Pastor Ron Williams from Pathway Community Church, teaches from the life of Daniel. Daniel teaches us how to live a full life in a godless culture. To live knowing God is in control and has a plan. To refuse to conform to the image of the world. To live out of your identity in Christ.

“God told me!” Have you ever heard someone say that? How can we know if it was truly God talking and not a fleshly impulse? Is it possible to be deceived? How does God communicate? How can I live so that God speaks to me? Samuel gives us a great example of learning to listen to the still, small voice of God. He was young, but the voice of God was crystal clear.

Every word of the Bible is written with rich intent. Garrett Howell brings Mark 11:12-25 to life by looking at the key phrases and seemingly disconnected moments to clearly see God's loud call to us to fully live, fully engage, and be fully committed to prayer. Prepare your heart to bring an offering of praise.

It’s so important for us to know who God uses and how God works. Often, our lack of understanding restricts the flow of what He wants to do. Grasping it unlocks His power flowing through imperfect, flawed vessels to accomplish unbelievable challenges. Running with OT Greats gives us snapshots of how to be used by God and fulfill His call in our lives.

You can’t give what you don’t have. You can't live until you die. You can’t kill a man who’s already dead. David Gallimore kicks off our Ignite series with three powerful reminders and the core question, “Will you really lay down your life for me?”

“It’s not over ‘til it’s over!” “It’s not over ‘til the fat lady sings!” Those common phrases are often used to let people know that the story or game isn’t over. It’s not finished. Discouragement and despair often cause us to think, "My story is finished!” Rahab discovered what we can discover—the story isn’t finished.

Every person faces tough times. It’s easy to become discouraged. Quitting sometimes seems like the best option. But Joshua presents a better path. Amidst challenges and seemingly impossible tasks, he exhibits strength and courage. Even following the legend of Moses, he confidently and courageously embraces the future. What Joshua had is available to every one of us.

Moses is an OT Great with a story that dominates most of the Pentateuch, not to mention most credit him as the writer of these first five books. Against all odds and Moses’ initial will, God uses him to accomplish the primary event of redemption in the Old Testament, freeing those held in bondage.

Joseph is an OT Great with a story of absolute grit. He faces unbelievable adversity and not only keeps the faith, but propels God’s kingdom forward. And he did all of this in exile! He lived faithfully in a different culture, with a different language, different customs, and different gods. Let us run with Joseph and learn how to live in exile.

Jacob is an OT Great with a tumultuous life. Jacob was cunning, manipulative, and experiencing an identity crisis for much of his life. When Jacob meets Pharaoh in Egypt at the end of his life, he recounts his years as being, “few and difficult.” However, there is a beautiful moment of redemption in Jacob’s story, a moment of wrestling with God. Let us run with Jacob and learn how to wrestle with God.
