Behind the walls of resistance, relationships are waiting for us - and our reputation is already known.

Guest speaker Mary Simpson: Whatever you might see in your life as ordinary, average, and common, God sees as extraordinary, exceptional, and unique.

Three things matter before your walls can come down: the size of your preparation, the size of your association and the size of your desparation.

As we begin walking together in worship and obedience, God will use our combined small efforts in unity to miraculously bring down walls that are defiantly resisting our occupation of new territory and progress.

Sometimes our religiosity and churchyness can make us excited about being close to God but remaining insensitive to others coming to church.

The God we serve is a welcoming and accepting God.

God is happy - not upset, mean and angry. God is also a good God - not a bad but a loving God.

When you display certain qualities in your life and your attitudes, you magnetically attract and pull anointed others toward you.

Mentoring is all about pushing someone up to the next level. When someone is above you or in front of you, you need to push them forward so you can get what they had.

There's pain in every relationship but when it comes to mentoring, there's minimum pain for maximum gain.
