Not everything happening around us is God's will. The Devil wants to isolate us, trap us in doubt, and undermine our trust in God's design. We must be vigilant and prepared to stand firm against his wicked schemes, recognizing his temptations without losing focus on God. In this message, we learned about the importance of resisting the enemy, embracing God's grace, and allowing God to use our past, including our failures, for His purpose. BEYOND THE SERMON

Which reality do you want to live in? You can choose the Devil's empty and false reality, filled with fear and lack, or Christ's abundant reality, filled with everything pertaining to life and godliness. Christ's way leads you to experience His Kingdom and glory on Earth. In part five of the series Reversing the Devil's Decisions Pastor Duane explains that in order to reverse the Devil's influence in the world, you must start with yourself and recognize areas influenced by the Devil's lies. BEYOND THE SERMON
When you're constantly focused on the past, it affects your present. Though it's not easy, letting go of the past frees you to receive what God has for you and align yourself with His will. It enables you to get back on track and move forward without looking back. God has a plan for your life, but it's your choice to follow it. BEYOND THE SERMON
Satan can attack our thoughts, trying to get us to believe lies. The world bombards us from every angle through the news, culture, social media, and friends. It's not enough to know what's right; we have to do what's right. That's why continually renewing our minds and staying focused on God is so important. Pastor Duane explains in this message that the Bible is our manual, teaching us how to live and handle the challenges we face in a Christ-like way. BEYOND THE SERMON

Today, we are starting a new series: Reversing the Devil's Decisions. Pastor Duane highlights the ongoing struggle between God's purpose—filled with peace and hope—and the devil's attempts to steal, kill, and destroy. Despite these attacks on various aspects of our lives, we are called in 1 Peter 5:9 to resist him and stand steadfast in the faith. Today's message focuses on developing a victorious mindset and internalizing God's empowering view of us, as capable and empowered individuals. BEYOND THE SERMON
Today, Pastor Duane is explaining God's Favor. Unlike favors from people that require something in return, God's favor is free!

BEYOND THE SERMON
It is important to seek God and find encouragement in Him during uncertain and troubling times. Today, Pastor Duane turns to look at some of the Biblical heroes and how, when they sought after God in their storms, God was faithful and turned adversity into blessings. We are called to live by faith and not by fear. BEYOND THE SERMON
Jesus endured immense suffering and betrayal, yet He chose to forgive. Forgiveness is not about excusing wrongs or waiting for an apology, but about releasing anger and bitterness that can poison our lives. It's a decision of faith, empowered by God's grace, and essential for spiritual freedom and peace. In this message Pastor Duane not only reminds us why it's so important that we - who God has forgiven - also forgive others, but also gives us the steps to go about doing this. BEYOND THE SERMON
Pastor Duane's message today is gonna blow you away! He's breaking down this super important truth: God's healing is a totally free gift, not something we have to work for. It's all about trusting in His love for us, just like Jesus did when he healed people – not because they deserved it, but because He loved them. We're gonna dive into the Bible to see what it says about our authority over sickness and how we can stand strong in faith against it. BEYOND THE SERMON
Today we welcome Pastor Daniel Vander Klok who is explaining how we can find peace and overcome anxiety and depression in the face of life's storms. He explains how our focus and mindset can greatly impact our emotional state, emphasizing the importance of fixing our eyes on Jesus and casting our anxieties on Him. BEYOND THE SERMON
Our feelings change frequently and we can't trust them. The Bible teaches us that the Devil - also called the Accuser - can cause us to experience negative or incorrect feelings and then deceive us into believing those emotions are accurate. This message Pastor Duane provides us with strategies for victory, by teaching how to wield the authority and power that Jesus has given us in order to overcome every obstacle and live victoriously in Him. BEYOND THE SERMON
The Bible tells us we're not wrestling against flesh and blood, but against demonic forces. Ephesians 6 tells us we have authority over these forces, but how do we exercise that authority?

We'll explore how our words can be powerful weapons in this spiritual battle. BEYOND THE SERMON
Many Christians believe Jesus died for them, which is absolutely true. But there's another dimension: Jesus also died as us. This incredible exchange grants us access to the Kingdom of God, a reality far greater than we can imagine. But the war isn't over. Even as victors, we still face the enemy's schemes. So how do we walk in the dominion Christ purchased for us? Let's explore this together in today's message: Jesus: The Victor. BEYOND THE SERMON
Today we began by looking at Genesis 1, where God created Adam and Eve and gave them dominion over the Earth. However, Satan deceived them, and they lost that dominion. The Bible tells us this resulted in sin and death entering the world. Today's message focuses on the good news: Jesus came to "undo the devil's works." Pastor Duane will explore how Jesus' sacrifice on the cross restored the dominion rightfully belonging to humanity. BEYOND THE SERMON
When Jesus was on earth he demonstrated what it looks like to walk within the will of God. And today God wants to demonstrate the devil's defeat through you. In Jesus: Our Supplier Pastor Duane explains that you don't have to wait for God to show up and give you power; He already has and is waiting for you to use it in His Name. BEYOND THE SERMON
The Gospel is what Jesus did in His death, burial, and resurrection. Believing in the Gospel grants us access to God's power for deliverance.

1 Peter 2:9 says, "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;" We don't often remember that God made us to be priests and that we actually have priestly duties to carry out, here on earth. In this message Pastor Duane shows us from the Word exactly how you were made a priest and what those duties are. BEYOND THE SERMON

In a world that is constantly evolving, where values and beliefs are tested by the winds of change, our role as faithful stewards of our traditions becomes more crucial than ever before.

In a world that's ever-connected, guarding our hearts is like blocking the haters on social media—essential! Let's get started with today's message Breaking Free.

In the Sound of Victory Pastor Duane teaches how we need to equip ourselves with the wisdom to stand firm against the adversary.
Satan wants something that rightfully belongs to God – worship. He will do anything to deceive and manipulate us into bowing to his wicked schemes, including using our own words.

But we have an advantage as Satan doesn't know our deepest thoughts or the amazing plans that God has in store for our lives. We possess a divine advantage - the Element of Surprise! Let's get ready to equip ourselves against the devil's schemes.
