Often in life, what we know in our mind and what we feel in our hearts are not aligned. In part 6 of The Cure, we get to see God's path to the Room of Grace from the pages of scripture in such a way that our minds can be put to rest and allow our hearts to rejoice in the opportunity we are given as Christians to experience a new identity and then mature into it. If you ever feel like you still have to work so hard to feel good enough for God, this message is for you. Whether you are a new Christian or a seasoned saint, we are all susceptible to the subtle whispers of the enemy who keeps us trying to earn what was given to us as a gift. Let this message be a gift to move you from striving to thriving in your journey with God.Support the show

What happens between Sundays?Did God design the church to be more than a Sunday expression?The word Church (ecclesia) means called out ones.- Called out TO operate by His authority and anointing.- Called out TO operate by His presence and power.- Called out TO reclaim God's dominion through man.- Called out TO legislate as God's representative.- Called out TO Advance Heaven.- Called out TO Stop Hell.This message is about what God's been saying to me lately about Hisvision for One City Church. In this message we look at Luke 5:1-11 whereGod calls Peter, James, and John to be fishers of men. From this passage,we look at the backstory of One City Church, where we are today, andwhere we are going in the future.Tune into this message and see the parallels between our personal callingto God and our corporate mission together. Lastly in this message, we'llbriefly see how Jesus recreates the situation in John 21 to restore Peterafter his three denials.Regardless of your journey, I'm confident all of us need to experience sometype of restoration. Stay to the very end and you'll have the opportunity toexperience restoration on a very personal level.Support the show

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus?  In first century Israel, you would regularly see rabbis walking along the road or teaching at your local synagogue. They were revered teachers, not just of the Torah, but of life. Behind the rabbi would be a group of students, called talmidim. This word literally means Student, Disciple, Learner, or Follower. Many scholars argue the best word for disciple in the English language is apprentice.  The goal wasn't to learn about something, but to become someone.  This message looks at our unhealthy and healthy responses to pain and suffering. It's important for us to realize that we can't live well enough to avoid all pain and suffering in this world. In fact, Jesus says in John 16:33, “In this world you will have tribulation (trouble).” That's not comforting. Well, I've got good news, that's only half of the verse. The second half of John 16:33 says, “But take heart; I have overcome the world.” In this message, we're going to talk about ways to face our pain instead of stuffing it. When you stuff it, you are creating a volcano. Since pain is inevitable; it is essential for us to learn how to deal with our pain and suffering in healthy ways instead of unhealthy ways. Here's the bottom line: Pain always points! What is your pain pointing to? It's time to go beyond the symptom to the core issue. It's time for us to do more than cope; it is time for us to heal. Do you want to heal? Tune into the message and the choise to heal.Support the show

Many scholars argue the best word for disciple in the English language is apprentice.The goal wasn't to learn about something, but to become someone. Unfortunately, most of the formation in our life is unintentional. There are six primary forces that act upon our formation positively and negatively.- Our Relationships- Our Environments- Our Stories- Our Habits- Our Experience- The Passage of TimeIt's time for us to transition from unintentional formation to intentional formation. These many ways to influence our formation, but nothing influences us more than three driving goals: Be with Jesus, Become like Jesus, and Do what He did. It's our responsibility to turn these goals into habits. We can't have a holy life without holy habits. At the end of the day, we're only as healthy as our habits. This message ends with the following evaluation questions:- WHO am I BECOMING?- Do you LIKE who you are BECOMING?- WHAT will improve WHO you are the most?- WHAT will improve YOUR TRAJECTORY the MOST?

The primary textbook was the Bible. It was an oral culture. By 12 or 13, most students have memorized the Torah.At that point, most students went home to apprentice in family business or work the family farm; but the best of the best would to a second level of education. It was called Bet Midrash, The House of Learning. By 17 years of age, they would have memorized the Old Testament.At this point, the vast majority were done. But the best of the best of the best would apprentice under a rabbi.One's entire life was organized around three driving goals:To be WITH your rabbi (Jesus).To become LIKE your rabbi (Jesus).To DO as your rabbi (Jesus) did.These three goals should drive our life today and everyday.

In this third and final week of Peace Beyond Christmas: A Priority Time Series, Karin Conleewraps up this series with an important finale. Finding peace beyond Christmas starts withallowing your heart to attach to God each day, both before and after Christmas. It is often verypractical things that prevent people from growing in their relationship with the Lord. Where do Istart in the Bible? How long should my Priority Time be? What if I don't understand everything Iread? Karin addresses common barriers and misunderstandings about spending time in theWord and in prayer, and then uses Matthew 1:22-25 to help every believer see how a fewsimple tools can turn familiar passages we often read without expecting real-time applicationinto meaningful moments with the Lord and into application for our lives today.

In part 2 of Peace Beyond Christmas: A Priority Time Series, Karin Conlee uses the Christmasaccount found in Matthew 1:18-22 to both bring the Christmas story to light and to show how thefour ingredients of a Priority Time provide some simple best practices that take your time in theword from an academic exercise to a personal encounter with the Lord. God does not providethe inspired word of God to simply increase our Bible IQ, but as a love letter to His children. AsKarin unpacks the “How” of a Priority Time and its benefits, the ancient account of Josephbecomes a relevant passage for each of us to personally apply to our own lives.​So often in church, we are told to read the Bible and pray without any guidance. A Priority Time,a daily, unhurried time to get to know God through the Bible and prayer, is a simple yet powerfulapproach that will help every believer grow in their connection to the Lord.​Want to try using the tools in your own Priority Time? Don't miss the 10 Day Christmas PriorityTime Plan at karinconlee.com so you can try it for yourself. This 10-day resource will help youwalk through other Christmas passages in a fresh way every Christmas season.

In Peace Beyond Christmas: A Priority Time Series, prepare for a one-two punch. TheChristmas season is often so full of activities to celebrate with friends and family that we neglectthe very relationship we are celebrating. We arrive at Christmas morning more disconnectedfrom Christ than we want to admit. In Peace Beyond Christmas, Karin Conlee will take biblicalaccounts of the Christmas story and the tools of a Priority Time to model what it looks like tospend time in the Bible and prayer in a way that allows us to see how God wants to apply thetimeless truths of the nativity scene in a very relevant way to each believer's life.​So often in church, we are told to read the Bible and pray without any guidance. A Priority Time,a daily, unhurried time to get to know God through the Bible and prayer, is a simple yet powerfulapproach that will help every believer grow in their connection to the Lord. In this first messageof the series, Karin confronts the most important question and provides a very unexpectedanswer to “Why should you have a Priority Time?”​The truths of this message resonated so deeply with the Conlees nearly 30 years ago that theyhave continued to fuel their personal time with the Lord ever since. Prayerfully, it will have justas lasting an impact on each listener.

Portrait: See What God Sees in You Pt. 3 (William Bell)

We live into the identity we behold. That's the central truth explored in this message, which looks at God not only as Creator—but as Artist. From the very beginning, God created mankind in His image, and He continues to shape and reveal that image in us today. Just as a great portrait captures more than a likeness—it reflects soul, story, and destiny—so too, God's Word and presence are like a mirror that shows us the best of who we are becoming. In contrast to the false mirrors of shame, inferiority, or regret, this message explores how Jesus is the perfect portrait: both aspirational and relatable, reflecting the fullness of God and the redemption of our truest selves. When we allow God to show us who we really are, it transforms how we live, love, and serve.
