When life is out of control, we can trust that God is in control. Our only job is to stay close to our Shepherd and He will sustain, restore, protect and pursue us.

When our struggle feels like there is no end, there is always new strength to be found when we lean into God. During our struggles and crisis we can rest assured that God’s presence and peace is available to get us through.

Sometimes there’s more going on beneath the surface than we can see and God often uses what we are going through to bring us into a greater level of victory in our souls.

The resurrection is not just something that is ahead of us, it is something that is within us. As we walk go through the tough parts of life we can trust that God is with us and sustaining us.

Have you ever felt like you weren’t sure your story was as important as others around you? This week as we kick off our new series, “My Story,” we learn that all of our stories become the frame through which others find hope in Christ. All of our stories matter and when shared through the context of God’s grace we build a bridge to reach those around us.

When we’re going through hard times, we need more than a coping mechanism. We need the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will get us through any situation as we choose to turn to Him.

God takes what was meant for evil and turns it around and uses it for our good. When we get hit it doesn’t mean that we’re going down, but that we need to pull our counter attack in the name of Jesus.

In order to have victory in spiritual battle we need to know who we are and what we have in Christ. This week in our “Push” series we learn how to live over instead of under the attacks of the enemy by walking out who we are in Jesus.

We have in our possession the inheritance of victory. As we learn how to do spiritual battle, we learn how to push against the darkness so that we can gain that victory in our lives and in the world around us.

We need to actively choose to make room for God and when we actively choose to follow Christ we can expect God to show up and do miracles in our lives.

Though we go through times of delay it doesn’t necessarily mean denial or drought. The time of the Lord’s favor is now and He wants to bless us right where we are.

We’re here to help other people find Jesus. Once Jesus comes into our lives and changes us, He wants to partner with us so that we can together reach and serve those who don’t know Jesus.

Despite Peter’s flaws and character issues Jesus picked him and Jesus is picking you today. Jesus is not afraid of your reality and is calling you to draw closer to Him today.

God doesn’t want you in a perfected form, He just wants you as you are. When we surrender our lives to God, He can do beyond what we ever imagined.

As we head into the new year, we kick off a new series entitled “Non-Negotiable’s.” During the first installment of the message we consider three very important reflection questions to help us repent and turn toward God.

This Christmas Eve, we reflect on the truth that when God makes a promise He will fulfill that promise in our lives. We have to ask ourselves, will we choose to carry life on our own or will we say yes and trust God with the situations we’re going through?

When we choose to saturate our lives and position our lives with God, we can trust that what He has deposited in us will carry us to eternity.
