This message is preached by Frank Glaspey, a part of the Grace family. Jesus instructed us to occupy until He comes. What does it mean to occupy? Many of us have reduced this to a passive thing. It is not! We are to live from the victory of the cross and release that victory around us. There are many ways that we can fulfill Jesus' instruction to occupy until He comes. Frank shares a number of ways that we can do that.

There is an attitude that will get God's immediate attention. It is an attitude or perspective that grants you access to the resources of the Kingdom of God. Matthew 5:3 says "Blessed are the poor is spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven". Blessed is the person who recognizes their spiritual poverty (their need for God). That person has God's ear. This message is about the danger of pride and the benefit of humility.

One of the greatest things that we can possess is God's purpose for our lives. We may have many different purposes in our lives, but God's (our Creator) purpose for our lives is what empowers us to live a godly life. Without a (progressive) vision, the people are unrestrained (Proverbs 29:18). Withoug God's vision for our life, we do our own thing. We live self-focused life. This message is about the importance of God's vision for our lives.

One of the reasons we must spend time in God's word daily is so that we can have His perspective. Luke 15 gives us God's perspective about lost people. God loves lost people and longs to see them saved (part of His family). It's important that we see lost people like God does.

Sometimes, the meaning of words can change over time. Do we really understand what the word "GRACE" in the Bible means? This message re-examines Grace to seek to understand what the Holy Spirit meant when the word "Grace" is found in the Scriptures.

The gospels are filled with stories about people who encountered Jesus and their lives were changed. The Samaritan woman is one of those people. Jesus is still transforming lives today through His encounters.

This is the last in the series, "Lift Up Your Eyes". We are encouraged in the Scriptures to lift up our eyes to see what God wants to show us (Genesis 13:14). Sometimes we just need to stop looking at everything around us and look up to see what God wants to reveal to us. What are you looking at?

Several people being healed through words of knowledge and then several people sharing SOAPs (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer).

God desires to heal us inside and out. A physical healing is a wonderful thing to experience, but internal healing can be even more impactful on our lives. This message, shared by Stacy Just, is about receiving inner healing. She shares some helpful tools in how to receive it.

We are New Testament priests. We are to offer God the sacrifice of praise, that it, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His Name (Hebrews 13:15). But the first sacrifice that God desires from us is to present our own body as a living sacrifice to God (Romans 12:1). Then, we are to be transformed by the renewing of our mind (Romans 12:2)

God has a plan for your life. The beginning place to find it, is in surrendering your life to Him. His plan will be the most fulfilling thing that we can do.

We need to lift up our eyes from our present circumstances and behold what God has promised us. What has God promised us in the New Covenant? All the promises of God in Him (Christ) are Yes and Amen (1 Corinthians 1:20). Heaven is saying "YES" but God is waiting for someone on the earth to say "AMEN" (so be it in my life).

The key to experiencing breakthrough is to rejoice. The breakthrough begins inside of us before we will experience it outwardly. God wants to give us breakthrough thinking but also breakthrough power to push through the opposition.

This message is based on Genesis 13:14-17. God told Abram to lift his eyes and to look northward, southward, eastward and westward in order to see the land that God had given him. We have to lift our eyes from where we presently are to be able to beyond where God is taking us. For Abram it was the Promised Land. For us in the New Covenant it is the promises that God makes to us in Jesus Christ.

God wants us, not only aware of the unseen realm, but perceiving it. The new birth gives us the ability to see the Kingdom of God (John 3:3). God has given us His Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth and to reveal to us the things that God has freely given to us (1 Cor 2:12). There is a reason that we are encouraged to commune and have fellowship with the Holy Spirit (2 Cor 13:14).
