Too often we believe the lie that we are not able to receive His blessing and grace because of our sinful nature. The truth is, we do fall short, but He has provided us a way to be blessed with forgiveness by His Grace.

We all have certain strongholds in our lives that we battle with. Maybe it’s addiction, anger, lust, fear, or insert your struggle here. The apostle Paul tells us we are to take our thoughts captive and make them obedient to Christ. This week Pastor John talks about how this Devine weapon can help us in our walk of life with Jesus.

No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, we can all agree that there is a tension between what we know what we want to do with our lives and what we actually do. In almost every area of our lives we live in this tension. This week we talk about why that is and a very practical way to move the needle towards what we know we should do.

The Apostle Peter tells us to be alert and of sober mind. Our enemy prowls around like a roaring lion trying looking for someone to devour. This week pastor John talks about how our enemy wants to scare us away from the table that our Lord has prepared for us in the presence of our enemies.

It is easy to get distracted with life and all that goes on around us. It is important to remember that the Creator of The Universe wants to commune with us and have a conversation. This week, we are reminded that the Lord is our shepherd and we lack nothing.

We all have two brains. One tells us the truth and the other manipulates us into doing things that can be destructive. This week we talk about how to avoid the lies we are told and the ones we tell ourselves in order to create new pathways of truth.

Today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is because of this we have been saved to eternal life with a relationship with Him. He is risen!

We are all building something in our lives. Relationships, careers, mental or physical health or deepening spiritual growth. But what good is building something if it’s not protected? This week we talk about walls and gates and why it is so important to keep them strong and well maintained.

As we prepare for Palm Sunday, let’s meditate on Jesus’ words to the Pharisees: If his disciples don’t cry out in praise the rocks will! We are created to worship God! Don’t let the rocks take your place!

It’s easy to get discouraged when trying to accomplish the vision God has for us. After all, if God gave us vision in the first place why would He allow it to be so hard? This week we look at Nehemiah and his example of how he handled resistance to the vision God has for him. We learn that not only will we experience conflict, we should expect it.
