What was God's original design for fatherhood? Why does the role of a father carry such spiritual weight? In this special Father's Day message, Kris Vallotton unpacks the biblical foundation and divine purpose of fatherhood. From the Garden to today, the role of a father has always been more than just provision or protection—it's about identity, inheritance, and reflecting the nature of our heavenly Father.

Come discover how fatherhood was always meant to shape generations and reflect the Father's love on the earth.

When we walk in the fear of the Lord, love takes on its fullest expression. Let God upgrade your vision for what's possible when reverence meets relational connection.

The Body must find courage to step into all that God is doing. In this message, Gabe Valenzuela reminds us that courage isn't a personality trait but is something to cultivate. As the Lord moves, He's inviting us to move with Him. Sometimes that means reaching when it feels easier to retreat, or choosing faith despite your fears. This is a call to rise—not in our own strength, but in deep dependence on the One who goes before us. May this message awaken fresh faith and stir holy courage for all that is on the horizon.

There is a gift of grace that God has placed on your life and He wants you to use it.

In this powerful message, Hayley Braun calls the Church to attention, reminding us that we're not meant to spectate—we're meant to take our place. The grace of God is more than favor, it's His empowering presence resting on your life to do what you could never do on your own.

Let this message ignite your faith, awaken you to the supernatural strength available through God's grace, and provoke you to walk confidently in His grace.

As the Church and co-laborers with Christ, we must both possess a clear understanding and practice of the power of priority. There's something to be said about busyness and whether or not it's connected to God's original design and purpose for our lives. When disconnected from these motives, our efforts lack productivity in the spirit and build inferior kingdoms.

In this message, Kris Vallotton unpacks a key factor to living in the fullness we were designed for. With happiness and enjoyment as products of doing what we were created to do, listen and discover how God's design for fulfillment in your life bears the fruit of true happiness, and how pursuing temporary pleasures perpetuates emptiness.

Radical generosity is a powerful weapon that goes beyond tithing.

Join us and receive revelation on this age-old practice that we pray will inspire you to choose a lifestyle of extravagant generosity.

The Lord has designed us to inherit and live in fulfilled promise, but what is the gateway of the Promised Land?

In this powerful message, Pastor Kris Vallotton unpacks what it means to be known in Heaven and feared in hell, charging the Church to become better acquainted with the spirit world. To fulfill the call of being a disciple of Jesus—one empowered by His authority—we will need a better understanding of how His world works. Throughout Scripture, we can find stories of people walking in miracles, signs, and wonders. There is a cause-and-effect that's possible between the physical world and the spiritual world, and we believe that through our connection to God and His anointing, we can better know the spirit. We pray that as you listen along, your time with the Lord is full of divine inspiration and a fresh outpouring of the Spirit of God.

The reason behind why we sing songs to God is twofold. Worship isn't just singing and playing instruments. It's a lifestyle completely surrendered to Him. It's a response to the revelation that Jesus is Lord and the only One worthy of laying our lives down for. In this message, Banning Liebscher teaches on the reason why we sing songs to the Lord. Whether you have a passion for worshiping God through song or doing so is out of your comfort zone, this teaching is for you. Receive clarity and revelation on why we sing to the Lord. Let your heart for God be unlocked and your voice be set free. We bless you as you listen!

It's through creativity that God illustrates freedom in the minds of His people. When we are free to think and dream void of obstacles like self-doubt or the enemy's lies, we can bring heavenly solutions to earth. God created us in His image as a Creator. This is fundamental to who we are as His children. As Pastor Bill Johnson shares this message on creativity, we believe the Holy Spirit will highlight anything hindering you from accessing freedom in your mind because He wants you to surrender it. We bless you as you listen along!

We are in an era where God is elevating righteousness not only in the Church, but beyond its walls as well. As followers of Jesus, we have been commissioned to make disciples of nations. God's plans and purposes are always through the lens of Jesus' prayer that it would be "on earth as it is in Heaven." To accomplish this vision, the Lord is connecting the prophets, the priests, and the kings. Join us as Kris Vallotton shares a message inspired by and infused with the prophetic and receive a word fashioned for such a time as this.

Join us as Pastor Bill Johnson shares a message about what it takes to become a king according to the kingdom of God. We are called to royalty, not because of our giftings or anointing, but because of who our Father in Heaven is. Titles and crowns are earthly indicators of leadership. Kingdom royalty is marked by servanthood and heart posture. Watch as Bill takes us through the story of Gideon and receive revelation on the making of a king.

Join us as Pastor Hayley Braun teaches about the kind of rest we can access in the Promised Land. Rest is only accessible through trust, which is the substance of our faith.

In this insightful message, Pastor Bill Johnson teaches about the fall of King Hezekiah. This king experienced much favor during his reign, and it became an idol that ultimately crushed him. How did this God-given gift of favor destroy King Hezekiah? Where did he go wrong, and what can we learn? This teaching is timely, and the implication is vital to the Church as we set our hearts on living for eternity. 

In this message, Pastor Kris Vallotton shares a compelling message on our responsibility to live from eternity. The culture of Heaven is an eternal one. Making that reality possible here on the earth requires our intentionality and participation. Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, "He has put eternity into man's heart." Watch and receive an impartation of "eternity in your heart."

Hear from Bill Johnson as he teaches on the ways of a king. We are called to be kings and queens—to rule and reign with Christ, in the spheres of influence God has given us. Kings and queens live for eternity. A key component of that is leaving a legacy. Proverbs 13:22 says "A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children." Every decision we make can impact the future for generations to come. Imagine what could happen if we gave with that in mind? How much of heaven could inhabit the earth if we lived solely to build a better future? Join us as we receive wisdom and direction for leaving the legacy only a king under the lordship of the King of Kings can.

Join Pastor Kris Vallotton as he examines the integral need for prophetic community in finding and fulfilling our purpose. The invitation to steward the words we are given, and to see by the spirit and not the flesh, is paramount to cultivating this culture within and around us, but we must surround ourselves with prophetic people to catalyzing the person we were made to become and the destiny we are called to live out. As you listen, we pray that you will feel stirred to cultivate this community for yourself, and that from your stewardship will come a harvest of righteousness in your life.

Join Pastor Bill Johnson as he shares a powerful charge to the global Body of Christ about what it looks like to dismantle the platform of sin so deeply that it loses its voice—by adopting the posture of living poor in spirit. To live in this way is to live in total dependence on the Lord, as a community, and the result is breakthrough in experiencing the goodness of God in our daily lives and in the world around you.

Join us as Hayley Braun shares a timely message focused on the invitation God is presenting to us to take shape as we listen to His voice.

We're being led on a journey that will open the door to a new season—but we must be aligned first.

Join us as Pastor Bill Johnson shares about the importance of delay—when we do not experience immediate results. When we experience delay, it tells us a lot about ourselves, from what we've incorrectly placed security in to what we fear, and invites us into a deeper trust in God's faithfulness. As we surrender to His plans and purposes for us, in His timing, we are transformed to carry a greater measure of glory into the future!

Join Dann Farrelly as he explores the greater story that God has been writing since the very beginning of creation. Though our own stories are deeply important to God, we must also walk in the Kingdom calling given to us to see the metanarrative—or greater story—of which we are apart. As Dann walks through the Old and New Testament, we witness the reconciling nature of God coming to life, meant not just for our personal lives, but for the whole of the cosmos. 

Join Dan McCollam as he uncovers how prophecy is far more than just a theological preference—it's integral to God's grand plan. Prophecy is a vital aspect of Christianity, proving God's existence, exalting Jesus, and reinforcing Scripture's authority.

Drawing from the story of the Israelites, he highlights how leaving behind the old life and embracing the new through Jesus brings us into deeper intimacy with God. It's a call to prepare our hearts, step into the fullness of God's promises, and witness the wonders He has for us.

Hear from Bill Johnson as he emphasizes the profound importance of community and fellowship among believers. Prioritizing relationships over offerings reflects God's value system, illustrating that genuine compassion and love for others must be prioritized, even over our praise. Serving and caring for one another, even in simple acts, deeply connects us to Christ. Be equipped to foster true community and discover how intentional and sacrificial fellowship powerfully demonstrates God's love and manifests His presence in practical, tangible ways.

Kris Vallotton emphasizes the transformative power of the New Covenant established by Jesus. This covenant is marked by a spirit of reconciliation, highlighting God's desire to restore relationships. Unlike the Old Covenant, which often measured devotion through opposition to enemies, the New Covenant calls believers to love their enemies and pray for those who persecute them. Through Jesus' sacrificial act, we are invited into a relationship with God that is founded on grace, forgiveness, and the ultimate reconciliation of humanity with the Father.

Join us as Bill Johnson delves into Genesis 39, exploring the incredible journey of Joseph. Discover how God's favor on Joseph brought blessings to those around him, even in the midst of adversity. Through Joseph's story, learn the profound truth that God can turn any situation for good and use our lives to impact others. Be inspired you to see God's hand in every circumstance, highlighting the power of forgiveness and the ripple effect of His favor, revealing the transformative power of walking in God's purpose.

The world is in a crisis of conscience, the root being a broken relationship with our Creator. We've chosen knowledge over life, but God offers transformation. Just as in the early days of the Church, He purifies to usher in a new era. Witness this throughout scripture as Pastor Kris Vallotton highlights where God's justice restores and redeems. God invites us all to His mercy seat, where confession meets transformation. Embrace His grace as we prepare for a new beginning—free from the past, filled with His mercy and truth.
