Our emotional health has a direct impact on our spiritual health. The truth about anger: Anger impacts the whole body. Anger is contagious. Anger is the gateway to all kinds of sin. Anger comes from a bad heart. How do we deal with anger? We let God control it, we resolve it, we confess it, and we forgive it.

Just as there are four types of soil, there are four types of hearts: people who really don't care about hearing the truth; people who are impacted by let go of what God was doing in their hearts; people who are all in to God's Word but slip away into the world; and people who are on fire for God. What is the condition of your soil, your heart condition?

A church with uncommon faith dreams beyond what they see, prepares for the "now" generation, proves it every day, looks to God's Word as its authority, and always makes Jesus the priority.

A church with uncommon unity knows that everyone plays a role, looks to the One who holds us together, fights the real enemy, and prays for boldness in sharing the Gospel.

A church with uncommon love gives sacrificially, serves selflessly, forgives quickly, and continues endlessly.

Many people miss the promises of God because it requires stepping into the land of the unknown. To cross over to a new beginning, take time to recommit, remember, and rejoice.

God is not calling us to greater bravery but to greater faith. There are three enemies to greater faith: impatience, isolation, and illogic. To tear down the enemy, we must follow the right battle plan. Victory takes the entire team. We are not guaranteed easy or quick. Only One Person is in control ... and it's not me.

How does the Lord deal with sin? He singles it out. How do we deal with sin? We try to hide it. What enemy is hiding under our tent? Greed—desiring what God forbids. Pride—our way instead of God's way. There are consequences for our sin. When confession comes, victory follows.

To move from self-confidence to God confidence, we must identify the enemy—complacency, fear, discouragement. And we must believe victory is possible.

Storms come to everyone at any time but do not last forever. To do the impossible, we must listen to His voice, look at His face, reach for His hands, and fall at His feet.
