Jesus commanded his followers not to be anxious about anything, but that seems easier said than done. How can we follow this commandment when it is so hard to let go of our worries? Gary Wilkerson offers practical ways to look beyond our everyday concerns to seek the kingdom of God.
The Bible speaks of Ahab and Jezebel, King and Queen of Israel, as some of the most evil people to have ever ruled. While Ahab and Jezebel committed many atrocities during their time in power, the book of 1 Kings take care to emphasize their arrogance. Tim Dilena explains why every person should have humility before God.
The strength to overcome adversity does not come from our own skills, resources or intellect. Ultimate deliverance comes from God. Gary Wilkerson explains that God’s strength is best appreciated when we come face to face with our own weakness.
Are you speaking into your family members’ lives? Are you recognizing God’s calling for them, even when they can’t see it for themselves? Carter Conlon looks to the book of Esther to demonstrate that one person who sees the God-given potential may be all it takes to transform a life.
It is an incredible blessing when God invites us to be part of his sovereign plan. One of the ways he does that is by encouraging his people to pray. Gary Wilkerson looks at what the Bible has to say about prayer and God's deliverance.
The New Testament book of Acts tells the story of a magician named Simon. When Simon saw the apostles preaching and praying in his city, his first response was to try to buy the power of God with money. In this sermon, Tim Dilena looks at the gifts we can only receive by spending times in the presence of God.
One of the most important things that a Christian can do is to really dig into God’s word. Studying scripture deeply can give us a better understanding of God’s promises. One commonly misunderstood concept in scripture is prosperity. We often think of prosperity in earthly terms—possessions, achievements, and a comfortable life. In reality, difficult times can be a blessing, and true prosperity only comes from God.
At some point in life, we will all face a situation that seems impossible. God may ask us to do something that looks ridiculous in the eyes of man. What might now look like ruins, rubble and death, God can rebuild and resurrect. Believe and trust God to do the miraculous.
Isaiah and Jesus both spoke of destruction coming upon God’s people, but the people of their times didn’t believe them. Pastor Gary Wilkerson believes that the pride of prosperity, a party spirit and perversion have brought America to a place of God’s impending judgment, but many today don’t won’t receive this type of message. In a culture that seems to be spiraling into wickedness, is there any hope for America?
Do you want to be used by God? If the answer is yes, you must give up seeking others' approval. This week, Joshua West talks about how God calls us out of darkness, and that means we give up all of the world's standards of success. In Christ's upside down kingdom, we will be most powerful when our pride is broken and more than conquerers when we are in complete submission to our Savior.
