In this message, we learn that putting God first is more than words — it’s shown through reverence, obedience, priorities, and the way we live every day.

When we fear God, obey His Word, and make His priorities our priorities, we position ourselves to experience His wisdom, protection, and blessing. 👑

“If you make what’s important to God important to you… God will make what’s important to you important to Him.”

In this message, we unpack Genesis 12:1-3 and discover how God often uses seasons of relocation, isolation, and separation to prepare us for His promises. What feels uncomfortable may actually be God's way of positioning you for purpose, blessing, and impact.

God's process isn't meant to break you—it's meant to build you. Through every challenge, He is shaping your character, strengthening your faith, and preparing you for the promise on the other side.

📖 Scripture: Genesis 12:1-3

🔥 In this message:
• Why God calls us out of our comfort zones
• The purpose of isolation and intimacy with God
• How separation can lead to spiritual growth
• The connection between process and elevation
• Living in the blessing God has prepared for you

Your process may include relocation, isolation, and separation—but it also includes a promise. Trust what God is doing, even when you can't see where He's leading.

Even in stressful seasons, God is still speaking — sometimes in a gentle whisper. 🕊️

In this message, we learn that stress is not always the problem — ignoring it is. Through the story of Elijah, we discover that God gives us strength for stress when we learn to rest our bodies and release our burdens through prayer.

Even strong people have breaking points.
But rest is found in Jesus. 🕊️

If you’ve been feeling weary, anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained, this message is for you.

What does it really mean to say “God is with you” when life isn’t going your way?

In Holy Grit | Week 3, Pastor T teaches on the nearness of God and reminds us that God’s presence is not proven by comfort, but by faithfulness. Through the life of Joseph, we see that God was near in the house, in temptation, and even in prison — not removing the trial, but sustaining His servant through it.

When we trust that the Lord is near, we gain resilience, holiness, and hope — even before deliverance comes. God’s immanence doesn’t mean life will be easy; it means we are never alone.

📖 Scriptures Referenced:
Genesis 39:2, 21, 23

🔥 Holy Grit isn’t about avoiding the process — it’s about trusting God in it.

Before God blesses you with more, He watches how you manage what’s already in your hands. 🔥
In Holy Grit Part 3, we learn that faithfulness, stewardship, and excellence are essential to elevation.

Through the life of Joseph, this message reminds us that God is the owner and we are the managers. People with Holy Grit understand that becoming matters more than doing, evaluation comes before elevation, and wherever God plants them, the environment improves.

If you want to be trusted with more, you must be faithful where you are.

📖 Scriptures Referenced:
Genesis 39:2–6

🔥 This is the year of Holy Grit — stay faithful, stay excellent, and keep growing.

In this message, The Perfect Gift in the Worst Circumstance, we reflect on the birth of Jesus and the powerful truth that God wrapped salvation in humility. Jesus wasn’t born in a palace — He was placed in a manger — bringing true peace through reconciliation with God.

Through Luke 2, we see how the shepherds responded to Jesus with worship, witness, and joy — and how encountering Christ should change the way we live. This message challenges us to ask an important question: Have we made room for Jesus, and has His presence changed us?

Mary was chosen because:

1️⃣ She was positioned in the Line of Promise
Through the lineage of David and her roots in Nazareth, Mary stood exactly where prophecy would be fulfilled. 

2️⃣ She had a humble, surrendered heart
Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s servant… may your word to me be fulfilled.” True humility is thinking of yourself less. 

3️⃣ She believed before she understood
Elizabeth declared, “Blessed is she who has believed…” God still chooses people who trust Him before seeing the full plan.

In Luke 17, Jesus heals ten lepers — but only one comes back to say thank you. That one grateful response reveals a powerful truth: thankfulness is an act of worship that honors God and positions us for more. 

Through Scriptures like Isaiah 61:3, Proverbs 3:5–6, and 1 Thessalonians 5:18, we discover:
✨ God gives beauty for ashes
✨ Trust and thankfulness always go together
✨ Obedience is evidence of faith
✨ Gratitude should be expressed, not just felt
✨ Thankfulness in every season shifts your heart and strengthens your walk

If God has healed you, saved you, or brought you through anything — keep thanking Him. Gratitude opens the door to transformation.

Luke 2:11 (NIV) Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 

13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

Jesus Loves Us 

1 John 4:7 (KJV) Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

The Greek word for know is (ginosko) which means experience. 

The Greek word for love is (agape) which means unconditional love. 

To know God is to love!  

If you struggle with loving others, draw closer to God. 

Weak relationships become stronger when both people draw closer to the Lord! 

 1 John 4:8 (KJV)  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 

Music

Genesis 1:11 (NIV) Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 

Galatians 6:7 (NIV)….God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 

2 Corinthians 9:6 (NIV) Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. ”

You reap more than what you sow! 

2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV) Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 

Galatians 6:9 (NIV) Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 

2 Corinthians 9:12 (NIV) This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.”

The purpose of the blessing is so we can prosper to be more generous. 

We give to get to give again 

2 Corinthians 9:15 (NIV) Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!”

James 5:7 (NIV) Be patient, then, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains.

The Greek word for patience is ‘macro-thumos’ - macro meaning long and thumos meaning heat.  It comes from our word thermometer. 

Good seed sown in good soil, in God's timing will produce a great harvest. 

You don’t reap in the same seasons that you sow in. 

Wait peaceably 

Lamentations 3:26 (NIV) it is good to wait quietly “for the salvation of the LORD.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV) There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:” 

Wait Actively 

While waiting stay faithful to God's Word!

A person who has a harvest mentality sows.

Everything starts with the seed. 

Genesis 1:11 (NIV) Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 

You cannot get a harvest from seedless soil. 

Psalm 107:37 (NLT) They sow their fields, plant their vineyards, and harvest their bumper crops.

A person with a harvest mentality understands that you get returns after you make a deposit. 

You reap what you sow.

To ignite your passion for Jesus, you have to commit to studying and applying the Word of God
When you build your life on Jesus' word, it gives you stability.  

Study and apply the Word of God.

Mark 12:30 (MES) Jesus said, Love the Lord God with all your passion (heart) and prayer and intelligence and energy.

2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

1 Thessalonians 2:13 (NIV) And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe.”

What are spiritual gifts? 

A spiritual gift is an ability given to you to carry out God's will successfully. 

A spiritual gift is an ability given to you to Glorify God by serving others well.

Spiritual gifts are always in alignment with your purpose. 

Purpose gives you passion. Passion doesn't give you purpose

Polish your passion.

The purpose of our spiritual gifts is to minister to others. 

The purpose of our spiritual gifts is to manifest the heart of Jesus. 

Mark 12:30 (MES) Jesus said, Love the Lord God with all your passion (heart) and prayer and intelligence and energy.

1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)  Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 

1 Corinthians 12:8 (KJV) For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

Remember.  Journal Jesus actions in your life. 

Remembering the passion of Christ should inspire you to pursue a higher passion.

Revelations 2:2 (KJV) I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

Revelations 2:4 (KJV)….I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

Revelations 2:5 (KJV) Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

The company you keep should inspire you to follow Jesus.

Who’s in your company? 

What company are you having over?

What company are you working for?

Bad Company is anything that pulls us away from God. 

Bad company causes you to devalue the word of God.

'I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. ' - John 15:15 NIV

'Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. ' - Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NIV

'As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. ' - Proverbs 27:17

The company you keep should sharpen you.

Teaching gives your children information but training gives them demonstration. 

The target is Love God and Love people. 

Parents are warriors who have been entrusted with children (Arrows) to help them to become weapons of mass instruction against the darkness of this world. 

Psalm 127:1 (NIV) Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.

Proverbs 13:24 (NIV) Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.

Proverbs 22:6 (KJV) Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it

In the model family, the husband loves his wife so much that he prioritizes her needs and wants above his own, because of his devotion to God. 

In the model family, children honor, listen and obey their parents, because of their devotion to God.

In the model family, everyone fears the Lord.

'So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” '
- Genesis 1:27-28

'Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. '

Colossians 3:18

'Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. '

Colossians 3:19

'Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. '

Colossians 3:20

'Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. ' - Colossians 3:1

'And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. ' - Colossians 3:14

'Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. ' - Colossians 3:15

Covenant spirit.

 With you know matter what. 

Ruth 1:16 (CSB) But Ruth replied Don’t plead with me to abandon you or to return and not follow you.
For wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you live, I will live; your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.  

Ruth 2:2 (CSB)…Will you let me go into the fields and gather fallen grain behind someone with whom I find favor?”Naomi answered her, “Go ahead, my daughter.”

Character - a model man does what he says. 

Worker - a  model man knows if he doesn't work he doesn't eat.

Relationship with God - a model man doesn't just have religion he has a relationship. 

You need a man that loves Jesus more than he loves you! 

Generous - a model man knows he’s been blessed to be a blessing. 

Ruth 2:1 (CSB) Now Naomi had a relative on her husband’s side. He was a prominent man of noble character from Elimelech’s family. His name was Boaz.

Ruth 2:8 (CSB) Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Don’t go and gather grain in another field, and don’t leave this one, but stay here close to my female servants. 9 See which field they are harvesting, and follow them. Haven’t I ordered the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go and drink from the jars the young men have filled.”

Ruth 2:10 (CSB) She fell facedown, bowed to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found favor with you, so that you notice me, although I am a foreigner?”

Ruth 2:12 (CSB) May the Lord reward you for what you have done, and may you receive a full reward from the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.”

You + God can defeat any giant you face.

Do you know who God is?

When you know who God is, you discover who you are.

“But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”” - ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭16‬:‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Failure is a part of life, but it's not the end. 

My setback is an opportunity to come back stronger! 

It’s hard to trust a repeat offender! 

To rebound from a failure will take more than remorse. (Emotional expression) 

You need to repent.  (Behavior change) 

You can’t pray or talk your way out of something you behave your way into.  

Release regret and receive grace.

Lose, learn and move on. 

Proverbs 24:16 (NIV) for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again,”

1 John 1:9 (NIV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Surrender is not defeat, it’s really a victory over self, desires, and will.

The secret to a Christian man’s strength is admitting your weakness

When you recognize that you're weak, you depend on God's strengths to help you be a Christian man. 

It's time to put your gloves up and surrender to God's will.

Genesis 32:24 (NIV) So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak.  

Genesis 32:25 (NIV) When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV) But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”

Romans 5:3 (NIV) Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.

When you place your hope in Jesus, you will have flood assurances.

The leaf was a message of hope and the beginning of a new era of life. 

The olive leaf for the Christian is a verse of Scripture

Keep hoping in Jesus! 

Jesus is our dove from heaven who passes leaves of hope!

Hold onto your hope in Jesus knowing that he will bring you through the flood waters to a place of peace and new beginning just like he promised. 

Genesis 7:1 (NIV) The LORD then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. 

Genesis 7:17 (NIV) For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth. 18 The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. 19 They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered.”

Romans 15:4 (NIV) For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”

When you talk to God, do you let Him talk back to you?

God, the creator of the universe, wants to talk with you.
Pray.

The best prayer life is a never-ending conversation with God. 

”“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.“- ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” - ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” - ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The way to know your season is discernment.

To know the seasons of your life you can borrow discernment. 

If you don’t know what season you're in you will not know what to do

Seasons of our lives are determined by the choices we make. 

You can start a new season in your life by deciding to do what God says

God will help you get through every season

Genesis 1:14 (KJV) And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

 Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV) There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 

Eziekel 34:26 (KJV) And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.

8 Solomon answered God, “You have shown great kindness to David my father and have made me king in his place. 9 Now, Lord God, let your promise to my father David be confirmed, for you have made me king over a people who are as numerous as the dust of the earth. 10 Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?”

11 God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, 12 therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.”

God has a plan and if followed will lead to financial prosperity. 

In life you don’t win by accident.  

You succeed in life because you intentionally put a plan in place and you stick with it. 

God's plan for debt is to eliminate it. 

To eliminate debt, focus more on needs and not your wants. 

Eliminate so you can elevate your life

Follow God's money plan. 

Faith in God's plan will lead to Financial prosperity!  

Proverbs 21:5 (GNT)  Plan carefully and you will have plenty; if you act too quickly, you will never have enough.

Proverbs 21:5 (NLT) Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.

Proverbs 13:22 (NIV) A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children,

What is your money fuel? 

Commit to developing a plan that will fully fund your life. Your money needs a purpose.

1 Chronicles 29:14 (NIV) “But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.”

Proverbs 21:5 (GNT)  Plan carefully and you will have plenty; if you act too quickly, you will never have enough.

Grace doesn't just save you, grace empowers you to live right.

 Jesus chose to die for me so that I could have eternal life.

Choose Jesus and live

Romans 5:12 (CSB) Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all people, because all sinned.

Romans 5:14 (CSB) Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam’s transgression. He is a type of the Coming 

Romans 5:15 (CSB) But the gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man’s trespass the many died, how much more have the grace of God and the gift which comes through the grace of the one man Jesus Christ overflowed to the many. 

Romans 6:11 (NIV) In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.”

Romans 6:14 (NIV) For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

Do not let your tradition get in the way of the reason you have a tradition to begin with.
 
Honor with purpose 

Live with purpose 

Celebrate with Purpose

”The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.“ ‭‭John‬ ‭12‬:‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

”They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the king of Israel!”“  ‭‭John‬ ‭12‬:‭13‬ ‭NIV

”Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.“ Zechariah‬ ‭9‬:‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Wait with patience

Patience is a fruit of the spirit.  

The Holy Spirit empowers you to wait with patience.

Faith in Jesus gives you the confidence to wait with patience.
Faith in Jesus will give you patience to endure tribulations. 

People who are patient know that the season they are in is not permanent. 

Good things come to those who wait. 

James 5:7 (NIV) Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. 

8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.

Habakkuk 2:3 (NLT) This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, or it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.

The word worry comes from a German word that means to strangle and be choked by your emotions.   

Worrying is deadly. 

How do you stop worrying and start living? 

The reason you shouldn’t worry is because Jesus cares.

Worry less and trust Jesus more.

Mark 4:19 (NIV)….the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.”

Matthew 6:25 (NIV) Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 

Matthew 6:33 (NIV) But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 

 Matthew 6:34(NIV)Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

What’s stopping you from your better life?

What’s stopping you from experiencing a better life?

If you want to find the right match in life prioritize your life

In order to determine if someone or something is the right match you must evaluate and investigate 

Look at your comfort as the compass as to whether or not God is guiding you to the right match

Ruth 2:2 (NIV)  And Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Let me go to the fields and pick up the leftover grain behind anyone in whose eyes I find favor.” Naomi said to her, “Go ahead, my daughter.” 3 So she went out, entered a field and began to glean behind the harvesters. As it turned out, she was working in a field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelek.4 Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the harvesters, “The Lord be with you! ”The Lord bless you!” they answered.5 Boaz asked the overseer of his harvesters, “Who does that young woman belong to?”

Ruth 2:13 (NIV) “May I continue to find favor in your eyes, my lord,” she said. “You have put me at ease by speaking kindly to your servant—though I do not have the standing of one of your servants.”

Ruth 2:19(NIV) Her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you glean today? Where did you work? Blessed be the man who took notice of you! "Then Ruth told her mother-in-law about the one at whose place she had been working. “The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz,” she said.

A marriage is a team.  

The bible is the playbook for marriage

Teams practice to improve their skills. 

You have to improve your relationship skills to make the marriage better. 

You can’t win without a team. 

Genesis 2:22 (NIV) Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.”

Genesis 2:16 (NIV) And the LORD God commanded the man, You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.

Ecclesiastes 10:10 "If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed but skill will bring success."

Talk is cheap but action is priceless

Love provides and protects.

Love is a promise keeper.

Marriage is a covenant and not a contract.

Love is affectionate.

Put your love into action. 

Love does.

Songs of Songs 3:6 (NIV) 

Who is this coming up from the wilderness like a column of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and incense made from all the spices of the merchant?

Genesis 2:24 (NIV) 

That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

1 Corinthians 7:3 (NKJV)  

Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. 

Songs of Songs 5:1b (NIV) 

Eat, friends, and drink; drink your fill of love.”

You know when things are out of order because there is a spirit of confusion.  

God is not the author of confusion so when your life is not aligned to the book (Bible) you are out of order.  

Get help.

People are essential to your prosperity. 

Let go of toxic people.  

Stop worrying about who isn't willing to help and go with the goers. 

Get to work. 

Nothing that is broken is beyond repair, 

Jesus can fix whatever is broken.

1 Corinthians 14:33 (NIV) For God is not a God of disorder but of peace in all the congregations of the Lord’s people.

Proverbs 21:5 (NLT) Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.

Where are you headed? (Vision) 

A vision is a mental picture of a desired future that has been inspired by God.

The value of vision is that it gives you clear direction. 

What's your target? (Goal)

Nehemiah 2:13 (NIV) By night I went out through the Valley Gate toward the Jackal Well and the Dung Gate, examining the walls of Jerusalem, which had been broken down, and its gates, which had been destroyed by fire.”

Proverbs 21:5 (NLT) Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.

Ephesians 5:33 Nevertheless, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

You can not love and respect someone like God has called you to by your own strength.

The Holy Spirit enables you to do what you need to do even when you feel like you can’t.

Relationships are going to thrive when there is love and respect.

When your tank is full of God’s word you are better equipped to serve, love and respect your spouse.

Where is your fruit and who is it for?

You must love - You must respect (no excuses)

When you have a problem you should pray.

Withdraw daily to a quiet place, fast and pray while you're waiting on God to give you a plan.   

When you are burdened with a problem don’t panic, pray!   

Why should you pray? 

Prayer is an opportunity to release your problems to God. 

Prayer doesn’t change things God does, and when you pray you tap into the resources of God. 

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Nehemiah 1:1 (NIV) The words of Nehemiah son of Hakaliah: In the month of Kislev in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa, 

2 Hanani, one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant that had survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem.

3 They said to me, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.”

4 When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven. 

What has God called you to do?

Why aren’t you answering the call?

Greater is in you. Greater is on you.  

Luke 5:1 (NIV) One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. 

2 He saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. 

3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”

Luke 5:5 (NIV) Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets. 

Luke 5:6 (NIV) When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 

7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

Luke 5:8 (NIV) When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” 

9 For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 

10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners.  Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people. 

Jesus was born to save us from the bondage of sin, so that we could have the greatest gift of eternal life. 

Receive the Christmas message in your heart. 

Respond to the Christmas message by faith.

God’s Word is His promissory note and your faith is what brings the promise to pass. 

Retell the Christmas message to all. 

There is power in the Christmas message. 

Luke 2:11  (NIV) Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Luke 2:15 (NIV) When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 

17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 

Luke 2:20 (NIV) The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. 

Romans 1:16 (NIV) For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes:

In order to build relationships that can stand and withstand winds, you need the right foundation.

Faith in the foundation for successful relationships.
The promises we make at the altar can be achieved by faith.

Faith comes by hearing the word of God.

Move from learning about faith to living by faith.

Get a Faith Mate not a Fate Mate.

Promises can not be fulfilled without being unified by faith.

If you want your relationship to win, you need to live by faith.

It is extremely hard to love people through all seasons of life without faith.

Learn faith!

Ungrateful people say “thank you” too

The best way to say thank you is with your actions. 

The best way to show God you’re thankful is by living the life He created for you. 

What are you grateful for? How grateful are you? 

“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” - Colossians 3:17 NIV

What are you waiting for? 

What blessing are you missing out on because of procrastinating?

If not now, then when?

It's how we focus on today that helps build our faith for tomorrow. 

“Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.” - ‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭11‬:‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

““So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭34‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I Kings 17:13 NIV

When you make a great sacrifice you make a great difference in the lives of others.

 “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”” -  ‭‭Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭45‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Faith is confidence in the promise of God.

Faith is built through relationships. 

What should we pass down to our family? 

Judges 2:7 (NIV) The people served the LORD throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the LORD had done for Israel.

Judges 2:10 (NIV) After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the LORD nor what he had done for Israel.”

Psalm 78:4 ( NIV)……we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done.

Psalm 78:5 (NIV) He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach their children,

6 so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.

Are you selfish? 

A selfish person is only concerned with self.

Grateful people are generous. 

Generosity flows from an understanding of biblical stewardship. 

John 12:3 (NIV)Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, 

5“Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages. 

6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.

7“Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. 8 You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.

Life is not about what you have but rather what you’re doing with it. 

Money can cause people to be arrogant

Your value is not determined by your valuables! 

1 Timothy 6:17 (NIV) Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 

Ephesians 2:9(KJV)Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Ephesians 2:10(KJV) For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Do you like the direction your habits are taking you in?

Breaking bad habits requires you to avoid unhealthy places. 

Judges 16:5 (NIV) The rulers of the Philistines went to her and said, “See if you can lure him into showing you the secret of his great strength and how we can overpower him so we may tie him up and subdue him. Each one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver.”

Judges 16:6 (NIV) So Delilah said to Samson, “Tell me the secret of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.”

Judges 16:17 (NIV) …No razor has ever been used on my head,” he said, “because I have been a Nazirite dedicated to God from my mother’s womb. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me, and I would become as weak as any other man.”

1. Keep your eyes on the prize 
2. Endure some pain - No pain no gain 
3. Say no, so you can say yes to what matters.
4. Finish the race

Colossians 3:23 (NIV) Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,”

Run for Jesus with all your heart.

• If you run for Jesus your Heavenly Father will help you win. 

Hebrews 12:2 (KJV) Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Reaching your relational goals requires that you are clear on what you want. 

Clarifying your goals will give your life clear direction.

Reaching your goals will take more than hope, it requires habits.  

1 Corinthians 15:9 (NIV) For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 

10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 

11 Whether, then, it is I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.”
