Resilient

God's grace reaches out to those in the depths of uncertainty, offering them a chance to see and believe. 

This week, Pastor Chris kicked off a brand new message on the book of James and strength that prevails. He taught that God’s grace is sufficient in all things. That if His grace called you, it will sustain you. 

Jesus meets us right where we are, not matter where we are. Will you call out to Him today?

If/Then (Pastor Daniel Sutton)

If you do your part, then you can be sure God will do His.

Pastor Daniel brought an incredible message this morning about receiving healing, forgiveness, and restoration from the Lord. He taught from the promise of God in 2 Chronicles 7:14 and that it’s a promise, but it is not a promise for everyone.

IF no one can tell that you are a follower of Christ, THEN you are not a good follower of Christ. How will you live out your faith for real this week?

Mistaken Identity (Pastor Daniel Sutton)

When we know who we are in Christ, having our identity rooted in Him, we become relevant and are equipped to change the world.

Pastor Daniel took to the pulpit today and brought a powerful message about our identity in Christ! Identity leads to relevance and when we know who we are, we can gain a clearer picture of where we are headed.

How will you choose to see yourself and others this week? Through the lens of what has been spoken by flawed people or by God Himself?

Unhindered (Part 20)

Complaining is putting a period where God has placed a comma.

In the final part of our Unhindered series, Pastor Chris brought an incredible message about the power of our words. He taught that complaining causes unbelief to deepen and to grow. The repeated voicing of your dissatisfaction over the situation that God has you in won’t lead to any kind of true life, but bring in a death sentence. 

Sometimes the best thing that we can do to stay in faith is to keep our mouth shut. Where will your words direct your life today? 

Unhindered (Part 19)

Your pulse is proof that you have a purpose.

In part 19 of our Unhindered series, Pastor Chris brought a powerful message on time and how we manage it. Time is our most precious resource and when we steward it appropriately, we open doors for the miraculous. In other words, our faithfulness in the ordinary prepares us for the extraordinary.

Faith isn't a passive belief; it's an active assurance and conviction in God's promises and unseen realities. How will you prepare for the miraculous to take place in your life today?

Unhindered (Part 18)

How you live matters.

This week, Pastor Chris brought an incredibly powerful message about what it looks like to truly love those that don’t share the same faith that we do. In Colossians 4:5, Paul calls them “outsiders”. 

The reason many people don’t go to church is because they either don’t know a Christian or they do. How will you represent Christ this week?

Unhindered (Part 17)

It is in the place of prayer that we are changed.

This week we are back to our Unhindered series and Pastor Chris brought a timely message about prayer to kick off 2024! He taught that prayer isn't an expression of sympathy. It is an active engagement with the God of the universe. Everyone wants to be clothed in power but no one wants to be stripped of self.

We don't need more systems, programs, or events. We need more prayer.

How will you increase your prayer life this week?

The Challenge of Change

Faith doesn’t make things easy, it just makes them possible!

On New Year's Eve, Pastor Chris brought a challenging message about change. In order to see change through to the finish line, you’ve got to have a “no excuse” mindset, be committed to prayer, make the break with things that do not serve you in becoming more like Christ, and put on the new life in Him. 

Change is a discipline before it becomes a delight. Will you stick with it long enough for the former to turn into the latter? 

Go Tell It On The Mountain (Christmas Eve)

Jesus is present, accessible, and relevant to our lives today!

On Christmas Eve, Pastor Chris brought a powerful message about the greatest gift any of us could dream of this Christmas. The greatest gift you’ll ever receive isn’t the one wrapped and placed under a tree, but the one that was first wrapped in swaddling clothes and later hung upon a different kind of tree: the cross.

What will your heart be set on this Christmas? 

End to Begin (Pastor JD Small)

This week we welcomed longtime friend of Destiny Church, Pastor JD Small!

Christmas represents the age-old hope and expectation of the coming King. Jesus’ birth signaled the end of the law, division, and the reign of sin in the ancient world. The Pharisees and Saducees missed Jesus because they refused to believe anything other than the Law was possible. 

We live with hope when we live with Jesus. Will you choose hope today?
