Kings and Priests for the Cause - Ps. Rolph Hendriks //

Everyone has a purpose! The Bible describes the royal priesthood as living stones that offer holy spiritual sacrifices & kings as those that reign on earth and have dominion. We all have a function in God’s kingdom as FAITHFUL servants (regardless of our background, position, or status) to influence and impact this world through Christ - that’s Kingdom Culture! Church, let’s know our CAUSE to be focused and effective in building God’s Kingdom!

Culture of the Kingdom, Pt. 5 - Ps. Derek Dunn // EXCELLENCE - PT. 2: Ps. Derek shared some practical ways we can change and start becoming an excellence person. The 7 characteristic of an excellent person are physical health, grooming, God’s wisdom, knowledge, initiative, ability to serve, and good communication skills. If you have these 7 things, you would be like Daniel (Daniel 1:3-4): a person of excellence, selected and promoted. Church, let’s be the best person we can be for the glory of God, fulfilling our highest potential in life!

Culture of the Kingdom: Excellence, Pt. 1 - Ps. Derek Dunn // EXCELLENCE - PT. 1: One of the spiritual developments that should follow our faith in Christ is excellence. Excellence means exceeding a given standard, being superior in quality, doing greater in quantity, transcending your job description, and outdo yourself each time. Church, let’s have the purpose in our hearts to go for excellence and not compromise!

The Blessing of the Father - Ps. Derek Dunn // One of the greatest revelations in the Bible is the revelation of fatherhood, especially the fatherhood of God. All fatherhood in the universe ultimately goes back to the fatherhood of God. God is a perfect Father - He is competent, caring, consistent, and close. The greatest truth in the universe is that there is an Almighty God, who is a Father, who loves us all!

Culture of the Kingdom, Pt. 4 - Ps. Derek Dunn // Becoming a servant is the path to fulfilling God’s great calling on your life. Take ownership of the fact that God wants to use you to do great things in your life for His Kingdom. However, humility is the key to unlocking that greatness. Change your mindset and embrace that you must be a servant. Don’t miss the opportunity you have RIGHT NOW to serve your leaders and the vision God has given to them. Let us restore honor and loyalty to the House of God.

Culture of the Kingdom, Pt. 2 - Ps. Derek Dunn // The Kingdom of God is a kingdom of honor! When we walk in honor, we will experience the blessings God has intended for us! Honor begins in the church. When we are honorable, people of integrity, we make the gospel attractive to others. It is through honor and godly lives that the message of the gospel is spoken. We as believers only flourish when we are planted in the House of God and honor. Church, let’s walk in honor.

Culture of the Kingdom, Pt. 1 - Ps. Derek Dunn // The Kingdom of God is a Kingdom of HONOR. There is a battle waging between two kingdoms on earth - the Kingdom of God & the kingdom of the world/man. The depth of your walk with God is directly correlated to your love and honor for those God has placed in your life. If you focus on becoming a vessel of honor, nothing and no one can stop you from fulfilling your calling!

The Source of Power - Ps. Susan Dunn // Your HEART is your source of power! How we live our lives depends on the conditions of our hearts. If you have a hardened heart, not only are you blind but you are unable to hear and you are overcome by the darkness. The 3 steps to guard your heart are to guard your mouth, guard your eyes, and guard your thoughts. Church, guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

Spiritual Mothers - Ps. Derek Dunn // Mothers are important in the Kingdom! Spiritual mothers are much-needed in the work of the gospel to provide compassion, care, and strength to the Body. The role of mothers are to bring support, nurture, strengthen faith, and compassion. Church, let’s honor the women in our lives, they are a gift from God!
