When our hearts (soul and spirit) are wounded it hinders and corrupts our thoughts actions and motives. Oftentimes, what we describe as, “the way God made us”, is more accurately described as the way life has wounded us. But there is healing for our wounded hearts. God wants us to be made whole. God wants us to learn to live whole. Scripture(s): • …

Kevin Brown Sep 5, 2024, 6:30 PM (4 days ago) to Christopher, Deborah, Joy, Michael, Jill, Lee, me Introduction: We live from the heart. It’s the innermost part of our being. We may think with our minds and act from our physical bodies, but we live from the heart. When our hearts are whole, healthy and pure we think and act as powerfully as we were…

The need for comfort reflects a deep-seated desire that drives people to seek environments that offer safety and peace. Comfort provides a sense of stability and emotional solace which is crucial for coping with life’s challenges and stresses. How does the church create that environment?بقلم Pastor Omar Reyes

We all experience it at some point in our lives, the pain of loss. But how we manage it is critical to our faithfulness to God. Discover the Kingdom keys to fully embracing your grief while receiving grace to keep growing through it, so God can get the glory out of it.بقلم Elder Mike Dixon

Society says leadership is about ruling or lording over one’s subordinates. However, true leadership requires that a leader is a servant first. That is often exhausting, especially when one is leading stubborn and foolish individuals. Therefore, to radically love these individuals, leaders must intercede on their behalf, as Jesus interceded for us …

Loving each other well is part of the foundation of our rootedness in Radical Love. We cannot live radically through love without radically loving each other. The world will know our radical love through the radical love we show to one another. Jesus reminds us that the world will know what we show.بقلم Pastor Jeremy Robinson

There will be traumas, tragedies, and excruciating transitions in our lives that God allows and authors — to get us to the places He’s pre-ordained and to make us into the people He’s pre-ordained. There’s pain in the plan, but because God has determined to stand with us there is no force in the heavenlies, in the cosmos, in the earth or beneath th…

The Lord is our keeper. He keeps us in distinct ways. He keeps some things from us. He keeps and protects us in the midst of some things. He keeps some things set aside and reserved for us. But we’re not naturally given to being kept. Too often we believe the lie we must keep or are capable of keeping ourselves. Being kept is the art of abiding in …

We began our journey of answering God’s call together on July 10th, 2011. Our first service was held in the United Artists Movie Theater. We ended up with standing room only in the 153 person theater, with people standing in the hallways. We started, not with a moment but with a movement towards His mission and we continue together on that journey …

We tend to believe forgiveness is for the benefit of those who’ve offended us, but forgiveness is more about us than them. Forgiveness is the way out of victimhood. No matter what others do or have done to us our future remains unchanged, as long as we stay in God’s hands by forgiving them completely.…

It’s impossible to live a full life in this broken world without loving and trusting people. But it’s just as impossible to live loving and trusting people in this broken world without being betrayed. We’ve been betrayed by family, by friends, by bosses, by co-workers and others. Betrayal is a part of the human experience. What’s less common, is re…

The words of Jeremiah and the words of Jesus seem to be in conflict. How can a good God, who plans to prosper us, not to harm us, to give us hope and a future also be the God who leaves us in a world so twisted it killed its Savior? Jesus, our High Priest knows the brokenness, depravity and violence of this world first-hand, yet he prays to the Fat…

Fatherhood has a unique role in creation. The role of the father is not better or more important than the role of the mother, but the role of the father is different and distinct from the role of the mother. Due to the fall of mankind, all of creation has suffered a father wound and all of creation is in need of healing for our father wounds.…

It’s true, the sovereign, radical loving God of creation causes all things to work together for the good. His plans and purposes for His creation will prevail. This doesn’t mean there won’t be afflictions, falls, temptations, traumas and tragedies along the way. It does mean, in spite of it all and in the face of it all, God is working it together …

Pits are the traumas, tragedies, and excruciating transitions in our lives that God providentially allows or authors to get us to the people, places and plans He’s pre-ordained and to make us into the person He’s pre-ordained. Our direction and destiny often has much to do with not only what happens to us but how we rehearse and remember what’s hap…

We will all endure heartbreak in this life. There are many ways our hearts can be broken, the death of loved ones, divorce, betrayal, job loss, financial ruin, health challenges, estrangements, inequities, and the death of a vision, to name a few. Losses can distort our hearts and keep us from the radical love God offers. God’s desire is to heal ou…

Radical love is unlike storge love, it’s different from eros love and it goes beyond phileo love. Those loves are exclusively for family, our romantic interests and our closest friends. But radical love does not exclude anyone for anything. It willingly accepts all things, in order to make all things new. Radical love is all inclusive.…

The seed of the Word of the Radical Love of God is being planted in our hearts. However, the soil of our hearts must be properly prepared and cultivated for the seed to take root and bring forth much fruit in our homes and our communities for the glory of God.بقلم Elder Mike Dixon

“What is truth?”, asked Pontius Pilate the fifth governor of the Roman province of Judaea, as he presided over the trial and ultimately the crucifixion of Jesus. It’s a question worth asking in a world where truth is not absolute; truth is no longer black and white nor is it the same in everyone’s eyes. We live in a world where truth is subject to …

To know Jesus is to be in an on-going, life-transforming, life-transferring relationship with radical love. Radical Love keeps no record of our wrongs and then empowers us to keep no record of wrongs. Radical Love is not simply something to be experienced, it’s something to be accessed daily. If we don’t access radical love daily, we will be redeem…

Sometimes we can more clearly explain what something is by explaining what it’s not. Radical love ain’t rude. Rude is ill-mannered and disagreeable towards others. But rude is more than that, it’s also ill-mannered and disagreeable towards God. Rude wants what it wants, when it wants from God and everybody else. But those who walk in radical love a…

God-Yahweh Elohim the covenant making promise keeping God, made a promise to mankind in the garden of Eden over 2,000 years ago. He promised He would crush the head of the serpent by the seed of a woman. Jesus was that seed and He has indeed crushed the government of satan in the earth and given us life and life more abundantly in Him and the gover…

As Jesus descends from the Mount of Olives into Jerusalem, He knows it will be the last week of His life. On Palm Sunday He faces the painful reality that His greatest impact will be through His most difficult and lonely moments in this world. The mindset of radical love is more interested in God’s plans and purposes than our own promotion and pres…
