- 217217. Access: Walls & DoorsYesterday we kicked off our Access series with a simple introduction; who we allow access into our lives must be decided carefully. Which led us into our message today: Walls & Doors. We're going to go over the difference between people who are walls in our life, people who are doors in our life and those that we interpret as one but are really the other. The Bible tells us we need to love everyone, but we cannot allow others to drag us into the negativity of life.
- 218218. Access: Divine ConnectionsWelcome to Wednesday and Day 3 of our Access series! We've been talking about the people we allow into our lives and whether they're good or bad, they're always important. Today we focus on the most important -- the divine connections. DCs are those that God has placed in our lives for radical impact -- they come out of nowhere and are vital to your prophetic destiny.
- 219219. Access: Divine ReconnectionsAs we near the end of our Access series, we comment on mending the divine connections we've possibly wounded. It's important to identify these concerns with God and ask for His timing so that a restoration can happen; there's always power in prayer.
- 220220. Access: Below the SurfaceIt's the final day of Access and we've thoroughly enjoyed meeting with you each morning this week. This series was one of our favorites -- it helped us grow and we shared many laughs along the way. We leave you with a message on looking past others outward appearances and honing in on who they are below the surface. Often times we may miss divine connections because we refused to see someone beyond who they portray themselves to be. God wants us to dig deeper, to find out who someone is at their core and how they play a role in our lives.
- 221221. Before & AfterToday begins our Before & After series! The big picture being life before Christ and life after letting Him into our lives!
- 222222. Before & After: Right NowDay 2 of Before & After -- we're talking about NOW. Where do you need Jesus at this moment? Whether you're in the process of finding God or you've already found Him and need to continue to grow, identify your needs.
- 223223. Before & After: So, What's the Plan?The ultimate question we all face in our journey with the Lord: does God have a plan for my live and, if so, what does it look like? It's important for us to know the answer to this, and that's what we will be talking about in this series.
- 224224. Before & After: Is It Possible?We've been discussing Before & After -- the ultimate makeover in Christ. It can seem a little far-fetched, but what He says is true. Now, it's not some sort of magic trick that he just waves a wand and voila we're a new person. It takes work, it takes time, but most importantly it takes an active pursuance of the Lord and allowing Him to work IN us to make us new.
- 225225. Before & After: The Power of GodWe're ending the Before & After series today with a simple message: God is powerful so that we don't have to be. Too often we try to do everything on our own and try to solve all of our problems because of fear that God is condemning us. This is not reality, this is our own guilt keeping us from understanding that our God always loves us -- he can handle anything we throw at Him and He has already forgiven us for all of our sins. So before we're so quick to think that we can handle everything ourselves, let's remember that God is the most powerful and will eradicate any and all sins we commit.
- 226226. Extra Credit: God MathThis week we went a bit of a different direction since we have a shortened week due to Labor Day. So, this week we bring you a series of devotions that expound on previous series we've done in the recent past. To kick things off, we'll be going back into our Faith Factor series. If you haven't checked those episodes out already, we encourage you to give them a watch on our YouTube page!
- 227227. Extra Credit: The Little ThingsIt feels bizarre saying it's day 2 of a series on a Wednesday, but here we are! It's day 2 of our Extra Credit series, and we're diving back into The Little Things today. If you haven't already, you can watch the 5-day series -- The Little Things -- on our YouTube page!
- 228228. Extra Credit: Get Fit (Mentally & Emotionally Fit)Continuing our Extra Credit series -- where we dig deeper into some previous lessons from the past few months -- we're returning to the Get Fit series, specifically our lesson on Mentally & Emotionally Fit. Check out the Get Fit series on our YouTube page!
- 229229. Extra Credit: Identity & LabelsIt's time to wrap up our Extra Credit series today and we're doing so by returning to Identity & Labels. In the world, names have no power, but in the Bible, they mean quite a lot. We may or may not always have to be confined to our name for eternity, but what we must realize is that God has a purpose for our life, and whatever label HE has for us, we should trust that it is destined for us. Be sure to check out our Identity & Labels series on YouTube!
- 230230. Pace Your Race: If God Is Your Partner...Start your engines everyone, it's day 1 of our Pace Your Race series! For lap one of this series we discuss God being our partner, and when He is, we can reach beyond our natural limitations. Throughout the Bible we see examples of this, which we will god over today, and what they teach us is that if we have God in the driver's seat, plan big.
- 231231. Pace Your Race: One Step at a TimeWe rounded the first lap of Pace Your Race yesterday, and today we begin lap 2 -- One Step at a Time! When we seek to achieve great things, or even just new and uncertain goals, it can seem impossible. This makes taking the first step all the more difficult. We fill our own minds with fear and doubt before we're even sure of what will happen. All great achievements and purposes begin with one single step in the right direction, and the rest is just putting one foot in front of the other.
- 232232. Pace Your Race: Stay In Your LaneWe completed lap 2 of our Pace Your Race series yesterday and today, we round lap 3: Stay In Your Lane. Today's message is all about focusing on our task at hand and refraining from comparing ourselves to others.
- 233233. Pace Your Race: Stay In Your Lane Part 2Get those engines revved up for day 4 of Pace Your Race! We realized yesterday that we needed to make a pit stop and go over Stay In Your Lane a bit more. This message is about making sure that you don't let others get in your way of achieving your goals. It's also about sticking with the pack and encouraging others who may need it to reach their goals as well.
- 234234. Pace Your Race: The Power of NowToday we are wrapping up our series on Pace You Race. When we focus too much on what has happened or the fear of what might or might not happen, we miss the power of now.
- 235235. Daily Bread: God's Awesome ProvisionToday begins our Daily Bread series, and we're talking about the provisions of God, the importance of being grateful for them and knowing that what can be given, can also be taken away just as easily.
- 236236. Daily Bread: This DayFor day 2 of Daily Bread, we're continuing our conversation yesterday about God's Awesome Provision. (If you missed yesterday's episode, be sure to check it out in 4K on YouTube after the show!) The Lord's Prayer begins as so, "Give us this day our daily bread." This day. God wants us to rely on him DAILY. His provision is there for us all the time and He wants us to trust that He will supply all of our needs.
- 237237. Daily Bread: Why You Need Time With God Every DayToday on day 3 of Daily Bread, we discuss the importance of spending time with God daily. We know this sounds simple, but it's too often that we forget about God when things seem to take precedence. It may or may not be on purpose, but we should be making sure that we have time for Him every single day.
- 238238. Daily Bread: Get A GRIPIt's very simple to meet with God, but we tend to overcomplicate things. On day 4 of Daily Bread, we discuss the tried and true GRIP . Go to God, Read the Bible, Ingest the Truth and Pray to God.
- 239239. Daily Bread: Grip StrengthWe're finishing up our Daily Bread series today by strengthening our GRIP onto God. This message is so powerful and important, we wanted to really break it down further and send us into the weekend prepared to strengthen our GRIP.
- 240240. What To Do When You Want To QuitThis week's series is all about quitting -- more importantly, not giving up. Today we go over some key points that we'll break down throughout the week, so stay tuned.
