Breaking Free From Generational Curses
Is it inevitable that we are cursed because of what someone in our family did in a previous generation? Is it possible to rise above familial or even national disfunction? In this uplifting message, Pastor Chris shows that we do not have to be bound by where we came from or by what someone else did in another time and place. Where we start does not determine where we end because of Jesus Christ and who we are in Him.

- Jul 11, 2021Breaking Free From Bondage

- Jul 4, 2021Fanatic Freedom
Fanatic FreedomIn this Independence Day message, Pastor Anthony brings an encouraging word from John 8:31 - 36, reminding us of where we find our true freedom. As believers, we need to grab a hold of the freedom and authority we have through and in Jesus Christ and walk as His light in this world. Because He bought our complete freedom from the power of Satan, we are free to live as Christ's ambassador's in this earth!
- Jun 27, 2021God Brought Us Out To Bring Us In
God Brought Us Out To Bring Us InIn this message, Pastor Chris looks at the passage in Deuteronomy 6, focusing on verse 23, to look at God's purpose for redeeming us. We begin to grasp some things from the experience of the Israelites in the desert of how God takes us out of the negative and brings us into the positive, in order that we might possess His promises. We must remember though that, along the way, what happens in us is of far more importance that what happens to us.

- Jun 6, 2021Simplicity
SimplicityHave we lost the real simplicity of our relationship with Jesus? It seems that when it comes to faith and our walk with God, we have overcomplicated it. Walking with the Lord and serving Him should be marked with joy and peace, not strife and turmoil. In this message, Pastor Chris highlights four simple and essential truths about serving Jesus from the passage found in Luke 10:38 - 42.

- Dec 4, 2019Facing Fear
Facing FearAs Pastor Chris begins with Genesis 3:1 - 10, he points out that the first consequence of the fall was fear. Satan does not want us doing anything productive for God's kingdom and fear is one of his most potent weapons used to keep us immobile. We must learn to answer with faith when fear is knocking at our door and remember that as God has taken care of our past with His grace and mercy, He will also take care of our future.
- Nov 20, 2019Weathering Worry
Weathering WorryNowhere in Scripture do we read where God says that to show how much we care, we need to worry. In fact, as Pastor Chris shows from Matthew 6:25 - 34 and Philippians 4:4 - 7, the exact opposite is true. He points out that the antidote to worry is prayer. And it is our job to do everything in our power and leave the deficit for God to make up.

Readying for Revival – Part 2In his continuation of "Readying for Revival", Pastor Chris highlights documented accounts of people's response to God's glory. He also looks as Daniel's encounter in Daniel 10:1 - 8 and reminds us that when we, as natural people, encounter the supernatural God, there is only so much we can take before there is an outward response to His glory. Ultimately, our goal is not the manifestations, but rather, an encounter with God (Daniel 10:6).
