In this first message of our new series Portraits of God, Pastor Michael shares how the very first portrait we see in the Bible is God the Creator. From galaxies and black holes to the breath in your lungs, God is the source of all life, the sustainer of life, the One who values life, and the One who has a plan for your life.

Every part of the body has a role—but Jesus shows us that the mind was created for something eternal: to love and delight in God. From Creation to Restoration, Scripture reveals God’s incredible delight in us—and invites us to find our greatest joy in Him. Discover how to delight in His work, His Word, His people, and His presence.

Worry weighs us down, steals our joy, and keeps us from trusting God. Instead, He invites us to believe, trust, pray, and surrender. You don’t have to live buried under anxiety—God cares for you, knows what you need, and promises to provide.

God offers us a sound mind! Learn how to fix your focus, abide in Jesus daily, and ruthlessly remove the things that are stealing your attention and joy! Big Idea: A sound mind is a focused mind—and a focused mind is a free mind.

Saying YES to God can change everything. Discover how one simple response of obedience can turn setbacks into destiny and release breakthrough for others.

What’s the most important YES you’ll ever hear? 🤔 It’s not a job offer, a proposal, or even a “yes” to hang out with a friend. The most life-changing YES is the one God already gave us in Jesus! God’s promises YES to make us stand firm, to His seal of ownership, to the gift of His Spirit—His promises are already YES in Christ.

What happens when you say “YES” to Jesus—anytime, anywhere, for anything? When we say YES to serving others, we show the world God’s love. When we say YES to laying aside selfishness, we find freedom. When we say YES to Jesus, we step into a life of blessing and adventure. Are you ready for the Yes Effect?

Storms don’t schedule appointments. They just… hit. Jesus knew that—so He ended the Sermon on the Mount with a picture we can all understand: a wise man builds on rock, and a foolish man builds on sand. When the storms came, only one house stood.

It’s possible to look the part, do the right things, and still not know Jesus. Don’t settle for religious activity. Pursue authentic relationship.

We’re surrounded by voices—podcasts, reels, influencers, even preachers. But how do you know what’s true and what’s not? Jesus warned us about false prophets, and in this message, Pastor Dave breaks down how to test the fruit and flood your formation with Jesus. Learn how to keep ideology from hijacking your theology—and why the words “God helps those who help themselves” might be the most popular lie Christians believe.
