Who is Leading You?
Have you ever had a gut feeling that made you pause and go a different way? That little voice—it’s not just your intuition. Pastor David reminds us that the Spirit of God speaks to us from the inside out, giving us correction and direction. Are you listening?
The Holy Spirit leads by prompting, not pressure.
You can’t live a victorious life following your feelings.
The Spirit knows stuff your head doesn’t know.
You’re just one prompting away from your miracle!

Why Do I Have So Many Problems?
Do you ever feel overwhelmed with responsibilities? Beware, the enemy will try to mask your blessings as a burden. Pastor Nicole warns us NOT to curse our load because we’re walking in overflow, not lack. We don’t need a problem-free life.
We just need a prayer-filled life!
Jesus never wastes a problem. Invite Him into your mess.
Sometimes His instruction makes no natural sense.
God doesn’t need our success. He needs our surrender.
What’s on the other side of your resistance?

You Future Starts With This
Does your life look good on the outside, but feel like you’re rotting on the inside? Pastor David explains the importance of making good decisions based on your vision and values. Pre-decide how you’ll react before you get into a high-pressure situation.
- Draw a line in the sand.
- Stay laser-focused.
- If you don’t pray, you’ll stray.
- A happy life is a decision you make for yourself.

From Rust To Redemption
Baptism is the beginning of something NEW! It’s the outward sign of an inward transformation. Pastor Austin reminds us that we were made for more than fear, failure, or shame. Don’t stay “rusted” while God is offering complete restoration.
God sees value in what other people overlook.
Bury the old so the new can rise.
Restoration requires surrender.
You were made for a purpose.
