In this episode, Associate Pastor T.J. Tyus talks about searching for God with the intention to get in agreement with his word in totality. 

4:15 - If you can’t take care of your household, you won’t be able to lead effectively. Men, you are the head of the family! If Satan gets to you, he can affect others in the household. If you’re not walking with God or your spouse on one accord, you’ll slowly begin to separate. 

6:20 - Amos 3:3 states Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction? Are the people in your household on one accord?

9:55 - Matthew 18:19-20 tells us if two people agree & believe what their asking for on earth, our request will be granted. 

12:40 - When we get in line with the word of God, then get in line with each other, now we in for success. Stay in line, keep working & remain patient until God moves. 

17:05 - Mark 11:24-25 tells us if we pray for anything and believe that we have received it, it will be ours. But when we pray we must forgive whoever we hold a grudge against so that our sins will be forgiven also. 

Don’t let your prayers and journey be hindered because you aren’t in harmony with God’s word and your household. If you aren’t in agreement, start today by immersing yourself into Gods word and prayer. 

In this episode, Senior Pastor Dr. Thomas shows us scriptures to be confident, bold and how to move on in life when pain occurs. Be prepared to fight the good fight of faith by turning over problems to Jesus and furthering Gods kingdom. 

3:45 - Philippians 1:6. God has begun a great work in you and will see you through it despite the pain that comes with it. 

11:30 - Philippians 3:13. Reach forward and grab ahold of what God has promised for you. 

14:46 - “You are in a funk because you have you’re hands on things you shouldn’t be involved in.” 

19:35 - 1 Peter 5:9-11. God has called us into victory in all areas of our life! Hard times does not change that trajectory. Those are put in place to strengthen an establish you for his glory. 

21:40 - Psalms 34:17-18 says, “The righteous cry out and he will hear and he will deliver them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

 4. Go on Now! Matthew 21:22

In Pt. 3 of The Just and Unjust series,
Pastor Tyus reinforces the need to go
all-in for God. God has given you a vision
that needs to be released. Sowing your seed
diligently, is an example to others of the
great work that God is willing and ready
to do for all of us, and further demonstrates that the
promises of his word are true. Stop working minimally and expecting great
results. Give the best efforts in your work,
time, money, leisure activities and, your
gift. Do it for yourself because what you
receive is based on what you produce. 2:45 - "What I see depends on me." What
are you feeding the vision God has given
you, faith or fear? 6:30 - 2 Corinthians 9:6 tells us,
"Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly
will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows
generously will also reap generously."
Don't let the blessings of the unjust stunt
your faith. Reading the Word is not enough.
Reading, understanding, and applying the
Word is what's required. 13:01 - "You're critiquing but not creating.
"If you're not working on what God has
given you, don't speak on someone who is. 21:30 - Whether a believer or non-believer,
you both reap at the rate you sow. Focus
on what God wants to do through you and
build that relationship. You have a purpose
that's very much worth it.

 4. Go on Now! Matthew 21:22

In this episode, Executive Pastor T.J. Tyus teaches the importance of showing what God has placed in your hand to the world, for his glory and purpose. In this lesson, we explore the books of Mark, John, and Matthew to shed light on this Godly principle.

8:09 - “It’s not about equal giving, but more about equal sacrifice.” 

10:04 - “God is not requiring equal giving because he has not given to us equally.” Matthew 25:15 tells us he gives according to our abilities. 

16:10 - “Don’t bury in the ground what God has given you! You risk losing what he’s given you when doing so.” 

18:25 - “When you release what God has given you, others will be blessed.”

 

Takeaways

 1. Are you giving everything you have to live on?
 2. Doing something with what God gave you. 
 3. Stop waiting on surplus to give. 
 4. You’re not sowing, you’re not reaping.

In this message, Dr.Thomas discusses how being mindful of God's word helps you avoid the pitfalls of an average life by keeping you in His presence. 

3:20 - What you think about is manifested in your actions. Be mindful.

5:45 - Vengeance will always be His. God's silence does not mean he isn't working on your behalf. His timing is perfect, and He will show up and show out on your behalf. What lessons you can learn in the interim.

10:15 - "When walking with God, you walk, talk and respond to things differently." 2Peter 1:3-5 talks about us having everything we need to be successful and how applying the word of God is what separates us from being average. 

14:17 - "Operating in average occurs when you're not in the presence of God."

25:31 - Philippians 4:8 - "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

Turnaround Takeaways 

1 We are expected to carry out God's plan. 

2 Don't do it if you're not going to do it well.  3 Don't let anything or anyone stop you from doing or seeking the will of God. 

4 You can't have what people worked in the dark to achieve without doing the work yourself.

This week, Pastor T.J Tyus discusses the narrow vs. broad paths in life and walks us through the lessons of Matthew 5:42-48.

5:30 - If you're wondering how to study the word of God, use the S.O.A.P. method. That acronym stands for study, observe, apply, and prayer. Don't rush through what you read. Slow down and take time to understand what you're reading. It's not a speed-reading exercise. 

14:30 - Looking retrospectively, five years ago, are you the same person you were mentally and spiritually, or have you grown?

How can I be perfect?

1 In character. Strive to be as much like Christ as possible. 

2 In Holiness. Be separate from the world's sinful values. 

3 In maturity. Mark spiritual development throughout our Christian walk. 

4 In love. Love the way Christ loved.

There’s power and stability in listening to, and obeying God's specific instructions. In this episode, Pastor Thomas uses the life of Moses as a case study to show how incomplete execution can alter your life and the course of history.

8:11 - “The weapon formed against you did not prosper. Your attitude towards it did.” 

9:45 - “Lean not on your own understanding, but lean on the Lord so that he can direct your paths.”

20:18 - God is very specific in instructions for our task to complete. Moses suffered because he did not follow Gods order. With execution, there will always be stability. 

24:14 - “You have an arrangement with God. There’s consistency in doing his work.”

Turnaround Takeaways 

 1. Do what’s right, with the right attitude. 

 2. No weapon formed me against me shall prosper. 

 3. Stop flinching, peace be still. 

 4. Execution is Worshipped.

Pastor Tyus shares how looking for God can bring out the greatness in each day and the importance of not carrying yesterday's troubles into today. That last part isn't easy but remember that God tells us each day has concerns enough for that day, and with that information, we should be able to focus and deal with the problems of that day on that day. Part of being available to God is recognizing that pain and suffering may come. Sunny days give way to rainy, muddy days. Knowing that and accepting that is part of the cost of being a follower of Jesus Christ. 

3:15 - "Believe in the dark what God told you in the light." Remember the promises and instructions God shared with you when times of your life were great. Those promises serve to light the way ahead when times get hard. 

5:30 - John 13:34-35. "A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another." Love is a verb, an action word. Show it with words and actions. Even towards an enemy.   John 14:15  "If you love me, keep my commandments." 

12:40 - "Sometimes, how you live speaks louder than what you say." 

15:40 - "You have to go through something for God to bring something through you." 

17:43 - 1 Peter 5:10 is a great reassurance to keep pushing through what you may be suffering from in your life's journey. Keep the faith! For God will restore you and will place you on a firm foundation. When we suffer, that's an opportunity for growth. Whether through lessons or instruction, God is always teaching. Our posture should be one of always learning or being willing to learn something new about our walk with the Father. 

21:45 - Matthew 5:44-48 Loving an enemy, praying for them is maybe the most challenging thing we'll have to learn to do. If we want to be like Christ, we'll have to make that our goal.

Takeaways

 1 Love your loved ones and love your enemies with the same love. 
 2 Serving will change your life. 
 3 No story, No Glory!
 4 Stop Quitting!

In this episode, Dr. Thomas references the book of Daniel for the theme of execution. Daniel experienced a trial whose ultimate purpose was to bring Glory to God. Be mindful to praise him at the beginning, during, and end of every difficulty we face.

⁃ "God is not glorified when we only pray, preach, or read the word. It's time to get tested to prove we can execute so that God can receive the glory." - Dr.Thomas.

⁃ "Behold and become the word! Execute to do what Christ did & obtain the power of the Holy Ghost." -Dr.Thomas.

⁃ Where's the proof of your growth? Are your fruits good evidence that shows what God can do for others?

⁃ "God's word looks better when you execute. God orders your desires and steps, and your success in them is linked to your level of execution."

⁃ Are your spirit, character, and gifts rich in excellence?
