God is doing new things. Life changes? Are there some people leaving you thought would never leave and some staying you thought would never stay? In order to do new things He has to take us away from the crowds to the other side of Jordan.

The most precious words in scripture, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Deuteronomy 31:6). Everyone in your life will leave you at some point; a spouse can leave, children…6 times God repeats He will never leave you.

One of the greatest struggles in life is to feel alone, forgotten and abandoned. Sometimes we can go through extended seasons...

Acts 20, Apostle Paul was confronted with difficulties in advance. God will always reveal in advance the difficulties you are to endure. We look today at his ministry.

Whenever you encounter Jesus you have to endure a paradigm shift. Whenever He shows up on the scene He rearranges our expectations. We are forced to revise all our hopes so we can stay in step with God.

Sometimes we need to look backward in order to move forward... a backwards glance in order to prepare you for where you're going in the future. Sometime you need to understand your past before your present makes sense and your future is a reality.

The Lord is at work in the Body of Christ to surface spiritual pride, to clearly draw a circle around it and decimate it. The root of all sin is pride, it is the foundation of every expression of sin. At the base of every sin is "what about me"?

If I asked are you a hero, what would you say? But heroes don't appear in a vacuum.
