Unshakeable (Part 13)

You are alive with Christ. Alive with purpose, power, and with the Holy Spirit inside of you!

Pastor Chris brought part 13 in our Unshakeable series and taught about powerful lesson on freedom in Christ. So often, we forget that we’re not just dead to sin, but we’re alive to God.

Jesus didn’t die just to get you into heaven someday, He died to get heaven into you today. How will that change how you live this week?

Unshakeable (Part 12)

There is no pit so deep that God's grace is not deeper still. 

Pastor Chris continued in our Unshakeable series with a challenge that grace doesn’t make sense unless you first understand how badly you need it. If you don't understand the need for grace you won't be able to fully receive it. 

How will you approach the concept of grace today?

Made to Grow (Eric Carter)

Whatever isn’t growing is dying.

Today, we welcomed one of our Elders, Eric Cater, to the pulpit and he taught about growing in our faith. We learned about the essential importance of continuing to root ourselves in the soil of His Word so that we may continue to grow. 

A lot of people are walking away from the faith because they aren’t growing. We aren’t coming alongside them. How will this change how you approach the people around you this week?

Unshakeable (Part 11)

If He loved you at your worst, then you don’t have to wonder if He still loves you now.

We continued in our Unshakeable series this morning with a lesson on love from Romans 5. Pastor Chris taught that unshakeable love moves first, changes everything, and secures your future. If you are in Christ, you have been declared righteous in the courtroom of Heaven. You have been set free!

Will you choose to move in freedom this week?

Unshakeable (Part 10)

Peace doesn’t start with how you feel. Peace starts with where you stand.

Pastor Chris preached the house down this morning with a message about the value of grace in our quest for peace. He taught from Romans 5 that peace comes when you finally realize that your standing is not based on your perfection, it’s based on His payment. 

Through Christ we know that grace doesn’t eliminate the battle, but it guarantees the victory. How will that truth lead you to real peace through grace this week?

Unshakeable (Part 9)

You may not see the full harvest of the seeds you’re planting, but someone will.

Happy Father’s Day! Today we received the next part in our Unshakeable series with a lesson in Romans 4. Pastor Chris taught that the greatest thing you’ll ever pass down to your kids isn’t what you put in their hands, but what you put in their hearts.

How will that change the way you approach those around you this week?

Who Are You (Pastor Rick Martin)

Today we welcomed friend of Destiny Church Pastor Rick Martin all the way from Belize, where he and his family are missionaries.

He taught that we need to meditate on our true identity in Christ if we are to fully live according to His will. If we don’t, the things around us will pull us away from that identity.

What will you choose to focus on this week?

Unshakeable (Part 7)

Grace never gives you a platform to stand on — it gives you a Savior to cling to.

We continued in our series on Romans this morning with a message on the power of grace. Pastor Chris taught that when it comes to grace, you don’t earn it — you receive it and that you can’t boast in grace — you surrender to it. 

When it comes to our identity in Christ, the Cross settled it. How will that change the way you live this week?

Unshakeable (Part 6)

Faithfulness is not just something God does — it’s who He is.

We continued in our Unshakeable series this morning with a message on the faithfulness of God from Romans 3. Pastor Chris taught that the mercy of God is still flowing and His grace still stands. God’s faithfulness isn’t cancelled by our failure.

Until you realize the depth of your sin, you won’t cherish the depth of His grace. Will you walk in grace this week?

Mother's Day (Pastor Jodi Tomlinson)

Immaturity doesn’t need deliverance; it needs perseverance.

Happy Mother’s Day! Today we had the pleasure of hearing from one of our Senior Pastors, Jodi Tomlinson and she brought an incredible message about walking in maturity. She taught that we must make a habit out of endurance through difficulty so that we can return to the joy of the Lord.

This week, ask yourself: Who am I when I’m afraid, angry, or insecure? Do I still reflect the character of Christ?
