Compassion

July 31, 2022 16:38 - 55 minutes - 50.7 MB

Engaging Culture

May 15, 2022 01:19 - 54 minutes - 49.6 MB

November 28, 2021 14:26 - 1 hour - 81.7 MB

November 21, 2021 21:25 - 51 minutes - 46.8 MB

Jesus came not only to set us free but to help us actually walk in freedom! But stepping into the next level of life with God requires loosening your grip on old ways of thinking and habits that are keeping you stuck. For every one of the enemy’s lies you’ve believed, God has an incredible truth to replace it. And He never calls us to give up something unless He has something better. What do you need to let go of so that you can embrace the new He has for you?

A Mind Made New

November 14, 2021 17:13 - 44 minutes - 41.2 MB

The enemy’s oldest trick is to get us to believe lies about who God is, who we are, and more. But God has given us spiritual weapons to tear down the lies, those strongholds that keep us stuck in old mindsets and from fully embracing what He has for us. He is calling us to a place of friendship, freedom, and peace. It’s available to all of us, but our minds have to be renewed. No matter where you are, you have a good Father in heaven who is ready to give you His truth. Will you rece...

Confronting Compromise

November 07, 2021 15:57 - 48 minutes - 44.3 MB

“… one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead…” (Philippians 3:13 NASB) Do you know what it cost our Savior not just to give you eternal life but abundant life? Jesus came to set you free so that you would walk in complete victory! But to break unhealthy cycles and move forward, we have to forget the past and confront areas where we have compromised.

The Generous God

October 17, 2021 13:27 - 50 minutes - 46.5 MB

There’s something about love that produces generosity. Think about it this way: God so loved the world that He GAVE… When we give, we are called to do so out of the overflow of all that He, the One who breathed life into our lungs, has given to us. When we love others, we’re generous with our time, our affection and, yes, our money—which is the number one competitor against God in our lives. To be people free from the trap of greed, we have to allow the truth of His extravagant gene...

Why I Tithe

October 10, 2021 16:24 - 50 minutes - 46.5 MB

We have a generous God! In giving us His son, Jesus, He gave us His BEST. When we come face-to-face with the selfless love of God and embrace it, we take on His nature and become givers, too. Because when we truly grasp just how much God cherishes us and then open ourselves up to Him, we will want to give as an expression of our adoration. In Extravagant part three, we’re making room for God to transform our hearts, minds and our finances so we can offer Him a worthy response to the...
