Heart Matters
In this message, Pastor Chris looks at Proverbs 4:23 and gives us five ways in which we can be diligent with what pertains to our heart. As he explains, when the Bible references the heart, it is referring to the essence of our being, our true inner self, not the physical muscle. As the world grows darker and farther away from God, it is imperative that we be dedicated to keeping our heart tethered to God's heart.

    The Lord Is On Your Side
    As believers, we have reason to rejoice and not be anxious. In this encouraging message, Pastor Anthony walks through Philippians 4:4 - 9 and reminds us Who is on our side. Nothing going on in this world has taken God by surprise and He is sovereign over all. To remain strong and courageous in this world, our focus must remain on Him.

    The Throne of Grace
    God is not a long ways off and He is not someplace where we cannot find Him. He gave us the remedy to the sense of disconnection and separation we battle at times in our life. Pastor Chris reminds us, as we see in Hebrews 4:14 - 16, that God made a bridge for us--Jesus, our High Priest. And God Himself implores us to come boldly, confidently, to the throne of grace to find our help.

    When Hope Fades
    Hopelessness is a silent killer--robbing our joy and peace, ultimately leading to despair, where no relief seems forthcoming. Is there a remedy? In this timely and timeless message, Pastor Chris looks at the life of the weeping prophet Jeremiah. In Jeremiah 33:1 - 3,  we find three ways in which God infuses hope in the most dire of circumstances. When we radiate hope, it fills us and our environment and praise arises, reminding us that all things are possible with God.

    Have You Heard From God Lately?
    Does God truly speak to people today? How do we know when it is Him speaking? Every person on a path to follow God asks these questions. In this message, Pastor Chris walks us through these queries, referencing Isaiah 30:19 & 21. He shows us five ways in which God speaks and gives us three practical things to do in order to hear from God. He also reminds us that the greatest aspect of prayer is not what we say to God, but what He says to us.

    Contentment In the Age of Consumerism
    We are inundated on all sides, everyday, with the temptation to accumulate more stuff, which robs us of contentment and convinces us that our happiness is based on how much of that stuff we have. Somehow, we must remind ourselves that the greatest things in life are not things at all and that God calls us to be content with what we currently have. To combat this pressure, Pastor Chris lays out three strategies from Hebrews 13:5 & 6 so that we can say, as Paul said, "I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content."

    It’s Not Your Time
    Everyone needs the Gospel, the Good News of Jesus. That must be the purpose for all we do as believers. In this message, Pastor Anthony reminds us, from Matthew 28:19 & 20, that we are to be on a journey for souls...that is God's business.

    Fear Not, Only Believe
    We all experience fear, some on a daily basis, ranging from mild attacks to panic attacks. It is meant to paralyze us, limit our faith, jeopardize our health and stifle our joy. Fear fights against the very critical aspect of faith that we are taught to live our lives by. So what is the antidote to fear? Pastor Chris gives us three points from the record of Jairus and the woman with the issue of blood we encounter in Luke 8:40 - 56.  We must learn to use this antidote and not allow fear to incapacitate us.

    Praise In the Valley
    Life is a series of peaks and valleys; and though we all wish life was only the mountain peak moments, the reality is that most of life is lived in the valleys. The challenge of faith is to turn our valleys into places of praise. In 2 Chronicles 20:1 - 26,  we learn invaluable spiritual lessons from King Jehoshaphat that we can implement as we face our enemies. Pastor Chris highlights practical tips for praising in the valley and encourages us that praise really makes the difference when we cannot add it all up or see the way out yet we choose to praise God in the midst of it.

    The Way Out of Worry
    Everyone, to one degree or another, worries. We know, and studies have proven, that worry is emotionally, spiritually and even physically unhealthy. But what is the remedy? Reading from Matthew 6:25 - 34, Pastor Chris points out three practical observations that we can implement in our daily life. This will help us put our worries in the "God box" and allow Him to reign over our lives so we can rest in Him.

    When Faith Counts
    A question asked by most people is, "Why do we suffer?" In the crucible of life, in the face of unanswered questions, we can feel hopeless and despaired. But, in this message, Pastor Chris looks at the life of Job, a man intimately familiar with unanswered questions, and highlights what Job did in the midst of his turmoil and the eventual outcome. In the book of Job we do not see why the righteous suffer, but rather, what to do when they suffer and we see when faith really counts.

    In Christ
    Fear causes confusion and many people, including Christians, have been caught up in that confusion. As believers, we must be firmly planted in the foundation of truth and know who we are in Christ so we can stand against fear and confusion. In this message, Wade Urban of Restoration Ministries breaks down Galatians 2:20 and reminds us that we do not have a "destination" Gospel, but a "right here, right now" Gospel and we need to walk in the reality of who we are in Christ.

    The Confidence Component
    We need an anointing of confidence to do and to say what God has called us to and that confidence must be in God alone, not in a person. When we hear from God, it breeds a level of confidence the enables us to be bold for Him. In this message, Pastor Chris looks at the words of God to Joshua in Joshua 1:1 - 9 and the promises found there. We can also stand on those promises and be encouraged, as Joshua was, that God will never leave us or forsake us.

    O Wretched Man That I Am
    "When a man is getting better he understands more and more clearly the evil that is still left in him. When a man is getting worse he understands his own badness less and less." (C. S. Lewis) There is a false notion that if there is no God, we can have complete liberation; but in reality, we become enslaved to sin. In this message, Pastor Chris preaches from Romans 7, reminding us that we all have a flesh that wars against the Spirit. The only way to gain the victory in this war is through the power of Jesus Christ and His victory over sin.

    Not Forsaken
    As it seems that everywhere we turn, there is more bad news and chaos, we need to remain about the Master's business. That can seem like a daunting task until we remember the promise of God found in Psalm 9:10. In this message, Pastor Chris encourages us with that promise and reminds us that our job is to seek God; it is God's job to take care of us. And prayer, though it is not the only thing, is the chief thing.

    It’s Time to Quarantine!
    Lately, we have heard a lot about quarantining for the reason of our health. But, as Pastor Anthony exhorts in this message, it is vital that we quarantine certain things for the reason of our faith. He lays out four items that must be quarantined, or put in isolation, in the life of a believer if we are to walk strong and victorious.

    Prospering in the Famine
    In this current spiritual famine in which we find ourselves, we desperately need God and the leading of Holy Spirit. In this message, Pastor Chris takes us to Genesis 26, where we find Isaac prospering in the midst of a famine. Pastor Chris give us three points to learn from Isaac to help us prosper in the midst of the famine.

    The Remnant
    No matter what it may look like in these last days, God has always had and will always have a people, regardless of those who fall away. As Pastor Chris encourages from Joel 2, he points out that the remnant is not the "leftovers", but rather the seed of revival. Even though it may seem like no one else remains faithful to God and His Word, there is a remnant. And we must remember that the message of hope that we have must continue to be proclaimed and that the best is still ahead.

    Power for End Time Living
    We cannot give away what we do not have. So, for us to make a difference in this hour, we need dynamic power on board. We need Holy Spirit power so that, come what may, we will have what we need. In Acts 1:1 - 8, Jesus admonished His disciples to not be concerned with the details of God's plan, but to be empowered by the Holy Spirit to be His witnesses. In this message, Pastor Chris gives us three reasons as to why we must do the same.

    The Coming Storm
    Amos 3:7 tells us that "God does nothing without revealing His secret to His servants". In this message, we hear Pastor Dana Coverstone share his three prophetic dreams regarding near future events. Then, Pastor Chris lays out several points we need to do as the Church to prepare for the coming storm. We are in a time that is not about the Church being comfortable; but rather, it's about us getting people ready for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
