King David is one of the best examples of how one person that knows who God is and who they are can be brave and change things around them. Being brave means not just having faith in God but using your faith in God. _________ Subscribe to receive our latest messages.  To support our ministry and help us continue to reach people: www.lifeway.church/give Become solid disciple.

Bravery is not a warm and fuzzy feeling or a moment in time where you hear the soundtrack from the movie Rocky…It is when ordinary people recognize the moment to trust their extraordinary God and obey what He tells them to do.  _________ Subscribe to receive our latest messages.  To support our ministry and help us continue to reach people: www.lifeway.church/give Become solid disciple.

You must surround yourself with God, you have to practice for "giants" - things that will try to come against you, and finally you have to be willing to ask for help.

God made us to overcome against all odds. He wants us to succeed regardless of the seemingly insurmountable obstacles that we face and has equipped us to win. Will we choose to depend on Him and walk through the doors of opportunity? ...and what's required?

In order to not conform to the world and it’s ways of thinking, speaking and acting we must refuse to let our emotions dominate us. The operating system of the world is based on feelings. God wants us to use the mind of Christ. __________ Subscribe to receive our latest messages.

The world is growing more and more divided because people are blaming each other. God wants us to quit thinking like the world and pointing the finger, judge ourselves and take responsibility. God does not want us to think like or act like the world. The world will try every way possible to push us and pressure us into their mold. We must not conform. __________ Subscribe to receive our latest messages. To support our ministry and help us continue to reach people: www.lifeway.church/give Become solid disciple.

The world is pressuring the Church to conform to it’s mindset and way of thinking or be canceled (called out and shamed). We must choose to not be pressured into thinking like the world or bowing to their demands.

The REAL Church is a SUPERnatural church. All of hell cannot stop the church and it's mission because it is empowered with the power of God Himself. _________ Subscribe to receive our latest messages.

The REAL Church is filled with the power of prayer. The church began in a powerful prayer meeting in Acts 2 in the upper room and always advances through times and seasons of united prayer.

The REAL Church is the church that is bold, filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, walking in love and obedient to God. Obeying God in the face of persecution is key to fulfilling the mission that Jesus gave us. If man says one thing and God says another, we always obey God over man. _________ Subscribe to receive our latest messages.

Why does God do what He does? LOVE. And this the true motivation behind all that the real church does too. Loving God empowers us to love others and reflects the character of God and person of Jesus.

One of the main characteristics of the REAL church is ACTION. The world is looking for the REAL church and it looks like the “book of Acts”. There were demonstrations of God’s power as the Holy Spirit worked through the disciples. We have the gifts of the Spirit and we can expect the same thing today. Let’s be the REAL church!

One of the main characteristics of the REAL church is POWER. The church began in power because Jesus said go to Jerusalem and wait for the power. We see the church in the book of Acts walking in power and we desire to see the power of God in the church today. Where is the power?  

There has always been an effort to silence the voice of God in the earth but now is the time that the real Church should rise up and say what God says! We are His voice in the earth today. __________ Subscribe to receive our latest messages. To support our ministry and help us continue to reach people: www.lifeway.church/give Become solid disciple.

In today's day and age society is telling us the good is bad, and bad is good. Don't be deceived by the lies that the world tries to feed you. It's time to stand up for what's true and right according to the Word of God.

Being engaged in the political process by voting is necessary, but prayer is even more necessary for our vote to count.

As followers of Jesus we are responsible to see the truth and be informed on political issues to educate ourselves in order to vote.

As followers of Jesus we are responsible to pray for our nation and its leaders more than anything else. And secondly to see the truth and be informed on political issues to educate ourselves in order to vote.

Spreading rumors leads to strife, division and mistrust. It's better to not say anything at all when you hear something that smells like gossip.

Lies lock you up but truth sets you free. Relationships thrive on trust based on truth but are destroyed when there is deception and lying. Listen to learn more.    

Criticizing is like taking a knife and cutting others to make yourself feel better. It is dangerous to give place to a critical spirit. Do we want to be a fault finder or hope dealer? Listen and learn more in this third part of the series "My Big Fat Mouth". 

Part 1 of "My Big Fat Mouth". Our words are powerful. They shape our life. Complaining pushes away the blessings of God. While being grateful and thankful overcomes the desire to complain. Listen to learn more.

When we get weary, it’s time to rest and refresh with Jesus. "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:30

In this message Pastor Bruce teaches that when sadness comes, we can resist discouragement and depression and rejoice in who God is and what He has done. Listen to this message to learn more.

Concern, worry and anxiety are at an all time high right now. We can overcome these emotions by talking - to God. Big enough to worry about—Big enough to pray about! If it’s on your MIND—It’s on God’s HEART!

Everywhere you turn people are being triggered! Rage and anger are getting the center stage. God created us to experience emotion but not to be controlled by them. Acting on anger results in sin. By listening to the Holy Spirit we are able to respond with love and forgiveness instead of reacting out of anger.

There is a huge opportunity to lead people to follow Jesus right now in the midst of everything happening around us. We are the people and now is the time. Listen to learn more...

There are so many opportunities to grow in the midst of times of crisis. We should purpose to learn all that we can so that we can grow and flourish even in times of crisis. Listen to learn more...

Sometimes the key to recognizing an opportunity depends on listening. How's your listening? Listen as Pastor Bruce Rhodes continues our series "Opportunities". 

Opportunities are all around us everyday, we begin to see them as we look from God's perspective.

Our identity as Christians must focus more on our eternal spirit than our temporary flesh

Since we identify with Christ we must put off the old man and put on the new man.

We were created by God and born on this earth. When we confess Jesus and make Him our Lord, we are born again. It matters more who we are in Christ than who we are naturally.

There are times in our lives where we don't know who we are. These times are called an Identity Crisis. We need to recognize when we are going through an Identity Crisis and know what to do.

Father's Day 2020 - with Pastor Bruce Rhodes and special guest John Posey.

We have been unified through the blood of Jesus and now is the time to act like it. We can't sit back waiting, we have to initiate it. Love is our power and God's word is our guide. Key Scripture: Psalm 133:1 “How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!”

We are all in a maze going toward the exit...we think. It is time to follow the Holy Spirit forward. Phillipians 2:2-5 TPT - So I’m asking you, my friends, that you be joined together in perfect unity—with one heart, one passion, and united in one love. Walk together with one harmonious purpose and you will fill my heart with unbounded joy.
