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.

The Breaking Point // Damaged But Not Destroyed (Part 8) // Dr. Dharius Daniels

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!

Oftentimes on the flipside of being first, there comes pain like being rejected, misunderstood and forming new habits. When we choose to embrace our assignment, recognize the pains that have hindered us, God will heal us and allow us to take our rightful place as FIRST.

Worship Saved My Life // Worship On The Word (Part 6) // Travis Greene

Worship is more than a practice; it's a weapon. This week Pastor Travis Greene helps us dive into the crucial role of worship and how a life dedicated to it shapes our character as part of our Worship On The Word series.Based on Psalms 34:1-8 and 1 Samuel 21:9-15, Pastor Travis emphasizes the importance of choosing the right sources of nourishment, physically and spiritually, as these determine the weapons we wield in life's battles. It reminds us that the truest affirmation of God?s trust in us comes from opposition, not opportunity, and our anointing is evident not in our skills, but in our scars. We pray this message helps you to be a "decided worshipper" steadfast in faith, regardless of your circumstances.

I?m Going Under: Covered By The Most High // Worship On The Word (Part 5) // Michael Todd

We all have access to the covering of the Most High God but we must accept being covered. Our protection comes from proximity to God. We need more than a scripture every Sunday or listening to our favorite Christian artist when times get hard. Pastor Mike teaches us that there is shelter under the Most High God. When we create a dedicated space to run to him, we will find safety and everything we need. We pray that after listening to this message you find a place to dwell with Him!

The Mystery Of A Miracle // Worship On The Word (Part 4) // Michael Todd

Have you ever been in a place of believing God for a miracle? Miracles do not have a formula, they simply require faith! In order to have faith, we must have hope. Because miracles start with hope, the enemy tries his best to discourage us in that area. We pray that this message builds your hope to fuel expectation and anticipation to have the mindset of a miracle.

I Will Do It [Here] // Worship On The Word (Part 3) // Michael Todd

This week, Pastor Mike presents a stirring message: "I WILL DO IT [HERE]" as part of our ongoing Worship on the Word series. Challenging the notion that worship is a remote act, he encourages us to recognize that our present moment, our [here] is Holy. We learn that obedience to God isn't conditional on our feelings; it's an unequivocal commitment to His will.

This sermon dissects the battle of the three wills?My Will, I Will, and His Will. He explains that our worship is expressed in our obedience and faithful walk towards God's purpose, even when we can't foresee the outcome. Furthermore, he challenges us to align our service with our worship, emphasizing that our acts of service must extend beyond our immediate circles. Join us in this transformative journey, as we learn to say "I WILL DO IT [HERE]," activating God's will in our lives.

I Will When I Don?t Want To // Worship On The Word (Part 2) // Michael Todd

Can you worship God if your circumstances are not ideal? Many times we say ?I won?t? if our job is stressful, our relationships aren?t how we want them to be, we are offended, or when we don?t understand what God is doing. It takes faith to believe in our situation or our God. In this message, Pastor Mike teaches us how to say, ?I will when I don?t want to.? Worship is our Love EXPRESSED to God as a response to His grace towards us. We pray this message helps give you encouragement to bless the Lord at ALL times.

How To Worship With A Hole In Your Heart: Worship Starts With Love // Worship On The Word (Part 1) // Michael Todd

Worship is our love expressed to God as a response to His grace towards us. In the first week of our Worship on the Word series, Pastor Mike helps us understand that worship is more than a slow song; it?s about our hearts and how we live our life. As we worship, we may recognize that there are some holes in our hearts that have caused us to leak out the love that God has given us. Yet in His presence, He gives us a new heart so that we can operate out of the overflow of His love. This message helps us to understand why we worship, how it starts with love, and why we can run to worship in our vulnerability.

Feel The Burn // KingNUMB (Part 4) // Brie Davis

In Week 4 of the KingNUMB series, Pastor Brie shared a powerful message that caused us to examine our hearts. If you?ve ever felt disconnected from the presence of God, this message is for you! Sometimes the effect of our busyness, schedules, plans, grief, and loss can get in the way of being present with God?s presence. In this message, we take time to meditate on our blessings, brokenness, and what we have to give. We believe you will have the opportunity to ignite your faith and feel God burn within you again.

Numb One // KingNUMB (Part 3) // Tim Ross

Pastor Tim Ross walks us through the story of the prodigal son. Sometimes being numb to your current reality can cause you to make decisions that are outside of God?s will. While the youngest son was outside of his father?s presence, he squandered his money and found himself working amongst pigs. Sin always takes you farther than you planned. In the midst of being in the pig stye, the youngest son came to his senses. In repentance, he ran back to his father?s house and was greeted with a party only to be met by a brother who was numb himself. What this message teaches us is that there can be 2 extremes of being numb - for some of us, we have sinned and can come back to our senses, for others we have to be careful to not allow our outward ?perfection? to make us numb to our inward imperfections.

Luke 15:11 - 32 NLT

You Thought You Were Feeling Me??? // KingNUMB (Part 2) // Tim Ross

There are times in our walk with God when we can become numb and we lose the sensation and sensitivity of God in our hearts. There?s nothing good that comes from numbness; outside culture can influence your inside character, it?s hard to discern good from bad, and compromise can happen when you lose feeling.
Once we remove the noise and the gods we may have created, we will see that God has been speaking the entire time. Through the power of God and this message, we pray Holy Spirit highlights the areas of numbness and brings back your sensitivity.

He Set It Straight // KingNUMB (Part 1) // Jerry Flowers

Pastor Jerry Flowers kicked off the KingNUMB series with a message titled, ?He Set it Straight?. We delved into the story of the woman with an infirmity for 18 years in Luke 13:10-17. Like the woman, the enemy wants us to keep looking down on our troubles and dirt so that we become numb to the power of the Gospel. As we continue to bring ourselves to Church and the community of Christ, Jesus sees us, calls us and looses us. Our worship, prayer and devotion set things straight in our life and our legacy.

QUALIFIED TO MULTIPLY // EASY MONEY (PART 4) // TIM ROSS

It?s week 4 of Easy Money, and we have our oversight pastor Tim Ross sharing a powerful word with us! In today?s message, Pastor Tim shows us what it means to be a multiplier in the Kingdom. We aren?t called to get money so we can hold onto it & hoard it for ourselves. We are called to get money so we can give it away. When we realize that God is trusting us to be a blessing to others, we can easily give away whatever He asks of us. We realize it?s not our own, and when we can give away what He has trusted us with, He multiplies it.
