All throughout the Bible God would constantly ask the Israelites to remember. Because sometimes looking back at the things that God got you through can give you the courage and confidence to believe that He’s going to get you through the now. But there are times that the Lord says, “I need you to forget the former things and perceive the new.” If we are looking back we will never be able to move forward into what He’s wanting to do through us. When we start living in a way that fills our...

God is everywhere and is not confined to a building because of that we see Jesus at a wedding, where He ends up performing one of His very first miracles. The miracle that turned water into wine wasn’t as simple as Jesus snapping His fingers but instead He gave the servants a process, a series of steps to follow that brings this miracle to pass. Oftentimes this ends up being the case with our own lives; we might be broke and He gives us a process to heal our finances, we might need community...

The 7th hour represents the God hour over our life as 7 is the number of completion. Sometimes in life we find ourselves stuck on a road without end but with, there is always something to expect at the finish line. It's at the 7th hour that miracles take place, it’s where the sun stands still and we see God move. The Roman Official that came to Jesus for a miracle  heard the stories but he wasn’t a follower of Jesus yet he came humbly to God as the answer for his heart's cry. What Jesus ended...

The Lord longs to give us His Holy Spirit power, not just power for selfish gain but power so that we can be a witness in testifying about the truth of God. It’s okay if we don’t have the personality of the prerequisite in our biblical education to do so but all we need is the power to go out and preach this word with our lives. Along with the power we also need to be able to discern where the Holy Spirit is leading us because some things can simply be a good idea instead of a God idea....

Revelation 3:14-17 Those who God loves, he disciplines through truth in love by giving us an honest picture of our lives. As we continue this series on the churches we see that in everything God says He is longing for intimacy with us. With the church of Laodicea He does commend them for their works but because they were a church that worked hard yet has chosen to be lukewarm, He ultimately rebukes them the most. God addresses the attitude in which they had succumbed to living their lives...

There is a spirit at work in our modern day culture that has led us into a false theology. We in the western world are not the persecuted church, however we can be a group of people that call Him Lord without submitting to Him in our hearts. There is no qualification in Christ Jesus besides Christ Jesus and we have been asked to practice the word of God that we hear. In order to become a true disciple of Christ there is a level of practice of this relationship that can only come when we are...

Our relationship with God is never about what He can do for us, it should always be about falling more in love with Him. Our earthly actions in attending church, doing ministry or giving to the poor will never get us into heaven, but true intimacy with Him will decide our trajectory. In the book of revelation, Jesus reminds us that it is so easy to become a group of people that are professional Christian’s who maybe look the part, but nothing will matter if we don’t allow ourselves to go back...

Nowadays there is a lot of talk about auras and vibes and people are constantly complimenting those they meet, on good vibes. But as Christian’s we know that good vibes don’t break yolks the Holy Spirit does so we as a church want to be good stewards of our faith by looking at the Strengths, Weaknesses, Adjustments and Threats of relationship with the Lord. In the last days God reminds us that as pain increases, people are going to have the form of godliness but deny its power. We will have a...

Light shines brightest in the dark and although there might be people that use God’s name invain wanting to get their glory here on earth, there is a group of people who would rather be famous in hell than in anywhere else.Fame is about focusing on yourself whereas influence is about those around you. We should be seeking to help those in every sphere of our lives by pointing them to Jesus. Religion will make us afraid of hell but a relationship with God will make hell more afraid of us so...

Sometimes our issues can get so big that it consumes who we are and we start to base our identity off of it. But we serve a God who is not only powerful but intentional and He walks slow through a crowd so that we may reach out for Him. Whatever we praise ends up getting magnified in our lives  but we have the power to flip that and speak the things God has spoken over our lives! Desperate people do desperate things and when we want him to show up in our lives we have to go to him no matter...

In part two of this sermon, Pastor Jeremy Johnson talks about how the enemy has taken out kings and monarchs so it is unwise to think that we could stand our ground without putting on the full armor of God daily. There is a day of evil coming and we have a ground to stand on, the ground God has given us specifically to fight for. We think that we are fighting the good fight of faith when we are advancing but sometimes it’s a victory to just be standing. The very fact that we are not...

The christian life isn’t a playground, it's a battleground and there is a constant spiritual warfare that is taking place. The attack on our lives is proof that we’re going the right direction but the good news we can stand on is that the fight is not even, the enemy is no threat to our God and there is already a victory that has been won. In those moments there is only one place that strength comes from and that is being covered in the Lord. Know that if Satan is attacking us it’s only...

Gentleness and Kindness might seem like obvious traits to operate in but there is something deeper in how God views these fruits. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. No matter how much we know about Jesus, it is not until we can look like Him, act like Him and be like Him that we will see them respond to Him through our lives. It is very common in our day and age to claim something and not live it but people are simply wanting us to live out what we are...

Read Ezekiel 37:1-11 There are ministries that come and go as times pass by because the anointing oil, the outpouring of God's presence was something that was not sought after daily. If our lives have gotten boring, the beauty is that we can get that fire back in our bones by earnestly seeking His presence. Getting fresh oil in our life means getting a new attitude and positioning ourselves in a way that the Hand of God can come upon us, it’s a constant posture of gratitude and worship...

When Jesus walked through the earth He did so with the intention of being an example for how to live life with the Spirit. The fruit of our spirit is not something that just appears during times of trouble but cultivated daily so that people around us will be able to have access to someone that has joy, peace, kindness, faithfulness and so forth. Apostle Paul tells us in Galatians that there is a constant battle between the flesh and the spirit and all of us Christians should try our best to...

Many times in the Bible we have examples of Jesus  was walking through life and walking through crowds. It’s not that he was lazy but he was trying to model a lifestyle where we get to work out of a place of patience and rest. When we pray, “God I want all that you have for me.” Do we consider what that statement means? We like to think that if things are good they are from God but there  are moments that God allows opposition to slow us down. Opposition can feel like it was sent to destroy...

Jesus walks through the garden of our lives and he reaches in to see if there is fruit. Sometimes we advertise that we are fruit bearing believers but when the Lord looks for it, He might not find anything. God prunes us because that is a part of Him extending His grace towards us. God is constantly trying to remind us of how far we have come, especially if we’ve allowed life to make us stingy with our praise and generosity! God didn’t need Mary’s worship just like He doesn’t need one more...

There comes a point in life when we realize that we cannot control anyone other than ourselves and we need to develop our weaknesses into strengths. If our self control starts in our minds then we need to become masters of what thought patterns are cycling through them and by living out the fruit of the spirit, its evidence will convict those around us! Sometimes the things we choose to do might not be sinful but we do need to ask the question if it was helpful or beneficial. We need to live...

God loves us for who we are and not what we can give him. He loves us even when we don’t produce but sometimes we get distraught over the problems that are inside of us and we, just like Hannah, can have everything we want and still be unhappy. When we don’t love the person God created us to be we will never be satisfied. We think material and earthly things bring value to who we are but all the Lord is wanting us to do is be at perfect peace with who we are.Here’s why we need to press into...

Pastor Christy Johnson preaches a message "Kingdom Scales: Worth The Weight".   When we ask God to use our lives, what we don’t realize we are asking for is for the Lord to prepare us. We are going to have to go through some moments of pressing and pruning which end up being quite painful but instead of complaining when those things happen let's aim to become people of prayer! The weight of God’s glory on our lives might not happen easily but it will happen faithfully and that glory will...

Pastor Jeremy Johnson preaches a message "MAGNIFY" and explains when we MAGNIFY God instead of the problem, you're able to get a kingdom perspective. 

Read: Matthew 5: 14-16 | Proverbs 23:7 | John 7:22 | 2 Timothy 2 As we continue to dive deeper into our walk with God we realize that Church is not a hiding place but a rallying place to get fired up for the next mission Our only objective in life  is that people discover Jesus so how we represent Him is going to be more effective out in the world that inside the walls of the church. In order to complete this mission we have to stand on the truth that we are both kings in ruling but also...

Our dreams can never know the power of resurrection unless they experience some sort of death. All of us want to live but very few of us want our dreams to die and in this walk we find that if they die they actually go into His hands and in His hands there is resurrection power. In order to share in his blessings we have to choose to share in his suffering! It’s his humanity that draws us closer to him but it’s his divinity that transforms the humanity in us and this transformation is the...

When we accept Jesus into our hearts we’re not waiting for anointing to hit us but we now become carriers of His Spirit. The heart is the center of our life and when we invite him into the center, this life is no longer subject to our old ways but it is now subject to His rule. By accepting Jesus we are saying yes to receiving all power, all authority and all of heaven that is waiting to back you up. This is what Jesus was trying to say when He said that we have been given the keys to the...
