Destiny Church of Jacksonville

There is a deception that takes place when we become just hearers of the Word and not doers.

In Unhindered Part 4, Pastor Chris brought an incredible message about the transformation that comes with intimately knowing God. The One who calls us to run this race is also the One who equipped us for it.

Anything that hinders your walk with Christ should be discarded without hesitation. What is God calling you to remove from your life to see Him more clearly today?

There is no greater aspiration than the pursuit of pleasing God. 

Part 3 of our Unhindered series was powerful as Pastor Chris brought a message on Colossians 1:9-12 that you won't want to miss! We learned that God tells things to His friends and when we walk worthy of His call, we become a living testimony.

The same grace that saved you is the same grace that sustains you. Will you choose to walk in grace today?

Our faith in God and our love for one another are as inseparable as a wave is from the ocean. 

In part two of our Unhindered series, Pastor Chris brought a powerful message about faith in God and our love for others. The essence of Christian community is a shared faith that binds us together in a mutual love for Christ and for one another. Our love for God and our love for one another are like the twin pillars upon which our Christian walk is built. Our faith should fuel our love, and our love should confirm the authenticity of our faith.

To love Christ is to love others. How are you loving others today?

Your circumstance does not dictate your destiny. 

In a start to our brand new series, Pastor Chris brought an incredible message about gratitude and miracles in the book of Colossians. In every situation that you face in life: You can either choose to be a victim or a victor.

If we will start thanking God in faith for the things that we don’t see, it’s just a matter of time before we will begin to witness His hand moving in our lives! What will you choose to thank Him for today?

You find life when you go for it! 

One of our own, Christian Brown, brought an incredible message today on finding life when we seek it out! It will take a lifetime of consistent and focused effort to truly obtain what God has for you.

There is life and then life to the full. Which will you choose today?

God said it. I believe it. That settles it!

In the last part in our All In series, Pastor Chris brought an incredible message about calling and the difficulties we walk through when we follow God on this earth. What you are going through doesn't define you. 

God will often do His greatest work in our lives when we find ourselves in trouble or in transition. 

As we are approaching the end of our incredible All In series, Pastor Chris brought a message about transition and trouble and how when you start being steered by what makes sense, it’s just a matter of time before you’re walking by sight, and not by faith.

The trouble that’s facing you today will be the testimony of triumph tomorrow! How will you choose to see your circumstances today?

People can argue theology with you but they can’t argue about what Jesus has done in your life.

Today, Pastor Chris preached from Acts 26, when Paul gives his testimony to King Agrippa. Your testimony is your unique story of your experience with God and there are only 3 parts to giving yours!

Sharing Your Testimony:

1. Talk about what your life was like before Christ.

2. Talk about how you came to Christ.

3. Talk about your life now after salvation.

 

Who will you share yours with today?

God will use you to do great things even in the midst of your toughest trials and greatest challenges.

For week 32 of our All In series, Pastor Chris brought an incredible message about Paul and persevering though trials. It’s in the fertile soil of adversity that seeds of character, perseverance, and wisdom are sown. Trials are not meant to define us, but refine us into God is calling us to be.

How will you view your trials today?

Jesus teaches us, and models for us, how to live in a way that is completely upside down from the rest of the world.  

This week, Pastor Daniel taught us what it means to live according to Jesus' teachings; to live "Upside Down" in this world. God does amazing things through ordinary people, when those people live for God and others, instead of living just for themselves.

Our actions and reactions should always be producing the righteousness of God! Do yours?
