In this powerful message, we explore the profound symbolism of Jesus as the Lion of Judah. We're reminded that Christ's authority extends over all realms - spiritual and natural. Just as Jesus calmed the storm and cast out demons, He has authority over the storms in our lives. But are we fully submitting to His authority? This isn't about losing our freedom; it's about gaining true purpose under a loving King. We're challenged to obey God's word, trust His will even when it's difficult, and repent from self-rule. The message urges us to live in the freedom of Christ's victory over sin and death. We're not meant to walk in defeat, but in the power of His resurrection. As we face life's battles, are we trusting in Christ's protection? Let's remember that in Him, we are bold as lions. This teaching invites us to surrender our struggles to the One who has already secured our victory.
In this powerful message, we're reminded of the deeply personal nature of our relationship with God. The story of the Samaritan woman at the well from John 4 takes center stage, illustrating how Jesus meets us exactly where we are, regardless of our past. This encounter emphasizes that our worship isn't about a specific place or ritual, but about connecting with God in spirit and truth. We're challenged to consider: How often do we let our past define us, when God is ready to give us a new purpose? The message beautifully parallels our own lives with the woman's, showing that God can use our struggles and mistakes to reach others. It's a call to drop our 'water pots' - the things we cling to for security - and embrace the living water Christ offers. This overview reminds us that no matter how many times we've fallen, our names are still inscribed on God's hands. He's fighting for us, even when we resist Him. It's time to step into the new life He's prepared, letting go of shame and embracing His unforgettable, transformative love.
In this powerful message, we're reminded of the transformative power of thinking big about God. The central story of Numbers 13 and 14 illustrates how small-mindedness can hinder our faith journey. Just as the Israelites stood at the edge of the Promised Land, we too often find ourselves on the brink of breakthrough, held back by our own limiting beliefs. The contrast between the fearful spies and the faith-filled Joshua and Caleb challenges us to examine our own perspective. Are we seeing ourselves as grasshoppers in the face of giants, or are we trusting in the bigness of our God? This message encourages us to shift our focus from the size of our problems to the magnitude of God's power and promises. It's a call to embrace a faith that sees beyond the visible obstacles and believes in the unseen possibilities that God has prepared for us. As we learn to think big about God, we open ourselves to experience His miraculous work in our lives, transforming not just our circumstances, but our very identities.
Love is deep affection, attention, and care for others and oneselfGod's love covers our sins and imperfectionsThe church is called to love unconditionally, as Christ loves usChristians should create safe spaces for confession and healingLove is the antidote to fear and judgmentWe must remember God's grace in our lives and extend it to others
God meets us at the altar when we come to worship HimTrue worship involves surrendering ourselves completely to GodThe Holy Spirit can work through any believer to provide prophetic insightWe should be grateful for God's rescue and salvation in our livesEvery Christian has a responsibility to share the gospel and bring others to churchThe church should function as a mission, not just a social clubGod's love and grace are sufficient to cover all our sins
The next great revival will come through evangelism and serviceChristians should live beyond the cross, embracing the power of Christ's resurrectionBelievers should enjoy their lives as a testimony to God's goodnessHumility is about "stooping" to allow others to be seen, not completely diminishing oneselfIt's important to celebrate wins with gratitude and give God the creditLiving purposefully and making an impact on others is crucialChanging from a "default thinking" mindset to one of intentional livingThe importance of forgiveness and living out the truth God has given

Moving beyond the initial salvation experience at the cross to fully embrace the freedom, power, and love that comes with living in Christ's resurrection. Open the "gift" of salvation completely and live in the reality of being God's children.Key Points:The cross is a critical point in history and personal salvation, but we must move beyond itMany believers struggle with past hurts, sins, and failures, preventing them from fully embracing God's loveGod's love and forgiveness are complete; we don't need to keep paying penance for past sinsLiving beyond the cross means experiencing restoration, power, dignity, and freedom in ChristReceiving God's love is the solution to healing from past hurts and living in victoryWe are children of God now, with an even greater future revelation of our identity in Christ
Self-discipline and self-discovery essential components of spiritual growth. Believers need to focus on themselves in a godly way, not out of selfishness, but to better understand and fulfill their purpose in Christ. Evaluate our relationships, habits, and thought patterns, to align more closely with God's will. Allow God to overflow in their lives rather than depleting ourselves.
Strategic Silence: Not everything requires our reaction or input. Sometimes, remaining silent allows others to confront their own actions and words without the comfort of our reaction.Selective Speaking: Practice meekness by speaking only when necessary and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide our words. This helps us respond with clarity, poise, and dignity.Strategic Timing: Like Jesus, we should learn to wait for the right moment to act or speak, trusting in God's perfect timing.
Jesus is the life, and understanding Him is key to understanding true life.
Jesus is the embodiment of truth, and living in His truth sets us free.
God's grace is unmerited and cannot be earned.We are saved by grace through faith, not by our works.Grace transforms us from being spiritually dead to being alive in Christ.
God's acceptance is available to us through faith in Jesus Christ.
We must actively fight back against the enemy by living in obedience and faith.
5 things to know to be battle ready.1. Be careful of presumption. Romans 12:32. Don't fight in the dark. Luke 11:34-363. Your obedience torments the devil. James 4:74. Every stronghold must come down. 2 Corinthians 10:45. I must cancel the agreement. 1 John 5:7
- A single word from God can transform lives and destinies.- The battlefield of spiritual warfare begins in the mind.- Being persuaded in faith is crucial for overcoming spiritual battles.- Renewing our minds with the mind of Christ is essential for spiritual growth.- The enemy uses distractions and lies to hinder our spiritual progress.
Discipline in prayer, fasting, and reading the Word is crucial in spiritual warfare
The battle is already won through Jesus Christ's finished work on the cross.
Never let circumstances change the revelation of God in your life.
Martha was worried about much and Mary chose the better part, to sit at Jesus' feet. 3 practical directives to banish worry1. No more distractions - with what you think God wants. He wants you! 2. Stop worrying about what other people are doing - mind your own business. 3. Don't spend so much time being in His service that we miss spending time sitting at the Throne of the Father, receiving from Jesus, and Holy Spirit.
3 internal truths about worrying:1. Worrying doesn't display your focus, worrying displays your lack of faith2. Worrying doesn't demonstrate your depth of care, worrying demonstrates your affinity with control.3. Worrying destroys the image of God in you. It destroys the image of God in you. You where we're made in His Image and we're made in his likeness.You destroy worrying by seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth!

Crushing is a process the same as Justification, Sanctification, Transformation, and Salvation. We shouldn't be afraid of this process. In this process a divine reversal has and is happening where a part of you must die while another part in you must live. God's divine reversal has and is taking place because hope doesn't disappoint and even in defeat you end up winning. Don't give up in the crushing, the last shall become first!
When we have experienced a crushing, are we speedily moving out and on from it or have we slowed down to take it all in? Have we run back to busy, have we acknowledged the loss, have we been so inundated with the work of God that we have forgotten that God has been with us through the crushing? When we haven't slowed down, we miss the love of the Father has been with us in, through, and after the crushing. Let's slow down to receive His love and then give that love to another!
You are in the Potter's hand. You may be marred but you are still in His hand and He is making you into that which seems good to Him. God is not done with making you!

What is God's next move? As with Moses, His next move is us. God led Moses through this method and He will lead us through it too! 1. Identify with God - Exodus 3:6: God shows us the way. He identifies with those He has made covenant with.2. Identify with the people - Exodus 3:7: When we identify with people, we are identifying with the heart of God.3. Identify with the movement - Exodus 3:10: God has chosen us, we are God's choice, regardless of us and God only chooses well!4. Identify with the process - Exodus 3 & 4: Don't get stuck in a position when God wants to move us.
We must release our faith for the next move of God. We don't need more faith but we need to give faith more of us! Here are 3 things we need to know to get to the next level and give faith more of ourselves. 1. Everybody can't go (Luke 8:51)2. Everybody can't stay (Luke 8:52-53)3. Make room and let God in everywhere (Matthew 9:24)
Why limit faith when we are dealing with a Sovereign God? Release your faith!
Nehemiah informed his enemies that he was doing a great work and he could not come down. The enemy has a plan to try to get us to come down and cease the work for the Kingdom. Here are 3 things the enemy will try to get you to come down and cease the work of making disciples.1. Attack our focus and thinking. Do we have a mind to work or a mind to be distracted?2. Attack strength and wisdom and do physical harm. The enemy is going to threaten, will the work continue?3. Attack against integrity - character assassination. The enemy is setting a trap to accuse. Jesus could not and did not come down until "it is finished" because of the great work He was commissioned to do. To save us from death, hell, and the grave. Don't come down, we can't stop now!
Hold onto the Word because the Word is holding onto you. Don't hold onto the temporal things, feelings or emotions but hold onto The Word who never changes and is eternal. Hold onto the Word in faith.
