Courage is the antidote to fear, and it always requires the right heart. To overcome the giants in our lives, we must listen to God's truth, desire God's glory, recall God's faithfulness, and trust in God's power.

Why are we so discouraged? We're tired, isolated, and distracted. What can we learn about how to overcome discouragement from the life of Elijah? Overcomers take time to rest and eat. They slow down and listen to God's voice. And they stop sitting and start serving.

The resurrection is a person to experience, not just an event to observe. There is now purpose in the pain, hope in the silence, and victory in the defeat. The resurrection of Jesus Christ makes the impossible ... possible.

How you respond to the question, "Who is Jesus?" will determine the direction and the decisions of your life. So, who is Jesus? Jesus is the Christ, the Savior, and the Light.

If we want to be great in the kingdom of God, we must focus on the mission, endure the suffering, serve with humility, and give to the eternal.

What does it take to follow Jesus? Following Jesus is hard, costly, and daily, but it is also worth it.

Our faith in Jesus must be personal, but it cannot be private. The message and authority of Jesus will divide people. Jesus desires our complete loyalty and to be our first priority, but following Jesus has a cost.

Your words are the most powerful and most dangerous resource you will ever possess. The words you speak are powerful. They will bring healing or pain; they will unite or divide. The words you listen to are powerful since they determine what you believe about God, yourself, and others. And your words reflect your heart.

How can we truly forgive others? Forgiveness requires increasing our faith, looking inside first, giving what we have received, choosing healing and freedom, and surrendering control.

Unconditional love is uncommon, but not impossible. Unconditional love celebrates the success, releases the offense, endures the adversity, and sacrifices the agenda.

Since great relationships start with us, how can we be different in our relationships? Be different in your thinking, your heart, and your habits.

When you are inside the belly of a fish (crisis), you quickly realize:1. You are not IN CONTROL.2. It's a good time to PRAY.1. Jesus has POWER AND AUTHORITY over all creation.2. Stop pursuing WORTHLESS IDOLS.3. SALVATION is found in Christ alone.4. HUMBLE yourself and CONFESS your sin.

The story of Jonah isn't about A FISH; it's about the Son of God. 1. Our BELIEFS will be challenged by our CIRCUMSTANCES.2. Our SIN impacts the PEOPLE CLOSEST TO US.3. Our BIASES could determine if others HEAR THE GOSPEL.4. Our REBELLION does not stop God's GRACE.

Hope is the confident expectation that there's more to come. Have you lost hope? When you feel betrayed, trust in the voice of God. When you feel like less than enough, focus on eternity with God. When you're tired of waiting, hold tight to the promises of God.

Pastor Todd Hartley brings a word on how jealousy steals our Christmas. Jealousy troubles our hearts, hides the truth, removes our joy, impacts our actions, and focuses on what we may lose rather than what God has given.

Pastor Scott Randlett brings a powerful message in what steals our Christmas. We all have an ENEMY who wants to steal our TRUST in who God is.

Pastor Scott Randlett continues to preach on the I AM statements of Jesus. This week he takes a dive into, John 8:12 -- Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” Pastor opens his message reminding us that everyone starts life in the dark. We must understand that light defeats the dark, exposes the truth, heals the broken and revives what is dead.

As we begin this new series diving into the "I AM" statements of Jesus, Pastor Scott Randlett looks at the statement, "I am the bread of life." From this statement Jesus is telling us that he satisfies, strengthens and saves us, no matter the situation we are in.
