WEEK 3: TRIGGERED // KEEP THE WINDOW OPEN: INCREASING THE WINDOW OF TOLERANCE // PASTOR MICHAEL TODD
We will never work on what we never recognize is an issue. Unaddressed triggers lead to a crash out.  In Week 3 of Triggered Pastor Michael Todd, we discovered that we all have a window of tolerance which is a zone that we can optimally function in when we manage our emotions properly.  Opposition and challenges keep our window of tolerance open. Opposition is not our enemy, it’s our authenticator! When we expand our relationship with discomfort, we grow in emotional maturity and increase our capacity to love, endure, and live like Christ.

Is your lack of emotional capacity shrinking your calling?There are people you are called to reach, but if your emotional capacity doesn’t make room for their differences, faults, and issues, you could be forfeiting your calling. In Week 2 of Triggered, Pastor Michael illustrated the need for believers to expand their emotional capacity so we can truly care for others and not be triggered by trivial things or personal pet peeves. Our goal is to grow in emotional maturity and make space for the people God has called us to. Remember: your triggers and your emotional capacity are calling you daily. Your capacity is your call!

We all have triggers rooted in trauma. When our triggers are unaddressed, they usually lead to a crash out. As Pastor returns from his sabbatical for  Week 1 of the Triggered: Finding Christ in the Crash Out sermon series, he shows us how our triggers are an invitation by God to transformation. In a world that has become great at confessing our issues, we must be ready to change them as well. We pray this message causes you to not fall for the traps of your triggers but lean into the transformation from your traumas.

WEEK 5:  DO NOT DISTURB // THE DISTRACTION OF DYSFUNCTION: WELCOME TO THE NEW YOU // PASTOR ROOSEVELT STEWART
Are you operating on old software? Are you tired of the same old things in life? In the kingdom, God wants to renew our minds by receiving constant updates through staying connected with Him. In Week 5 of the Do Not Disturb Sermon Series, Pastor Roosevelt delivered a powerful Word on how we can get to our new normal. The next thing that God wants to do in us will require us to decide, discard the distractions, directly connect with God, develop in the dark and discover our new selves! We pray this message causes you to connect and reconnect to the Source to receive the new that God has for you.

Your destiny demands a decision. We are presented with so many options in the world that can cause us to go from decision fatigue to indecision. In Week 4 of the Do Not Disturb Series, Pastor Will Heckenbach shared a powerful word to encourage us to double down and make an unwavering decision to serve the Lord. There is a version of you waiting to overcome the distractions. As he shared a vulnerable moment of wanting to give up, this message showed us what it looks like to truly be decided. This message will show to double down and what you will gain on the other side.

WEEK 3: DO NOT DISTURB // THE DISTRACTION OF DEMANDS: CARRY WHAT COUNTS // PASTOR AMBERLY BELL
Life can feel like we're being pulled in 10 different directions.  In a demand-driven world, our attention has become divided. In Week 3 of the Do Not Disturb Series, Pastor Amberly clearly shows us how the many different demands of life have become distractions. With all that we are carrying, we must carry what counts! In order to do that we must put our phone down, practice focus and protect our priority. If you have felt distracted by life, this is the message for you!

Luke 10:38-42 NIV

We all have to fight for focus because distractions are present all around us. While our lives feel like they are being pulled apart in different directions, Jesus’ dream is for us to be whole, not fragmented, but focused. In Week 2 of the Do Not Disturb Series, Pastor Ty Lanphere shared an incredible message of how distractions can cause us to drift. Drifting can look like taking action or sometimes not doing anything at all - which is still doing something! This message reminded us to keep our eyes focused on the main thing, Jesus. When distractions meet us, it can end with a decision and our devotion.

Disappointments in life will happen and the enemy’s goal is for us to disconnect from God in those moments. But God is near to the brokenhearted! In Week 1 of the ‘Do Not Disturb’ Series, Pastor Brie openly shared her story of losing her son Ace after 14 days of him being born. Through this experience, she taught us that we should know God’s name, nature and nearness in the midst of disappointment. We pray this message gives you a fresh perspective to know that we can hold heartbreak and hope at the same time.

WEEK 8: GOD CHOSE YOU// IT HAD TO BE THE BLOOD // PASTOR CHARLES METCALF
Sometimes we care for things based on what we think they’re worth. But how would you respond if you truly understood the cost of God choosing you? In the final week of the God Chose You series, Pastor Charles Metcalf walks us through the price Jesus paid for our lives through His blood. Without it, we’d still be required to make daily sacrifices, follow every law to perfection and live separated from direct access to God. But because of the blood, we have grace, access, and freedom. If you’re ready to understand the purpose, promise, and power of the Blood that purchased your life, this message is for you.Don’t miss next week as we kick off our brand-new sermon series: Do Not Disturb.
