Unfulfilled | The Success Exodus

June 09, 2021 03:00 - 41 minutes - 28.8 MB

Success. Achievement. Fulfillment. Do these things mean the same to us as they do to Jesus? It's easy to say "YES" without much thought - but take a minute. Think about it. Your schedule. Your calendar. Where you spend your time or your finances. Are these things filling you up... or stressing you out. Let’s go to Jesus together this month and ask Him to show us his definition of success and fulfillment! We meet every Sunday at 9 and 11 am in the Rogers 18 Theatre. Our Kid's Ministry is ...

SPEAK | A Million Voices

May 25, 2021 14:00 - 43 minutes - 29.8 MB

There are a million voices all vying for your attention. Every day, every tweet, every news feed has its own demand and distractions from what God could be speaking in the stillness. Pastors Brandon and Heidi talk about hearing from the Lord and how David listened to God instead of his peers. This is what set him apart and positioned him to be promoted to King of Israel. We meet every Sunday at 9 and 11 am. in the Rogers 18 Theatre. Our Kid's Ministry is currently open for ages Birth-Grade...

May 20, 2021 03:00 - 39 minutes - 27.4 MB

God has a promise for you and He will continue to move you towards it - no matter what goes on around you.

SPEAK | Buried Treasure

May 13, 2021 02:00 - 37 minutes - 26.1 MB

What is the buried treasure you're digging for? When we limit ourselves to what WE want, we miss out on the fullness of what HE wants for us. God has the perfect plan and path for your life.

Your treasure is waiting for you at just the right time. “Heaven’s kingdom realm can be illustrated like this: “A person discovered that there was a hidden treasure in a field...

SPEAK | Created to Speak

May 05, 2021 18:00 - 51 minutes - 35.5 MB

We are created to speak. All of creation started with a word from God. Our salvation hinges on the words we confess from our mouth. Our experiences in life are intimately connected to the words we speak. There may be a mountain standing in the way... but God sees a river of life rushing towards you. When we choose to SPEAK life and SPEAK the Word of God, it will either move the mountain or it will move our minds into a new place that propels us into His perfect will. _____ Jesus replied, “L...

April 21, 2021 03:00 - 43 minutes - 29.7 MB

Jesus was in the middle. He was in the middle of the crowd. In the middle of the storm.

Human God | Hush

April 12, 2021 19:00 - 42 minutes - 29 MB

Hush. Rest. Peace. Jesus is not afraid of your storms.  He is not worried about the most unstable parts of your life. In fact, he will bring his rest to you right in the middle of your circumstances.

Storms are simply signs that you are sailing toward your destiny and God is using a problem to propel you into your purpose.  We meet every Sunday at 9 & 11 am in the Rogers 18 Theatre. Our Kid's Minist...

EASTER SERVICE

April 07, 2021 02:00 - 40 minutes - 27.9 MB

The stone was not rolled away for Jesus to get out of the tomb. It was rolled away so you could gain access to the sin destroying, death defeating, victorious life that God has planned for you! Jesus walked out of that tomb - and INSTEAD of going right to the throne of God, He spent time here on the earth with the people he loved. This is who he is - and he still stays with us through any circumstance we face today. No matter what, He will come find us - to remind us that the work is accompl...

Human God | Upstream

March 29, 2021 18:00 - 52 minutes - 36.1 MB

Jesus swam upstream. Everything he did was counter to the culture that he lived in. Even in his death on the cross - Jesus was focused on his destiny to bring new life into this world. Swimming upstream against the current seems like it would be a lot of work... but for Jesus, it came naturally. It was who he was. It is who he is. He could approach any challenge from a place of rest, knowing that His father was working all things out on his behalf.  When we swim upstream - and against the ...

Human God | Sculpture or Savior

March 25, 2021 00:00 - 37 minutes - 25.8 MB

When you think of Jesus do you picture a sculpture or a savior? A person or a portrait? Jesus is not a list of religious rules.

March 17, 2021 03:00 - 38 minutes - 26.8 MB

The Human God series continues as Pastor Heidi Lyles shows us how Jesus cut through stereotypes and religious boundaries just to show the love of the Father.   Jesus came to rewrite the story of religion into a beautiful love story found only in relationship.

Human God | Blasphemy Or Intimacy

March 09, 2021 03:00 - 33 minutes - 22.8 MB

Human God. Does that sound like an intimate expression of God's love or blasphemy that should never be spoken? The truth is that religion separates God from man. Its relationship that brings God to man. Jesus was just as human as you and I. He relished a relaxing day on the lake, loved working and creating with his hands, enjoyed the occasional barbecue on the beach, cut a rug at weddings, and was always hungry for a good adventure. Religion will tell you that he floated around on a puffy c...

January 12, 2021 04:00 - 42 minutes - 29 MB

With God, timing is everything and nothing is impossible.

Renew Year | Awakening Lazarus

January 05, 2021 04:00 - 41 minutes - 28.7 MB

Don't give up on the things God has put in your heart. Things that you sacrificed in 2020 may not be dead and gone - they were just on hold. Timing is everything! The story of Lazarus shows that, despite our own time lines and expectations, God is always trying to find ways to move in our lives. Even though Lazarus was a good friend of Jesus, he still went through hard times. Eventually, He became very ill and died even though he walked with the Son of God in the flesh. BUT - at the right t...

Encounters | Paul

December 08, 2020 03:00 - 42 minutes - 29 MB

Maybe our most important encounters with God have nothing to do with what we see happening on the outside, but more to do with what He desires to transform on the inside. Believers love to read Paul’s writings in the Bible. But let’s not forget who he used to be and where he came from. It was a single, eye-blinding encounter with God that changed everything…and there are more examples just like his.

Heaven In Our Community

November 19, 2020 04:00 - 34 minutes - 23.5 MB

The only way for Heaven to be real to our communities is for us to bring it to them. The life of Jesus showed us exactly how to do that.

Frustrated & Flourishing | Bring Jesus Into It

September 03, 2020 01:00 - 42 minutes - 29.2 MB

By definition and design, Jesus was programmed to flourish. So with Christ in you, by definition and design, you are programmed to flourish. Maybe you don’t feel like you’re flourishing...

August 26, 2020 02:00 - 24 minutes - 16.6 MB

Many times in church we focus on the feel-good sides of the Bible’s standout characters, like Abraham and Sarah: their incredible journeys, their unique faith, the wonderous promises God made to them. But there’s a twist to their story—another character in the plot—someone who often times gets overlooked. Her name is Hagar. Hers is a story of demotion, disillusionment, and distress. Thankfully it doesn’t end there. Despite her ongoing frustration, the Lord continues to meet with her, rescue...
