Sunday Morning Message

Jesus is a King who saves us, not on our terms but on His, with a victory that empowers us far beyond our expectations. The Holy Spirit reveals to us, through the gift of conviction, how to live in the fullness of that victory.

According to John 16:7-11, the Holy Spirit doesn't stop with convicting us of guilt in regard to sin. He does this so that we can receive forgiveness and stand in the righteousness of Christ, knowing that it is the deceiver and our accuser who stands condemned, not us.

We celebrate excavations, foundations, and expansion for the glory of God and the Name of Jesus.

Special Guest Michael French teaches on the significance of following the stirring of the Holy Spirit to represent Jesus and share the gospel with the people around us.

A real and humbling description of what Jesus endured for us on the cross.

His last breath became our first breath. His body broken and blood poured out became our salvation that we didn't deserve but freely received. His resurrection became our resurrection.

We invite you to fix your eyes and heart on Jesus and worship Him.

The Kingdom of God did not just come with observation but a demonstration of power!

It's important that, as Christians, we live with an awareness of the supernatural! God never intended for miracles to be a side note to our lives. His plan was for the miraculous to be a normal expression through our lives as Christians. We preach the gospel, the message of grace; we lay hands on the sick, and anticipate the miraculous! This is why the Spirit is here! God is a God of power! He is in the life-changing business! We walk in the authority of Jesus! Step out and let the Holy Spirit move!

To sanctify means to set apart as holy. We have already been sanctified or made holy by the sacrifice of Jesus (Heb. 10:10). Then there is a process of sanctification where we partner with the Holy Spirit to learn to walk in the holiness and divine purpose Jesus paid for us to have.

This is a powerful process that teaches us to separate from the things that produce chaos in our lives and become transformed by the Holy Spirit into the likeness of Jesus.

Romans 16:20 says, "For the God of peace will soon crush satan under your feet."

It's time to break out of the stuck mentality and expect a move of God. He is turning your mourning into dancing and moving you from the desert to the garden.

Can you hear the sound of victory?

Obedience from God is not a chore. It's a gift! Just on the other side of our obedience is an experience greater than we could ever ask for, think of, or imagine.

We obey God by having ears to hear! We were designed to know the voice of God. We anticipate His voice and when He speaks, we quickly obey!

We obey because He loves us! And if He loves us, we can trust Him! And if we trust Him, we don't HAVE to obey Him. We GET to obey Him.

The result of our obedience is that we step into the life Jesus paid for us to have! Trust and obey!

The God-ordained covenant of marriage is designed to thrive and display His heart. We look to His Word as we speak to both husbands and wives, focusing on...

• The calling and responsibility of the husband to lay down his life for his bride the way Christ does for His Church.
• The cultural rise of feminism that attempts to pull women away from their powerful design.
• The respect and support a wife blesses her husband with.
• The safety and security the husband is called to create for his bride.

May the standard of Jesus be our standard, and may His abundant life be established in every man and woman and in every marriage.
