His Plan Is Still In Play

January 07, 2024 10:00 - 44 minutes - 40.3 MB

Taking a closer look at the story of the Prodigal Son, Pastor J.R. helps us see that this story is the biography of every person in human history put into a parable. It’s the story of our relationship with God. At different times in our life, we all have taken steps away from God and towards sin's broken promises. But one humbling truth remains, God still loves you even as you wander into the darkness. His plan is still in play! He doesn't wait until you come back with your life perfectly ...

Always. Sometimes.

December 17, 2023 10:00 - 42 minutes - 38.8 MB

Based on what the Bible says about giving, there are two basic principles of giving: Always a portion. Sometimes a sacrifice. Pastor J.R. dives into what this means for us as believers and getting our heart right with God when we're preparing to give. This single step helps us decipher what is a gift out of joyful obedience and what is Spirit-led generosity. As we get ready for the expansion offering this weekend, take time today to watch, rewatch or listen for practical help on what this c...

Getting Past My Past

October 08, 2023 10:00 - 40 minutes - 36.7 MB

Due to the pain we've experienced in our past, our negative thoughts and emotions can end up taking control of our present situations and dictating our current behaviors. We can mistakenly believe there's something wrong with us, even if what happened to us wasn't our fault. Too many times we hear our enemy screaming into our ear - "Look what you've done!" But God wants us to be set free from our shame. In his message, "Getting Past Your Past," Pastor Troy Haas shows us the steps Jesus wan...

The Mind Gym

October 01, 2023 10:00 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MB

So many of the emotions we experience are dictated by the thoughts we think. And if we're not careful, we can end up trapped in our feelings - all because we don't know how to break free from the thoughts we're thinking, ultimately leading us into our battles of depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. In his message, "The Mind Gym," Pastor Daniel Lucas helps us unlock the secret of identifying the strongholds that hold us captive to our negative mindsets and teaches us how to fight our spi...

September 10, 2023 10:00 - 44 minutes - 41.1 MB

God's provision can be so much more than just financial. It can also be emotional, relational, physical, mental, or even spiritual. But in order to receive God's provision in our lives, it involves a few steps. In his message, "TLF," Pastor Pete Hixson reveals to us that it's through trusting, listening, and then following God's direction that leads us to the place of God's provision. And as we start to receive God's provision, we begin to realize that God will provide for you, God will p...

September 03, 2023 10:00 - 46 minutes - 42.8 MB

Making Ripples

August 27, 2023 10:00 - 37 minutes - 34.6 MB

Is there really a purpose to life? This is a question every single person has asked. And the answer has tremendous implications... Because if there is no purpose, we should just live our lives doing whatever we want, as so many people already do. But what if there is a purpose to life and we're not just aimlessly here for no reason? What if the purpose of life is be a life that is loved and embraced by our Creator? And as we're changed by Him, we become a life that then touches a life - tha...

👀 Looking Like Christ 👀

August 20, 2023 10:00 - 35 minutes - 32.9 MB

As followers of Jesus, God calls us to not only believe in Jesus - but to become like Jesus. Knowing how much we fall short, this can certainly seem intimidating, if not impossible. But becoming like Jesus has never been about earning a certain position before God - as Jesus has already completed this work for us; but instead practically working out our faith that God has already placed inside of us so that we can one day look back and see all that God has done through us. In his message, "...

Spirit Led Life

August 13, 2023 10:00 - 37 minutes - 34.6 MB

Everyone is being led by someone. Some are led by sin. Many are led by others. Few are led by the Holy Spirit. But who we choose to follow will determine the outcome of our lives. In his message, "A Spirit Led Life," Pastor Mike Santiago not only shows us where the Spirit leads us, but also explains how to be led by the Spirit - so that we can continue to become the people God has created us to be and experience the full life God desires for us to live.

Shut Up Shame

July 30, 2023 10:00 - 35 minutes - 32.7 MB

Shame has a way of shutting us up. We believe so many lies, such as - "I deserve this," or "People don't care," or "It's not worth mentioning," or "They're just going to look down on me." But the truth is everyone has something they're fighting in the background. And we all need people in our lives who've earned the right to be trusted who we can share with what's really going on. Otherwise, we're left to suffer in silence. In his message, "Shut Up Shame," Pastor Lamar Hardwick gives us e...

What Every Man Needs To Hear

June 18, 2023 10:00 - 39 minutes - 36.3 MB

Being a father can be hard. Being a husband can be hard. And honestly, being a man can be hard.

Lee takes the opportunity on Father's Day to share what every man needs to hear.

June 11, 2023 10:00 - 37 minutes - 34.5 MB

Every family can easily fall victim to various generational curses.

Lee shows us how we have the power to change our families forever as our God-given desires finally become our new reality.

Grace in the Gap

June 04, 2023 10:00 - 45 minutes - 41.6 MB

Between our brokenness and our breakthrough there's a tremendous gap that must first be filled. Will we be fearful or courageous, untrustworthy or faithful, passive or intentional?

In week 1 of "Be A Man," Pastor J.R. leads us to look to God's Word for what our Creator tells us are the "Responsibilities of Manhood."

Know Your Worth

May 14, 2023 10:00 - 44 minutes - 40.7 MB

Whether you're a mom celebrating Mother's Day or not, we all face struggles and even seasons of storms in our lives, which ultimately reveal how the strong the foundation of our lives really is. In this message, "Know Your Worth," Pastor J.R. Lee leads us to challenge the 5 lies we all face in the midst of our toughest seasons of life: 1). I Am What I've Got 2). I Am What I Do 3). I Am What Others Think Of Me 4). I Am Nothing More Than My Worst Moment 5). I Am Nothing More Than My Be...
