Pastor CJ continues from last week as he discusses believing in God's goodness even when our circumstances are not good.

God is good all the time. The Bible teaches and demonstrates the goodness of God, regardless of the circumstances we are in. When we realize how good God is, we will draw close. Pastor CJ declares the goodness of God, teaching from Jesus' example that it is God's will to heal everyone and not everyone dies according to God's plan and timing. This perspective-shifting truth reveals an element of God's goodness and causes us to draw close to the Father as we learn to trust Him.

Merismos describes the separating power of God's Word. Our ability to distinguish between soul and spirit is absolutely critical and can only happen through the dividing action of the Word. Greg Kloxin teaches about this powerful action of the Word, relating the Merismos experiences we see in both Abram and Jesus' walks with God.

We were created by a living God in His image for a purpose. God gave His son for the pinnacle of His creation: us! Greg Kloxin continues the series and teaches about the temples in which God's Presence has dwelled in the past and the living temple God desires to inhabit now. Rather than a place for religious exercise, Jesus created potential for us to be the living temple that is a place of communion, relationship and deep intimacy with God!

Greg Kloxin continues the series on The Practical Word by describing how the Word of God works in our lives through the process of Merismos. A critical process in understanding the separation of soul and spirit, Merismos is the dividing action of the Word as it penetrates into our lives.

Why do we exist? Does God really need us? A strong fact lies in the certainty that we are a created being. Creations are derived by purpose, they are produced by plan, and they personify the Creator. Greg Kloxin teaches about the reason we are created.

Greg Kloxin continues the series on The Practical Word by teaching some key elements for maturity in the Word. As a believer, you can measure your spiritual maturity by the level of agape manifested through your life. Walking in agape and doing the Word are critical for Christian maturity. In this teaching, we also learn about the value of the Word and the dividing (merismos) power of the Word in our lives.

Pastor CJ continues on expressions of praise and worship by describing the power and benefits of "the shout." Next, he explains how drawing close to God means dying to self daily. We are created to passionately pursue God!

God is seeking! He is looking for those who will worship Him in spirit and truth. Pastor CJ describes some expressions of worship and why it is important that we do them in faith.

Just as we've been intentional in building a culture of relationship and honor, we need to be intentional in building a culture of expectation. A culture of expectation creates an atmosphere of faith where we come and expect to meet with God in a greater manifestation of His presence that brings about healing and freedom. We want to be a people in faith in a supernatural culture who take God at His Word. Pastor CJ describes three things we must do to create an environment that honors the Lord and invites His presence: Prepare, participate and protect.
