The most valuable asset in all of humanity is your soul. Living a God first life is all about the preservation of your soul and doing so requires two important components in your life; a relationship and removal. You were created in His image for a RELATIONSHIP that shows your desire to be around Him and your willingness to choose Him above all others. This is achieved through worship. True worship of Him allows you to empty yourself of worldly things so that He may pour more of Himself into you. Mark 8:34 says, "Then, calling the crowd to join his disciples he said, 'If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me.'" Choosing to live a God first life requires leaving behind those things that are not like Him or a REMOVAL of those things that are detrimental to your soul. This choice is yours to make, and although a life of sin "looks" full of promise and reward you must ask yourself one question....is anything worth more than your soul?

Problems will always arise in our lives and there will be many times when we wonder "what do I do?" In this message Pastor Russ tells us how to Turn Your Worry Into Worship. Matthew 6:33 tells us, "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." A God-First Life is about order and making sure we live our life with God in charge and not a "me first" attitude. Worshipping in spite of the circumstances redirects our thoughts to a God-First Life. If we establish an identity through a lifestyle of worship problems will no longer hold the power to enslave us and instead of worrying when things come up we will be able to rejoice in knowing God has already worked it out. When order is restored blessings are released.

Often times we find ourselves in a state of discouragement and uncertainty. Our lives may seem as if what God has spoken will not come to pass. In this message Pastor Vaughn Brown Jr. tells us about 5 things that yield from a perplexing place. At times many seasons may look nothing like what God has promised, but continuation in faith will lead to elevation with God. In your moment of confusion remember God has made you a PROMISE He will fulfill. He has given you a PURPOSE that will manifest itself and during your transition He will provide you with PROTECTION. If you continue to PRAISE Him regardless of your circumstances there will be renewed strength and a PROMOTION. Numbers 23:19 tells us that "God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind." That means whatever He has promised you will come to pass and unlike the people in your life, His promises will never change.

Invitations often lead to many experiences in our lives that create memories to last a lifetime. However, there can be no experience at all if there is no invitation extended. In this message Pastor Russ talks to us about inviting people to "come and see" a life changing experience in the house of God. Using three of the twelve disciples; Simon, Andrew, and Phillip, Pastor Russ shows us how an invitation from Jesus changed their lives forever. After witnessing for themselves a life change experience through Jesus, they each invited another to "come and see". Are you extending this same invitation to others? When we come into a relationship with Christ, we become responsible for inviting others into His house. Often times we will be rejected, but this should not deter us from continuing to extend such a great invitation. We should continue to create an atmosphere that shows our excitement about living for Christ and seek out those who have yet to experience Him. It's as simple as extending your hand and inviting others to "come and see".

Get ready Get ready Get Ready, are you ready? In this message Pastor Randy Williams teaches us how we can prepare and get ready for God's return. Pastor Randy uses Lot and Noah as an example to show us how God prepared them for what they were about to face.

In a culture where society promotes if you believe it that makes it true. In this message Pastor Russ teaches how truth is based on the essence of who God is When we place our trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ it becomes truth to us. When Peter was in prison awaiting a trial based on his belief the church was praying earnestly for him. God heard there prayer and Peter made a miraculous escape through following the angel of the Lord. Our prayers have power and we should pray with confidence! "It's Really True"

Our lives are under construction and God is the master architect. He breaks us down in order to build us backup, don't give up on the project that God wants to perform. "For he has started a great work in you and he will complete it"

Allowing God to become our navigational system through the paths of life moves our mindset from better to greater. Mindlessly plowing in a field everyday was the job Elisha punched the clock to everyday. Living a routine life can become a place of comfort as we build our security walls around this type of lifestyle. But if we are willing to move beyond our comfort zone stepping into the places of destiny. God uses people who are already doing something. Maybe you are performing a task that seems of less significance? God is conspiring to do something greater in your life!

What’s that one area of your life that you are not willing to release? God I am reaching for greater and I will let everything go “except that!” Pride is an issue that we must resolve if we are going to experience the greater purpose God is conspiring behind the scenes to release in our life. In this message Pastor Russ gives practical teaching on how to build true greatness by subtracting self-reliance so that when the pride is stripped away in our life Christ is revealed in us. We all must be willing to experience “The Dip.”
