Frustrated and Flourishing | Water in the Wilderness

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...

Frustrated and Flourishing

Do you believe you can still experience the presence, blessing, favor, and goodness of God amidst your frustrations? We do! We can’t count how many times in life we have given in to daily frustrations, yet God has continued to show His loving kindness and abundant blessings toward us amidst our weaknesses. It’s that unrelenting goodness of our Father God that often pulls us out of our inner turmoil—giving us a fresh and hope-filled perspective on the challenges we’re facing. We believe you’...

Special Guest Dr. James Tan

We’re so excited to welcome Dr. James Tan to LW Northwest this weekend! He is the pastor of Covenant Life Church in Jakarta, Indonesia. Not only is he a very good friend of Living Word but he has personally been one of the most influential people in Pastor Brandon and Heidi’s lives.  The Holy Spirit plays a vital role in the church. That role is not to make the message of Jesus more relevant, but to make an encounter with God more real. In fact - it is better for us to have the Holy Spirit ...

Everyone has faced or will face those certain challenges that come out of nowhere, hit you like a tidal wave, seem impossible to overcome, and require a miracle.

Overcomers | Overcoming Inequality

Pastors Ryan and Angela Watkins from our Living Word Saint Paul campus are tremendous leaders in their church and city. They join Pastors Brandon and Heidi for an open and honest conversation about inequality that exists around us. It’s impossible to deny some of the ongoing social injustices our nation is facing. Awareness of such challenges is something that permeates our society on many levels. It’s counterproductive to simply search for resolution from blogs, social media posts, or news...

Overcomers | Become & Overcome

You are an overcomer. It's built into your DNA. Pastor Brandon started our new series by reminding us of how important it is to focus on the blood of the Lamb and the powerful word of our testimonies. This year has been challenging to say the least: Australian brush fires, stock market crashes, public protests, COVID pandemics, and that is just the short list. One thing we can hold on to during these times is that we are made to overcome. It's part of who we are. For more information, vis...

Finding My Self | Pieces of Peace

No one knows who you really are and what you're truly capable of except for the One that created you. You won't find it on the news or in your social media feed. You'll only find your "self" in His presence.    In this episode, Pastor Brandon and Heidi share how God inhabits the prayers and praise of His people, and how praise can literally stand up and stand out amongst strife to change the entire environment around you.    If your first concern is to look after yourself, you’ll never find ...

The Restorative Power of Pentecost

On the first Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came to the Earth in a violent, mighty way. Why? To bring together people of different cultures and communities. To have them speak one language and act as one family. This is the way the church was designed to operate.

The Identity Illusion Pt.2

Your enemy is below you even before the battle begins. God has been planning your victory long before the conflict or chaos started. His plan is to prosper you and bring you to a place of peace, prosperity, and VICTORY.. even if he has to confuse your enemies and cause them to fight each other while you REST in His presence.

The Identity Illusion Pt.1

When we take time to remember what God has done in our lives it reminds us of who He is. This gives us a hope for what He will do next. Regardless of our season or situation, if we are in hiding or in the middle of a battle, His peace will prepares us for what is coming next.

Mother's Day

God is faithful to equip moms for the high and hard calling of being a mother. He knows just what every mom needs. He knows the needs of her children and family. Trusting Him with our kids can be hard but there is a reward for letting go and allowing God to move in their lives.

Anxiety Into Excitement

How many of you remember something called television? Before Netflix and Hulu, do you remember checking the TV Guide then setting aside a certain time in your schedule to sit down and watch your show? Every once in a while an episode would end with the dreaded phrase To Be Continued. But back then there was no such thing as “binge watching.” We had to wait!   Here’s the point: the anticipation of what was next kept us coming back for more.   Despite our current circumstances, we are anticipa...

What's Mine Is Yours | Knowing You're Growing

Seasons come and go. Sometimes we feel buried and other times we see light and life in new ways. The key is knowing we are growing as long as we focus on what God can do in our lives in any situation.

What’s Mine Is Yours | Magic Eye

There is more to this life than exhausting ourselves trying to enhance all of our individual experiences. When we can pull away from the day to day details and distractions around us, we allow God to open our eyes and show us His perspective of every situation. 

What’s Mine Is Yours | Easter Sunday

Jesus took all of our sin, guilt, and shame to hell and left them there for the devil to deal with. Those things are not us. They are not our identity. Every restless night, financial fear, and worry about what might happen was taken care of at the cross of Jesus. So what's left for us? Life. The resurrection life that Jesus bought for us along with the PROMISES of God Himself. We have been given everything that Jesus was entitled to as God's son.... and more.

What’s Mine Is Yours | Already Identity

Our new series kicked off in a powerful way. God has a specific plan for us even BEFORE we're made. He has a plan BEFORE we arrive at the situation or season. He's even planted secrets in our hearts that are waiting to grow at just the right time for us and the people around us.

Christ in the Crisis

You can't overflow unless you are full. In this season we must choose to remain in God and allow His grace and goodness to overflow out of you. He has the remedy. He has the solution. He is your protection and your peace. Just breathe.

Grace In the Garbage

Finding grace and favor can be as simple as a change in perspective. There is even grace in the places that we may have written off, discarded, or thrown away.  If we can change our perspective to stop looking at the garbage and start seeing the grace in every situation, we empower God to do amazing things in our lives.

Greater Grace

God believes in you even when you don’t believe in yourself. In your greatest failure; during your hardest trial - that’s when He shows up with the greater grace.

I Need a Bumper

God wants you to have victory in your life. It is His first priority. Regardless of your resources or relationships - God is on your side. He is good and is always looking for ways to show His goodness to you. Even in the darkest valley, in the toughest battle, or the hardest struggle - God will not leave you alone.

Rooted in Love

Love is going to be tested, but there is a place you can be where you know the Father loves you. He sees you. He will never, never, never fail because He is love. He will surround you with hope and endure everything and anything for you.

Plans For My Plans

This past Sunday, Pastor Terence and Jamie said goodbye our Northwest family. There were tear filled smiles, lots of hugs, and lots of questions. Here is what we know:God’s plan is always bigger, brighter and bolder than we can imagine. It’s not always easy. It may not even be what we were expecting - but it is Gods promise to us that He will make it work to His glory in ways we could not even imagine. Sometimes we think we have it all figured out. It looks like all the pieces are in place an...

The Power of Perspective

God can do anything as long as we keep our eyes on him and try to see things from His perspective.Joseph had an amazing, crazy, tragic and triumphant life. Through all of the ups and downs, one thing never changed; the Lord was with Joseph. Joseph always made the most out of what he had in front of him. He trusted God and God worked with Joseph through it all. In the end, Joseph was able to save his reputation, his family, and an entire nation.
