Destiny Church of Jacksonville, FL

Don’t assume that you can spend a few minutes with people you barely know one time and see the power of Pentecost. Start doing life together! How will you live in the fullness of the power of God this week?

As we make our way toward completion of the callings of God on our lives, we have to consider that we’re probably farther along than we think we are. Take heart! The Lord is clear in His calling to face our Jerichos, and He won’t call us to something He doesn’t intend on leading us all the way through.

When we harbor unforgiveness, we build a dam that suppresses God’s blessings in our lives. God is so wise in that He acknowledges the past, but also calls us to move forward. What good did remembering those hurtful actions and words ever do for you?

If we find ourselves in the midst of bad habits, we have the responsibility to make that habit hard to do. Recognize the triggers and step far away from the situations that cause them. Based on who you want to become, what one habit do you need to break?

The miracle happens when you give it away. God wants to bless your brokenness and multiply you. What will you decide to be this week; a consumer or a disciple?

Over time, repeating these small things over and over will cause you to stand out amongst your peers, much like Daniel. What habit do you need to start doing this week?

We can’t expect change to happen overnight. We must choose day in and day out to follow after God, even if we aren’t seeing progress as fast as we would like to see it. If we believe that small, good decisions don’t make a difference, then we also won’t believe that small, bad decisions will make a difference.

Thank you for joining us for the Vision series. We sincerely hope that your faith has been stirred and that you are growing in a body of believers who are passionately pursing the causes of Christ. If you live the Jacksonville, FL area, we would love for you to join us for a Sunday morning service!

1 Corinthians 12 compares us to a body - dysfunctional when a part is missing. Community is an integral part of that body! Will you choose growth through community this week?

We have been given the greatest gift through Christ on the cross and it is up to us to accept it. The only true way forward is through Him. Will you choose Him?

We should never question in the valley what God has spoken on the mountain. It’s direction, not intention that determines destination! We have a responsibility to remember the vision God has given us every day! What will you choose this brand new year?

Hezekiah responded to his difficult situation by seeking the Lord’s will, but what will our approach be? Will we give in to the devil’s lies or will we trust that God is who He says He is?

Jesus was born to reconcile us with God when sin stood in the way. Will you choose that true gift this Christmas season? Will you choose righteousness, peace, and joy? He’s waiting for you!

We have endless decisions to make, whether big or small, and endless opportunities to honor God in those choices. How will you shift your focus on your decision-making this week? If you live in or around the Jacksonville area, or are just visiting our great city, we would love to meet you! Make plans to attend a Sunday morning service. We look forward to seeing you!

This holiday season, we have so many opportunities to step out in faith. Will you practice that faith this week, even though we may not see the full picture? God is not looking for outward qualifiers, He’s looking at the heart! He’s not interested in the obvious choice, He’s interested in YOU!

When you know where you’re going, it changes your perspective on where you are! If your desire is to grow in any area of your life, it is vitally important to closely listen to the leading of the Holy Spirit so that complaining is avoided, conflict is resolved, and freedom in change is embraced.

Our problems are not circumstantial, our problems are perceptual. We are called to look beyond what our physical eyes can see to how the Lord is moving in our lives. How will you choose to see beyond your circumstances this week?

Pastor J.D. Small, our guest teacher this week, challenged us to live as members of God’s family, rather than those on the outside. He has incredible promises for us, but will only bring them to life in the way that He has planned. Will you hold tight to the faith to believe that He is good and that He has good things for you?

Disobedience comes with a stiff price, are you willing to pay it? You will never discover the will of God for your life without being diligent in your time in His Word. If you want to know His plans, read what He has to say!

Hello and welcome to the Podcast of Destiny Church of Jacksonville. If you've been following us for a while, you know that Pastor Chris can get fired-up from time to time. Today, with much enthusiasm, he kicks off a new mini-series called "Kings and Kingdoms" and as you might have guessed, we will be referencing scripture from 1 Kings in the Old Testament. Even though the stories of King Rehoboam and King Jeroboam happened thousands of years ago, there are still timely lessons to be gleaned on how we deal with issues of sin and obedience, and ultimately the consequences of our experiences with both. There's a lot in here, so make sure you have a journal and your Bible handy and follow along as we dive into "Kings and Kingdoms".
