If God is For Us P2
Romans 8:31-32 (NKJV) What then shall we say to these things? IF GOD IS FOR US, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up FOR US all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Here’s the thing, the “IF” of If GOD IS FOR US, all hinges on us actually believing that what His words says is true.
Seeing The Kingdom P4
Let’s remember, without faith it’s impossible to please God. Remember Jesus words to Nicodemus, “unless one is born again, he cannot SEE THE KINGDOM of God.” And there’s only one way someone can be born again, and that is by faith. In other words, not only is it impossible to please God without faith, it’s impossible to see God without faith. Remember what faith is: a conviction based on evidence. A formal declaration. Evidence of the unseen.
If God Is For Us
v.37, God has made us to be more than conquerors IN HIM. (Hypernikao) super victorious, confidently overpowering in victory in Christ. Why would He do this? Because, whom He PREDESTINED, He also called; whom He CALLED, He also JUSTIFIED; and whom He justified, He also GLORIFIED.
Seeing the Kingdom P3
John 3:3 (NKJV) Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot SEE THE KINGDOM of God.” And here’s a key for the born-again, Jesus told us, It’s been given to us to know the mysteries of the Kingdom, to be able to SEE THE KINGDOM Everything surrounding the Kingdom of God hinges on this revelation; 1st, You must be born-again 2nd, The born-again only live one way YOU MUST BELIEVE— “The righteous shall live by faith.”
Seeing the Kingdom P2
John 3:3 (NKJV) Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot SEE THE KINGDOM of God.” In John 8, Jesus says this, “My Kingdom is not of this world.” Like we said last week, one of the biggest challenges the born-again face isn’t so much the powers of the kingdom of darkness, It’s our refusal to embrace the world we’re born of, embracing a way of living that is beyond humanity.
Unstoppable- Easter
Today we celebrate the resurrection of our King. Highlighting what God started from the beginning is unfolding just as He designed it to. His eternal, Heavenly plan is without question, UNSTOPPABLE The question every individual has to come to terms with is where do you fit in His plan.

Heavenly Diplomats P5
2 Corinthians 5:20 (NLT) We are CHRIST’S AMBASSADORS; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” Matthew 6, FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, seek the kingdom of Heaven. Remember last week we brought up Abraham’s life because Galatians 3 tells us, Since you are Christ’s family, then you are Abraham’s descendant and heirs according to the covenant promises.
Heavenly Diplomats P4
2 Corinthians 5:20 (NLT) We are CHRIST’S AMBASSADORS; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” Remember Philippians, CITIZENS OF HEAVEN, members of God’s House. Matthew 6:33 (AMP) “But FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANTLY seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness, His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God, and all these things will be given to you also.”
Heavenly Diplomats P3
2 Corinthians 5:21 (AMP) He made Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that IN HIM WE WOULD BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD that is, we would be MADE ACCEPTABLE to Him and placed in a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with Him by His gracious lovingkindness. 2 Corinthians 5:20 (NLT) We are CHRIST’S AMBASSADORS; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”
Seeing the Kingdom
Remember, Jesus is introducing His Kingdom to Nicodemus, a Kingdom they all had the wrong expectation of. And the first reality Jesus shares with Nicodemus is that a human must be born-again to be able to see this Kingdom. Let’s ask the Holy Spirit to open our imagination, giving us access to multidimensional thinking, in other words, the ability to see this Kingdom.
Heavenly Diplomats P2
2 Corinthians 5:20 (NLT) We are CHRIST’S AMBASSADORS; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” Remember, an ambassador is a kingdom diplomat, a skilled representative gifted in dealing with people in an effective way. As one of God’s Heavenly Diplomats, we’ve been commissioned by our King, to represent our Kingdom with authority and honor.
Heavenly Diplomats
Proverbs 29, Where there is no vision, no revelation, no DIVINE GUIDANCE, they do their own thing. MSG, “If people can’t SEE WHAT GOD IS DOING, they stumble all over themselves.”
Living Letters
2 Corinthians 3:3 (NLT) “Clearly, YOU ARE A LETTER FROM CHRIST showing the result of our ministry among you. This “letter” is written not with pen and ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. It is carved not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts.”
Why Should We Pray- Kate Sebastian
Luke 11:1-2 (NKJV) Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” So, He said to them, “when you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.”
Who Do You Say I Am
What we did What we didn’t do How we stewarded what He entrusted to us This should sober us, not scare us. Salvation is secure, but stewardship still matters.
Bring Your Bible
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. God knew that because of FREE WILL, humanity would have to have a POINT OF REFERENCE that truth stems from. So He put together a collection of books that we know as the Bible.
Teach Us To Pray P2
Luke 11:1 (NKJV) Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “LORD TEACH US TO PRAY...”

Here’s a phrase we introduced last week and it’s something every believer needs to get settled, “IT IS WRITTEN”

Bring Your Bible
“Bring Your Bible” is a simple reminder for all of us that actually believe the Bible to be the Word of God, to take a closer look as to how we got to those beliefs. Seriously, Is this book we call The Holy Bible actually God’s Word? As we said last week, we have to acknowledge that by design, there is an element of faith involved in accepting the Bible as The Word of God. THE BIBLE— (collection of books) 66 books, 40 writers, one author, 3 languages, over 1500 years The revelation of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom, came directly from Him to His c
Merry Christmas
John 18, paraphrase, Pilate is having a conversation with Jesus, and asks Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” Jesus looked at Pilate and said, “The royal power of my kingdom realm is not from this realm.” Then Pilate said, “so You are a king?” Jesus said, “I AM, I was born a King, and THIS IS WHY I HAVE COME INTO THIS REALM.” Here’s just a few other reasons mentioned in the scriptures of why Jesus came to earth: Matthew 5, I came to fulfill the Law and Prophets Matthew 10, I came to bring a sword, (to set apart from the world for...
Mind your Mind P2
Our new talk “Mind Your Mind” is a simple challenge for all of us to take a closer look at what’s influencing our mind. What’s shaping our thought life. Maybe even take a step back and ask ourselves, why we believe what we believe. Seriously, think about what we’re asking people to believe. We have to understand, regardless of where someone is in their journey, every human lives within the boundaries of a belief system we’ve established.
Healing Class Wednesday Night
What about us today? Now that we are in Christ, are we suppose to to carry on the things He did? Seriously, follow Jesus through the scriptures, every where He went to preach the people brought their sick to His meetings. Why? They had heard something. They came to hear Him and be healed
Healing Class
The question we need to ask ourselves is do we honestly believe that Jesus still heals today? Think about it, this side of Heaven, in this fallen, cursed world, outside of miracles or the practice of medicine, according to Jesus, healing by an individual’s faith is still a reality. And a key component in us experiencing healing by faith is that we have to get settled on what God’s will is concerning this reality.
Healing Class
Since God’s word is our foundation of truth, a lamp unto our feet, a light for our path. If Jesus told His first disciples to pray His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven, and God never changes, would it be fare to say we’re supposed to be doing the same thing His first disciples did?
Mind your Mind
Jeremiah 1:4-5 (NLT) The Lord gave me this message: “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I SET YOU APART and APPOINTED YOU as My prophet to the nations.” As we unpack our new talk today, “Mind Your Mind” get this reality settled in your thinking, just like God set apart a specific purpose for Jeremiah, He’s going to set His purpose apart for each of you.
Baptism
Today as we worship around our Lord’s table, as we celebrate with our family their bold declaration, as we honor our King, remember His sacrifice, remember His crucifixion is so much more than our passage to Heaven. Days like today acknowledge that we are “born again” new creations in Christ! John 3:3, 5-6 (NKJV) “Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” v.5-6, Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of...
Everybody Somebody Nobody Anybody P2
Jesus introduced Himself as love. God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. Love has to be expressed, you gotta give it away, and display it.
Everybody Somebody Nobody Anybody
EVERYBODY was sure SOMEBODY would do it. ANYBODY could have done it, but NOBODY did it. EVERYBODY thought ANYBODY could do it, but NOBODY realized EVERYBODY wouldn’t do it. In the end, EVERYBODY blamed SOMEBODY, when NOBODY did what ANYBODY could have done. Untimely, as a disciple of Jesus, if we’re going to represent Jesus, be an expression of Him, we can’t assume someone else will be the one to do it.
Plans Purposes Pursuits P4
Plans Purposes Pursuits P3
Here’s one of our big take homes, In order for God to RESTORE His land, His HOUSE had to be in order.
Plans Purposes Pursuits P2
This message takes us deep into the heart of what it means to live as God's people in a world that often mirrors ancient Babylon. Through the lens of Jeremiah's famous prophecy and Daniel's remarkable life, we're challenged to understand that our spiritual authority today far exceeds what even the greatest prophets of old possessed. The core revelation centers on Jeremiah 29:11—those familiar words about God's plans for us—but places them in their true context: spoken to captives in Babylon who had lost everything yet were promised restoration. We discover that God positioned Daniel, a young captive, to influence five...
Plans Purpose Pursuits
In this message, we're reminded that God has unique plans and purposes for each of our lives. The central theme revolves around Jeremiah 29:11, where God declares, 'I know the plans I have for you.' We're encouraged to pursue these divine plans, even when faced with challenges or discomfort. The story of the prophet Jeremiah serves as a compelling example of perseverance in the face of opposition. Like Jeremiah, we may feel reluctant or unqualified, but God's calling burns within us like a fire we can't contain. This message challenges us to step out in faith, to be intentional with...
Walking with the Holy Spirit
Knowing the Holy Spirit
Knowing The Time P3
In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our hearts and actions in light of Romans 14. The central theme revolves around judgment and how we, as believers, often fall into the trap of criticizing others based on personal convictions rather than clear biblical mandates. We're reminded that while there are absolute truths in Scripture, many areas require us to exercise love, patience, and understanding. The message emphasizes that 'until you see it, you don't see it,' encouraging us to be patient with others in their spiritual journey. This ties beautifully into Jesus' teaching about not judging others and instead...
Knowing The Time P2
In this powerful message, we're reminded of the urgency of our spiritual awakening. Drawing from Romans 13, we're called to 'wake up from our spiritual complacency' and recognize that our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The central theme revolves around knowing our time and being ready to act on God's prompting. We're challenged to be disciples who know who they are and what to do, embracing ministry in our everyday lives. The message emphasizes that God has always known us and has a plan for each of us, regardless of our past mistakes. We're encouraged to step...
Knowing The Time
In this powerful message, we're reminded of the urgency of our times and the importance of 'knowing the time' as followers of Christ. Drawing from Romans 13:11-14, we're called to awaken from spiritual complacency and recognize the strategic hour we're living in. Just as Paul urged the early Roman church, we too must 'put on the armor of light' and be ready for spiritual battle. This isn't about fear, but about being alert and prepared. We're challenged to live as 'citizens of heaven,' representing Jesus in our daily lives and interactions. The message emphasizes the need for authentic faith...
