Taken from the story in 2 Kings, Ps. Leanne describes the two options we have when facing challenges in our lives.
Fear is loud, but faith is louder. The enemy uses intimidation to paralyze us with doubt, making his power seem bigger than it really is, just like Goliath. But Jesus is the ultimate authority, and when we stand in Him, we don't have to be preyed on by fear. Instead, we rise as Kingdom Intimidators, boldly advancing God's kingdom with truth, peace, and clarity. This message will help you call out the tactics of intimidation, claim your Kingdom authority, and step into your true identity as a child of God. Perfect love drives out fear, and with Jesus, you're not easily intimidated, you're empowered to prevail.
"New Life from Three Trees" takes us on a journey from the Tree in the Garden, where sin first entered the world, to the Tree on Calvary, where Jesus paid the price for our redemption, and finally to the Tree in Your Eye, where transformation begins within us.

Just like the imperfect people God used throughout Scripture, your story isn't over; with Him, you can step into freedom, healing, and hope.

What if God's no isn't rejection, but preparation for a greater yes? In this incredible message, Ps. Alex discovers how to hold onto faith when God delays, and how His timing always reveals more of who He is.
God's called us all to build HIs house. This requires us to not only be a consumer, but be a contributor. In this powerful message, Ps. Sterling asks us to consider our ways and to make an adjustment in building the house, instead of taking from the house.
We all face pressures throughout our lives, but pressures are not there to crush us; rather, they make us. We must learn that pressure is a privilege. In this powerful message, Ps. Charles shows us how to allow the pressures of life to perfect us.
Your greatest place of influence is in the local church. The local church is the hope of the world. In this message, Casey celebrates saying yes to the will of God and amen to the local church.
