We so often confuse righteous love with righteous anger. We are not to be judge and jury for those around us but, we are to love everyone as Christ loves.

Join us for this week's message. Pastor Bob Hutchison is our guest speaker. He brings a strong message about the Kingdom of God. It is here now and it is on the move. We must be a part of it and allow the Holy Spirit to change us and root out the divisiveness in our life.

This message comes from our February 16, 2020 Sunday service. Pastor Missi brings a great word about stewarding the Gospel in our lives. The Gospel isn't something that happens to us once.

Pastor Miriam brings this week's message from our service on February 9, 2020. She shares about stepping into the light. As we draw closer to Christ we need to allow ourselves to be exposed in the light; to allow the things that hide in the dark places to be rooted out. We need to be nourished by God's light, just like the plants are nourished by the sun's light. We pray you are encouraged by this week's message!

Pastor Missi brings a great word this week! She challenges us to live a fasted life. She shares powerful examples from the Word of God; of Christ himself fasting. A fasted life is the sharpening of the axe. We can resist temptation and cut away at the hinderances that impede our walk with God. With a fasted life, we are able to walk out the call of God on our life and show the world His power that moves through us. We make Him known through our lives and our walks. We pray that you are encouraged and challenged to grow from this week's message!
This week, Pastor Missi starts out 2020 with the powerful message, "Called to Be." Sharing from the book of Daniel she shares God's heart for us in the new year. A time of fasting and being diligent and bold in our prayers. We need to be persistent and be present with God through our prayer. He wants us to be present with Him and that can only come through connection with Him through prayer.
This week Pastor Missi finishes our series. She teaches about our soon coming King! He is coming again and it's going to be different this time. He is coming back and He is coming quickly. We have to be ready. He isn't coming the same way He did last time. He brought us salvation and is coming to complete what He started. We shouldn't tremble in a sense of fear but, tremble in a sense of awe and preparedness!
Pastor Missi continues our series this week. She brings the word and challenges the congregation. Our King is returning and He is calling us to a higher calling. We are called to be kings and priests. He placed us in this culture for a reason. We are called to step up into His call on our life. The King is returning and this time it will be different. We are to be ready and preparing the way for Him.
Pastor Miriam continues our series. She speaks about the adoration of our King of Kings. This says it best, "Adoring Him makes the space to be in close proximity and intimacy with Him. You can't adore from a distance. Set everything aside and let Him in with your adoration." Be encouraged by this week's message.
Pastor Matt kicks off our December series, "King of Kings." He talks about the reconciliation that our Savior brought us when He was born in to the world. You don't want to miss minute of this.
Pastor Missi concludes this two part series about being full. She emphasizes the importance of spending time in solitude with God, while being vitally connected to the source. He is the vine, the one true source, and when we are connected to Him, He will fill us.
This week, Pastor Missi starts a special two week sermon series. The series is "Full" and is an encouragement to be vitally connected to the true source. When we are spiritually full with Jesus our lives change and, the lives of those around us change as well. We aren't the source and we can't be full of Him if we are full of self. Pastor Missi ties the sermon together with John 15. We must be connected to the vine, the one true source. Enjoy the message this week and challenge yourself as she challenges the congregation: Go into solitude with Jesus and let Him decide what you need and what is next. Let Him wrap you up in His love and get things right.
This week's message comes from Pastor Miriam. She shares from the book of Nehemiah. She weaves the story of his life into everyday application for us. We are called to be rebuilders; taking our section of wall that God has given us and rebuilding the people around us. We need to use the favor that God has given us to make an impact on our world. We pray that you are encouraged to be rebuilders to the places you are called, even the normal everyday places, and to embrace God's favor in our lives!
This message comes from our worship leader, Caleb Goins. He tells the story of the prodigal son. His message shares about the redemptive grace of our Heavenly Father and helps us examine our motives in the pursuit of Christ. We constantly have our hands out asking for more. We say, "I want more, I want more, I want more!" What are we really asking for, material things like the prodigal son did; or are we standing there saying, "Here I am God, I want more of You!" Enjoy this powerful message that challenges us to examine what we truly want.
This week Pastor Matt teaches about getting involved. He challenges and encourages us to live our lives in a way that opens the door for those around us to see Jesus. We can get involved by living for God and letting others in to see. Don't overcomplicate ministry. Live your life as you normally do and bring others into it. Let that be ministry to those around you.

In this week's episode, Pastor Missi takes us through scripture and shares about the Peace of God. His peace isn't about having a perfect life or no troubles; it is about perfect peace in the middle of the storm. We pray you are encouraged and learn from this week's message.
Pastor Miriam shares the word in this sermon. She speaks on Kingdom Culture. We should be living our lives in such a way that it doesn't make sense to the world around us. We should be leading counter-cultural lives. We are the salt and the light to the world. People shouldn't have to inspect us deeply to see the light; to see that we are different. We are the light that shines bright in the darkness. That is kingdom culture; it starts in your heart and flows out of every other area of your life.
This week our Kingdom series continues. Pastor Missi shares the word of God about laying a firm kingdom foundation. So often we lead people straight to the cross without first establishing a foundation. We should be living our lives in a way that shows the world our difference, shows why living for God is important. He created us and gave us purpose; instilled a calling inside of us. Our lives should be teaching the world the kingdom by living out our calling and exposing them to the truth. We should be leading the lost to the cross by way of establishing a kingdom foundation around them.
This week Pastor Matt starts our new series, Kingdom. We learn about being citizens of the Kingdom of God. He shares God's word, from Matthew 5, on what should be setting us apart from the world around us. People should notice a difference in us, and it should be a good difference; not a difference that makes them sour towards God. We should be salt and light. Enjoy this week's message as Pastor Matt challenges us to step up and be different. We should be set apart and noticeable in a world that desperately needs saving from moral decay. We are different in the making, so we can make a difference.

Enjoy this week's message. It is sure to be an encouragement!
Join us this week as Pastor Scott Jungers shares his last message as Senior Pastor here at Foursquare Life Church. He holds nothing back as he challenges the congregation to live with NOW faith. We should be stirring up the faith within us to bring the kingdom of God into our midst daily, everywhere we go. The kingdom is not someday in the future, it is today and everyday. We should be meeting the need, impacting those around us and taking responsibility for the brokenness; helping those who can't stand up without it.

Enjoy this week's message by Pastor Kyle and be encouraged. She takes us through Acts 3 and shares about simply loving others the way God has called us to love. Lets not make it complicated and just show the love of Jesus by doing it.
What does the "bank roll" of your life with Jesus look like? Are you: overflowing with plenty, at a zero balance or overdrawn? This week Pastor Scott shares from Luke 12:16-21 and teaches about not going broke in our relationship with Christ. It is in the deep abiding relationship with Him that we have good, life-giving fruit. It's in the fruit bearing that He is able to grow our relationship "bank roll" to overflowing and we are able to share the increase with those around us.
This week Pastor shares about having an attitude of expectancy. Sharing from Luke 21: 34-36, we should be living with an expectation of greater. Pastor Scott gives the three things that expectancy causes in our lives. We need to be eager and hungry for the things of God and allow there to be eternal perspective in our lives.
This week we hear from our most recent returned missionary. She shares about her 6 month journey with YWAM and how it changed her perspective on living life on mission. Pastor Scott concludes with encouragement and challenges us to live our life everyday on mission. We are all called and need to recognize that call in our daily lives.
Seasons of change require great grace. We need it to effectively carry out what the Father has called us to do. Teaching from Acts 4:32-35 this week, Pastor Scott shares what it looks like to grow in grace. We have to get a grasp on the depth of grace God has for us. When we understand that, the stretching and growing of our grace becomes less about us and more about the ability of our Father. His grace through us allows us to do the impossible because His grace is sufficient in all things!
Pastor Scott teaches from Mark 10:27 and Mark 9:23 this week. He shares about all the possibilities on the road ahead of us. There are great things ahead and we can accomplish them with God if we believe. Connection to the Father in relationship is key. Are we going to connect and step into the greater possibilities or mosey off into the sunset? Let us all step up into the greater and move into what he has begun to birth inside of us. He can do it because all things are possible with Him!
Using the passage of scripture from Ephesians 4:11-16 Pastor Scott teaches about change this week. Change is a sign of growth, and where there is no change there has not been growth. Pastor shares three essential actions that will bring about change in our own lives and the lives of the church. He encourages to expand our vision of things to come and to find vital connection in who Christ is. We need to become change agents in every situation we encounter and in the body of Christ daily.
The most recent team returned from Niger share their experiences for this weeks message. Be encouraged this week and challenged by what they share. They share of breakthrough, miracles and mighty things that God is doing in that country!
Pastor Matt teaches out of Acts 3 this week and shares the six lessons we should take and apply to our everyday lives. We need to learn to take part; we are on assignment every single day and we need to be actively positioning ourselves in front of God saying " I'm ready for your work." Look for the opportunities He brings across our path. When those opportunities come we need to take those moments to show His love. Don't get stuck in the mundane processes. Instead, get in step with Jesus and take part in His will for our lives.
This week Calvin Bennett is guest speaking. He shares his testimony and weaves his message of hope and challenges us to focus on the presence of God. The presence of God is so closely connected to our purpose that if you deviate from His presence you step out of His will for your life. We must focus on Him and use the pain in our lives to point us towards His presence. The pain isn't about us. it is an opportunity to draw closer. His presence and our response to pain influences our position in life. So draw near to him and position your life in His presence.
Faith matters in every area of our lives. We believe, but do we have the word of God to back up in faith what we believe? This week Pastor Scott teaches out of Mark and uses the example Peter before he denies Christ. He did not have the faith, power or maturity to back up what he believed. We need to grow in Christ and grow in power so that we are witnesses to the power of God so much so that when we say something people listen because they know it to be true. Let us all be in a growing, life-changing relationship so that we can move in power and be a blessing to those around us.
Why do we always see the barriers in a situation instead of seeing Jesus in the midst? Listen as Pastor Scott teaches on changing your perception and perspective in a situation. Bring Jesus to the center of every situation. Bring what you have and allow Him to work it out. Stop looking at your limitations and realize that with God all things are possible; because if we believe it's impossible we don't believe in Him.
Guest speaker Dan Lucero shares out of John 6 this week about what we must do to be doing the works of God. He gives practical ways to be going about doing His work everyday. God works with us where we are at; helps us to throw out our preconceived notions of structure and use our gifts to build the Kingdom where we are at. Don't hold back and do His work always.
Everyone has a purpose and every single one of us has a call on our life. We are a builder of people and God has saved us to build the kingdom of God where we are. Pastor Bob Smith teaches out of Matthew 28 and Mark 16 this week. We are empowered through Christ and He has commanded us to go and make disciples. It is time to be obedient and GO! We need to be doing what He has called us to do.

This message is a practical response to the pressures of today and is applicable in everybody's life. Give it a listen and be encouraged today.
After a time of prayer for Texas and for Niger, Pastor Jeff Martin teaches on staying connected. Jesus showed us what perfect connection with the Father looked like. He looked just like the Father. In staying connected, we should increasingly begin to look like what we are connected to. Are we connected to Jesus or other things? Is our connection and fruitfulness pointing others towards Jesus? Pastor Jeff shares what staying connected looks like and shares ways to continue to stay connected to our Father.
We as followers of Christ need to stop making a show of ourselves. We need to be real and start producing fruit. We were created in the image of God to be fruitful. Our focus needs to be on establishing the kingdom of God wherever we go, to use our blessings to be a blessing. Start living real in front of Him because the world around us needs us to be real, fruit bearing, and blessing giving people of God.
Everything Jesus did was focused on introducing the Kingdom of God to the people around Him. He was always speaking about the kingdom. Our job is to be like Him and be introducing the Kingdom to everyone around us. Join us this week as Pastor Scott teaches about living everyday focused on bringing the Kingdom of God into life. Starting doesn't have to be huge. Pastor encourages that starting with one small thing is still a step in the right direction. Members of our youth also share about their experiences of their time at camp and how one experience, a seemingly small one thing, is changing the way they do life and bringing the Kingdom of God to the forefront.
In our world today people all around us are trying to sell some form of joy. This joy is so very often fleeting and incomplete, but there is a joy that is permanent no matter what life may bring. Join us this week as Pastor Matt speaks about the joy of Jesus Christ and living a life full of joy. His joy is the anchor that keeps us attached to Him and no one can take it from us. Pastor Matt challenges us to look at our responses in life no matter the situation. We need to allow joy to be the flag of our character in every circumstance and fly it high in proclamation of who God is in our life.
Jesus was always focused on our eternal living, our lives in the here and now. The abundance that we can live in today if our soul is full. Our soul is the difference maker in how we live our lives and everything in life will rise to the level of the prosperity of our soul. This week Pastor Scott encourages us with a message of soul restoration and an abundant here and now; a life of eternal living and learning. Jesus isn't trying to fix us. He just wants us to be with Him and allow Him to restore our soul in the moments with Him. Because why trust Him for eternity but not for restoration of our soul while in the land of the living?
God's work is creation and is always making things new. He wants us to look forward to the new things He is doing in our lives. Join us this week as Pastor Scott teaches from Isaiah 43 and encourages us to look to the new things God is doing in our lives. God wants us to see beyond where we are to where we should be and allow Him to continually renew our lives to get there. Yesterday is old and today is a new day for a new work! Don't look to the past with longing. Look forward to His renewal, prepare for it, and get ready for the change that is coming in your life!
Join us this week as Pastor Miriam teaches on being transformed. She continues to build on the foundation that Pastor Missi laid in last weeks message. God's word is alive and powerful. We need to let His word breathe life into where we are and allow it to free and change us. He has not left us alone and and imprisoned. It is time to stop living as slaves and embrace the freedom and change He has given us.
What is the growth process God wants to take us through? In this week's podcast Pastor Scott takes us through 2 Peter 1 and encourages us to diligently engage in the process of growth so that we can reach out to the community around us. We all have access to the same faith, but too many of us are satisfied with talking to Moses and not going up the mountain and talking to God ourselves. The world needs us to be vitally connected and engaged in growth so that we can share His love with everyone.
We are all called and equipped for ministry. Jesus left His followers gifts. Apostles, Pastors, Prophets, Teachers, and Evangelists- He gave some to each one of us to do the work of the ministry. Enjoy this weeks message from Pastor Scott. He teaches from Ephesians chapter 4 and walks us through using the gifts given to us to live in community with those around us every day.
Happy Mother's Day! Pastor Scott gives encouragement to Mothers and to the family. We are all children of God and are His family. Pastor encourages us to remain teachable, allow ourselves to be led by the Holy Spirit, and reach those around us by making it about Jesus.
Jesus sacrificed everything for us to know Him. He laid down his life for us, and all He asks in return is for us to share that truth and make disciples, yet we have become used to the ease of church on Sundays. We have made an idol out of ease. Where it is easy to say we are making a sacrifice for Him and really we haven't fully surrendered our everything. Join us this week as Pastor Scott talks about addressing the idols in our lives and becoming obediant followers of His will.
Is your life built on the firm foundation of Jesus, Faith and Salvation? Or are you built on the foundation that will fail when troubles come your way? Join us this week as Pastor Vicki Smith shares with us what a life built on a firm foundation looks like and what we can do to get there if we are not.
This week Pastor Scott starts a series about hearing the voice of God. We should be hearing God everyday, are we listening? The more we hear Him, the more we come to know Him and recognize His voice in in our lives. Once we acknowledge and know His voice we need to choose to follow His words. Following Jesus is life and we are called and commanded to know Him and make Him known.
In this message Pastor Scott Jungers challenges us to figure out our story. God has written a special story for each and every one of our lives. When we believe in Him that is only the beginning. We are given power through Jesus Christ and what we do with that matters. We should strive to make our lives reflect the story He has written for us, not just a story of a believer who's greatest accomplishment is making it to church every week.
Pastor Matt challenges us in his message to be preparing our selves for the harvest to come. To walk through our lives daily with our eyes open to those around us. We should allow the Holy Spirit to guide us in sharing the love of christ with the lost around us. We should be asking for the eyes of Jesus in our lives and not walk past the harvest that so desperately needs reaping.
Pastor Scott encourages us this week to be sowers of faithfulness. We should be following Jesus faithfully and sharing Him with the lost because without us sharing they will never know they are lost. We need to make the way for Jesus, keep our eyes on him, but look at the harvest around us.
