We would all love to get to our destinations faster if we had a choice. However, faith doesn't show up as a sprint but a walk. The life of Enoch shows us how to walk with God everyday of our lives.

Sometimes nothing else matters but going back to what really matters. In week one of #faithflix, Pastor Mario J. Radford challenges us to get back to Jesus.

We all get thirsty and sometimes where we go to get our thirst quenched dries up. A woman went to a well to get what she thought would satisfy because it had served her fathers. Jesus pointed beyond the fathers she had heard about to the one who would satisfy her eternally.

You were designed to live a free flowing life. Have you checked your flow lately or asked why you're not experiencing a continuous flow of joy, peace or God's spirit? In week two of our Be Like Water series, Pastor Mario teaches about the flow that starts with our heart.

Do you like speed? Many of us have no desire to wait for anything. We even go around speed bumps because they are in our way. Speed bumps are in place to slow us down. It's hard to have a balanced life naturally or spiritual while constantly in a hurry.

We serve a limitless God, but we are humans that need boundaries in important areas of our lives. One of the hardest areas to create limits is in the area of finances.

Many have tried and failed to be morally, ethically, and spiritually good. It is not that good doesn't exist in every human but without God, we fail to live up to that standard.

God is the Chief Architect, but He's trusted you with being the general contractor. Pastor Jennifer concludes the groHER Women's conference with a special word for every builder.

God's design was to bring the Israelites back into relationship with Him. The last piece of furniture in the tabernacle was the Ark of the Covenant. It the spot that God met and spoke to them. There is a meeting spot and God is waiting for you there.

The entire Bible is really a love story about a God reuniting with a people that always belonged to him. Sin separated us, but the Son reunited us. Disclaimer: Technical difficulties prevented the end of the message to be captured.

What is my purpose? Why am I here? These are the questions we have all asked. What if the answer you're looking for comes from the mess you've been running from? Pastor Mario shares how God reveals your purpose while you're still in the process.

We pray for others and often those prayers change us while praying for them. Pastor Mario shares how prayer impacts a father and two sons.

Many of us give up too soon. The answers we seek may not come packaged as we'd like, but they give us what we need. Keep asking, pursuing and knocking, God will answer.

We're going to talk about it. Most likely we're going to complain about it. Yet in all things, we should pray about it. No matter the point of life in which you find yourself, pray into it. Tackle every obstacle with a talk with God. Pray is your most powerful weapon. Use it. 

Pastor Mario challenged us in the way we view prayer. Praise is for God, but prayer is for us. Jabez knew that prayer was the key to unlocking true change. If you're experiencing pain, it's time to partner in prayer with God.

What you need for where you're going is not only in you but working for you. Pastor Melinda Weathers shares about accessing the power of God in your life. It's time to work that power.

God can use anything to reach you. What may be viewed as a mess may be a message in disguise. Pastor Tanksley teaches about how God's favor can still bless you at messy tables.

Leadership doesn't spring from skill and talent alone. God calls us as an answer to a need. Wherever there is a problem or a need, you will find a leader assigned. Dr. Gray provides practical tools for identifying where God-ordained leadership comes from.

Silence is a trap of the enemy. Whether the struggle has been for a day or an extended period of time if you stay silent help may pass you by.

Jesus shows up and everything changes. If you're ready for change, this message is for you.

It may seem like you're surrounded, but what looks like defeat may be victory in surprise. Evangelist Carlie Taylor ministers an encouraging message from Psalm 3.

Many things have happened since the resurrection of Jesus. Emotions are everywhere, but it's time for Jesus to ascend back to His Father in Heaven. Before he leaves, there is one final message; it's time to move from here. Pastor Mario shares on what moving forward looks like.

If you've ever been broke down on the side of any road, you understand how important roadside assistance is. When Jesus was at his weakest moment, a man named Simon stepped in to help him carry the cross. Pastor Mario challenges us to be a Simon for someone.

We often want decisions to be made for us. Some of us even overlook the fact that making no decision is a decision within itself. In week one of our #crossroads Series, Pastor Mario shares the feelings that Jesus dealt with on his journey towards the cross.

When you're desperate for change, sometimes it'll make you holler. Elder Coney teaches from the story of a blind beggar who cried out for change.

The greatest change often comes in the form of simple instructions. Pastor Guilluame teaches that healing, change, and discovery of purpose begin with following instructions.

Movement is tied to our healing. The first word from Jesus to the lepers was, "Go." Pastor Mario concludes the disrupting normal series by reminding us that movement from our normal will take us to our next.

Leaving anything can be difficult. Sometimes your next is attached to the decisions of now. Abram was called from familiar to a place of complete trust in God. Are you experiencing anxiety over next? Listen to this message to see what Abram did.

Do you want position or direction? Jesus ask one question to people with two different mindsets. God has something for you, but a disruption of what you're used to may happen first.

Nehemiah teaches us how to fight until the end. The enemy desires to keep you distracted. As long as he can keep you distracted, he can keep you diverted. God will give you the strength you need for your assignment.

When the mission is personal, it requires a different response. There will always be opposition when you're building something great. This is not the time to back up, but to fight through it. What God has placed inside of you is worth the fight.
