    The intensity of God's power within us often attracts greater challenges. The higher the anointing, the fiercer the conflict. The brighter our destiny, the more severe our adversaries. However, through persistent prayer, we can overcome these afflictions.

    The Bible clearly states that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). One of these works is affliction. In this eye-opening message, we will explore the power of God to turn around our situations, deliver us from affliction, and empower us to overcome our enemies. Affliction may ...read more

    How many of you happened to be here a few weeks ago when I showed the State Farm commercial as the opening illustration?

    Many of you will be in two spiritual battles in your life – not all of you but some of you. We were born at war with God because we are born in sin. But when we lay down our arms at the cross of Jesus Christ in unconditional surrender, God declares peace with us.

    This morning I want to speak to you on this topic: Lifting the Curtain. One of my favorite coaches says this about any upcoming opponent that they play no matter the other team’s record, “It’s a five star match up because we’re in it.” Again, “It’s a five star match up because we’re in it.” The ...read more

The third step for attempting great things for God is to be consistently unified toward God 4. The fourth step for ...read more

    I recently became aware that some folks shop for a church much as you would shop for a car or a home appliance.
