1Purpose Church

This year we have decided to join A21 for their 6th annual Walk For Freedom on October 19th. #WalkForFreedom is a global event that raises awareness and funds for the fight against human trafficking. We are fundraising because we know that our efforts can be the difference between slavery and freedom for many. And even though each of us can’t do everything we can all do something. And when we come together to advance the fight against slavery we can be the reason that a child is prevented from being forced to beg on the streets of Thailand—the reason that there is someone to pick up a hotline call from a victim at 3am in South Africa— the reason a survivor finds healing and restoration through our Freedom Center in America. Our giving and fundraising efforts make it all possible.

Therefore submit yourself to God

James 4:7

Why do we struggle to keep face and we choose our pride over our healing. We need to be willing to be humble so we can admit our, bitterness, anger, pride hurt. Be willing to submit or surrender to it to God so that He will do the work. To move from one place to another we need to  be humble, and submit , whatever the “it” is  to God so you can move from the place of being “ok” into being in a place of abundance.

On the Verge of Success 

Are you ready for success? I’m sure you are, I know I am. The Bible is filled with Gods promises for our lives, promises to give and prosper us in so many ways. In this message we take a closer look at Deuteronomy 6:10 and also Chapter 8. We see God promise to bless us and to gives us abundance, but did you ever read through verse 12? He also gives us a warning, because He wants to bless us, and with that blessing He wants us to be able to enjoy it and send it forward for generations to come. Get ready to be Blessed. 

But what if I go? 

Who really likes to make decisions? I sometimes have a hard time choosing between a Tall or a Venti at Starbucks. But that decisions is so insignificant compared to the decision that Esther had to make. This message will open your eyes to some basic yet profound 1-2-3’s that will help you set yourself up for success the next time you have to make a chose between whats behind door #1 or door #2. 

The book of Ruth is a small book with a powerful and profound message. In this message we walk with Naomi and feel her anguish when all the men in her life are taken away from her. Hardships happen, Bitterness happens, but what separates the champions from the bench warmers is that the champions don’t give up, the keep moving forward. And when it comes to Gods perfect plan for our lives, the reward is much greater than a trophy or a metal. Listen to this podcast and get ready to learn some very helpful insight in running the race. 

The story of Jonah has been told many times. We have heard his story as children in colorful cartoons and as adults we learn about his disobedience. In this message we look at some of the events that lead to his frustration and why his first choice is Tarshish and not Nineveh. We also get a glimpse at what he must have felt when faced with the decision to choose a boat and a destination. 

What About Love ?

1 Corinthians 13: 1-7  

13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing. 

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 

This passage is usually shared at weddings and at important family gatherings. Today we want to look at this scripture from the perspective of our everyday Christ walk. 

Love endures. This means : Love is forever,  its not for a season, for a time. It does not expire. Love will wait and wait and wait. 

Love is not self-seeking: It’s not because you someone does something that you decide to continue to love or not love them. If this were true, than you are only seeking what you need, that’s self-seeking. Love is given because it is given. Christ loved me before I knew I needed to be loved. He did not love me because I loved Him, He loved me, because He did. 

Love always Perseveres: Love will always continue to seek the good and not the bad. It will always seek to chase away the darkness and fill every part of your being and everything around you with light that is a reflection of the Holy Spirit in us.  

GOD IS LOVE.
