What does fear have to do with serving the Lord? A great deal. In most cases, fear prevents holiness and faith, yet the scriptures urge us to fear the Lord. What does this mean. Join us for the beginning of this important series.

In this final session, we delve into what it means for a leader to manage his own house well. I discuss order in the home, raising children, and becoming an example to the culture.

God lays out very specific characteristics that are required for church leaders. Today, we address the key areas of anger management, the use of money and simple pride.

The first order of business for selecting leaders in the church or any environment is to discover how they manage themselves. Paul looks at the character before considering natural gifts such as speaking or skill sets. Today, we begin looking at the character traits that determine a great leader.

God calls every believer to lead, yet most Christians think leadership is primarily confined to church leadership. Paul tells Timothy that leadership is essential to Christian maturity, so all this month, we address how to become the leader God intended you to be - in your home, in your neighborhood, your business, and in His House.

Most of us think of healing people as probably the most challenging task possible for any believer. Jesus held a different view. Biblically speaking, healing the sick is NOT tricky once we understand the basics. Join me today as we talk about the inversion principle and how to break through in the healing ministry.

Physicians ask lots of questions when they meet with a patient. Why? To attempt to discover the root of the problem. When we pray for the sick, we must also get to the heart of the sickness. Sometimes this is apparent; other times, it takes using the tools Christ left us to alleviate the pain.

One of the more controversial subjects regarding Healing the Sick is Inner Healing. First and foremost, is inner healing biblical. The simple answer is yes. Jesus himself came to earth to specifically provide inner healing according to his own testimony. Unfortunately, inner healing can morph into something that doesn't resemble scripture, so we will discuss that at length during today's message. Join us!

The Word Of Faith movement is notorious for preaching and teaching the need to develop faith and the role faith plays in healing the sick. However, in many instances, faith is reduced to a mere formula. When the recipe doesn't materialize, the practitioner is blamed for failure. Today, we look at the massive difference relationship plays in healing the sick.

The healing ministry of Jesus usually accompanied every preaching occasion. The same is true of the disciples. Why, then, do we seldom (if ever) witness any physical healing in the church today? Has healing disappeared from the ministry of the Word? Join me for today's discussion.

In this final session, Pastor Casey looks at the role of fertilizer in nature, contrasting it with spiritual fertilizer. God brings problems our way to fertilize our faith. However, problems by themselves do nothing for us unless we respond correctly. Don't forget the fertilizer if you want to grow strong in the Lord.

Water plays a vital role in how a plant or tree accesses the soil's nutrients and responds to the light of the Sun. In the spiritual realm, water pictures the activity of the Holy Spirit in our lives. However, not all "liquids" are water, and today, Casey discusses how to discern when God is speaking versus counterfeit voices.

Sun plays a vital role in all plant life. The Son of God is central to all that we call Christianity. CJ invites us into the Old Testament to look at who Jesus is and why the Son is so important to our faith.

In this first part of a four-part series, we look at how things grow in nature and compare these principles to how we are called to grow up spiritually. Today, I speak about roots in your walk with Christ.

So many people spend much of their lives trying to imitate the personality or fame of others and lose themselves in the process. God made each of us unique, so it is vital that we allow the Holy Spirit to work through us without trying to be someone else. Join in today as I discuss the benefits of being oneself.

Christ has set us free from the oppression of our enemy, the devil. This also includes thoughts originating from that kingdom meant to influence our lives negatively. Join me as we look at scripture and the strategies used against us which Christ has defeated.

Christ wants his followers to be free in every aspect of real life. God has guidance for us to show us the way to financial freedom. Join me today as we discuss how to break the chains of perpetual debt.

Christ has determined his children to enjoy liberty (Galatians 5:1) Self Recrimination (blaming oneself) is a paralyzing condition that prevents many believers from advancing in their walk with God. Today, we discuss how to break the cycle.

Christ has called us to walk in liberty (Galatians 5:1). In this first of a five-part series, we speak about Freedom from Sin. Without this freedom, nothing else matters.

In this final part of a four-part series, we examine the right and wrong times to judge. What is judgment, and why is it important to judge when discovering your destiny?

We need to change the way we think to conform with God's purposes for our lives. Today, some practical tips on how to get our thinking in line with God's will for us.

Welcome to Week 3 of our current series called ‘FAKE NEWS.’ This week we’re investigating the common saying, “Everything Happens for a Reason.” We’re sure you’ve heard this said before, but is it Biblical? Check this out!

Most Christians believe God won't give us more than we can handle, but is that true? Realistically, no! God often gives us way more than we can handle for a specific purpose that ultimately stretches us toward more fruitfulness. Join me today for this second installment of Fake News.

In this first part of a four-part series, we look at common expressions about God that are actually completely false. What makes them false, and what does God's Word actually say? You'll be surprised!

When most of us think about Paul, the apostle, we seldom think, "terrorist," but that is who Saul of Tarsus was before his conversion. He despised Christians and enjoyed persecuting them to death. How did he get this way, and what does that say to us today?

There are at least four types of prayer in the Bible, and each operates by different principles. Many Christians become confused by applying the wrong biblical principles to the wrong type of prayer.

Join us as we conclude our eight-part series on Life Gifts.

Join us for today's message and become encouraged!
