Different beliefs lead to different choices, which lead to different outcomes.

You can't get to your purpose without a process, problems, pressure, and pain. Pastor Kevin Gerald reminds us in his message, "Pushed Into Your Purpose," that God is not as concerned about your comfort as he is about your purpose. Let's be encouraged to not get caught up in the doors that close, but focus on God turning what was meant to hurt us into something good.

In Pastor Jesse Rodriguez's message, Strength in Numbers, he reminds us that we all have a part to play and why we keep Jesus at the center.

We can't live in a world where everyone's truth is the Truth. God is the creator of all truth and our lives are meant to be lived in sync with His truths and not our own.
