The warrior fights only through peace, but the warrior is not ready for battle until they’ve come to know peace. This past Sunday, guest Pastor Erwin McManus shared a powerful message on The Way of the Warrior. Jesus comes to speak peace into your soul, to fight the battle only He can win, to give you the peace you’ve always longed for.
Our purpose in life is to glorify God. Purpose is released in our life when we understand that God knows the end and has a purpose right here in the middle. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached on going deeper in our purpose in Christ. Purpose flows out of knowing our value to the Father. When we set our love to God, our purpose becomes clear.
Your life is meant to look like Christ. As He is, so are we. When we are secure in Him, we can serve and do things no one else sees, because we already know who we are. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached on going deeper in our identity in Christ. Identity is one of the most important things in our walk with God. If we loose sight of who we are, our lives get confusing. But when we know who we are in Christ, it changes how we live, speak and treat others.
This ALLIN Team Night, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached a powerful message to us as team on surrender. God is calling all of us to take a deeper surrender so He can take us deeper in the impossible. For it is God who works in us, both to will and to do for His good pleasure. The same Holy Spirit that changes our will and desire to please God is the Spirit that gives us the power to actually do what He wills in us.
The promise of Jesus and what He wants in your life is joy. His joy is unending and when we stay connected to Him and abide in Him we receive everything He has for us. This past Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached on John 15 and the power of abiding to the vine of Christ. When we are connected to the vine, the world around us sees Jesus.
