Levi Lusko // "In the year King Uzziah died..." 52 years of strength were gone in an instant, and with their enemies gathering strength the People of God looked in the only direction they could... up. The link between tribulation and revelation is so powerful because it tells us that on our darkest day God is up to something; and when we walk through trials here on Earth, the power of our praise is that it lifts our eyes in the same direction...up.

Pastor Ben Stuart // In a day and age where there seems to be rapid growth in hostility between people groups, God is calling us back into the family. — This week Pastor Ben Stuart encourages us in a message about unity. In a breakdown of Ephesians Chapter 2, we find that the grounds for unity is humility, and the goal of unity is Glory. When we love each other with a contributing spirit instead of a critical one, Jesus gets the glory! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pastor Ben Stuart // “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:8-10 — New identities bring new activities. When we accept the gift of grace and are raised with Christ, our lives begin to take on new activities. It is not because of our actions we are saved. Rather, it is because we are saved that our lives begin to look different! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pastor Louie Giglio // Written with the single purpose to display the supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus, the book of Colossians answers the two questions every person asks: 

Who am I?
 Why am I here? This week, Pastor Louie Giglio takes us through the book of Colossians to find the answers to these questions; the answers to which determine the direction and quality of all of our lives.

Pastor Ben Stuart // The best change is not a change in circumstances but a change in perspective. — In week two of our Worthy series, Pastor Ben Stuart walks us through the second half of Ephesians 1. Here, Paul prays for the Church in Ephesus with a notable approach. Paul doesn’t ask God to do something new for His people. Instead, he asks that our eyes be opened to the beauty of who God is and what he’s done for us. — The more we know who God is, the more we know who we are. There is purpose, peace, and confidence in those who know Him. From there, true life change begins. Do you know what you have? Do you know who you are? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pastor Louie Giglio // Pentecost. One of the most significant days in the history of the Church, and yet most of us don't stop to contemplate what took place on that day, and what it means for us today. — The power of the Holy Spirit. That's what was given to us on Pentecost. The power to carry out the calling on our lives to spread the name and fame of Jesus. If we aren't aware of it we can spend our whole lives striving to accomplish this goal through our own power, but instead, we are called to say, "even though I could do it in my strength, I will wait for power from on high."     Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pastor Ben Stuart // Partakers become proclaimers. When we taste and see that The Lord is good, the most natural thing to do is celebrate Him! — To kick off our new series, Worthy, Pastor Ben Stuart walks us through the spiritual blessings we’ve been given in Christ (Ephesians 1). These gifts are offered freely to us. All we have to do is say yes! — As we begin to understand the gifts we have in Christ, our most natural response will be to worship Him! We are made to worship the things that have value and God is the most valuable thing. He is worthy! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pastor Louie Giglio // "Do not gloat over me my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:8 — God has a message for you today. By faith, even a tiny bit of faith in Jesus, you are going to rise. No matter how hard or far you have fallen, you are going to rise.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pastor Ben Stuart // Because the world of information can be tapped into at any moment, it has invaded every moment. — What do we run to when we’re in pain? What do we do when we’re uncomfortable? The truth is, many of us tend to look for ways to distract ourselves from what’s really going on within us, usually through technology. — This week Pastor Ben Stuart challenges us to turn away from diversions and toward intimacy with Jesus. What if we sat with our Creator in moments of discomfort rather than numbing our pain with distraction? If we stopped to listen, we might find that God is trying to speak to us.

Pastor Louie Giglio // "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows." Psalm 23:5 — Jesus has prepared a place for you and Him to be in a relationship. A place where you can come to Him and receive the truth of who He says you are. The trouble is that too often there is a third party at our table. The enemy is constantly prowling around waiting for an opening, an invitation from us to pull up a seat and steal, kill, and destroy us. — Here's the good news. Even though the enemy longs to sit at your table, our Good Shepherd has laid down His life to be the only one with a right to sit with us. We are so prized and valued by Jesus that He paid everything to be with us, and we have to make sure that we don't extend that same honor to the Enemy. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
