feel like you can’t keep up with the ungodly influence of media and entertainment on your children? What kind of things can I do to guard my heart, my mind, and my home?
God intended His church to be progressive. No direction and no effort equals no progress. God provides the direction and we must put in the effort. Then we will see progress in our lives!
God will never leave us or forsake us. It grieves Him when we choose to be lost. Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. Choose Jesus, and receive abundant life!
We can make plans but God designs our steps… Be intentional with your story, put a spiritual plan in place and ask the Lord to order your steps.
The parable of forgiven debt can be our story… The debt of sin is more than we can pay, but God’s spirit can set us free!
God has provided you the miracle you need… It’s already a part of your story! Allow God to use your story for His greater glory.
No matter what type of relationship you’ve had with your father or as a father, God can bring healing to any situation. He is the good, good Father!
Sometimes God seems to be “late” to our situations. But if God always met our expectations, He would never have the opportunity to exceed them!
Sometimes God is completely silent and we wonder if He’s really there. Does He even care?
Jesus was our replacement for sins requirement of death. He died in our place and fills us with His Spirit so that we can have a victorious life!
God accompanied the revelation of Himself in flesh with a new name, Jesus. It is the name of supreme power and authority, the only saving name, the name given for remission of sins, and the highest name ever revealed!
Salvation was paid for in the gospels, but it was RECEIVED on the Day of Pentecost. The promise of the Holy Ghost is for everyone! You can experience Pentecost for yourself!
Mother’s play an essential role in building God’s House. When we do not have a physical mother, the church is meant to fill that role.
God has chosen us as His temple, a place for His spirit to dwell on earth. He calls us to be holy with His Holiness!
We cannot run with the crowd and walk with God. God delivers us and wants our praise, but then He wants to dwell with us. He is building His house in us!
Life can feel like a pile of “Dry Bones”. When we see no life, no hope, and no future, God steps in to resurrect and restore us!
With faith and God-given courage, we can decide to do what is right, over what is easy.
“Choose this day whom you will serve…”
“I am the Living One. I died, but look—I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave.” Revelation 1:18
The work of the cross was finished at Jesus’ resurrection! Sin is forever conquered.
The prophet Isaiah surrendered his life to God’s plan…”Here I am, SEND ME”. This “dangerous prayer” is life-changing for those who are willing to let God have control of their lives.
Life guarantees that we all will have times of brokenness. We can either run to God in these moments, or run from God. When we run to Him, and break wide open, fully depending on Him, He will bring healing to our brokenness.
Life’s GREATEST breaking’s often lead to God’s GREATEST blessings!
| Rev. Ryan Neer | God frees us from sin and fills us with His Spirit. Your past is meant to be a PUSH to move you forward in God’s miraculous plan!
God’s love is a “NOW” love. He loves us in the present, in spite of what we may have done in our past, or may do in our future. He invites us into real rest, because His perfect love casts out all fear.
The world’s definition of love cannot come close to representing what true love AGAPE LOVE, truly is. God is obsessed with loving us!
“Winning Is Everything”. We can only overcome sin and our fleshly desires through the power and authority of Jesus Christ!
Jesus is the way, truth, and life when we acknowledge Him in all our ways and make His way our way. He makes our steps sure and our path straight.
Jesus is the way, truth, and life when we acknowledge Him in all our ways and make His way our way. He makes our steps sure and our path straight.
Do you feel like your life path isn’t going where you had hoped? Every life path leads somewhere. When we look to God’s Word to help us choose our path, God will guide us to the best destination!
We pursue so many things in life that bring only temporary satisfaction, or no satisfaction at all. What pursuits will bring true joy and contentment? Find out what God’s Word says about it!
Thanksgiving isn’t just a holiday…it’s what gives us a life of victory and joy in the Lord!
Are you a disciple, or just a “Christian”?
Are you following Jesus Christ, or just taking a walk with other Christians?
What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus?
He promised that those who follow Him will be followed by greater works than that which Jesus Himself did!
There is power in following Jesus Christ!
God is in control of the outcome. We must choose not to replace what God has placed in our lives.
| Rev. Joe Zirpoli | God has amazing things that He wants to give to His children! The approach to Him must be done in humility, and then you will find what He has for you. Ask, and ye shall receive….
“Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing has happened.” ~ Winston Churchill
| Rev. Joe Zirpoli | Have you ever heard of the saying “its your call”. Stop worrying about what everyone else thinks, stop thinking about what you want. God has a call on your life and it’s your call to choose his way or your way.
God has given us keys to unlocking His Kingdom effect on our lives. Faith is the first KEY in this new sermon series: “Keys to the Kingdom”.
God wants to pour out His Spirit and blessings on those who seek Him. In every change of season, we must remember to seek God and live our witness!

We need to be anchored in our relationships, our experiences, and in Biblical doctrine. God’s Word gives us instruction for 2 types of baptism…you will want to study and apply what He has planned for us!!
| Rev. Brandon Ball | Do you need to be refreshed? Has life worn you out? Jesus is the One who can truly refresh your spirit and give you new life!!
Our deepest needs can only be met by the One who made us, the One who loves us, the One who gives us eternal satisfaction.
Our choices affect our family for generations to come. God promises that righteous living will bring blessings that flow to the next generation.
We can be so distracted by the stress of living in “perilous times” that we miss our miracle. We need to hear the voice of God louder than the distractions, even when He speaks softly.
The flow of God’s Spirit establishes the church. We find the most refreshment when we surrender to His work, His will, and His way.
If you need a refresh, if you are spiritually thirsty and need a time of refreshing, God has more for you through the Holy Ghost!
“…If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.” John 7:37
Just as we get dehydrated in the natural, we can also get dehydrated in the spiritual. Jesus Christ is the Living Water that makes us never thirst again!
We need the power of the Holy Ghost to help us follow the Heavenly Father! Above all else, we want to be like Him….
It’s easy to wonder where God is during our dark times…but He has a plan. If we trust the process, it always brings victory!
Are you overwhelmed? Do you feel like you are in over your head? These are moments when total faith and trust in God will create space for your miracle!
Faith must be present to understand how wide, how long, how high, and most importantly how DEEP our God loves us. We cannot go deeper with God unless we believe He is working with us and for us, not against us.
“Her children arise up, and call her blessed…” Proverbs 31:28
Join us as we celebrate our mothers!

God has given us an inheritance that is priceless! We must be passionate about taking hold of the inheritance , and live an overcoming life!
Death couldn’t hold Him and the grave couldn’t keep Him, because HE IS the Resurrection and the Life!
Join us as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ!
