Date: August 27, 2023

Speaker:

Series: Unravel – Part 4

Book: , , ,

Key Verse: Jeremiah 17:1-14

Topics: , , , , ,

Deep within every person lies a danger so sinister that it has the power to destroy us! This hidden enemy is our heart, described in the Bible as being deceitful and leading us astray at every opportunity. On our own, we are incapable of subduing this cunning beast. Healing and freedom can only come when we humbly ask God to search our hearts and uncover any hidden motives or false assurances. He alone can see the real us on the inside and provide cleansing from the sins that enslave us. Have you invited God to give you a spiritual EKG to assess your true condition and give you a pure heart?

Breaking the Grip of Fear

Date: November 3, 2024 | Speaker:

One of the enemy’s most effective tactics is sowing seeds of fear in our minds to dishearten us and bring God’s work to a halt. You will inevitably face moments when opposition closes in and threatens to erode your courage. The question is, will you allow fear to control you, or will you rise above it by remembering that God is greater than every circumstance? When you cultivate a moment-by-moment awareness of God’s power and presence, the fears that once held you captive begin to lose their grip. True freedom is not found in the absence of fear, but in fearing the Lord above all else. So, what fears do you need to bring to Him today?

The Power of an Ordinary Life

Date: October 13, 2024 | Speaker:

Your life, with all its flaws and imperfections, is not a hindrance but the very instrument God desires to use. The question isn’t whether God can use someone like you, but whether you’re willing to step out of your comfort zone and say “yes” to His call. You might feel ordinary, unqualified, or too broken, but that’s exactly who God uses to do the impossible. He’s calling you out of the stands and onto the field, challenging you to stop making excuses and start making a difference. Your life, your gifts, your very presence in the body of Christ matters more than you realize. So who will you lock arms with? Because when we unite, we become an unstoppable force for His glory!

The Cost of Holiness: Is it Too High a Price?

Date: September 15, 2024 | Speaker:

God calls us to live holy lives, reflecting His glory and purity in a world that often pulls us in the opposite direction. Holiness requires a conscious separation from the patterns and values of the world, because following God always involves surrender. Who or what has the greatest influence over your heart? Are these influences drawing you closer to God, or leading you further from Him? The call to follow Him is costly—requiring sacrifice, trust, and a realignment of priorities. But it’s also the only path that leads to true life. Are you willing to answer that call, no matter the cost?

The Good Hand of God Upon Us

Date: September 8, 2024 | Speaker:

As you endeavor to solve problems, accomplish tasks and pursue your goals, remember that your success doesn’t depend upon your own strength or wisdom alone. It rests in the powerful, guiding hand of God. Do you ever pause to recognize how God is working in your life—opening doors, orchestrating circumstances, and meeting your needs? Yes, your planning and effort are important, but it’s God who leads, sustains, and empowers you to do anything of lasting value. In your journey of faith, pause often to thank God for His good and faithful hand upon you, acknowledging that without Him, none of it would be possible.

The Bible has a lot to say about our actions. Most often this is described in Scripture as works or deeds. Unfortunately, many have a negative view of these words, but why is that?
