Send us a textThere is nothing mediocre about Jesus Christ. Looking at Revelation 3:16, we learn that Jesus can't stand a lukewarm follower. What are the 3 signs of a lukewarm follower and how do we get back to being lit up for Christ? Until we acknowledge the one true God and stop trying to play god ourselves, we will never grow and mature to be hot followers of Christ. Even Jesus said it is far better to be cold than to be half-hearted when it comes to Jesus! Take a listen, join us as we discuss what this thing looks like and let's get back to the basics of loving Jesus more than self!! Be encouraged!

Send us a textThe Israelites longed for a God to lead them into their Promised Land, but when they grew impatient waiting on Moses to come down from his conversation with God, they took matters into their own hands. Burning gold, forming a golden calve, and bowing down and worshipping this was foolish at best, yet each one of us can find golden calves in our own lives that we need to shatter. It's time to return and repent to the one and only true God who never fails us!

Send us a textWe often waster our lives with peasant wanderings when we were created for Kingdom dwelling. God created us for so much more, but we often lose sight of that because we give up in our wilderness seasons. What if the wilderness path was intentional on God's part because He knew if you went the quick, fast way...you'd lose heart? Our lives mirror that of the Israelites, but there is hope even in the midst of a wilderness season but God is in the midst of it all.

Send us a textWhat exactly did Jesus mean when He told us to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him? What does it look like to be all in for Jesus? And why did Peter jump out of the boat to swim to shore when the boat was only 100 yards from shore?

Send us a textWe take a closer look at Matthew 16:24-25 and ask ourselves what it means to turn from our selfish ways, take up our cross and follow Christ.

Send us a textHere we talk about what it means to walk this out, how do we deny ourselves, take up our cross, lose our lives for Christ and yet go back home from camp where life is sometimes hard?

Send us a textEsau exchanged what he most wanted for the temporary pleasure of here and now. Selling his birthright in exchange for a mere bowl of bean soup, he settled for less. How often, as children of God, do we do the same? God is trying to give us His Kingdom, but we settle all the time for the temporary pleasure of here and now.

Send us a textSelf or surrender? What does it mean to follow Christ? What does it mean to deny self and pick up our cross?

Send us a textI was asked to give the commencement speech at a graduation this past weekend, and asked myself what's the one thing I'd want them to remember? Have you ever felt like the underdog? The one who can't seem to win or gain any ground? We all have, especially Cliff Young. A remarkably true story about how to keep running, even when life would try to persuade us to quit!

Send us a textDiscouraged? Tired? Ready to quit? Jesus tells us to fix our eyes on Him so that we will not grow weary and lose heart, you were created to run this race with Jesus and win...don't quit! You've got this!

Send us a textTaking an in-depth look at sin; what it is, what it does, and how to deal with it. It's time to wage war against the sin in our lives, Jesus paid too high of a price for us to play around with the evil in our lives.

Send us a textEvery day our lives are engulfed in war, a clash between darkness and light, good and evil. Here we take a look at some battles of the Bible and are reminded that the battle does belong to the Lord, we must fight it His way, and we are guaranteed victory every single time we choose to trust Jesus and follow His plan instead of our own!

Send us a textIn a culture that uploads 17 million selfies a week to social media, we're consumed with ourselves. And the moments we're not, we've filled up with things and people and relationships that promise something more than they can give. It's time to rediscover what love it, Christ hung high and stretched wide on the cross because He is enough, He is always enough. At the conclusion of this message, 20+ high schoolers gave their lives to the Lord, while countless others confessed and repeneted, laying sins and dark secrets and lust and hate and unforgiveness and drinking at the cross. What a beautiful thing that God has done in our midst, nothing but Christ and His love will ever satisfy us.

Send us a textI was invited back to the university I attended to speak about the process of reconciliation, specifically looking at the life of Saul. This was truly an honor and a dream to come true, to go back to where it all began and share my testimony and encourage others that yes, God uses broken people all the time!
