God always keeps His Word!  He says that we will reap what we sow.  Most people always take the negative side of this.  We can rejoice in the good side of this reality.  When we sow good things, we will reap good things.  This is powerful!

There is power in our words and actions.  Everything we do and say is a seed to our future.  People often look at the negative side of sowing and reaping and express to people they get what they deserve when they do wrong.  Let's look at the other side of the coin. When you sow good things, you will experience and reap good things. We can have confidence in this promise of God!

When storms of life hit, they provide a time to re-evaluate the big picture.  Many storms are not caused by God, but when we go through them, God doesn't want us to go back to the way things were before them!

Storms of life will come and they create problems and destruction.  The question is not if they will come, but how we will react to them.  This message was spoken a week after Hurricane Sandy and applies to all storms of life!

We will all go through storms.  The reality of whether or not we will stand is the foundation that we stand on.  Let's learn to stand on the rock of Jesus through every storm!

Forgiveness is not only about setting someone free of their sin, it is about you being set free from the sin they committed against you. Listen to learn about what forgiveness is and what it is not. True forgiveness ends dysfunctional behaviors and improves life while maintaining and even building healthier boundaries.

Can you imagine that Jesus while hanging on the cross was able to say: "Father forgive them for they know not what they do"?Jesus was able to walk in the freedom of forgiveness even through the worst imaginable circumstances. Learn how you can also walk in the power of forgivess.

The gospel is meant to tear down barriers and build bridges.  It first does that between us and God and then between us and people.  As the gospel infiltrates every part of our lives, we begin to change in many different.  Lets explore how when Jesus met the women at the well, cultural and racial barriers needed to be torn down so that she could receive the gospel.

God is looking for people who have ears to hear.  God is a speaking God and wants to direct you in greater ways.  Position yourself to hear from God and get ready for God to speak!

We begin this message with God calling Samuel.  At first he didn't understand it was God.  What is amazing was that God kept calling His name unitl he understood it was God calling.  God is calling, do you understand its Him?

Fasting allows us to be focused on God in a way that quiets down our flesh and opens our spiritual ears to hear from God. Fasting is one of the most important things we can do if we are serious about our spiritual growth.

The Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk - but of power.  How is that power released? One of the ways is through fasting.  Let's take a good look at how fasting releases the power of God in a believers life.

How would your life be different if you continued to pray until you achieved the needed breakthrough?  The Bible is full of stories of delayed answers at times to prayer.  What if Daniel quit praying after a week?  What if Jacob stopped wrestling in the middle of the night and walked away without his blessing.  What does God have for you that you need to wrestle for in prayer?

Everyone wants to say a prayer one time in faith and see it answered.  But what do you do when that doesn't happen?  Let's look into Jacob's life when he wrestled all night until he received his blessing and breakthrough so show us an example of what breakthrough prayer can be like.

The more we grow, the more stable our lives become. We will also not be blown around by the trials of life. If we want something more - its time to grow. If we want something different - it's time to grow! 

Whether we are 10 years old or 50, when we begin our relationship with Jesus, we are spiritual babies. How much we grow will be determined by the amount of time spent with God, His people and how much "spiritual food" we eat. Unlike our physical bodies, we will be growing spiritually for the rest of our life! So whether you are new to Christ or have been serving Him for years - it's time to grow!

Imagine if every Christian took prayer seriously and began to pray for their city.  Not trying to change everything in a day, but each person trusting God to change one thing at a time.  The problems in our cities took time to build.  As we win one victory at a time through prayer, we can see our cities changed!

You have the ability to change your city through prayer!  Whether it is a person's life, a school, a crime issue or the overall spiritual atmosphere, prayer changes things.  As you live your daily life, watch for things that are outside of God's will, pray that God's will takes place in that persons life or in that situation.  Pray that God brings order where chaos exists, and that His love and Presence would rule and reign in your city!

Too many people sit back as their friends and family go through life without Jesus.  You can be the bridge that connects people to God.

Jesus came to be the bridge back to God the Father.  When Jesus went back to the Father He commissioned us to continue His work and be bridges to Him!

This message started with discussong that Jesus was constantly growing.  During His life and with the resurection, He overcame everything inclduing Satan, sickness, pain, rejection, brokeness, the sin of the world and even death!  His overcoming was connected to His growth.  If you need to overcome some things, commit to growing and watch what God will do!

Jesus left heaven to walk the streets of planet earth because He cares about us!  He spent His life caring for people. As His followers, we are to grow to be more like Him. One of the things that people seldom think about is the growth of Jesus.  Jesus spent a good amount of time in prayer, in scripture, serving, working and growing! This is our example.

God's grace is amazinig.  It forgives the unforgiveable and empowers us to do what we can't do in our own strength.  Grace changes us to be more like Jesus!

Champions are built when no one is watching.  God sees and is cheering you on even if no one else is! Champions are people who give everything they have and at the end of life, it makes all the difference!

Becoming a champion takes time.  Whether in the natural or the spiritual nobody becomes a champion overnight.  Champions are built day by day and year by year!  Keep growing and keep going!

Knowing Christ is a progressive relationship. The more you pursue Christ and spend time with Him, the deeper the relationship will be. There is no such thing as knowing Jesus too much!

Christ came that we may have life and have it abundantly!  But living well is a process that takes time. Lets engage in the process and see what God has in store!

Jesus came that we may have life and have it more abundantly.  Much of following Christ is about service, sacrifice and putting others ahead of ourselves, but there is a component that Christ came that we would enjoy and live life to the full!  Let's live well!

Life is so much different when you give all that you have! Christ came that we may have life and have it to the full but we have to get up and go for it each day. Let's live lives that speak of not regretting what could have been!

The happiest and most fulfilled people I have ever met have one thing in common, they have given all they have!  When you give all you have and leave it on the field, you can live life without regrets!

Giving is a blessing and the happiest people are those with giving hearts!  An amazing thing also happens when people join together to give.  Whether it is focussed on a church or a ministry, when giving is combined, it goes a lot further than when any one person gives!

God is a giver God!  For God so loved the world that He GAVE!  Giving is in our spiritual DNA and the happiest people are those with giving hearts!

God created you with a purpose but the challenge is discovering what that purpose is and then walking it out. Lets take a journey as we not only line in our purposes but walk each day on purpose!

Jesus Christ is the greatest CHAMPION of all time!  He defeated sin, Satan and death! We are made in His image to overcome and live in victory as He did!

Jesus came that we may have life and have it more abundantly!  He is the overcomer and wants to teach us how to live and walk in His overcoming power!
