Human-facing meekness means we are gentle and don’t seek to retaliate when we are wronged. We can most relate to this aspect of meekness because it's something we wrestle with every day in a world filled with offenses. Yet meekness is also God-facing: how we respond to God. The Lord is perfect in thought and deed so meekness toward God ought to be easy, right? In theory it sounds easy, in practice conflict with those closest to us often gets in the way. If you've ever felt caught between obedience to God and conflict with a loved one, then this is the message for you.

We learned that meekness grows from the revelation that we desperately need God’s power to fulfill our calling. As we continue on our journey, meekness begins to look and feel like weakness to the natural man. Our experience is the absolute opposite of a conquerer; we feel completely weak and incapable. But if we will press on, meekness learns to embrace the weakness and we find the power of the Lord to fulfill our calling.

Last week we learned that meekness is a way to work that brings rest. Jesus invites the exhausted to enter into his new way to work so we can cease from burdens that we were not meant to carry as we learn to work with God by faith.
This week we continue our series entitled Meekness in our Calling. We'll learn to discern the yoke that is easy and the burden that is light. If you are feeling overwhelmed with life and work, then this is the message for you!

Jesus made an astonishing statement in Matthew 5:5 "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." but then gave no word as to how the meek inherit the earth. The meek are the ‘gentle’… those who do not assert themselves over others in order to further their own agenda. This is the total opposite of the world's system where might makes right and aggression gains possession. How can the apparent weakness of meekness overcome the no-holds-barred aggression of the world? Join us for our new series as we unlock the secrets of the meek mystique.

Every Christian has both a natural and a spiritual inheritance from birth. Our spiritual birth endowed us with a tremendous spiritual inheritance that includes the family name and likeness, spiritual abilities, resources, rights and privileges. We need to explore and release this inheritance to be successful in the kingdom of God. Embracing both our natural and spiritual inheritance is one of the keys to maturing in Christ.
In "Secure Inheritance" we learn how the Lord protects our inheritance so that circumstances and adversaries can't steal what is rightfully ours in Christ Jesus.

Sometimes the gale winds of life blow hard and we find ourselves far away from where we hoped to be. Can we ever get back to the original plan? In "Secure Calling" we will discover how the goodness of God brings us back to our calling in His house.

When you're raising kids, you learn to expect the unexpected. As a father of six kids, I know how a routine family outing can turn into some pretty scary circumstances because of carelessness. How does God secure us when the careless actions of others can endanger us? We continue our series this week with a message titled "Secure Path" where we discover how God secures a way of escape when things go suddenly awry.

We are so accustomed to doing things by ourself, for ourself. Isn't that what being an adult is all about? But then we face growing insecurity when we run across the seemingly unmovable issue in our lives. We just can't make it go away. What do we do? In this week's message "Secure Sanctification", we discover how to cooperate with God's power that can transform us in truly miraculous ways.
