Let’s Build Something (Earl McClellan)
Jesus saves you and makes you new, but He doesn’t stop there. Next, He’ll give you something to do.

Wind Vs Word
Do you ever feel stuck listening to the “wind” of fear, doubt, and uncertainty instead of standing on the Word God already spoke over your life? This message reminds us that the enemy loves to keep us focused on every possible “what if,” but faith means shifting our attention back to God’s presence and His promises.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Mystery Of Potential
It’s too soon to quit on what God has put inside of you. Potential isn’t revealed instantly; it’s unlocked when you embrace the process and keep sowing even when you don't know the outcome.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I Left That Out (Jonathan Josephs)
Most of us have parts of our lives we'd rather keep hidden, even from God. The disappointment we haven't processed. The questions we haven't asked. The fears we don't want to admit.

I Know How This Story Ends
No matter what giants you face, you have a spoiler alert: You know how your story ends. Don't get distracted by the ordinary or an offense, because God is using your current battle to prepare you for the victory.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It’s Not Fair (Robert Madu)
Are you disappointed because of what happened… or because of what you expected would happen? When life feels unfair, it’s easy to compare your story to someone else’s and wonder why things worked out differently. But peace comes when you stop measuring your life against other people and start trusting the character of God. If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please
The Blessing Of Both

God Keeps Receipts (Rich Wilkerson Jr.)
