Exploits of Faith is a sermon from guest speaker Pastor Mike Popenhagen from Radiant Church Jackson. Pastor Mike breaks down the three truth's about faith while encouraging us to surrender to the Lord and see the potential in the little things. Focus Scripture // Matthew 17:19-20 (ESV) "Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?" 20 He said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you." Sermon Highlights Our dreams get hijacked. We were created for significance. Faith sees potential in small things. What is it that you may see as insignificant, but God sees as full of potential? Don't despise the small things in your life. Faith believes the impossible is possible. Faith produces unintended outcomes. If you can believe that God will do the impossible, He'll do it.

Check out this new sermon from Corey Russell at our Seek service! Sermon Highlights When you see Him, you're going to long for Him. The Holy Spirit and the church are going to come into line with one another. An unbelieving world will believe. Shame-based religion will break off the church. God is going to use great PRESENCE and PRESSURE that will produce great PRAYER. God wants to take us on a guided tour of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit wants more of your attention. The anointing of the spirit of prayer is falling on the church. When in the Word, take phrases that jump off the page and whisper them back to Him. The Holy Spirit gets stirred when we read the Word.

Check out this new sermon from Pastor David Perkins called Worthy Of It All from Seek! Sermon Highlights What does it look like to give Jesus your all in this season? Go before the Father like a child. When you encounter Jesus, it doesn't give you an excuse to back off - it's your license for you to surrender it all to Him. What would it look like if you came before the Lord and gave it all to Him? You are invited to MORE. There's gonna be a moment where you're be faced with a choice. I don't follow Jesus to get the good life - I follow Jesus to get Jesus. If you give it all, you'll never regret giving it all. You get new life when you go to the Father.

Focus Scriptures Genesis 22:1-19 (ESV) “After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” 2 He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” 3 So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac. And he cut the wood for the burnt offering and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. 4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar. 5 Then Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; I and the boy[a] will go over there and worship and come again to you.” 6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son.
