Spiritual Discipline Matters!

There’s a difference between cleaning up your life and surrendering it completely to Jesus.

In Luke 11:24–26, Jesus warns us about the danger of an empty house. Behavior modification may change what’s happening on the outside, but lasting transformation happens when we allow Christ to fill every area of our lives.

Persistent prayer changes the locks on the doors of our hearts. Worship gives us new furniture. The Word decorates the walls. Obedience shuts the door to the enemy.

The goal isn’t simply to remove what doesn’t belong—it’s to fill every inch of your life with Jesus: His Word, His ways, and His truth.

Don’t confuse the freedom of a cleaned-up life with the fullness of a surrendered one.

Steep your identity in Christ and His Word, build spiritual disciplines that keep you rooted in Him, and watch how the old begins to fall away.

Be the one who returns.

In Luke 17, Jesus healed ten lepers, but only one came back to thank Him. The miracle changed all ten lives, but gratitude marked only one heart.

How often do we become so focused on the blessing that we forget the One who gave it? It's easy to celebrate the breakthrough while overlooking the Savior who made it possible.

This message is a call to shift our focus from what we've received to Who we've received it from. Take time to remember God's faithfulness, His mercy, and the countless ways He has carried you through every season.

Don't allow familiarity with God's goodness to replace gratitude for His presence.

Watch "The One Who Returned" and be challenged to cultivate a heart of worship, thanksgiving, and unwavering praise. The greatest miracle isn't just what God does for us—it's knowing Him.

Entitlement is dangerous because most of us never believe we have it.

It grows quietly when appreciation dies, when pride convinces us we are owed something, and when we forget that everything we have is a gift from God.

The breath in our lungs is His.

The life in our days is His.

Every opportunity, every blessing, and every open door exists because of His grace.

In this message, Pastor Jon Purkey challenges us to examine the areas where frustration, offense, or unmet expectations have replaced gratitude.

It is time to put down entitlement, pick up praise, and follow wherever God wants to lead.

Watch or listen now, and let the Holy Spirit search your heart.

God's presence is the answer. He is enough.

In this powerful message, Pastor Jon Purkey reminds us that God has never been limited by human ability—only by our willingness to trust Him. Whatever fear, insecurity, failure, or doubt has been holding you back from pursuing God's call, His presence is greater.

When you humble yourself before the Lord and surrender your plans to Him, He equips you to accomplish what you never could on your own. Stop focusing on your limitations and start believing in His promises. The Kingdom of God has always advanced through ordinary people who trusted an extraordinary God.

Stop telling yourself what you can't do, and start reminding yourself what He will do.

GOD IS GOOD!

Too often the circumstances of life have us forgetting the goodness of our Savior.

Never take your focus off of the truth that God is good, and He has goodness planned for you!

Time and time again we see in scripture that trials and tribulations are opportunities for His goodness to be put on display.

Set your eyes on the Lord, rest in His perfect character, and expect for the fulfillment of His promises!!!!

God is SO good!

YOU CAN’T CARRY BOTH.

Some of us are praying for new wine while still gripping old wineskins.

Jesus said you don’t sew new cloth onto an old garment. You don’t pour new wine into old wineskins. Why? Because what God is doing next cannot be contained by what you’ve refused to release.

The tragedy isn’t that God isn’t moving.

The tragedy is trying to carry yesterday into tomorrow.

Some of us are dragging around old wounds.

Old relationships.

Old mindsets.

Old habits.

Old versions of ourselves that God already called us out of.

You can’t carry both.

God is about to do something new in this house.

A fresh move.

Fresh fire.

Fresh oil.

Fresh faith.

But new wine requires new wineskins.

Before God fills your hands with what’s next, He’ll often ask you to open your hands and let go of what was.

The hardest part of walking into God’s future isn’t believing He can do something new.

It’s trusting Him enough to put down what’s familiar.

Don’t miss tomorrow because you’re still holding yesterday.

It’s time to release the old.

It’s time to make room.

It’s time for the new.

“No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and uses it to patch an old garment…” — Luke 5:36

“New wine must be stored in new wineskins.” — Luke 5:38

Stop measuring your future by your current location!

SEE MORE!!!!

A confession of faith is life giving and determines what we experience every day.

The power of life and death is in the tongue.

Speak faith filled Word rooted things and watch your life flourish, stop with the negativity and the focus on all that is wrong.

Don't expect to be victorious if all you speak is defeat.

Look at your mountain, declare your victory, and MOVE ON!!!

Words!!!

What we speak matters!

It is far too easy to speak on what we see and what we feel.

The challenge of the Word is to SPEAK THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU FEEL!!!

Our words should be rooted in scripture and in agreement with what God says, not what we feel or think.

Rehearsing negativity, failure, devastation and lack will produce exactly those things in our lives.

Choose instead to speak the promises of God, always looking forward to the progress we are making in Him, and watch your situation change!!!

Talk less, and declare more!
