STUDIO

Pastor Candace continued the series “Strong Faith, Contagious Hope and Enduring Love”. In part 2 she took us on a journey about our Identity in God and 4 accompanying truths:I am accepted - because the guilt of sin is covered by the righteousness of Christ.I am free - from bondage of sin through the power of Jesus in my life.I am not alone - but accompanied by the Counselor, the Spirit of the Messiah.I am powerful - with the freedom to resist and expel the powers of the darkness.One of the vital ingredients to being a people full of Faith, Hope and Love is living in the reality of who God is and who we are in him.

Your story is powerful! This past weekend, Pastor Shayna spoke about becoming generational storytellers. Our stories can be roadmaps for future generations that point to the power and awe of God. What if out of the abundance of our hearts, we allowed our mouths to speak of what God has done in our life? Let’s become storytellers for a generation!Psalms 78:1-8 shows us the importance of telling this next generation "the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done." Our bodies are designed to make long-term memories when something is repetitively remembered. Don't get weary of telling what God has done in your life, it could help build trust in the Lord for future generations. Jesus commanded Joshua to build a physical representation with 12 stones to remind "all the people of the earth so they might know that the hand of the Lord is powerful and so that you might always fear the Lord your God,” (Joshua 4:24).By telling your story to another, you could become the physical representation of the power and awe of God, bringing someone back to hope, and being able to stand for the unseen.For more info you can go to our website and also check us out on instagram and Facebook.

This is the kickoff to our fall series titled STRONG FAITH / CONTAGIOUS HOPE / ENDURING LOVE. In week 1, Pastor Eric talked about our Identity and why it is so important for each of us to know and be connected to our Identity. The origination and true value of your identity is not determined by anything in this dimension as it was created outside of this reality. Identity Theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in our day. The reason your identity is worth stealing because it has infinite value. Long before identity theft was an issue in modern times the enemy has been relentlessly working to steal your identity. This talk is to help understand your identity in God and what to do to restore your identity so you can live fully alive in this world.

This past Sunday, Candace shared a message on “The Place Where We Stand”. There is a battle for our lives, hope, peace, and future and we are called to stand. One of the key places that this battle is fought on, is our minds. Even when things are swirling, we are called to live in peace and to stand our ground. God is growing us, strengthening us, and anchoring us in Him.“You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character], Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation]. 4 “Trust [confidently] in the Lord forever [He is your fortress, your shield, your banner], For the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages] Isaiah 26:3-4 AMPWe chose what we feast on and where we want to live. We can live in chaos, fear, torment, or peace - and it often has little to do with what is happening, and more to do with our thoughts and agreements. What we think about and partner with will impact how we live and who we become.For more info you can go to our website and also check us out on instagram and Facebook. We are also on YouTube.

We continued the talk from the previous week called The House that Wisdom Builds. One thing humans have in common is a deep longing to be someone who can stand the test of time and stand tall through all the experiences of being human. In part 2 of this talk, we looked at a few things that we can do to help build a house (us) that can withstand and last through all the elements of the human experience. The first thing we brought up was the ability to articulate what it is you long for. There is this moment when Jesus asked Blind Bartimeus “what can I do for you?” It's interesting that Jesus still asked the question when it seems obvious what Bartimeus needs. In our journey of life, being specific about what you long for in your life is something Jesus looks for and is important to Him.Secondly, understanding there is a difference between having no pain and being healthy. Do you wonder how much of our lives are we just trying to get out of pain, but not doing what it takes to get to a place of health. It is vital our motivation in life shouldn’t just be to not have pain, but to be in a place of health. The last thing we talked about was asking ourselves the question, why is it so hard for us to receive instruction, advice and correction? Pride. The enemy of the house your soul longs to build is Pride. The enemy of your future is Pride. Imagine with me just on the other side of Pride is a house can be built that will stand the test of time. But because of Pride and Self Preservation we will miss out on wisdom, understanding and knowledge to build a house that goes into the future and increases in strength, courage and blessings. It’s time to confront the pride in our life. For more info you can go to our website and also check us out on instagram and Facebook. We are also on YouTube.

Living the human experience is tricky enough. Pastor Eric talks about keys and insights in the Scriptures that not only reconcile the past and help us in the present but it also helps to build the future.This week, we looked at Proverbs 23:3-4Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established;By knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches.There are three words that if you understand them, they will not only help you in living this life but will help to set yourself up for the future. These three words are Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge.*Wisdom is the how. *Understanding is the why*Knowledge is the information and material in front of you.As we read scriptures it is evident that God wants to build his people not just to survive, but to actually live a life they were designed to live. The key is to learn how to take knowledge to a place of understanding, which then gives you the keys on how to build. Listen to this talk to hear of the 3 Primary ways you can get wisdom.For more info you can go to our website and also check us out on instagram and Facebook. We are also on YouTube.

If you watch what you think you won’t have to watch what you say. If you are aware of what you think, then you know what you’re going to say.One of the most beautiful aspects of creation is sound. God determined that sound would exist in his creation and we would be able to create sound in so many different ways. Certain words put together in certain ways, can bring destruction or create life. Certain words put together a certain way can lead to a world of possibilities. On Sunday we looked at 2 Chronicles 20 and examined a story where multiple armies are on the verge of attacking the nation of Judah. Listen to hear how God steps in and fights the battle for them and how their sound was instrumental in seeing the enemy defeated. What we can learn from this story is we often forget as a follower of Jesus our future isn’t only created because we know what we are doing and what we are capable of doing, it’s created because we surrender our lives and we seek Him.

"And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." 1 Cor 13:13Experiencing rich fulfilling relationships is what we all want, but to have these we must be open. It is in that place of hope, trust, and openness that makes this possible for us, but it is also these very things that make us vulnerable to being hurt. This past Sunday, Pastor Candace talked about some of this and how we can experience healing in those areas of pain inside us. Inspired by Joseph, she shared his journey of healing, after walking through some of the deepest betrayal and challenges anyone could face.We are created for relationship with God and people and He wants to heal our wounds so that we can be free to love and live.Prayer of healing and forgiveness:We trust you God with our hearts, our lives, and our journeys. We invite you into the places where we have been hurt and/or are still hurting. Show us any ways where we have acted out or sinned against you, ourselves or others. Forgive us for _______ (putting up walls, numbing, hate, jealousy, judging, bitterness..), as we forgive those who have done wrong toward us or hurt us unintentionally. We surrender to you and release those who have hurt us. Fill our hearts with your love - the love “that bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things” - and heals our wounds so that we can be whole, free and healthy. It’s time to heal!For more info you can go to our website and also check us out on instagram and Facebook. We are also on YouTube. If you want to support STUDIO financially you can do so here.

In this week's talk “The Art of Battle” we learned that each of us have a longing to know why we exist and what our purpose is. Sometimes we don’t know who we are because we never had a battle to reveal who we are.In Zechariah 1:18-21, we read about 4 craftsmen who were sent to battle against the enemy of God. This is a unique strategy of God to send craftsmen and artisans to war. Through this scripture we learn that part of our existence is connected to creating while we are in battle.When in war, CreateWhen you are oppressed, CreateWhen you are trying to survive, CreateWhen you want to find out why you exist, CreateThe enemy of your soul is mediocrityThe enemy of your soul is oppressionThe enemy of your soul is becoming stagnantThe enemy of your soul is being scatteredThe response to all this is CREATE!!For more info you can go to our website and also check us out on instagram and Facebook.

This past weekend, Pastor Eric wrapped up the study on the Holy Spirit. It is evident throughout scripture that where the Spirit is there is life. This Sunday’s talk was framed around three questions regarding the Spirit of God:*Why is being filled with the Spirit of any value today?*How do you know the Spirit is in you?*What’s next?We learned that the Spirit in us isn’t just for us but it also means we get to be participants in the mission of Jesus in touching all of humanity. There are things we are to do while we follow Jesus that can only come with the power of the Spirit that lives in you. When the Spirit of God lives in you we learn there are things he gives to us: Gifts of the Spirit.We looked through different places in the bible that reference these gifts and we moved towards this reality that God gives us these gifts to enable us to live and do just life like Jesus did. These gifts are designed to bring heaven to earth. These gifts are for you!For more info you can go to our website and also check us out on instagram and Facebook. We are also on YouTube.
