The Charging Bull and the Rising Sun (Pastor Jodi Tomlinson)

Wherever you are right now, it is not the end of the story.

Pastor Jodi kicks off our New Year with a message entitled "The Charging Bull and the Rising Sun" where she encourages us to minister to God in the ways outlined in scripture. 

Journey To Hope (Eric Carter)

Failure to persevere leads to a perpetual state of suffering. 

Eric Carter brought an incredible message on suffering and the journey we take through it. We all walk through various types of suffering throughout our lives and by comparing ours to that of others, we miss out on the opportunity to see God work. 

Learning From Sorrow (Dr. Mitch Arbeláez)

When we walk with sorrow there are things that are learned and solidified in our spirit

Elder and longtime Destiny Church member, Dr. Mitch Arbeláez, brings a message on learning from the quiet companion of sorrow. After losing his wife of 30 years in August of 2021, he has learned great lessons on the nature of eternity and the world we find ourselves passing through. 

If being in the presence of Jesus is not enough to satisfy everyone of us then Heaven would be miserable and we would all be fools.

Foundations (JD Small)

The depth and strength of the foundation determines the structure that can be built. 

In "Foundations", guest speaker JD Small continues in our Building Your Life On Values That Last series by discussing the importance of Scripture.

Questions to ask yourself about scripture:

• Is it a filter for your decision?

• Do you bend scripture around your life or your life around scripture?

• Is it a lifestyle or emergency use only?

If you want the rights of sons and daughters you cannot abandon the responsibilities of sons and daughters. That includes reading the Bible and doing what it says.

Respect

The way we get others to show us respect is by showing respect to others first.

Pastor Chris continued in our "Building Your Life On Values That Last" series with a message on respect because God wants us to show it to others regardless of whether they show us respect in return. The most respected people are the most respectful people. Those that show it and receive it.

Faithfulness (Pastor Jodi Tomlinson)

Jesus is the answer, but He must be applied daily.

This week, our "Building Your Life On Values That Last" series continues with a timely message from Pastor Jodi on everyday faithfulness. We cannot inherit a strong relationship with God from our parents or grandparents. God has no grandchildren. So, it is up to each individual person to choose Him every day on our own in order to establish true, personal connection with God. 

The Value of Balance

Healing is the recovery of balance to the body.

 

In "The Value of Balance", Pastor Chris addresses our tendency for burnout directly by call it for what it is: a values issue. If we find that our life is falling apart, we have a faulty center. You have just enough time in the day to do God's will. Don't push yourself past what He has for you because He will always be enough.

Plug It In (Pastor Daniel Sutton)

Followers of Christ have access to the power of the Holy Spirit, but far too often do not plug in to that power and merely operate in their own strength. Plug it in! 

In "Plug It In", Pastor Daniel Sutton unpacks the power of the Holy Spirit and how spiritual consistency produces a prize that is worth waiting for.

Identity

When you don’t recognize the value of what you have, you’ll always get from it far less than it’s worth.

In "Identity", Pastor Chris continues in our Building Your Life On Values That Last series by examining the measuring sticks with which we measure who we are. A false identity will always lead to an identity crises. Our identity drives our actions, not the other way around.

Developing Self-Control

You always lose when you lose your temper. 

In "Developing Self-Control", Pastor Chris continues in our Building Your Life On Values That Last series by taking on the topic of anger. Quit saying you can’t control your anger and start realizing you can.
