The Christian life is a led life and the ultimate leading we see is in the word. Greater than what you hear is the person the Lord is making you as you follow His leading. Receiving divine leading requires a heart for His Word, a knowledge of His ways, and a heart for His will. We were also reminded to abort haste and keep praying until His leading is clear, knowing that He is a patient guide. Hit play and do well to share with someone who needs this!

We continued our teaching series Maps and Metronomes as Pastor Nelson taught on How God Leads 2. God often leads in very natural ways, and when we look for one specific kind of leading, we can miss the leading itself. What matters is discerning what He's saying, not how we expect Him to say it. He leads through His voice, His Word, common sense, dreams and visions, wise counsel, the gifts of the Spirit, ministry gifts, and His providence. Hit play and share with someone who needs this!

We continued our teaching series Maps and Metronomes as Pastor Nelson taught on How God Leads.  Being led by God is not just about where He leads us, but who we become as we follow Him. Our heart posture matters, and God’s leading often comes through the Holy Spirit, and so If we can be led by the Holy Spirit morally, how much more directionally and in every area of our lives? We were reminded that through devotion, we become more able to perceive God’s leading through the inward witness and the desires He stirs in our hearts.  Hit play and do well to share with someone who needs this!

We began a new teaching series MAPS AND METRONOME Pastor Nelson opened this new series with SHEEP AND SHEPHERD, showing that leading starts with knowing the God who is good, sovereign, kind and in control. Seeking leading means you are submitted to leader, and being led requires relationship, submission and a heart that seek to follow His voice alone. God is a master communicator. The goal is not to chase formulas, tips and tricks but to build a relationship with Him and trust His ability to lead Hit play and do well to share with someone who needs this!

We continued the teaching series RAPHA with Divine Health!In today’s teaching, Pst Nelson reminded us that miracles are a teaching aid to remind us about Gods power and faithfulness. And we must trust the finger print of the divine in everything area of our life.Divine health also requires wisdom—controlling our desires, eating well, fasting, resting, and living in moderation. Faith, wise choices, and common sense all have a place in caring for what God has entrusted to us. Hit play and do well to share with someone who needs this!

Faith is not misplaced trust. Faith is informed trust. Today, we were reminded to pay attention to what God has said, speak His Word, and let His Word speak back to us. Our words are an expression of our faith, and as we consistently declare what God has said, the tenacity of our faith is built. We don't murmur or speak contrary to His Word. We choose to speak what He has said and trust Him, even when we cannot yet see it.

During the evening session of One Special Meeting, we looked at Psalm 27:1–4 and were reminded of the place of devotional practices in helping us see God more clearly. As we intentionally spend time with God, we grow in our fellowship with Him and become more aware of who He is. We learn to gaze upon His beauty and seek Him, not just for what He can give us, but because we desire to know Him.

Nobody can teach hunger. It is the one thing that cannot be transferred, manufactured, or imitated. When a believer sins and feels nothing, something far more serious than the sin itself is at work. Hunger is what drives us to the place of devotion, and without it, we drift further than we ever intended to go. Devotional practices are not religious habits. They are the means through which we begin to see. If we do not fellowship with God, the realities that belong to us as believers will never become real to us in experience. What God has made available and what we actually walk in are two very different things, and the gap between them is often a hunger problem. Hit play and share this episode with someone whose hunger for God needs to be stirred back to life.

Faith is acting on and living by the Word of God. We were reminded that our confession should be consistent with what God has said, especially in difficult situations. The tenacity of faith is seen in our ability to keep holding on to God even when we cannot see the outcome we are believing for. It is trusting His Word in the middle of contrary situations and refusing to let what we see become greater than what God has said. Faith is believing God, knowing that He is faithful and that His Word remains true. Even when the journey is difficult, we keep trusting Him, holding on to His promises, and walking according to His instructions. Faith is not just believing God for what He can do. It is continuing to trust Him because of who He is.

FAITH IS NOT A FORMULA, IT IS A RELATIONSHIP. In the afternoon session of Day 2, we continued learning what it means to truly walk by faith. We were reminded that faith begins where the will of God begins. It is following God, trusting His wisdom, and allowing His will to take precedence over our own desires. Faith is not about commanding God or trying to make Him do what we want. Sometimes, when we cannot see His hand, we have to trust His heart. Faith means trusting His wisdom even when we do not understand what He is doing. It is also the consistency of our confession, even in difficult seasons. Faith is a relationship with God, built on trust, obedience, and confidence in His faithfulness.

Day 2 began with a deeper look at what faith truly is. We were reminded that faith is used in different contexts, but at its core, faith is about trusting God and trusting His faithfulness. Faith is not denying facts, and it is not a formula where believing hard enough guarantees a particular outcome. It is about aligning with God, trusting His Word, following His instructions, and continuing to trust Him even when things do not happen the way we expected. Faith is not one size fits all. It is not a system. Faith is a relationship. We hope you were blessed by today's message. See you in the afternoon session.

On Day 1 of Camp Meeting, we were reminded that we are saved by grace through faith. Faith is not simply agreeing with what God has said. It is believing His Word and responding to it. Through the account of the man born blind in John 9, we were reminded that Jesus came to open our eyes, not only physically but spiritually. He is the light that enables us to see. We were also challenged to examine the place of the Gospel in our lives and to remember that salvation is not something we can achieve by our own works or righteousness. Faith means trusting God's Word today and continuing to believe Him tomorrow. It is a daily walk of believing, obeying, and holding on to what He has said. As we continue through Camp Meeting, may our eyes remain open to the light of God's Word, and may our faith be strengthened in Him.

We continued the teaching series RAPHA, with Healing Means. In today's teaching, Pastor Nelson unpacked the connection between forgiveness and healing, showing how scripture reveals that sin and sickness can be connected. Jesus has dealt fully with sin, and we can trust Him for healing too. Jesus healed people in different ways, and God can use different means to bring healing- prayer, faith, anointing oil and the laying of hands. Hit play and share with someone who needs to encounter the God who heals.

We just kicked off RAPHA, The God Who Heals! Pastor Nelson opened this new series showing that Jesus is the Healer, and faith holds firmly to what God has said even when our experience looks completely different. If Jesus died for our sin which is the fullness how much more the shadow which is sickness.Hit play and share with someone who needs to encounter the God who heals.

The Church is not just a building you attend. It is a place of safety, growth, accountability, and maturity, and Pastor Nelson brought clarity to that truth in a powerful way this Sunday. Through questions from members, he unpacked what it means to gather as the Body of Christ and why the assembly of the saints is something we must never take lightly or reduce to routine. God has given ministry gifts specifically to equip the saints, and everything that happens when we come together carries weight. Communion, baptism, fellowship: none of it is ordinary, even when familiarity tempts us to treat it that way. Every gathering is an intentional act of God working in and through His people, and we rob ourselves when we show up without that awareness.
