Part 4 of our series through the eight Kingdom Competencies we believe are essential for every follower of Jesus to live out their calling and become the people God intends them to be is Living Missionally Everywhere. What would it look like if all of us as followers of Jesus kept our focus on the objective of advancing the Kingdom of God and bringing hope and healing to a lost and dying world?

Continuing our series looking at the eight Kingdom Competencies we believe are essential for every follower of Jesus to heart "well done" one day at the judgement seat of Christ, we look at what it means to stand confident in our identities as God's beloved. What does it mean for us to know that our value and worth doesn't come from our accomplishments but from His active and undying love for us.

The second of the eight kingdom competencies we believe are critical to living into our Godly calling and hearing "well done" at the judgment seat of Christ is the ability to walk in kingdom authority. Pastor Ryan Oddo talks about the keys to doing just that and how we stay focused on the true enemy of our souls.

Pastor Ryan Oddo opens up a new series on how we engage trying times as believers. Part 1 asks whether we're listening to the voice of God or the voices of this world and what voices we're letting inform our actions.

In every season of motherhood it is hard to find time to just breathe. Whether you have young kids, work or are even caring for your elderly parents, it’s a struggle to find time to breathe and be with God.

However, this is not a new idea -- everyone knows you need to breathe, what are the practical steps?

In this message our mom's discuss some of the issues they faced and how they have been able to find time to breathe.

Sometimes it’s easy to identify strongholds in our culture, but God cares deeply about our families. He wants to address the strongholds in our families before he uses us to contend against the strongholds in our culture. It always begins with our house (individual house, church house). Once He leads us, He can use us to lead others.

As we advance forward in our faith to contend against the forces of darkness we will encounter enemy strongholds. These are places with entrenched ideologies and attitudes that oppose the truth about God or his way of life. These strongholds are protected by intimidation, fear of retribution, social pressure (ostracizing or acceptance), reward for compliance (promotion). As we learn to contend strongholds will fall.
