So many "Jesus-followers" spend their lives stuck in a never-ending cycle of religious striving and checking boxes, when God is calling us all into deep, intimate relationship with Him. In Scripture, David stood out as someone who really, REALLY knew God. What made him "a man after God's own heart"?

Today we celebrate all that God has done over the last 10 years as we look ahead to our bright future!

No spiritual battle is won without our most powerful weapon: prayer. What a gift it is to be able to talk to God at any moment of the day! When we pray, miracles happen, we receive strength and power, and we get to know God's heart as we are transformed to be more and more like Him.

Sometimes the best offense is a good defense, especially in this war with the flesh, the world, and the devil. It's time to take advantage of the armor that Jesus has given us! This is life or death.

The enemy gains a huge advantage in this fight when they can trap us in habitual patterns of thought that go unnoticed. These strongholds come in all varieties, but they always end up keeping us from the freedom and fullness of life with Jesus. It's time for these chains to break.

We live in a populated universe. There are many more characters in this story besides you and God, but angels and demons are probably not what you've thought them to be... What are these spiritual beings like, and how do they operate in our day to day lives?

In this war for your soul, you have a very real enemy who does everything he can to keep you from meeting Jesus. Once he loses that fight, he and his forces put their efforts into keeping you from experiencing the abundance of life that Jesus offers you. If you want to win this fight, you have to know your enemy.

You were born into a world at war. It's happening whether you acknowledge it or not. There is a real enemy who has made it his aim to steal, kill, and destroy everything God calls good. It's time to wake up and start breaking the agreements that have given the devil a foothold in our lives.

The grave is EMPTY! Death is defeated forever.  What happened in the unseen on this history-changing weekend?

Seasons of affliction come for us all. When we face difficulty in our lives, there's a lot at stake. Worry and discontent are a bitter poison to our souls, and the enemy can easily gain a foothold in our minds if we lose trust in the truth that God is GOOD. How do we stay close to Jesus and care for our hearts during these seasons?

There is nobody like Jesus! He rules over everything, and holds the whole universe together. It’s through Jesus that we can truly know God and experience abundant life forever with Him.

People always end up worshiping what they love, and there is no one we love more than JESUS. We exist to make much of Jesus in the world through our day-to-day. Our lives are the magnifying glass that puts him on full display, for everyone to see! THE FUTURE'S BRIGHT // Though we live in a dark world, the future is always bright in the Kingdom of God, and in this church! We're spending this season talking about where we are, where we're going, and how we're going to get there, in Jesus' name.
