Be inspired to believe and trust in God's miraculous power to be at work in your life through the power of the Holy Spirit.

The book of Acts was never supposed to end. There should be more miracles now not less. Ps Jon shows us in scripture the authority and power we carry in Christ.

We often misunderstand seasons, expecting constant harvest when sometimes God has us in winter—a season of rest, trust, and investment rather than visible fruit. Winter doesn't mean something is wrong; it means the soil is resting, roots are deepening, and pruning is happening to make room for future growth. Just as farmers rest the land, tend the vines, and repair their tools in winter, God uses these seasons to heal hearts, strengthen foundations, and prepare us for what's next. When we change the meaning of winter from failure to formation, frustration gives way to peace and hope. Learning to embrace "winter" allows us to trust God in hardship, knowing that new life and harvest are being prepared beneath the surface.

In this message we go on a journey through a powerful testimony of how Jesus Christ brings you from death to life. How that our sharing together with our Lord in the Gospel, we are made to be raised up with Christ in experience.

What story does your life tell? Have you allowed Jesus to to come into your story as the Redeemer who offers freedom and restoration? Jesus paid the ultimate price so that you and I can live free in our purpose and calling.

December is full of pressure, expectations, and busyness, and if we're not careful, we rush through the season without making room for what God wants to do. Christmas is an invitation to slow down, prepare our hearts, and move from simply doing Christian activities to truly believing again. The Christmas story reminds us that God does miracles in imperfect, uncomfortable, and unexpected places, not in polished or religious environments. Mary's response—“Let it be unto me according to your word”—shows that miracles require surrender, trust, and a willingness to carry what God wants to birth. God doesn't need our perfection; He needs our availability, our mess, and our yes. Even in silence, darkness, or waiting, God can break through in a moment and bring hope, light, and a miracle into our lives.

In this powerful installment of the Miracle on Your Street series, Ps Colin unpacks "The Gift of a Scaled Life," revealing how the Prayer of Jabez unlocks God's desire to expand your territory and turn your deficits into abundance. Discover how surrendering your capacity, service, and expectations to the Father can transform the pressure of growth into a limitless life that overflows to everyone around you.

From Mary's encounter with the angel Gabriel, we see that God intends to work miracles both in us and through us. The Holy Spirit still moves in the most unlikely places—driving out darkness, calming fear, bringing healing, and drawing us into His Kingdom purpose.

The best gifts we can give are the gifts that the receiver needs most. These gifts will cost us something, but not always money. Ps. Michael shares some valuable perspectives on giving from a well known parable about friendship, forgiveness and faith.

So often when we worry or are confused we go to the world for answers. Or we go to works to try and force the hand of God. In the story of the prodigal son, both brothers miss out on the blessing in the house for different reasons. Seek God first and watch His grace and blessing fill your life.

In the Kingdom, preparation begins with one thing: LOVE. Before you GO: - Receive His Love - Let His Love heal you - Wait on His Spirit to empower you Because the Great Commission without the love of God is like packing your bike without ever learning to ride it — you will burn out, crash out, and miss the whole point. But with His love… With His healing… With the Holy Spirit's power… You won't just go — you will witness, you will shine, you will carry hope, and you will change lives wherever your feet land.

The great test and struggle of this life on earth is to walk in sync with heaven. When our lives are in sync we experience God's hand of blessing and heaven flows to earth in our lives. When we are out of sync, we miss God's best for our lives.

The Holy Spirit wants to partner with us to reach the lost by spending us on Rescue Missions for the Kingdom of God. This message will ignite a fresh passion for seeing the lost saved and set free!

In this powerful message, Mark unpacks the supernatural reality of sonship — the miracle described in Romans 8:14–17 where God adopts us into His family and places His Spirit within us to lead, empower, and transform our lives. He explores four attributes of spiritual sonship and the four phases every believer journeys through: Revelation, Consecration, Activation, and Manifestations. Together, these truths reveal what it means to walk not as slaves, but as fully empowered sons and daughters who carry the authority, identity, and love of the Father. If you're hungry to understand your kingdom identity and step boldly into your God-given purpose, this teaching will ignite your faith and awaken the Spirit-led life within you.

We live in a world that is afraid of absolute truth. In this message we dive into some of the black & white truths scripture outlines for us as believers. Some may shy away from truth, but God's word is clear. " You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

*This is the SALT LAKE CITY edition of Dr. Matt's "Are You Listening?" message Dr. Matt reminds us that when we tune our hearts to hear the Lord, we step into clarity, confidence, and divine direction.

The altar is where transformation begins , where we encounter the power of God. The table is where transformation happens, where we open our lives to godly people and walk out what God began.

This message calls us to live with awakened discernment so we can recognize His voice and follow it boldly.

Are you in a season where God is cutting things back—relationships, opportunities, plans you thought were His will? You're not alone. This message reveals the surprising truth Jesus taught in John 15: God prunes not because you're failing, but because you're fruitful. In this sermon, Morgan shares a raw personal testimony of fasting, breakthrough, and unexpected loss—followed by the revelation that pruning is God's preparation for multiplication. Through Scripture, biblical examples, and practical wisdom, you'll discover: - Why God removes good things to prepare you for greater things - The five blessings hidden in every pruning season - The danger of resisting God's pruning—and the freedom of surrendering to it - How to survive “the drift” between cutting and new growth - How trust, thanksgiving, and perseverance unlock God's next chapter for your life If you've been confused, hurting, or wondering where God is in this season, this message will help you see His hand clearly, love His process deeply, and embrace the increase He's preparing you to carry. This isn't loss. It's love. It's preparation. And it's the doorway to your next harvest.

Don't let fear and looking back keep you from the Legacy God has for you. Pastor Tessa Fuller reminds us that God's promises are always ahead of us, never behind us. When we stop rehearsing old doubts and release the grip of yesterday's disappointments, we make room for His grace to pull us boldly into our future. Legacy isn't something we stumble into—it's something we step into with courage, conviction, and trust. Keep your eyes forward, your heart steady, and your faith anchored in the God who leads you from glory to glory.

This message traces the journey every believer must walk—from deliverance, through discipleship, into dominion. God pulls us out of bondage, forms us in the wilderness, and then empowers us to take ground and walk in the authority He designed us for. Deliverance is the start, discipleship is the shaping, and dominion is the destiny.

Be inspired to bless and not curse what God is trying to bless. This powerful word from Ps. Marco encourages us to both trust and also believe in the promises of God for the miraculous,

One of the most iconic movies of the 20th century was "The Great Escape" starring Steve McQueen. He escapes the German Nazi concentration camp Stalag Luft III in Bavaria on a stolen motorcycle. In the same vein, the Bible tells us we can escape the corruption of this world through God's great and precious promises.

When we build our families and marriages on biblical foundations, we cultivate strength, resilience, and peace.

You'll be challenged to honor, build your family, strengthen your faith, and remember that God can provide anything, at any moment, for anyone

When we are grateful, we attract favor and blessing. When we criticize, condemn and complain, we repel. We need to continually choose an attitude of gratitude in all circumstances. When we have a heart of thankfulness and praise we attract God's presence and power. God's presence is our eternal blessing!

As believers, we are meant to carry the characteristics of Christ. In this message, Ps Lisa goes through four areas where our lives are meant to reflect Him. Our actions—shaped by knowing who Jesus is—become the evidence of our identity as His disciples.

Following Jesus starts where surrender begins. In this message, we look at Jesus' call in Matthew 4:19 and discover that following Him isn't just believing—it's choosing to trust His leadership over our own.

From His proven track record, to the power of His Word, to His ability to fulfill every promise, this message will stir your faith to say again, “At Your Word, Lord—I'll follow.”
