NEVER FORGET God's commands and His teachings!!!!!! Proverbs 3 instructs us to store the Word in our hearts, THEN our natural overflow will be full of abundance

Wisdom isn't trendy. It's timeless. And it'll save your life.In a world loud with foolishness, Proverbs 2 reminds us: wisdom doesn't just show up — you have to seek it. You can't treat God's Word like a side dish and expect it to change your life. If you want direction, protection, and peace, wisdom has to become your pursuit.KEY TAKEAWAYS:— If you treat His Word casually, you'll treat others carelessly.You'll start calling dysfunction “normal” and rebellion “freedom.” What you tolerate will eventually dominate.— Wisdom requires quiet.Tune out the noise. Stop letting the sound of truth become foreign. Wisdom won't fight to be heard — but it will change everything if you'll listen.— Everybody serves something.Even the ones shouting “No kings” still follow a voice. But only one King leads to life — Jesus.— God gives wisdom — not culture.And when you seek it like treasure, He doesn't just teach you — He shields you. He covers those who walk with integrity.— Temptation isn't to delight you — it's designed to destroy you.The enemy wants you to laugh at what you should be weeping over. But wisdom guards you from crooked paths and twisted words.— Stay faithful. Stay grounded. Stay on the path.Because off the path? There's deception, destruction, and distraction.But on the path? There's clarity, protection, and peace.——#Proverbs2 #WalkInWisdom #FathersDay #JesusOverEverything #KingdomOverCulture #NexusChurch #StayOnThePath #ChooseWisdom

You're not making a mistake.You're making a choice. And every choice you make is either moving you closer to wisdom — or pushing you closer to destruction.Proverbs 1 shows us: Wisdom isn't running from your mess. She's running toward it. But she's not offering excuses. She's offering a better way.How long will you ignore the voice of wisdom? How long will you blame your past and call it your personality? How long will you call dysfunction your normal?Forgiveness doesn't make you wise. And God doesn't have to destroy you. Your own plans will do that just fine. If you're a father who always gives permission but never correction—you're not a father… you're a freak. God is a Father who corrects. Because correction is love.Compromise is a shortcut to collapse.Sin will always send an invitation. But when it calls—don't flirt. Flee.Because obedience will always outrun anxiety. But there's hope.

Jesus. For countless years, it's been debated who Jesus was, what was His character? Many have asked the question about what's Jesus' place is in the past, the present, and the future. Thankfully, Jesus didn't leave the truth of His existence and His nature shrouded in mystery. Jesus was, Jesus is, and Jesus is to come. He is the Alpha, and He is the Omega. He was before time, He created time, and He stepped in to time not to help us, but to recreate us. Jesus is the Ancient of Days, He is the Living Word. None have come before Him and none will come after Him. He is the light, the truth, the way and He loves us with an intensity that can never be fathomed. Without Jesus, our lives are purposeless and void of true hope and joy. If you don't know Jesus, let us introduce you to Him. He lived to die, if only just for you. Cry out His name, He has always answered. Without Jesus, death is the only certainty. But with Him, eternity is a future we can look to with peace and joy!!!!! We thank you Jesus, for your great love!!!! 

What do you do when life knocks you down, deals you a tough blow? Difficulties and challenges are guaranteed to be a part of our lives. How we respond to our setbacks directly affects God's ability to turn them in to setups!DECISIONS DETERMINE DESTINY!When the people of Ai had Israel on the run, faint from lack of courage, we see Joshua begin to buckle under the fear of abandonment and defeat. He cries out to the Lord, desperately afraid. Joshua had forgotten the promise of the Lord to always be with him! Often we are like Joshua, forgetting God's promises and choosing to throw tantrums and pity parties when we fall in to a valley.  Get up child of God!!!!! Don't allow the enemy to deceive you in to believing that where you are is where you are staying. Our pain can be a pathway to purpose IF we allow God to lead us and guide us through the valleys, strengthening our faith and reliance on Him!!!!

They knew Him as the carpenter's son—but couldn't see the Christ standing in their midst. They only saw His past, not His power. And many of us do the same. We stay stuck in labels, caught in former seasons, blind to the fire God placed within us. But Jesus came with an anointing—divine empowerment for a divine assignment—and He didn't just come to forgive your sin, He came to destroy the works of the Devil. Your condition is not your conclusion. God didn't outsource your breakthrough—He showed up Himself. Because what He's placed on your life isn't transferable. It's yours. And He didn't come to remodel your dysfunction. He came to consume it. We don't trade religion for self-help—we trade it for righteousness, for beauty instead of ashes, for purpose instead of pain. So stop disqualifying what Jesus already qualified. You've been redeemed, not for comfort, but for Kingdom construction. This life isn't about looking holy—it's about being forged in holy fire. Nexus is not a museum for saints. It's a furnace for misfits. So bring Him what's been broken, what's been ruined, what you thought disqualified you—and let it burn. Because what God consumes, He always uses for His glory.

God doesn't need your plan—He needs your faith. Sarah laughed at God's promise because she was full of facts, not faith. But God wasn't laughing. He was serious.The answer is still no.Your age doesn't disqualify you. Your past doesn't define you.Faith takes what God already said is yours. It's not passive—it's persistent.Throw away your pen. Stop writing your own ending.God's promises are already true in the supernatural.Now take them by faith.Push through the fear.Violate the opposition.Activate your inheritance.Faith isn't waiting. Faith takes.

Can you be trusted with the gifts God has given you? Will you use what you have to advance the Kingdom? The Parable of the talents in Matthew 15 gives us God's view of stewardship and what He expects of the things He gives us to manage. God expects that we will take what we have and grown it for His glory!!!! Reject fear and the natural inclination to hide what you are supposed to multiply! To be called a good and faithful servant, we must be obedient and trustworthy to the Lord in every area of our lives. Leave fear behind, step in to faith, and see how God moved in your life!

How often do we miss God's provision because we are too afraid to step out in faith?! In Joshua 1:1-9 we are given a call to action. The Lord wants us to be active, following His call and moving forward. As we walk in obedience, He will make a way where there seems to be none!!! To conquer the mountain in your life, we can't sit around and whine about it. Complaining keeps us stuck, faithful MOVEMENT is where provision occurs. God will not fail nor forsake, let's go in strength and confidence and see all that He desires to do through us!!

Idols don't always look like statues. Sometimes they look like what you can't let go of. What you run to when life gets hard. What you think about when no one's watching. What gets your best time, your loudest praise, your deepest affection.“If it has your heart more than God — it has to die.” Idolatry is subtle It slides in when you stop guarding your focus. It grows when you start compromising truth for comfort.It thrives when Jesus becomes optional. But here's the thing — idols can't save you. Idols won't heal you. Idols leave you thirsty, empty, and bound. Freedom starts when you let the flesh die. Peace comes when Jesus is King — not consultant. Real life begins when you tear down what's been standing between you and God.Kill your idols.Cut off what's killing you.Put Jesus back on the throne.He's not trying to ruin your life.He's trying to save it.#KillYourIdols #NexusChurch #SundayRecap #PastorJonPurkey #JesusOverEverything #NoOtherGods #BreakTheCycle #FreedomStartsHere #WorshipTheKing

God is FAITHFUL!!! The Bible constantly shows us the character of God and it is GOOD. His promises are trustworthy, and his mercy is greater than we have ever given Him credit for. Psalm 119:90Numbers 23:19Joshua 23:14Hebrews 10:23 Proverbs 3:5-6Jeremiah 33:3Hebrews 11:62 Thessalonians 3:3Psalm 89:1-2Psalm 92:1-2Psalm 34:1-4Lamentations 3:21-24These are just some of the passages of scripture that show us that:

If you don't build the habit of prayer, you'll stay stuck in the habit of defeat. When Hezekiah prayed, God heard—and He still hears today. Prayer isn't a last resort, it's your lifeline. Talk less, pray more Word.Proverbs 18:21 says life and death are in the power of your tongue—so speak life.Isaiah 43:26 says remind God of His Word—so find scripture that promises what you need and declare it boldly.Comparison will kill your calling. Don't let a curious heart keep you from your God-given race. Study what you were called to do and stop measuring your journey by someone else's.The devil doesn't respect your power trip—he respects truth.When you rest, God works. That's why He commands us to rest.Build your life on the Word. Pray it. Live it. Watch God move.

Do you have enough faith to trust the process of a life lived for Christ? What kind of habits are you developing? Our habits have the power to build us up or tear us down!!!! Galatians 6 reminds us to not grow weary in doing good. The trials of life can cause us to question if what we are doing is worth it, but we KNOW there is a harvest and a promise when we persevere!!!! A continual push forward keeps the fires of life from burning us up!!!! God is always with us, strengthening us and encouraging us!!! Develop endurance in your life by remembering:

What season of life are you in right now? A season of favor? Famine? The account of Joseph's life in Genesis gives us the blueprint for how to navigate the highs and lows of life while continually moving forward. Joseph refused to look to the past and what had been, keeping his eyes on God and using his gifts in EVERY circumstance to bring glory to Him. Because of Joseph's response to the famine seasons of his life, the fruit he bore in the seasons of favor was ripe and plentiful. How we cultivate our strengths during seasons of favor, will determine our ability to withstand seasons of famine!!!!! Keep your emotions in check, and your focus on Christ, who is the author and finisher of your faith! This season might be tough, but it's not the end of your story!!!!

Potholes, we love to hate em! Every one of us has hit at least a few in our lives. For the most part, they come without warning or announcement. To mature is to realize we will 100% face problems in our lives, both avoidable and unavoidable. How we navigate these problems defines how we come through the season they so often place us in!!!! Proverbs 22:3 teaches us that anticipating problems is not a lack of faith, but a sign of wisdom. God has a destination point, a calling for our life. As we travel the road towards destiny, setbacks will occur, it is inevitable. However, in 2 Samuel 6 we learn from King David how to hit a pothole of life, fall down, and GET BACK UP!!! No matter what you've gone through, are going through right now, or will go through in the future, you can have a renewed sense of passion and joy in your life! If you've been feeling hopeless or downcast, sad or confused, look to Christ who is the great Restorer!!!

If you don't get your thoughts under control, your life will always be out of control! God's Word tells us that He had mighty things in store for you and your best days are in front of you. Any thoughts that fail to line up with those two things aren't worthy of your attention! If you're only focused on what you've lost, you'll never have the capacity to focus on what God has in store for your life. Keep on your spiritual armor through the daily renewing of your mind and live victoriously through Jesus! Don't allow the enemy to get a stronghold that will leave you oppressed and hopeless! Build a fortress of the Word of God around your heart and experience all of the healing, wholeness, and direction the Lord has planned for your life!

It's time for you to reprogram your mind with the truth of the Word! Whatever occupies your mind will determine your destiny, and you'll never be able to claim victory until you learn to think in line with the truth. Satan will work overtime to flood your mind with images, trying to pull you into sin, but remember: sin doesn't kill you all at once. It starts with seeds of thought that will grow if you don't cast those thoughts down! Don't let torment become your comfort! Don't be someone who doesn't know who they are without their pain! Guard your heart ABOVE ALL ELSE and BELIEVE what God says you can do! Start speaking the Word over your pain, your heartbreak, your finances, your relationships, your family, your LIFE, and watch our God begin to work the miracles He's promised you!

LIVE LIKE JESUS!!!The evidence of those who are disciples of Christ is transformation and real life change! When we look to Jesus as our example, and allow the Holy Spirit to lead us, it's impossible to stay the same!!! The notion that our actions don't matter is not biblical. Jesus requires us to be DOERS not just PROFESSORS!!!!!!

While your enemies are plotting against you, God is preparing a breakthrough in your favor! We cannot have blessings without enemies, and in the midst of our pain, God gives us a promise for a greater future. He doesn't base our next chapter on what we've lost or what's behind us. Faith is forward-moving! Don't get caught up in looking at your past; don't get stuck in reverse! Don't let yourself idolize His blessings when they're just the overflow of His goodness! Just as God parted the Red Sea to both deliver His people and destroy their enemies, He will show you a road you never knew existed, giving you power to pass through troubled waters! With faith, we partner with the invisible to accomplish the impossible! Stop wrestling! Stop vindicating yourself! Focus on Jesus, not the conflict, because the anointing of God is about to do what flesh never could!

What an incredible Sunday diving into Psalm 23 and discovering the unshakable truth of God's presence in our lives!

What an incredible Sunday diving into Psalm 23 and discovering the unshakable truth of God's presence in our lives!

No matter how bad things get, there is always a “surely” at the end of your story! Psalm 23 is a testament to God's unwavering faithfulness — His promise is sure, no matter how dark the valley. Satan will try to deceive you into thinking your situation is hopeless, but we have something far more powerful than the enemy's deceit and lies: a personal relationship with the Lord that unlocks the benefits of His Word! Don't let yourself be a victim! Don't let your pain change His promise! Never forget the goodness of God that draws us to repentance! God won't force you to follow, but He's asking — are you willing to be led? Place your trust in Him and experience the goodness and mercy He has planned for all the days of your life!

Are you full of joy? Or does your answer to that question depend on how the day has gone? It is possible to live a life of joy DESPITE circumstance and situation!!!! Determine to be resolute in joy, allowing no thing, no situation, and no person to have access to your storehouse of joy. Satan constantly sends distractions to us in an attempt to rob us of joy. Refuse to allow him to succeed!!! If the devil can't steal your joy, he can't keep your goods!!! As we enter in to 2025, make an active choice to maintain joy in ALL areas of life!!! Develop an attitude of praise and thanksgiving even when it doesn't make sense!!! Understand that confident joy comes from Christ alone, and in Him you can have the victory!!!!!!

A powerful prayer life starts when we INVITE God in to our everyday life and situations!!! It's easy to fall in to the habit of informing God of all the things going wrong, and all the ways we are struggling, however there is NO power in complaining. Shift your perspective and begin to extend an invitation to the Lord to intervene in EVERY area of your life!!!! It won't take long for you to start recognizing how often He moves on your behalf. What is currently stealing your joy? What is currently threatening your peace? Invite God directly in to those situations and strip off all of your old habits and mindsets. Tomorrow belongs to God, look to the future and trust in Him!!!!

Do you want to be made whole? What area of your life have you stayed comfortable in for far too long?! Jesus' encounter with the man at Bethesda challenges us to look at our lives and find places where we have allowed disfunction to hinder us from growing. To mature in the Lord and see progress, we MUST get rid of the barriers built by our past choices and experiences.

Do you really understand that God is with you?! Are you confident in Christ and the power that's at work in your life?! The life of David is a perfect example for how we should face adversity and the storms of life. Before David fought Goliath, he declared the victory; not through his own might but through the power of Almighty God!!!!!! We must keep our eyes focused on Christ and remember that He is and always will be Emmanuel, God with us!!!! Because of His presence, we WILL come out of every valley and every storm and reign victorious over the things in life that come to take us out!!!!

Praise God that in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God! Jesus was not just a man, not just a prophet, but the eternal, uncreated Son of God! The power of the gospel is in the revelation of who Jesus really is: the image of the invisible God! When you start thinking of Jesus as a created being, you miss the fact that He is the eternal redeemer who existed before your mistakes, your mess, and your pain. He was already carrying the weight of your sin on the cross before you ever failed! Jesus is not reactive to your failure; He is proactive in His love! Don't let the world convince you that Jesus only cares about your success, your purpose, or your strength. He's our Kinsman Redeemer, the one who stepped down from Heaven, not because He had to, but because He was willing to pay the price for your redemption. He wasn't forced to come to earth — He chose to become one of us, to carry our burden, to destroy the works of the devil and transform our weakness into victory. Your pain, your failure, your chaos cannot cancel the mission that Christ has placed on your life! He came to save you, not to sympathize with you, and He is with you now, transforming your weakness into strength! Keep your eyes on Him! Joy and blessings are coming, in Jesus' mighty name!

Patience. It's a fruit of the spirit, and one that most of us would say we don't operate in very often. In our culture of now, with fear of missing out at an all time high, patience can seem to be unattainable. However, the Word promises that our patience will grow as our faith is tested. When the storms of life come, are we placing our trust in God and responding only how and when He wants us to?! If we choose to WAIT with confident trust in our great God, our patience will grow and we will find ourselves able to navigate the tough times of life with joy and peace unaffected!!!!!
