Have you ever been abandoned? Or perhaps you were the one who left someone when they needed you. Sometimes when we depart from Jesus, we feel guilty and shame-filled, and our thought is that Jesus will never forgive us. In It's Not Over Pastor Todd Doxzon teaches from Mark 14 and John 21, and reminds us that even when we Desert and Deny Jesus, his love is unwavering and he will Dine with us when we return to him, because he wants to restore us. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

Have you ever had a tough time relating to someone? Or perhaps you have been really annoyed with someone and have been judging them. In In Our Shoes Pastor Todd Doxzon reminds us that we don't have the proper perspective to judge anyone. As he teaches from Hebrews 2:14-18, we learn that Jesus got in our shoes by taking on human flesh so that we could be free. As we put our trust in Jesus, he can free us from our fears, help us to build a bridge when needed, and help us when we're hurting. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

Who have you been surrounding yourself with in this season?  We oftentimes become a product of the atmosphere that we permit. In Surrounded By Faith, Pastor Mike O'Connell teaches from Mark 2 and shares the three types of friends we need to be surrounded by.  It's important that we are surrounded by: friends who will carry us to Jesus; friends that help us to break through barriers; and friends who are faith-filled.  We pray you are encouraged by this message!

When was the last time you were truly happy or genuinely content?  When our contentment is connected to material things or relationships with people, things change and we often find ourselves frustrated.  In Are You Content? Pastor Todd Doxzon teaches from 1 Timothy 6, and through Paul's letter to Timothy, we learn that there is no contentment under the sun because true contentment is only found in the Son.  We pray you are encouraged by this message!

How is your emotional and spiritual health due to the last 18 months? There have been many responses to the way things have changed, and perhaps you have found yourself asking "Who Am I?", "Why Am I Here?", or "Where Am I Going?" In "Post Pandemic Poll" Pastor Todd Doxzon teaches from 1 Thessalonians 3 and reminds us that our identity and security should come from Jesus Christ; we were uniquely created for a specific reason and purpose, and it's important for us to take inventory of our eternal destiny. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

In "The Warrior With A Weakness", Pastor Todd Doxzon reminds us that some of our greatest strengths can come with a weakness. As he teaches from 2 Kings 5, we learn about Naman, a great warrior who had two weaknesses: leprosy and his pride. However, the keys to his healing were his Homegirl praying for him, his Homies encouraging him to follow the prophet's direction, and his Humility to be obedient. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

We all were created in the image of a Creator! In "Creating a New Kingdom", Pastor Kap Chatfield gives us three principles from 2 Chronicles 9, to help us use our gifts and talents to bring God glory.

We can all be filled with the Holy Spirit, and he will be a source of comfort, conviction, and clarity. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

Have you been feeling like your circumstances are giants that are stopping you from experiencing God's best for your life? In "Kill The Giant", Pastor Kap Chatfield teaches from 1 Samuel 17. Here we see David, a young kid who was not an experienced soldier, facing Goliath, a 9-foot tall champion soldier for the opposing team. David was facing an actual giant, but by surrendering his will to the Lord, standing alone when necessary, and not overcomplicating the situation, he was able to victoriously defeat the giant in his life! We pray you are encouraged by this message.

What do people experience when they interact with you?  In "You Are A…!” Pastor Todd Doxzon breaks down 2 Corinthians 2-4 and explains that our lives are like a scent that should disperse the fragrance of Christ. If our fragrance has been “stinky” in this season, we have a great opportunity to plug back into the source so that the sweet fragrance of Christ will flow once again. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

Have you ever had a season where things were going well, and then suddenly your momentum came to a screeching halt?  In "Momentum Killers", Pastor Todd Doxzon takes us through Joshua chapter 7 and reveals three things that can kill our momentum (stolen stuff, self-sufficiency, and secret sin).  He also equips us with three practical ways to gain freedom (confess to God, confess to a spouse/ trusted friend, and invite accountability).  We pray you are encouraged by this message!

What does it look like when heaven touches a business? In "Taking Over" Pastor Kap Chatfield teaches from Joshua chapter 1.

We pray this message encourages you to ask God what your assignment is in this season, and rely on his strength to fulfill it!

In “Lost” Pastor Todd Doxzon unpacks the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15. We learn that Jesus tells this story to reveal the heart of the Father for those who are lost. The Lord loves the lost and is anticipating their return home. God isn’t looking to spite you, He wants to pour out blessing on you. We pray that this message encourages you to come back home.

In "Prep Talk" Pastor Todd Doxzon teaches out of Deuteronomy chapters 5-9. He breaks down 5 main ideas that God instructed Moses to share with the Israelites as they prepared to enter the promised land. They were stepping into a season where they would reap God’s blessing; This was not because of what they had done, but because of God’s great love for them. The same God that blessed them is the God that blesses you. We pray that this message encourages you!
