I Am Blessed | Pastor Josh Morgan

God's blessings are constant in our lives, even during challenging times. Through salvation, redemption, and His unfailing love, we experience divine favor regardless of circumstances. While healing and answered prayers demonstrate His power, His grace remains sufficient even when storms persist. Understanding these blessings requires focusing on God's faithfulness rather than temporary situations, recognizing that we are blessed simply because we belong to Him.

Don't Spill The Wine [pt. 2] "I Will Do A New Thing" | Pastor Josh Morgan

God's fresh work in our lives often requires us to release old methods and traditions that no longer serve His current purposes. Many resist spiritual change due to comfort in familiarity and fear of letting go. Like new wine requiring new wineskins, God's fresh moves need flexible, open vessels to contain them. Being truly receptive to God's work means staying adaptable to His Spirit's leading and focusing on His present activity rather than past methods.

Don't Spill The Wine | Pastor Josh Morgan

The metaphor of new wine represents God's Spirit and presence being poured out in fresh ways. Just as new wine requires new wineskins to prevent spillage, believers must be renewed and prepared to receive fresh moves of God. Old religious systems and mindsets cannot contain new spiritual realities. This divine wine brings healing, deliverance, freedom, and the Spirit's power, but we must actively steward these gifts and avoid settling for mediocre faith experiences.

Increasing My Commitment | Pastor Josh Morgan

Deepening our relationship with God requires intentional commitment and dedication in multiple areas of life. Understanding the four types of commitment levels - cop-outs, holdouts, dropouts, and all-outs - helps us identify where we stand in our spiritual journey. By focusing on ten key areas including church attendance, prayer, Bible reading, and serving others, we can strengthen our faith. Making specific commitments and following through with accountability leads to spiritual growth and a closer walk with God.

My Level of Commitment | Pastor Josh Morgan

Spiritual growth requires intentional commitment in ten essential areas: attendance, prayer, Bible reading, giving, love, forgiveness, witnessing, gratitude, service, and faith. Each area represents a crucial aspect of our relationship with God and others, demanding dedicated focus and continuous development. By examining our current level of commitment in these areas, we can identify strengths and weaknesses, making specific plans for improvement. This comprehensive approach to spiritual growth emphasizes progress over perfection, encouraging practical steps toward deeper faith.

Character: It Shapes Your Story | Ps. Sheldon Nickerson

Character is central to our faith journey, shaping our actions and decisions. By examining biblical examples like Samson and Jesus, we learn the importance of making wise choices, practicing humility, and surrounding ourselves with positive influences. Engaging with Scripture and building godly relationships are essential for developing a Christ-like character. Reflect on your influences, study the Bible, and strive to embody Christ's humility and obedience in your daily life.
 

Flammable or Fireproof | Pastor Sara Morgan

This week's message explores the struggle between sin and redemption, drawing from Genesis 4 and Matthew 7. The story of Cain and Abel highlights the consequences of unchecked sin, while Matthew 7 emphasizes the need for spiritual vigilance. The Holy Spirit acts as a purifying force, helping us overcome the enemy's deceptions. Daily surrender to God and the use of spiritual weapons are key to living a life of abundance and purpose.

Incompatible Partnerships | Ap. Josh Morgan

Today's message emphasizes the importance of forming spiritually compatible relationships. Anchored in 2 Corinthians 6:14, it highlighted the dangers of being unequally yoked with unbelievers, which can lead to conflicts and hinder spiritual growth. The sermon also discussed how our associations shape our behavior and attitudes, urging us to surround ourselves with individuals who uplift and encourage our faith. Practical guidelines were provided for choosing the right partnerships, emphasizing shared values, mutual respect, and positive influence.
