[[:encoded, "No matter what happens, God is in control. God rules the circumstances of your life and when you have the peace of God you can handle anything. Trust in Him."]]

[[:encoded, "An uncommon conversion starts with an uncommon conviction. Listen to this message about Saul who became Paul on the Road to Damascus. Sometimes God has to break us in order to use us, as He did with Saul. And we should never resist when God does this in our lives. Only then can He use us fully for His Kingdom purposes."]]

[[:encoded, "In the story of Stephen it's easy to see that God was at work throughout all of it. They killed the messenger, but they couldn't kill the message! This message is in two parts: 1) How to live for Jesus, and 2) How to die with Jesus. Listen now and see how God worked through the life of this extraordinary man."]]

[[:encoded, "When you're given an uncommon assignment by God, do like the early church did. You can remember it be the acronym SHAPE - See the need, Hear God's call, Accept God's assignment, Prepare for ministry, and Engage in the work. And remember that an uncommon assignment can produce uncommon results."]]

[[:encoded, "Discipline never feels good when its happening, but when God disciplines us He's doing it to purify us and to build our character to be more like Jesus."]]

[[:encoded, "God does uncommon things. A lot of us miss these things because our eyes are looking down and are not focused upward. Jesus is our Healer who heals our bodies, minds, and souls."]]

[[:encoded, "Biblical community is about humbling yourself and being connected with others. Your relationship with Jesus his personal, but you can't grow to full spiritual maturity in your faith without community. Life is just better when we're connected."]]

[[:encoded, "What starts here changes eternity! God created something uncommon when the early Church came into existence. The Holy Spirit that moved mightily in their presence is the same that moves with great power today."]]

[[:encoded, "Moses was \"invaded\" by God, stepped into His plan, and Moses was never the same. He had no idea what was ahead of him, but he knew God was there with him. May each of us have that same kind of trust in God."]]

[[:encoded, "Of all He did in creation, God declared everything good but aloneness. He put community, family and relationships into our hearts for a reason. Join us as we continue our series \"Rescuer\" on Moses and the Exodus."]]

[[:encoded, "God will make a way. Consider some of the promises God made to Moses and the Israelites: \"I will bring you out.\"\n\"I will free you from the oppression of sin.\"\n\"I'm going to redeem you.\"\n\"I'm going to claim you and call you my own.\"\nGod wants to do the same for all of us."]]

[[:encoded, "This message is about God's vision versus human vision. It's not about our capacity. It's about what God wants us to be. Everything in our lives is used by God so that we ourselves can be used by God."]]

[[:encoded, "God wants to rescue you so you can rescue others. He desires for us to live in freedom and not oppression. This is the background of the Exodus. Join us in our new series about Moses and the Exodus in this first message and the ones to follow."]]

[[:encoded, "Jesus is the resurrection and the life. He is our Hope. He is the God with whom you can relate. He is the Redeemer. Jesus is also the One who releases you to work in His kingdom by spreading His message of hope to others. Happy Easter!"]]

[[:encoded, "Our brokenness is often God's pathway to our deliverance. Pastor Scott Weatherford shares a message of deliverance from legalism by trusting Christ for the abundant life He promised. Many times we choose to live in defeat and discouragement. We are challenged to have a true vision of Jesus and His gift of grace and freedom."]]

[[:encoded, "Our lives are not identified by what we've done but identified by our Savior. Pastor Scott Weatherford shares the story of Jesus' forgiveness to a woman caught in adultery when others sought to condemn her. Jesus knows the sting of condemnation, can relate to your hurt, and offers freedom from guilt, shame, and judgement as you turn to Him."]]

[[:encoded, "God is always up to something. The saddest thing to imagine is an encounter with Jesus that changes nothing. Religion can keep us crippled and defeated but Jesus can heal us - even when we are unwilling?"]]

[[:encoded, "Faith is a radical reliance on God that is grounded in trust and leads us into action. God wants to do a a work in our lives, but we have to exercise our faith in Him."]]
