At The Movies Week 1

God, Just Tell Me

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” ‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭ESV‬‬‬‬

3 Steps to Fulfill God’s Calling
1. Face your fears.
•The pathway to your greatest potential is often straight through your greatest fear.
•Your failure is not final.

2. Heal from your past.

3. Trust God and move forward.

3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. 4 In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭56‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Book Club pt. 2

Winning The Battle Against Your Enemy

Your Story Has a Villain Every story has a hero and a villain-including yours. This week in Book Club, Jonathan “JP” Pokluda is bringing a message about how to
rely on God when things get hard and trust in His victory.

“… greater is He who is in [us] than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4

“And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no weekend war that we’ll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭MSG‬‬

Weapons of Warfare and How To Use Them.
1. Walking in Truth
2. Acting in Righteousness
3. Ready With the Gospel
4. Firm in Faith
5. Aware of Your Salvation
6. Responding With the Word
7. Engaged in Prayer

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!

In reflection on what today means and represents, beyond the parades, BBQ’s, and fireworks there should be in the words of John Adams “solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty”.

John Adams on how we should remember Independence Day. “I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more. You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. — I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. — Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction.”

Be resolute this Independence Day.

May the Lord bless you with courage, conviction, and humility as you celebrate freedom — not just as a right to enjoy, but as a responsibility to steward. Stand firm in faith, lead with integrity, and use your freedom to serve others in love. Free from tyranny, and fully surrendered to the King of kings.

Happy 4th of July!

“For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.”
Galatians 5:13 ESV

Love Series Part 5 : When Love Doesn’t Fix The Pain

Love Stories Pt.5

When Love Doesn’t Fix The Pain

In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly. 11 And she made a vow, saying, “Lord Almighty, if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head.”
‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭1‬:‭10‬-‭11

4 Lessons From Their Love Story
1. Even families that love God still experience pain, problems, and pressure.
2. Sometimes your spouse doesn’t need a solution—they just need your presence.
3. Godly couples don’t avoid the pain; they invite God into it.
4. Prayer may or may not change your circumstances, but prayer always changes you.

How Do You Pray Together?
1. Keep it simple
2. Keep it short
3. If you miss one day, don’t miss two.
