Has there ever been a time that you questioned yourself if you really heard from God to go out and take a step of faith in doing something? 

Often times it's in moments of opposition, challenges and even failure we begin to doubt the voice of God.  We tend to connect success with God's leading but we forget that God never promised us that it was going to be easy. Be encouraged that you are not alone and even Simon (Peter) who was a great follower of God experienced these feeling and emotions of doubt. 

In this sermon we look at 4 ways God moves us from a place of Emptiness to Overflowing.

1. Give Jesus complete access to your life

2. Admit that your efforts aren't working

3. Obey what Jesus tells you to do

4. Life expectantly that Jesus will turn things around

Have you ever participated in an athletic sport or event? If you have, you'll know that you can't just show up and expect to perform well and be successful. In almost any physical activity it requires hours and hours of training and preparation. It's in the training that we get stronger. It's in the training that we build up or endurance and our stamina. 

As God has called us to go after and pursue the dreams He's put in our hearts, the same principle applies to us. In order for us to finish well and achieve these dreams we must put in the time and discipline required to be successful in carrying out God's dreams. 

In this sermon we go over 4 Commitments to finishing well.

1. Remove distractions

2. Remember the rewaard

3. Resist discouragement

4. Renew yourself daily 

Every dream has a price. Usually through financial transactions and the sacrifice of your time.  the Bible says "To whom much is given, much is required" Luke 12:42. 

God wants to grow us in our accountability, spiritual growth and stewardship. Most often in order for us to pursue God's dreams, God puts us in circumstances that will strengthen each of these areas. Sometimes, the reason we haven't reached God's dreams is because we're simply not ready yet. God is working on our character so that we are able to handle what He entrust to us. 

In this sermon we'll go over 4 phases before taking possession of God's dream. 

1. Crisis

2. Commitment

3. Confession

4. Conversion

Life is a school. We learn lessons everyday. Those lessons are sometimes taught through some of our successes but probably more ofter through our failures. 

It's important to not get stuck in the past. However the lesson was taught we need to learn, apply and move in the direction that God has called us. 

In this sermon we go over 5 Steps for Revering God's Dreams

1. Honestly accept responsibility for your poor choices

2. Humbly ask for God's mercy and forgiveness

3. Gratefully accept God's grace and forgive yourself

4. Graciously forgive those who have hurt you

5. Courageously face the future with faith

We are excited to start this new series titled "Dare to Dream".

As children we have some of the biggest dreams from wanting to be a superhero to wanting to travel through space as an astronaut.

Somewhere along the road we felt those dreams were too big for us. As a result we settled for much smaller dreams. In this series we want to encourage to once again dream BIG. 

Why? Because we serve a big God who has desires to bless you and use our lives far bigger than we could ever imagine. 

Tune in as we seek to spark up a new fire in us that would push us to go after our God given dreams!

Tune in as we kick off 2025 with a encouraging new year's message.

We've all heard the saying "Change is mandatory but growth is optional". 

I'm sure we could all agree that we want to be successful. Well, in order for us to be successful we must allow two things to happen. 

1. Be willing to Change

2. Allow God to Change you

Listen in as we break down the parable of the wineskin and draw out some application that will prepare for success as we embark on a new year that God has set before us.  

Jonah 1-2

Pastor Steve looks over the life of Jonah and finds application that we can learn from and apply to our relationship with God. Often times we take steps in the wrong direction and sometimes intentionally. But God is always good to reroute us to exactly where we need to be in order to find favor and provision. It's not until we are walking in alignment with God that we are able to experience the real purpose God created us for. 

Do you ever think, where do you stand with God?

Often times Stepherds felt unworthy, inadequate, and unloved. 

In this sermon we can learn how we can be sure we are in right standing with God. 

Fear Not! Part 2. 

Whose approval are you looking for?

Obsessing about what people think about you is the quickest way to forget what God thinks about you. 

If you're not ready to be criticized for your obedience to God, you're not ready to be used by God. 

Extraordinary acts of God often start with ordinary acts of obedience. 

God's purpose is often very different from our plans. God's interruptions are often God's divine invitations. You don't have to understand the plan to trust that God has a plan for your life. 

Sometimes God's favor doesn't seem favorable. Sometimes the biggest blessings in your life will be on the other side of surrendering your will, and trusting God's purpose.
