Are you feeling spiritually dull, lacking sharpness in your life? Pastor Mike draws from the tale of the young versus the older lumberjack to illustrate the significance of a sharpened ax. This message serves as a reminder: it's time to get your edge back! The pathway to staying sharp this year lies in the practice of prayer and fasting. This sermon delves into techniques for regaining your edge: embracing food exit, engaging with the Father, forfeiting entertainment, and directing our focus toward the eternal. Welcome to your best year yet!Scripture References:Ecclesiastes 10:10 NLT2 Kings 6:1-7 NLT

Merry Christmas, TC Nation! This week, we wrap up our series-within-a-series, End In Triumph, with Pastor Mike, who invites us to revisit the story of Christmas with a new lens that God is with us even in our mess. Pastor Mike teaches us three key things from the Christmas story: Triumph is usually wrapped in trauma, favor can be wrapped in foolishness, and promises can be wrapped in pain. Christmas is the beginning of evidence that Christ is willing to do anything to get us back. If you need an encouraging word this Christmas, this message is for you!

The way you end a thing is the way you start a thing. This year we are going to END in TRIUMPH! In this mini-series of the DBND Sermon Series, Pastor Mike gives us a faith boost to believe in the SUDDENLY. Oftentimes when we hear “suddenly”, we think “quickly” but what if your “suddenly” is connected to something slow? Pastor Mike walks us through biblical examples that remind us that the suddenly often comes with a season of steady. Perhaps the blessing that God wants to manifest in your life will come as a result of a subtle shift. We pray this message shows you how to stay steady to prepare you for what’s to come!Scripture References:Isaiah 43:15-20 NLTRomans 8:28 NLTAmos 9:13-15 MSG

In Week 9 of the Damaged but Not Destroyed series, we revisit session 5 of VIIID conference, where Tye Tribett takes a Master class approach on bondage, warning us to be cautious of what we take in during moments of vulnerability, for during these times the enemy will use deception as a tactic toward your desires. Prayer is essential to become acquainted with the right voice to guide you in helpless times. Are there moods, spirits, and ideas you've accepted that God needs to check? We encourage you to bring them before God, not by your might or your power, but by God's Spirit in which deliverance comes.Scripture References;Romans 8:3 KJVRomans 7:5 NIVHebrews 4:12 KJV2 Corinthians 10:5 KJV

Oftentimes we expect damage to come from our own unfortunate experiences, decisions we’ve made, or situations that harmed us. However, sometimes our damage can come from the backside of a blessing. In Week 8 of the Damaged but Not Destroyed series, Dr. Dharius Daniel masterfully expounds upon the story of Jonah. While Jonah was blessed to be a Prophet, trusted to carry God’s messages, he found himself running from an assignment. He got himself into a problem that only God could get him out of. In God’s grace, He used Jonah’s mistake as transportation into his future. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a problem or been in a space of intentional disobedience, we pray this message guides you toward God’s redemption!Scripture References:Jonah 4:1-3 NIVJonah 3:1 NIV

What does the Bible say about counseling? In Week 7 of the Damaged but Not Destroyed, Pastor Mike sat down with part of his community counsel to help us remove the scare from counseling and remind us that it is SAFE. This dynamic panel walked us through the scriptures, taught us about the different types of counsel, and shared their experience with licensed therapy. Counseling is not just to get rid of trauma but it allows you to uncover your God-given treasure. Pastor Mike leaves us with a call to action to attend at least 3 counseling sessions by the end of April 2024. Will you accept the challenge to go from trauma to triumph?Scripture References:Proverbs 12:15 ESVProverbs 15:22 ESVJames 5:16 ESVProverbs 11:14 ESVIsaiah 45:3 NLTJohn 16:7 AMP

In Week 6 of the Damaged but Not Destroyed Series, Pastor Mike highlights the pivotal role that our patterns play in shaping our future. He guides us in identifying the destructive sin cycles or patterns that often lead to a product inconsistent with God's promises. However, we are reminded that God has given us the power to transform these patterns.As Jacob wrestled with God, we know that confronting these patterns might require a struggle. Yet, this wrestling can ultimately lead to experiencing God's blessings and change the trajectory of our future. The message encourages us to acknowledge the patterns in our lives, encouraging us to align with God's unchanging patterns, which always yield a great reward.Scripture References:James 1:12-15 NLTPhilippians 2:13 NLTGenesis 32:22-32 NLTRomans 12:2 NIV

What happens when men mend? We all win. Pastor Mike shared a powerful word TO men and for everyone who has ever been impacted by a man or their absence. In a generation that would rather replace than repair, this message calls men to mend 3 relationships: his relationship with God, his relationship with others and his role in helping others mend their relationship with God. This message is a call to humble ourselves, acknowledge God, and operate in meekness. This is a message that every man needs to hear.Scripture References:Mark 1:14-20 NKJVEphesians 2:1-9 NIVPsalm 139:13-14 NIVEphesians 4:25-27 NLTGalatians 6:1 NIV2 Chronicles 7:14 KJVJames 4:10 NLTProverbs 3:5-6 NASB
