If we're always saying no, how do we know what we're capable of? Always saying no limits us while saying yes reveals who we are in Christ. Anthony Hawkins shares how saying yes now and freaking out later built his faith and gave him new life.

Offense compromises our hearts, blinds us, and detours us from your destiny. No matter what we may say, we all deal with being offended and offending others. In an impactful and personal sermon, Pastor Chuck Elmore shares the story of his mother and how he dealt with anger and offense towards her new husband who tore her away from her family and how God restored hearts and minds.

The process of being offended is an important process in knowing God as he increases and we decrease. Yet, we often find ourselves becoming offended at God over the problems in our lives. Jesus says, "blessed is the one who is not offended by me," but how can we change our attitudes towards God?

Being offended is almost a Christian virtue because it's necessary to be sufficiently offended to be righteous about yourself. Christians often struggle with offense. However, the Kingdom calls us to live an 'unoffendable' life because offense prevents us from receiving the blessing Christ has for us. In "Offended: Losing and Gaining Perspective," Pastor Alan attacks our offense and lays out practical steps to counteract the offense we often feel.

The Christian life is pretty simple: It's receiving and giving. Yet, receiving can be one of the hardest things to do. We've been trainied to be rational, logical human beings, but in order to move in the spiritual realm, we have to learn how to receive. "Water always flows to the lowest place." Receiving begins with humbling ourselves. Humility is not something we ask God for, it's something we do. We put ourself in this small place. We keep on knocking, asking, and receiving.

God has designed you to live above the fear of man, however, we often find our fears and anxieties lead us to live according to fear instead of God's word. How do we live without the fear of man and trust in the fear of the Lord?

In this Resurrection Sunday sermon, Pastor Alan reminds us that Easter Sunday is for everybody who's wept at a grave; everybody who's failed and tried; every believer who's in trouble and struggling and hurting and afraid and wounded and being batted around by critics and scorners. It is for us. We are resurrection people.

Pastor Ben Stewart leads us in this powerful reflection on the darkness surrounding Christ's death and the light Christ restores. As John tells us, "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it" (John 1:5)

Shame comes from something you've done or because of something done to you, among other things. We often feel shame, but shame is not our inheritance. All of life is God getting us back to Eden where there is no sin, no shame, no brokenness, and no sickness. Jesus will come back to restore the earth to Eden, but until then we must battle the powers and principalities that seek to oppress us with shame.

Heidi Baker finished our two night conference with a flood of the Spirit. Heidi's call to help the weak, the widow, the child, reverberated throughout our hearts. She shared story after story of God doing miraculous works in Mozambique and left everyone seeking after the God of the impossible.
