The Wilderness Place

There is a transformational power found in thankfulness. Jesus displayed this power when he gave thanks for the bread and fish and then multiplied the meal for thousands. In this message Jarred Rushing teaches out of 1 Timothy 4:4-5 to show how God desires to use our thankfulness to see His goodness come alive in our life.

Christmas, the Advent season, usually has Christians looking back (to Jesus' birth) and looking forward (to His second coming) but often overlooking the fact that He is here with us right now. In this message Jarred Rushing reminds us that the good news is that the presence of Jesus is here, now, in this moment.

If we are not diligent to renew our minds through close fellowship with the Father, we are more apt to mishandle the presence of God in our life. Tim Ladner teaches about the "one thing" lifestyle and how to host God's presence well out of Psalm 27 and 2 Samuel 6.

Religion is constantly warring against our true identity in Christ. Religion gives us the form of sons and daughters of God, but keeps us away from the actual presence of our Father. In this message Jarred Rushing encourages us to put the spirit of religion to death and begin walking in the fullness of our identity as a son and daughter of God.

So many followers of Jesus have an issue with their identity as sons and daughters of God. This can deeply impact our ability to receive the goodness of God in our lives. Using the story of the lost son, Jarred Rushing teaches on our true identity in Christ and getting to a place where we can acknowledge our worth in the Father's eyes.

As we go throughout our lives, the events we encounter begin to change how we see God's goodness. In this message, Tim Ladner shares how we move from one level of God's goodness to the next, having ever-increasing revelations of His extravagant love for us.

In this message, Tim Ladner teaches on God's primary way of transforming us into the image of Christ. Using a story of Jesus and his disciples and 2 Corinthian 3:18, we see that it is our continually encountering God's goodness that brings us into greater alignment with our true identity.

We get so accustomed to doing things our way that we forget that the Father is always inviting us into a place of fellowship with Him so we can discover His will. In this message, Jarred Rushing, uses the story of Moses and the tent of meeting to highlight what it means to pursue God's presence over our own way.
