As image-bearers of a God who creates with His Words, it’s important that we understand the power of ours. In the message, Havilah Cunnington teaches on the power and influence our spoken words carry. Our words create worlds that we are responsible for managing. What we say reveals much about what we believe, the contents of our hearts, what we’ve made an agreement with, and more. What kind of world are you creating with your language? How can you begin to partner with Heaven, releasing the cult...
Community heals. God delights in it so deeply that He chooses to reveal Himself in the midst of it.

Aligning with the divine purpose over our lives is essential to bringing the kingdom of Heaven to earth; and we’ve been commissioned to do it. In this message, Bill Johnson continues his series on aligning with divine purpose. The plans and purposes God assigned us to are more than good plans. Divine purpose is our duty as believers.

Living aware of God—His presence, voice, and Spirit—is a critical component of the Christian life. It is one of the many byproducts of His life, death, and resurrection. In this Easter Sunday message, Bill Johnson teaches on the lifestyle believers get to enter into as a result of the finished work of the Cross. The Christian life is a life of resurrection. It’s about surrender, yielding, and wholeheartedly pursuing Jesus so that the fruit of our lives mirrors the resurrection of Christ. As we c...
When the prophet Isaiah declared, “Arise and shine,” it was more than simply an encouragement—it was a commission. The Light of the world longs to shine through His people. In this message, Bill Johnson unpacks Isaiah 60:1-5, inviting the Church to step into the promises of God now. While some promises unfold over time, many are meant to be lived in and expressed today. Why do we believe at times that certain promises aren’t for us? And what might the world look like if the Church walked in grea...
We are better together. Jesus calls us to love one another in the midst of our brokenness, and as we do, we create space for His power to be revealed among us. In this message, Bill Johnson shares on the power of God at work through His people. All authority belongs to Him, and as we pursue His presence, walk in obedience, and live from His love, His power flows through our lives. While the enemy has no authority, where might we unknowingly be partnering with him? How do we grow in trust with Go...

In this message, Richard Gordon teaches on the power and fruit of living a life marked by honor, inviting us to become a people known for the way we see and value one another.

How does Scripture define and demonstrate the kind of love we are invited to embody? This teaching is both an encouragement and a charge—an invitation to move beyo...
As sheep learn to recognize the voice of their shepherd, we are invited to know and recognize the voice of the Lord—our good Shepherd. In this message, Hayley Braun invites us into a deeper understanding of God’s heart and role of a shepherd by exploring the nature and design of sheep. In John 10:11 and 14, God boldly speaks to both His role as a Shepherd and the reach of His love towards His sheep.

We need an encounter with the provocation of God’s love. In this message, Hayley Braun invites us into intentionality and surrender as we seek the heart of God together. As we enter the new year, we’re fasting to set things aside and reconnect with the person of Jesus. This message is a moment for honesty, reflection, and fresh surrender to the Lord.

God takes us from glory to glory, but what does that actually mean, and how does it unfold in real life? In this message, Richard Gordon invites us into the often overlooked space between the former glory and the greater glory God is leading us toward. While many of us recognize the glory of God in seasons of favor, open doors, and promotion, but what about the seasons of transition—when God is refining, stretching, and repositioning us? What does faith look like when the path forward isn’t clea...

The episode highlights that divine intervention requires our invitation, emphasizing that prayer is crucial for manifesting God's glory and power through financial, relational, and health breakthroughs.
We feel an invitation from the Lord to revisit God’s original plan for men. If He had a plan for men, then we, as the Body of Christ, should have one too. In this message, Jason Vallotton walks us through the spiritual stages all men are designed to grow through. From the beginning, when man was formed and filled, to God’s finishing process—where God calls, tests, equips, and commissions man—the intentionality of God’s plan for men is evident. This message is for the Body of Christ and specifica...

When we’re led by the presence of God, we’re not always given all the details. His leadership often looks less like a map and more like a compass, pointing us toward Him.

To discover more, we’re called to lean in close. His Spirit and His presence become our compass, guiding us as we go and revealing the way forward. What distinguishes this di...
