Jesus is the Triumphant King who is ready to enter our lives and conquer sin and share His victory with us.
Building an altar is an act of worship. It's no longer a physical altar, but one made without hands and the place where we choose to lay down what God asks of us. He promises to honor our consecration of sacrifice.
The story in Exodus of the Israelites being saved through the Red Sea is an example of baptism. Our sins cannot follow us through the waters of baptism. We leave the old behind and become a new creature in Christ!
| Rev Daniel Gums | The New Birth experience is for every person. Will you respond and receive what God wants to give you? He is the only way to life eternal.

| Rev. Ron Engquist | How did the early church baptize? What is the Biblical way to be baptized? The scriptures are clear...it's in the name of Jesus!
We are not made up of just the biggest victories of our lives, but it's the small wins and faithful walking with God that make the difference. We should celebrate what God does through every small win to make us victorious.
God has invited us into His holy presence, not just to encounter Him, but to surrender to His ability to make a difference in every part of our lives.
When everything seems to be turned against us, we need to turn to the One who is the greatest joy, and gives us eternal life! He is Love like no other.
If you follow your heart, where does it lead you? It is unwise to follow our heart, but when we follow God's heart, we can trust Him on the journey and for a worthy destination.
LIfe is full of ups and downs. The Bible encourages is to dig into our faith, especially when trials come so we can endure with Jesus being the source of our strength.
| Rev. Ron Engquist | We must always long for a place with God that we have never been before. Our desire for God should be insatiable; there is no end to who He is.
If we build a fire of consecration in our lives and in the church, it will drive out impure things. Consecration unto God draws His Spirit and will change everything. He makes us holy.
When we take God's Word out of our lives, we become misshaped and fit the model of the world. God designed us to be shaped by Him. When He shapes us, we become like Him.
Eternal peace is the spiritual and emotional peace that we yearn for. The only way to have this type of peace is through relationship with the Peacemaker, the Peacespeaker.
Jesus brought peace to earth in the form of Himself. He views His creation as good and brings His goodwill to those He loves. We can live in peace and goodwill when He is the ruler of our hearts.
When we suffer, our first response should be to look to Jesus. If we will surrender to Him, He will govern our lives with His peace.
Thankfulness is a gateway, a door, an entry. When one displays thankfulness, it unlocks good things in your life through the change in your mindset.
Jesus suffered the worst kind of death, but faced it with joy because He knew He would conquer death, hell, and the grave. If we abide in Him, we have His victory in our lives.
| Rev. Rick Kielley | Legacies are important to every person. This is the legacy of our Lord: He came to give His life and He come to leave us His Spirit.
We can be clouded by circumstances and trials, but if we will remember Jesus, He has already overcome. We must choose to turn our eyes back to Jesus in remembrance every situation. He is more than enough!
On this journey of walking with God, we encounter times of feeling surrounded by our enemies. But God is greater and surrounds us with peace, strength, and His perspective.
There are many paths, but only one that leads to eternal life in Jesus. Although difficult at times, God reveals and guides us in His perfect will.
Our reward is great in Heaven and Jesus made a way for us to join Him for eternity. As we get closer to the Second Coming of Jesus, we should encourage each other with the hope of His return!
| Rev. Joseph Hanthorn | Even when we can't see our way to Jesus, He is near to hear our cry. Those who call out to Him in desperation will have His attention drawn to them. He will hear us and meet our needs.
| Rev. Joseph Hanthorn |The battle is won by the Lord and He shared His victory with us, our connection to Him is through prayer.
When the struggle seems to last too long, it can be hard to remember that Jesus is greater than it all. We have to determine to get to Jesus; no matter what. He will respond with power!
God is love, because of His attribute of love, He does every action propelled by and through the greatness of His love.
We only have so much to give...we have limited resources. But God's resources are unlimited and He freely gives to us as we need.
We have the condition of a rebellious heart. The heart must be transformed to be what God intended for us. We give what we've got and He performs the miracle of transformation.
Every person comes to a point in their life where a decision must be made of what is priceless, what has so much value that it's worth giving up everything else to obtain it.
God is pleased when we look past the "fool's gold" of this world and instead pursue His eternal riches. He is a God of abundance and shares His riches with His children.
Nothing in this world can fill you up like the Holy Spirit. You will never run out of resource when you are filled with The Source.
The power of purity will bring us into His presence and will lead us in His glory.
Truth is not a concept. Truth is a Person. That Person is Jesus Christ.
Love is a choice and fierce love cannot be ignored. Our love for others will drive us to fervently pray for them. Fierce love coupled with fervent prayer changes things!
The world says we should take as much as we can, but in God's Kingdom we should give as much as we have. God's replacements are always better.
If the pillar of faith is present in our life, God will build on it. Jesus is worthy of everything we can offer Him; our praise, our faith, our obedience. He's worthy of it all!
We need to know who God is before we can know who we are. When we link our identity to what God tells us, we will understand and walk in His purpose for our life.
The Gospel offers us liberation from the power of sin. Why would we not walk in the freedom Jesus provided? His power is limitless.
Just as soldiers fight to preserve our freedom in the natural, God has fought and won our victory. He preserves our freedom.
| Rev. Jeff Zimmerman | Sometimes God is silent in our storms, but He is never absent. God is not a man. We can absolutely trust Him!
You will receive supernatural power from God when you receive the Holy Ghost. It's for you!
We have a choice to accept the gift of His Spirit which is the power to overcome sin. God's plan + our surrender results in deliverance.
Intercessory prayer is something every believer is called to. God has promised that the prayers of the righteous will be effective.
| Rev. Joe Zirpoli | We expect God to meet us on our terms, check our boxes, but He is waiting for us to lay down our expectations and surrender to His will. This is our defining moment!
