Have you ever wondered if you are destined to repeat what you observed in your family? Have you ever wished that your future marriage could be different from your parents' current marriage or lack thereof? Do you wonder if there's a different way? Good news: Your family history does not have to determine your family's future. While sin leaves a ripple effect in families, God's grace is greater. Today, Access worship leaders, Calvin and Mekenzi Brown share their story of marriage and give three keys on how to break negative generational patterns in your family. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to today's message.

The purpose of marriage is to bear the image of Christ. Any couple who decides to do marriage God's way can have a loving and lasting marriage. However, God's way of life is counter-cultural. The ways of God often directly oppose the ways of this world. That is why we must not "conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by changing the way we think," (Romans 12:2). Today, Pastor Jared explores what Tim Elmore would call the SCENE of our world. He exposes the lies of our culture concerning marriage and offers God's truth. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, and revived as you listen to today's message.

The state of marriage in the United States is bleak. With only 50-60% of marriages lasting long-term, we can definitely see that doing marriage the world's way is not working. However, there is a different way to do marriage; one that will lead to a LASTING and LOVING marriage. God intended the marriage relationship to be the most fulfilling relationship on the planet. But if we want God's intention, we must learn to do marriage God's way. Join us as Pastor Jared unveils the importance of PRIORITIES in marriage.

God is raising up intercessors in the world. People who will bury their lives in prayer, trusting in the God of the impossible. Today, Pastor Jared continues our series on Intercession by answering these major questions: What is intercession? How do I know what to pray for? and How long should I intercede? Tune in, send it to a friend, and be encouraged.

This week Pastor Jared brings a message on our Access Culture of F.I.R.E. We at Access do not just want to be on fire for Jesus when we're 20 and 30. NO! We want to be more on fire for Jesus when we're 70 and 80 than we are right now. How are we going to do that? Is it through gritting our teeth and trying real hard? Is it through powerful encounters at worship gatherings? Is it through luck of the draw and human personality? No, the way of Jesus is clear. It is a way of F.I.R.E.. If we will practice the four disciplines of F.I.R.E., we truly will be a people who burn in private and burn in public. We will be a people on FIRE.

Let me ask you some questions: if God answered every single one of your prayers right now, would you still have a reason to pray? Did Jesus have all his needs met on earth? Yes! Did He lack anything? No! Yet He still prayed. Why? Tonight, Pastor David brings a message on the heartbeat and purpose of intercession, bringing us to this central point... the greatest request we could ever make of God is to know Him. Join us and listen.

This week Pastor Jared teaches us what Intercession is and why it is important!

This week Pastor Jared finishes our Dating and Relationships series by tackling questions posed from our Thursday night Access Community. In this message, you will hear sound biblical advice on how to honorably break up with someone / deal with a breakup, when to incorporate your relationship with God into a relationship, and how to navigate different understandings of God in relationships. We pray you are blessed and inspired by this message, filled with hope to date and relate well.

The Bible says in Proverbs 29, "where there is no vision, the people perish." Oftentimes as young adults we enter into dating and relationships without developing a vision for success. It is no wonder why so many of us have perished or are perishing in our dating life. Vision begins in the place of trust, so before getting into practical vision, values, and boundaries, Pastor Jared invites us to ask this question: "Do I really trust the Lord with my dating and relationships? Or do I feel I have to take dating and relationships into my own hands?" Listen in for a powerful message.

Proverbs 15:22, "Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers, they succeed." As we continue our dating and relationship series, Pastor Jared welcomes three married couples to Access for a Q & A. These "advisers" offer wisdom and practical direction for our dating life and relationships. Get a pen and journal ready and listen in for biblical counsel.
