Jesus predicted that in these days, there would be a great Falling Away... many will fall to Spiritual Deception - and not even know it. Humanism and worldliness are drawing people away from Christ. We must learn to remain united and continuously rooted in God's Word to avoid the trap of Deception in these Last Days!

Is anyone going to Heaven because of you?  When we gave our life to Christ, we became his messenger - And our mission on this earth: to share the Good News of Jesus!  

God has given every person in the Body of Christ a unique and special Divine enablement - a talent - and you must unwrap that gift and you must use that gift!

Jesus' Followers have vision - the type of vision that overcomes many obstacles, including obscurity, uncertainty and ever-present vision vandals. Join us as Pastor Ciociola teaches how to value your victories on the way to fulfilling vision!

Faith, Love and Obedience open the door to the receive and experience the power of the Holy Spirit. And Jesus taught us that with this power, we will act, receive help from the Holy Spirit, and He will give us a greater anointing for our current position in life. We don’t know what we have, until He is IN us!

Giving... it makes us like our Father, draws us closer to God, breaks the grip of materialism, strengthens our faith, tests our maturity... and that's just the beginning of the power of Giving. It IS the ultimate test of where our hearts are!

In God’s Kingdom, the more you serve, the greater you are. Pastor Ciociola teaches 12 powerful reasons we should give away our lives to serve God and others!

When it comes to the Lord’s renovating work in our lives, there are No Safe Spaces! He is the Foreman who has come to give our lives an Extreme Makeover, and every inch of our lives are His to examine, transform and expand. Join us at 9 & 11am this Sunday, as Pastor Michael discusses the integral foundation of God’s Truth and Justice, upon which our relationship with God is constructed.

When Hezekiah was facing a life & death crisis, he turned to God - and God added 15 years to his life. Likewise when everything is going wrong in our lives, we can turn to our faithful God and believe Him to turn everything around, restore and add!!

Every one of us has been ordained by God to fulfill a specific calling in His Church Body. As with natural bodies, God's Body is only healthy when it is growing - and growth requires change and connection!

Everyone sees who God is – Joshua & Israel see the faithful God who leads them to victory despite any obstacles. The river rocks – see a God who used them because of their eroded condition as a sign and memorial of His power. The Canaan rocks – see a God who will judge the land and turn it over to the authority of Christ and His people. Gilgal – sees a God so awesome that entire families will put His ways before their own comfort. Jericho and all Canaan see a God who is just, and whose justice does not sleep.

Everyone has a story. Everyone has ashes. Tragedy, hurt and loss happen to us all. And we can choose to sit and wallow in our ashes – or give them to Jesus and let Him turn them into something beautiful.

Abraham had a God-given purpose - and like him, that purpose will become clear through our personal relationship with Him. If we learn to hear His voice and are willing to embrace Divine denunciation of the present for the blessing of the future - like Paul, we will press on until we fulfill it!

It's not circumstances that determine our future - it's what happens inside of us. It's what we say, it's what we sow, it's how we treat others. These attitude indicators will determine the projection of every day and our lives!

The Declaration Signers pledged their Lives, Fortune and Sacred Honor - EVERYTHING - to fight for the freedom that we have today. Today we are challenged to do no less - to pledge our Lives (Time), Fortune (Money) and Sacred Honor (our names and reputations and speaking the Truth in Love)

It was a dark time in Israel's history: God's people's were given over to what they kept pursuing: the inevitable destruction that comes with idol worship. In this time of lawlessness, Jephthah was unfairly rejected by His family & people, branded as a leader of outcasts - that is, until they needed his help....

Joseph portrayed the wisdom, provision and protection of our Heavenly Father - which made young Joseph a "father" to Pharaoh. Fathers, you likewise will wield the world-changing impact of our Heavenly Father when you live under God's wisdom, providing for and protecting your family.

Nebuchadnezzar had it all - and then he lost it all. When we refuse to listen to God, He will sometimes allow us to be cut down. But like this heathen king, we can also find restoration when we learn to lift our eyes, humble ourselves and praise God!

When deep, old hurts are not dealt with, we become walking IED's - people with anger issues. Rejected people also isolate themselves behind self-made walls. Join us for a powerful message as we learn how to diffuse the IED's that only cause further damage and destruction.

Success in every area of life depends on attitude. And when we are going through a wilderness experience, our attitude in response determines how far we are going to go with God!
