(Ephesians 1:4) We can easily think of being chosen as the last pick in a game for kids – we line up against the wall, hoping that we won't be the last pick. But Paul tells us that God has chosen us for Himself even before the foundation of the world. In other words, you were not his last pick, but rather the thought upon His mind, even before He spoke: "let there be light." This choosing is both personal and w...

June 20, 2019 16:00 - 28 minutes - 26.6 MBGod is a God of breakthroughs! There is no circumstance, situation, problem, crisis, or struggle that He doesn't have a solution for. Though He may not take away the problem, He does want to be your peace, strength, and confidence in the midst of it. In this study of 2 Samuel 5:17-20, we discover that the moment the true and rightful king sits upon the throne, all the enemies rise up against him … in a similar sense, when we make Jesus Christ the true and rightful King of our lives, we must ...

34: The Rainbow People (Eric Ludy)
June 02, 2019 21:00 - 41 minutes - 38 MBA rainbow has always been the symbol of God’s unchanging nature. That is, until recently.

In this message Eric walks us through the revelation of God’s nature from the Burning Bush to the Cross and then parallels that with how ...

May 26, 2019 16:52 - 22 minutes - 20.4 MBPaul commands us to have the mind of Christ in Philippians 2:5 … but what does it mean to have His mind, what does that look like, and how do we showcase His mind in our world today, specifically in the Body of Christ.

May 23, 2019 21:00 - 51 minutes - 47 MBSpeaker: Nathan Johnson Series: The Saga of Scripture (Bible Survey) Study: 3 – The Kingdom Rejected (The Fall) In Genesis 3 we see the Fall of humanity as Adam and Eve partake of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil – blatant rebellion against God and His command not to eat of the tree. In this declaration of "independence" we find the root of every sin and temptation – to live in our own strength, resource, wisdom, and ability … rather than live dependent upon and sourced by God. In...

May 21, 2019 21:00 - 36 minutes - 33.1 MBSpeaker: Nathan Johnson Series: Ephesians Bible Study Study: 3 – Introducing Grace and Peace (Ephesians 1:1-2) Walk into nearly any church and it won't take long before you hear the words "grace" and "peace" being thrown around – yet most of us don't understand the depths of those two words are.

May 19, 2019 21:00 - 34 minutes - 32 MBThis is a unique and powerful message showcasing the transfer of the human soul from the kingdom of darkness unto the Kingdom of the dear Son. By demonstrating the vast difference between the biblical characters of Ahaz and his son Hezekiah - this epic transfer of life is beautifully seen. The conclusion: we all need to repent of our Ahaz behavior (our old man) and allow the behavior of Hezekiah (a similitude to Christ Jesus) to take over.

May 18, 2019 17:00 - 37 minutes - 34.7 MBWe are in a spiritual battle – and too many Christians wait until destruction, downfall, or depression hits before dealing with the enemy. Yet if we desire to triumph, our spiritual warfare shouldn't merely be responsive but rather tactical and preemptive. In this thought-provoking message, Dan McConnaughey (a former army ranger) uses physical warfare as a lens to view our spiritual warfare. He explains that we either give the enemy too much credit and don't live as true believers in the cir...

May 14, 2019 16:00 - 37 minutes - 34 MBSpeaker: Nathan Johnson Series: Ephesians Bible Study Study: 2 – Introductions (Ephesians 1:1-2) Though it may sound like a simple introduction, Paul's prologue (Ephesians 1:1-2) sets the foundation for the entire book of Ephesians. He declares that he is an apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will and that he is writing to the saints (holy set-apart ones who have the life of Christ within) and believers in Ephesus.

May 12, 2019 21:00 - 25 minutes - 23.1 MBOn Sunday morning, during the Daily Thunder session, Eric Ludy spoke on the concept of integrity and supplied to those present another interesting dimension to the word, unfamiliar to most.

This message was given as a precursor to the Sunday morning service at the church at Ellerslie that employed this very idea and p...
12: Traversing Chaos to Reach the One (Nathan Johnson)
May 11, 2019 21:00 - 30 minutes - 28.1 MBIn Mark 5 we find Jesus doing the unthinkable – traversing "a lake of chaos" to reach one person, in what appears to be a failure of ministry. And yet it is through this incredible transformation of the one that an entire ministry and change of a pagan region takes place soon thereafter. Join Nathan Johnson as we examine the Sea of Galilee and several stories that happened upon its banks – some of which will deepen your understanding of Scripture once you understand the geography and what is...
