Have you ever felt trapped by your own negative thoughts that make your life miserable? Or have you wondered how to help others around you who are giving voice to false or distorted thoughts?In this highly practical message, Pastor Dennis explores the intersection of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and biblical truth, illustrating how identifying cognitive distortions—such as "all-or-nothing thinking" or "catastrophizing"—can set us free from negative thought patterns that make our life miserable.  He also introduces us to the "Columbo Method" - asking thoughtful questions of people to challenge their deceptions and lead them to the truth.  This message will provide you with a practical framework to learn how to "garden" the hearts of others through gentle, respectful conversations rather than heated debates.

If God already owns "everything in the world," what does it actually mean to "give" to Him, and is a ten-percent tithe really the final goal?  Randy Catlett explores the transition from legalistic tithing to a life of radical generosity, emphasizing that tithing is not a way to "buy" salvation or blessings but is a faithful return of what already belongs to God.  By sharing personal stories of divine provision and intimate encounters with the Lord, Randy encourages us to see the tithe as a starting point and to experience the joy of giving beyond ten percent to an "awesome, loving God."  Tithing & giving offerings is a place in your faith walk where God invites you to "test Me in this," (Malachi 3:10) and see if He does not open the floodgates of blessing over your life!

Are you prepared for a shift in your identity - ready to trade long-held excuses and self-pity for following the transformative word of Jesus to "Get up and walk?"Using the Bible story in John chapter 5 of the healing of the lame man at the pool of Bethesda, Pastor Dennis shows us how to start embracing the power of God that is at work within us.   Listen to this message and learn the steps you need to take to begin bridging the gap between God's power that is available to you and your personal experience.  You can stop hiding behind excuses and be set free to begin unlocking a "double portion" of blessing in your life.  Go from being pitiful to being powerful - and bring glory to God!

Are we guilty of trying to create God in our own image rather than allowing Him to transform us into His? Pastor Dennis explores Jesus’s pivotal question, "Who do you say I am?" He explains how our answer to this question may not be incorrect, but it could be incomplete.  Jesus can bring further and fuller revelation of Himself, and He wants to!  Listen to this message and begin to receive an "update" to your understanding of who He is and who you are.

What if the purpose of Jesus coming to earth was not just to cleanse us from our sins, but to prepare us to receive the divine companion, the Holy Spirit? This message by Pastor Dennis explains the foundational role of the Holy Spirit in the life of every believer. The Holy Spirit is our advocate, teacher, and constant companion, and he guides us into all truth. Pastor Dennis shows from Scripture how receiving the Holy Spirit can occur through baptism, prayer, or the laying on of hands, and how we can have a daily, ongoing, active relationship with Him.  Listen to this message and start enjoying life in the Spirit!

Do you need restored vision for what God's path is for your life and to believe that "better days are ahead" for you? Centered on Psalm 103, this message by Pastor Matt Bachtold explores the Hebrew concept of "hesed" - God's steadfast, covenantal love that completely surrounds us, giving us the foundation to trust Him during seasons of upheaval and change. Both Matt & Jill share "God moments" they have experienced during their recent journey into a new location & ministry.  This message will encourage you to maintain faith in God's steadfast love and goodness regardless of current hardships or setbacks - and believe that "better days are ahead!"

Hook Questions Have you ever thought about being designed by God to act as a "ruler" in your own life & domain? In this Father's Day message, Pastor Dennis teaches that God designed every person to be a ruler in their own life, created in His image to exercise dominion over the earth while remaining under His ultimate authority. By examining the rules for kings found in Deuteronomy and the servant leadership modeled by Jesus, we're shown that true biblical authority is found in serving and building others up rather than seeking self-indulgence or power.  This message will give you a healthy understanding of your role as "ruler" of your own God-given domain.

What if the Lord’s Prayer was never meant to be just a religious recitation, but a practical blueprint for your daily life? Pastor Dennis explain that when Jesus taught us “The Lord's Prayer,” He was providing a framework for how His followers should live rather than just a script to be recited,. This message breaks down each petition of the prayer as a way of abiding in Christ and developing a lifestyle of dependency upon God.

Are you chasing supernatural signs and wonders, or are you seeking the Spirit of God who works through both the supernatural and the natural, both the miraculous and the mundane? Pastor Dennis explores the transition in Israel's history when the supernatural provision of manna ended, illustrating that such shifts are often a call to spiritual maturity.  He draws parallels to Jesus’ teaching in John 6 after He had miraculously fed the 5,000, emphasizing that true faith is built on staying in step with the Holy Spirit rather than merely chasing signs and wonders, which can lead to deception if they become the primary focus of one's foundation.

Is it possible to live "in the Father’s house"—doing all the right things and following all the rules—while remaining completely disconnected from the Father’s heart? Drawing from the parable of the two sons in Luke 15, Mary Mayes explores the radical nature of a Father whose love is not measured by performance but by an unwavering commitment to His children. She illustrates how God the Father pursues both the "rebel" lost in the shame of the pigsty and the "religious" lost in the bitterness of their own self-righteousness, inviting both to trade their striving for the gift of His presence.  This powerful message shows us the way to be restored not as servants, but as sons and daughters who are welcomed home by a Father God who runs to meet us.
