The Book of Jonah: From The Whale To The Worm

When God interrupts your plans, it's because he wants you to get on board with HIS plans! Find out how to align your life to his bigger purposes as Pastor Rich Wilkerson, Jr. continues his collection of talks on The Book of Jonah: From The Whale To The Worm.

Book of Jonah: God of Second Chances

We serve a God of second chances. No matter how far you wander He waits for you to seek Him and receive the calling He's placed on your life. He hasn't written you off and nothing you do can separate you from His love. Pray. Listen. Go!

Book of Jonah: Prayers From The Fish

In his continuing collection of talks from the Book of Jonah, Pastor Rich Wilkerson, Jr. preaches Prayers From The Fish. Much like how Jonah receives God's grace while in the stomach of a fish, we often find ourselves in a season of brokenness and can confuse God's provision with punishment. We're encouraged to know, however, that when we turn to prayer- prayer with precision, purpose, and passion- God is able to take us out of a season of desperation and into our destiny.

Book of Jonah: Can't Keep Running Away

What are you running from, that you should be running to? When God calls us to our purpose we have an opportunity to listen and run towards it, or we can choose to run away. Do you find yourself running toward God's plan for your life, or are you looking for an excuse to choose something more comfortable? Pastor Rich Wilkerson, Jr. challenges us in a new collection of talks that we simply can't keep running away.

Hold On To Christmas

Often it seems it's not too long after the presents are unwraped that we can forget what the whole story of Christmas is about. This Christmas Eve, Pastor Rich Wilkerson, Jr. reminds us to hold on to Christmas— the faith that it takes to walk out our purpose, and the grace that God has given us to do so. Enjoy this special Christmas Eve message.

An Anchor Called Hope: Hope Floats

What are some of the dreams that God has placed in your heart? Have they faded as a result of hopelessness? Or, maybe you have stopped dreaming altogether. Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. continued a collection of talks about hope. Hope: having a constant expectation that God is working in our midst even when we cannot see it. In this talk, Pastor Rich outlines how we can keep our hope afloat, even when God is working behind the scenes. 

An Anchor Called Hope: Against All Hope

Pastor DawnChère Wilkerson spoke hope into our hearts as she continued in the collection of talks, "An Anchor Called Hope," designed to encourage all during this season through our anchor found in Jesus. She landed on a passage in Romans 4:18-21 where Abraham, against all hope, in hope believed in the promise given to him by God that he will be the father of many nations. Abraham did not weaken his faith or waver in unbelief, but rather grew in his faith knowing that God had the power to do what He had promised. Many of us are believing for great things and are hoping for our promises to be fulfilled but may not be seeing them instantly come to pass. So how do we, like Abraham, against all hope, in hope believe?

An Anchor Called Hope: Hope Deferred

We can all feel like a canoe sometimes ... enjoying the surf or river water, fighting the waves, and looking for an anchor; sometimes we don’t want to be anchored, just wanting to drift away even when it’s still and the waters are calm. Pastor Rich Wilkerson, Jr. reminds us that as children of God we don’t have to drift or waiver or wander, nor do we have to ever wonder whether God's promises for our life will be fulfilled; we have Jesus Christ, and he is an anchor for our soul!

Joel Houston — Life and Other Near Death Experiences

Have you ever felt as though you are insignificant? Often our perception of ourselves is shaped by our interpretation of God and the world around us. Pastor Joel Houston took a moment this weekend to challenge our perception of who God is, the value that each life holds, and the moments that truly make a difference in our short lifespan.

God is more than a figurehead, or a powerful being. He is more than a story or an idea. His word is deep and expansive, full of infinite possibilities. God, the most powerful and constant thing in this universe is interested in the personal. He’s intrigued by the fabric that makes us who we are. There are Infinite possibilities with God as he can do so much though impossible. 

 

In the eyes of God, we are like children. Even the most civilized and wisest us of all are still growing and changing as we get to know God and his Word better. We are His children on a spiritual journey that allows us to mature and grow in Him. God made no mistakes when we were designed. Each and very one of us was created with a purpose. God, a masterful artist and creator, created us: his masterpiece. He beautifully reconfigures and transforms the ugliest, and messiest things about us into beautiful works of art.
