Not Like Man
Numbers 23:19 - God is not a man, that he might lie, or a son of man, that he might change his mind. Does he speak and not act, or promise and not fulfill?
James 1:16-18 - Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. By his own choice, he gave us birth by the word of truth so that we would be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

Who Do You Say I Am: Mary Magdalene
Mary Magdalene never got over her encounters with Jesus. From the first moment Jesus rescued her from the seven demons who lived inside her and tormented her, to those six hours being near Jesus as He suffered and died on the cross, to the moment on the first Easter Sunday morning when Jesus spoke to her after He rose from the dead: Mary Magdalene’s life was changed forever by Jesus. Once a person encounters Jesus, that person’s life is never the same again. And the question we are left with, that Jesus, Himself asks, is “Who do you say that I am?” - Mar 29, 2020Who Do You Say I Am: Claudia
Who Do You Say I Am: Claudia
Only one solitary verse in all the Bible mentions the wife of Pontius Pilate. Within those few words, her name is not even stated. Matthew’s gospel records her cited cameo in the crucial moments of Jesus’ trial that soon would determine his fate. Court is officially in session when an interruption breaks the concentration of the Roman governor, Pilate. Matthew 27:19 says, “While he was sitting on the judge’s bench, his wife sent word to him, ‘Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for today I’ve suffered terribly in a dream because of him.”’” That’s it. Nothing more is ever mentioned in all the pages of the Bible about Pilate’s wife.Who was this Claudia? What happened to her because of her dream? What was the source of her dream and how did she suffer from it? What did Claudia believe about Jesus? Who did she say Jesus was? No one truly knows the answers to these questions with certainty. What we do know is she had a dream, which so disturbed her emotionally and mentally, she had to do something even if it meant sacrificing her future. - Mar 22, 2020Who Do You Say I Am: Bartimaeus
Who Do You Say I Am: Bartimaeus
Bartimaeus and his blind friend most certainly had heard the news of Jesus’ healings. While they could not see, their other senses were keen to know what was happening around them. They could hear the commotion and the chatter from the crowd as Jesus made His way closer and closer toward them. At that moment they made a choice that would forever change their lives. They did all they could to be noticed by Jesus. - Mar 15, 2020Who Do You Say I Am: The Disciple
Who Do You Say I Am: The Disciple
In Matthew 16:15, Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" That is the most important question ever to be posed for all of humanity. Never will there be another question that rivals its gravity and consequence. Although we will face other questions of significance, no human being will ever be faced with a more poignant question with such eternal ramifications. Join us today as we unpack the significance of Jesus' exchange with His disciples at this time and at this particular location. - Mar 8, 2020Demolishing Strongholds
Demolishing Strongholds
The Apostle Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, " For although we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh, 4 since the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments 5 and every proud thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to obey Christ." In this message we examine the context as well as the application of these words to our lives. - Feb 2, 2020Suddenly
Suddenly
When God interrupts our plans and goals, it can be sudden and completely unexpected. During those times, we have a choice to make. Do we become angry and lash out or humble ourselves and remain obedient? - Jan 26, 2020Burn Hot

“I baptize you with[water for repentance, but the One who is coming after me is more powerful than I. I am not worthy to remove His sandals. He Himself will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." Matthew 3:11 - Dec 29, 2019Negative Attachments
Negative Attachments
Over the years, we pick up habits, negative attitudes, and a litany of other dangerous attachments, which, if left in place, can hurt us. Some of them are our fault while others were attached to us by the actions and words of others,. Regardless of the source, they are equally dangerous and must be dealt with. It is not God's will for us to live in captivity and He can deliver us if we seek Him. - Dec 15, 2019Hope
Hope
Zacharias and Elizabeth had given up hope on having a child. Elizabeth was barren and well beyond child bearing age. This all changed one day as Zacharias served in the temple. An angel appeared to him with a promise from God, "“Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John." (Luke 1:13) Zacharias was skeptical, but God delivered on His promise and many lives were changed. No matter how bleak things look, remember as long as God is on the throne there is always hope and hope in Him will never disappoint (Romans 5:5)!
