Splinters, Logs, and Doors — Palm Sunday — Rich Wilkerson Jr.

Have you ever found yourself doing the same thing over and over again until it becomes second nature? But what if God is calling you to an unfamiliar place? In the final installment of the small faith collection of talks Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. sharpens our perspective on Jesus in the message “Splinters, Logs, and Doors.” Familiarity can serve as a stumbling block to our faith. Our faith in Jesus captures our hearts to be more attuned to the subtle whispers of the Holy Spirit. Instead of being clouded by the illusions of this world we can take a small amount of faith and put it in the right place and watch how God works in the unknown. Even in his time on earth, we witnessed as Jesus shifted the dynamic of the rooms he walked into and ignored his earthly desires to be comfortable and complacent.  Like Jesus, we can be countercultural in our pursuit and ensure that we don’t grow complacent on the journey.

What Can You Find? — Small Faith — Tim Timberlake

When we find ourselves in challenging times, we can let fear and uncertainty overpower our trust in God. We question his abilities and oftentimes, as a result, we let it get in the way of our obedience. 

As we continue our collection of talks ‘Small Faith,” Pastor Tim Timberlake shares a pivotal message titled “What Can You Find?” 

The disciples had witnessed Jesus perform countless miracles, yet when they found themselves at a key turning point they still wondered how he would feed five thousand. Similarly, we too can ask how God will work a miracle in our lives when faced with fear. Even though the disciples questioned and maybe even hesitated, they still followed his instructions. When we choose to obey God despite our doubt, we unlock his blessings. Acting out in faith, no matter how small, is more than enough for him to work wonders.

Just Reach — Small Faith — Rich Wilkerson Jr.

Jesus is within reach for anybody, you don’t have to be famous to have access to God’s power. Our reach is a prayer and his reach is an answer.

In this installment of the “Small Faith” collection of talks Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. encourages us in a message, “Just Reach.” Here, we are reminded of our access to God’s solution through Jesus Christ.

Oftentimes we believe we can succeed on our own strength, just as Jairus, ruler of the synagogue, had done in his life through influence and status. But Jairus and many others faced real problems. In the midst of the trials, Jesus was always within reach to heal and restore. This same Jesus who showed up for countless figures in the Bible is the same Jesus that can show up for us all. It’s on us to have even the smallest faith to reach out for help to our ever-present savior.

When The Storms Rage — Small Faith —DawnCheré Wilkerson

Every day we face challenges that cause fear to arise. Sometimes, we can’t see how we’ll make it through, but all we need is a little bit of faith.

As we continue our collection of talks called “Small Faith”, Pastor DawnCheré Wilkerson shares “When the Storms Rage”. This encouraging message helps us have faith in the midst of our doubts and trials. In the middle of our circumstances, we feel like we’re all alone. The truth is, God is with us and He never leaves our side.

When the disciples were on the boat with Jesus during the storm, they allowed their environment to scare them rather than focusing on who was with them. At times, we can do the same when we think God isn’t moving. But, we must remember that when the storms in our life are raging, Jesus is the one who commands the wind and sea to obey him. We have nothing to fear.

Small Faith — Rich Wilkerson Jr.

Every time we get in a car, sit on a chair, or step on a ladder, we exercise some amount of faith. But what does our faith in God look like? Does it come just as easily? Leading us into a new collection of talks called “Small Faith,” Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. begins by unpacking the power of having faith in Jesus.

Your Calling Is Confirmed — Dakota Duron & Manouchka Charles

Your calling doesn’t have to be confusing. In a tag team message, Pastor Manouchka Charles and Pastor Dakota Duron affirm hope with the reminder “Your Calling is Confirmed.”

Regardless of which direction God is appointing you, you can move with confidence, knowing he has the power to anoint beyond qualifications.

Jesus is calling you. But the answer is pending. Accept the call today and allow him to equip you for the journey.

Relationship Baggage - Unpacked — Rich & DawnCheré Wilkerson Jr.

Relationships can be complicated, nonetheless they’re part of the joy of our lives. As we celebrate Valentine's Day, Pastors Rich and DawnCheré Wilkerson share “Relationship Baggage Unpacked,” helping us confront the hang-ups that weigh down our relationships.

Feelings are amazing but they come and go so our relationships can’t be built on them. Pillars of a solid relationship are respect and forgiveness, but boundaries are needed to help cultivate growth.

In our relationships, we’ll never forget that it is Jesus, our firm foundation, who makes each person whole. When we allow him to change us from the inside out, we’ll flourish as individuals and within our relationships too.

The Point of Change — Changes — Rich Wilkerson Jr.

Change is undoubtedly a part of our lives that God calls us to walk through. It helps us grow and improve, if we don’t resist it.

In this continuation of the “Changes” collection, Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. preaches that the “Point of Change” is not to merely look different but to be different.

Too often we get caught up in telling a great story that we miss out on living it. If we’re distracted or consumed with looking perfect, we can miss out on God’s blessings. It's up to us to posture our perspective and attitude to one of humility so we don’t miss the point of it all. When we get in line with Jesus, true transformation happens.

Companion Of Change— Changes —Pastor DC

Have you ever encountered a situation where you felt alone and needed that extra push? There’s good news. Jesus offers us companionship like no other on our journey to change.

In this installment of the Changes Collection, Pastor DawnCheré Wilkerson reminds us that Jesus is “The Companion of Change.” Change starts with us acknowledging that everlasting transformation is only found in the love of our savior.

As we invite him to explore the depths of our hearts, we can guarantee that we will never be the same. We have a companion in our lives that chooses to walk with us even in the darkest night. Wrapping our minds around that is reassuring.

The Place Of Change — Changes — Rich Wilkerson Jr.

The places we archive are often marked with smells, memories or even tears. God offers us a new setting in our journey to change, but this transaction requires some conviction on our part.

In this installment of the Changes Collection, Pastor Wilkerson Jr. illustrates the importance of “The Place of Change.”

It’s no secret that God wants to transform us from the inside out but he wants to do so in a new spiritual environment. The responsibility is on us to change our posture so that God can move in our hearts. But are we willing to go to a place we have never been and do something we have never done?
