This is an excerpt from: Reputation Rehab I'm concerned that a lot of times we are convinced that our trouble is an indication of the absence of God's presence. When more times than not in the scripture, you can find that trouble accompanies God's [...]

This is an excerpt from: Keep It 100. You keep trying to build on the wrong foundation. "O God, I'm fearful. O God, I'm anxious. O God, I'm depressed. O God, I messed up. O God, I'm not that smart. O God, I'm not prepared. O God, I'm not [...]

Sometimes you can tell how significant your calling is by how much the Enemy is intimidated by you, and you can tell how much he's intimidated by you by how much he's talking to you. God said, "I've tried to talk to you through an angel. That [...]

Holly said to tell you about my hype track, but it's not a hype track; it's a hope track. I'm actually going to use it to get into my sermon today. I used to do these videos at the beginning of every year. I did it for a few years. It was designed [...]

This is an excerpt from: When The Battle Chooses You When it's God's possession, it's God's problem. I don't want to cry telling you this, if it hits your heart, then if it's God's possession, it's God's problem and then you realize that you are [...]

We have a choice to make today. Boom! Corrupted; created. Old self; new self. Deceitful desires; divinity within. What choice am I making today? The beauty of it is which one of me… You know when you find yourself struggling and going, "All [...]

This is an excerpt from: The God Of Again Immaturity is doing something once in awhile and wondering why it didn't work. If God is the God of again, what makes you think you're going to quote one Scripture and the Devil is going to run off of [...]

We have been in a flow in the church, and God has been speaking to us the last few weeks. Well, he has been speaking to me. I learned a long time ago to stay in the flow with the Holy Spirit as long as he would, so I'm going to stay in the same flow [...]

God, we receive you in this place, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, exalted and lifted high, ever-present, always faithful. Anything you want to do today, Lord…whoever you want to heal, whoever you want to set free, whoever you want to change…do it [...]

The enemy loves to keep us stuck in a space where we are frozen in what we don't know. Hmm. You feel me? Frozen in what? We don't know. Because then if we're frozen, writing it down in what we don't know, we don't go forward. We don't go forward and [...]

This is an excerpt from: Cover The Spread I feel like there are some people who are listening to me preach today, and you are carrying a letter of your own that was sent by an enemy into church today. I can't see it, and it's not on papyrus, but [...]

This is an excerpt from: Kingdom Clout If we will get honest about it, when he said, "What do you want"? we really all want the same things. There are only two things we really want. There are a lot of ways we try to get them. Some try [...]

When we were out on Elevation Nights this week, every night I wanted to preach off that song "Same God" and really share something from that. The Lord kind of spoke to me on the last night and said, "Do it when you get home". I'm [...]

You know, we like to think that God is going to give us a good feeling and then we can obey Him. We like to think that God is going to show us on paper how everything's going to work out and then we can trust Him. We like to think sometimes that God [...]

This is an excerpt from: He's Still The Shepherd Being in Christ doesn't exempt you from any of the normal challenges of life. We have to stop telling people, "Jesus will make it all right," because what they assume when they hear that is [...]

This is an excerpt from: God's Got Your Back - Part 1 "Why didn't you say something sooner? Why didn't you call me over here after four days? I would have been happy to help you if you had said something sooner". Or I'll tell Holly, [...]

Holly already announced everything, so I don't have to do it. I can just get straight to the Word. I preached a message last week called Challenge the Shadow. That message was about how we don't just accept the natural pattern of things because we [...]

This is an excerpt from: The Mystery Of Potential I realized the potential of what is in someone can only really manifest when it has time to mature. When we walk around like, "Oh, I don't like that. I'm going over here to a new church. I [...]

All right, I want to do something today a little different than I normally do. I'll give you my title and my subject, and then I'm going to sit you down and tell you a story from the Bible that I don't think you've ever heard before. It's what I [...]
