To introduce the series, Pastor Lee teaches from Isaiah 60 and talks about our duty to arise and shine to a lost and broken generation. Focus Scripture // Isaiah 60:1-7 (NKJV) “Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. 2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. 3 The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising. 4 "Lift up your eyes all around, and see: They all gather together, they come to you; Your sons shall come from afar, And your daughters shall be nursed at your side. 5 Then you shall see and become radiant, And your heart shall swell with joy; Because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you. 6 The multitude of camels sha

Our words carry far more than we often realize. Don’t miss this special sermon from Pastor Jon Zondervan as he teaches on the choice we have to speak life or death with our words. Focus Scripture // Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue
 and those who love it will eat its fruits.” (ESV)
 “Words kill, words give life;
they’re either poison or fruit—you choose.” (MSG) Sermon Highlights Your tongue is powerful Your tongue is dangerous How do we choose life? 1. Cut out complaining 2. Speak God’s truth over every situation 3. Refuse to retaliate 4. Ask God to change your heart

The prescription Jesus gives us is to stay awake at all times and pray. You get all the strength you need by praying. If you view the world through the lens of flesh, you’ll get all messed up. If you view it through the lens of the spirit, you will have victory. God has given you spiritual night-vision. Stay in step with the Holy Spirit. Refuse to give up a single inch to the enemy. Prevailing Prayer must be: 1. Intimate 2. Persistent 3. Militant You’re so close to a miracle. Don’t lose heart. Pray until it happens. Angels move at the weakest of our prayers.

Don’t believe in statistics - believe in Jesus. David remained loyal in times of trouble. He was a man of covenant. If you don’t have joy, run to where it is. There is life and joy in the presence of God The three enemies of Joy: • Fear • Anxiety • Worry He will restore your joy and your peace Rejoice until your want to wants to It’s a choice to rejoice Hope + Piece = Joy You turned my wailing into dancing. God is doing something remarkable in this Selah moment.

Fasting reminds us that our world is not our home. In this series that coincides with our 21 days of prayer and fasting, we dive deep into the Mark 13 scripture that says take heed, watch and pray. In Part Three titled Watch, Pastor Caleb Culver speaks on the importance of being a watchman and not becoming too comfortable and falling asleep. Focus Scripture // MARK 13:32-37 (NKJV) “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. 34 It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. 35 Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning— 36 lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”

Join us for this special Seek sermon from Billy Humphrey where he teaches us to get low and dwell with the Father. Focus Scriptures Isaiah 57:15 2 Chronicles 7:14 Matthew 11:28-30 Sermon Highlights You’re not hiding from us, you’re hiding for us. As we seek you, we will find you. Jesus is directing the course. He is madly in love with us. We want to get low and dwell with the Father. We are going to see a third great awakening in America. We have to humble ourselves. And if we think we’re already humble, we need to humble ourselves some more. God wants to set you free. Nothing that is happening in the world right now is like Jesus. There needs to be a transforming internally to humble ourselves. In God’s kingdom the first shall be last the last shall be first and the lowest will have the most authority. The only news you can believe right now is the good news. We get low before You.

Fasting reminds us that our world is not our home. In this series that coincides with our 21 days of prayer and fasting, we dive deep into the Mark 13 scripture that says take heed, watch and pray. In Part Two titled Keeping Yourself Free, Pastor Lee Cummings speaks on deception how we can defend the attacks of the enemy. Focus Scripture // GALATIANS 5:1 (ESV) 
 “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” Sermon Highlights Deception is one of the most diabolical tactics from the enemy. Let the Holy Spirit examine you. Take Heed to yourself. The Holy Spirit wrote through men, but He is the ultimate author. Deception happens slowly. Do we spend as much time examining our soul as we do our appearance? There is a mass demonic spirit of deception sweeping through our nation. If he can deceive you, he can keep you from living out your purpose. Your purpose is to know Jesus and make Him known. We need to realize that we are human and that we n

Focus Scripture // Acts 16:25-34 (ESV) “About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, 26 and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were unfastened. 27 When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here." 29 And the jailer called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas. 30 Then he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" 31 And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." 32 And

In Part One titled The Circadian Rhythm of the Kingdom, Pastor Lee Cummings kicks off the series by discussing the antidote to spiritual slumber. Focus Scripture // Mark 13:32-37 (ESV) 
 “But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come. 34 It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. 35 Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning— 36 lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. 37 And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.” Sermon Highlights Wakefulne

Every promise that God has given us are yes and amen!

Focus Scripture // Luke 1:39-56 (ESV) “In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, 40 and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, 42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”

Join us for the kickoff of our Mary’s Miracle series from Pastor Lee Cummings as we unpack the Christmas story from the perspective of Jesus’ mother, Mary.⠀ Focus Scripture // Luke 1:26-38 (ESV) “In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was
Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.

Jesus wins, and because of that, we win! In this stand-alone sermon from Pastor Tim Matthews, we dive into how Jesus defeated the enemy and how we can remember all He did for us during this Christmas season. Focus Scripture // Matthew 1:18 (ESV) “Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.” Sermon Highlights Christmas is about love, joy, and peace. 
He came from heaven and His children should have joy knowing that He, Jesus, will destroy the devil’s works, crush Satan under our feet and have peace knowing that the day is coming when the devil, death, and hades will be thrown into the lake of fire. 
Christmas is a missional moment. 
Let’s remind ourselves of how God accomplished this mission for our good and His glory. If you ever wonder or question if God is still in control when confronted with the evil of this world, remember Jesus wins. The devil did not the co

God is shaking us up so that He can send us out – but it all starts with us resetting our hearts. Press in to Part Two of this brand new sermon from Pastor Lee Cummings about the reset that must take place as we seek after the Lord. Focus Scripture // Hosea 10:12-13 (ESV) “Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the LORD, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you. You have plowed iniquity; you have reaped injustice; you have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your own way” Sermon Highlights We determine who presses the “reset” on our lives. It’s time to seek the Lord. God is calling the Church to evaluate and ready ourselves for a “Divine Reset” We need a reset from doing things our way. Sowing the seed today will not reap a harvest today. You won’t see the results from what you reap until a long while from now. There is no expiration date on the Word of God. We were saved by an imperishable seed. We’ve becom

Focus Scripture // Acts 11:19-26 (ESV) “Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews. 20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists also, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number who believed turned to the Lord. 22 The report of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. 23 When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose, 24 for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith.
