This is the final sermon in our series What's In The Box! Enjoy this message by Pastor Sean Pritchard on Love and the Love that Jesus has for us and how when God's Love is in our life that we are completed and the God size hole in our lives is filled!!

What Is Natural Hope? Natural hope: • Wishful thinking • Emotion-based • Circumstantial • Uncertain What Is Biblical Hope? Biblical hope: • Confident expectation • Rooted in God’s character • Anchors the soul • Unshakeable Why the Difference Matters Natural hope fades.?Biblical hope sustains.?Natural hope depends on us.?Biblical hope depends on God. How to Shift Your Hope 1 Focus on Christ, not circumstances 2 Stand on God’s promises 3 Surrender the outcome 4 Invite the Holy Spirit to fill you with hope

We hope that you enjoy this message by Pastor Jarred about not staying in the land that God has called you out of and how our attitude can affect what God is trying to do through us in this new time!

Our attitude determines our altitude and our altitude determines our outlook “Attitude” is one of the key things we must deal with, not make excuses for!! This was not gratitude but ATTITUDE!! Instead of focusing on freedom from sin, from bondage, from slavery and ultimately from hells flame, Gods people got focused on situational context. God was bringing them to a new place of freedom and promise and yet the process was not endured because of ritualistic comforts being stripped away. Life appeared to get hard when I had to consider what I was doing. I didn't find myself standing in gratitude or even a good attitude but actually the opposite. I felt frustration and challenge because all the sudden i had to consider my actions and thoughts and deeds. IT created conflict with the one person we don't want to be in conflict with, OURSELVES!! Hebrews 11:6 NKJV “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” I want to be part of Gods plan what ever it cost me in comfort and convenience I want to be part if it costs me tradition and mindset I want to be part if it means i don't get my way Proverbs 28:21 NKJV “To show partiality is not good, Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress.” We can’t be so easily moved to wrong attitudes and wrong motives. We must be a people with a solidified attitude of who’s in control. Who’s working on our behalf. Who’s going before us. Who’s fighting for us. Who’s made a way where there seemed to be no way. Who’s made us the head and not the tail. Who’s marked us for his purpose

1) Discontent If we want to have an attitude of gratitude then we need to check our lens and ask our selfs is this lens being blurred or corrupted? Is discontent robing you of your gratitude? 2) Victim If you're always the victim of this life!?What is there to be grateful for? You are not a victim you are a conqueror! A victim attitude will rob you of an attitude of gratitude 3) Have you forgotten Have you become so immune to his spirit and his presence that when your in it…it doesn’t move you? Two Questions to ask your self this week! 1) How is your lens? 2) Is there a filter on it?

The will, of God for our lives is not so much what we do in action or works, but what we allow to be done inside us. The trap is appearing to follow God, outwardly in order to maintain some form of completeness or satisfaction. Yet we are motivated by greed and selfish actions that don't display godliness.

LOOKING AT LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF GRATITUDE 1. Stop comparing. Comparison is the thief of Joy. 2. Stop complaining. Complaining causes, you to forget the goodness of God. 3. Give thanks in everything. You live a life of Praise and thanksgiving regardless of what you're facing, regardless of how you feel. Gratitude is not passive-It's powerful and perspective-shifting!

It's for ALL! Lazy pursuits have produced powerless believers. Have you you received it? - HOW DO I KNOW? 1. There is evidence 2. You are being transformed from the inside out 3. There is a fire, a passion inside you 4. You will be lead to do things outside you comfort zone - your natural man will not lead you to places of sacrifice and testing. - your natural man will not lead you to places of spiritual conflict and obedience - your natural man will not lead you to places of self denial and self humility

Enjoy this message by our good friend Pastor Ryan Allen as he shares on the Holy Spirit and how need to be plug into the Holy Spirit for power in our lives!

Where's the Oil? What was the thing that allowed the lamp to burn, the fire to exist, the light to guide? THE OIL! Jesus was simply saying my oil, isn't for your lamp. As your pastor my oil isn't for your lamp, but should move you to a place of hunger and desire for your own oil. 1. We don't want to wait - Gods gift comes from surrender and hunger. 2. We don't understand ity think we need it you may excuse its value in your life, but Jesus saw it as necessity Are you producing or just boring from others? God isn't looking for a church today that is lacking oil. He's looking for souls on fire with the oil of anointing for the hour at hand!

1) Holy Spirit: Power for purpose 2)Praying His perfect will through us! 3)Faith and confidence will over take the enemy 4) The Holy Spirit heals the broken hearted

Living on Mission It’s what we carry…. So many are looking for the perfect fit and place in order to function as a "servant" and that is why we aren't seeing moves of God and outpourings of His spirit. No where in scripture do we see men of God picking where they want to be in order to effectively minister the gospel. To carry the cross in Jesus time, was more about a death processional than a do what's best for you moment. Where's the elephant What if laziness is nothing but a habit of thinking about the effort instead of thinking about the outcome? It will cause a great commotion.. Our world doesn't need more effortless Christians. Our world needs cross bearers that are passionate and the work of God and His church, burdened for a cause greater than their self comforts and desires.

Living Fruitful Lives 1. Jesus saves us to transforms us into a new person. That new person reflects a new nature and that new nature produces a new outlook or a new "walk" 2. Our challenge becomes our response to the call to walk worthy of Jesus's sacrifice 3. Regardless of what has influenced your "walk", there is a promise from the Father called the Holy Spirit that comes to redirect what has been deeply rooted in your life 4. When we come to Jesus, we begin to be challenged by His spirit as to who we are and what is being produced in our lives.

1. Walking in Dominion and Authority is God's original plan for mankind. The mandate for dominion and authority that started in the garden did not expire! Sin No Longer Has Power Over Us 2. Walking in Dominion and Authority begins with a renewed mind. A transformed mind leads to a victorious life! 3. It's Time To Walk In What Belongs To You!

The foolishness of the cross is the greatest example of what true love will move us to do. True love will move your heart to a place of sacrifice and not a place of obligation. Mission: Loving people - Making disciples - Leaving a legacy Is not a transaction, its a motivation behind my love for God - like Jesus modeled

We hope that you enjoy this life changing message by Pastor Dana Pritchard that will challenge and stretch you in your relationship. 1)Remember 2)Repent 3)Return Love God, Love People Hebrews 2:1 Therefore we ought to give the most earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them drift away. John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one another.

We hope that you enjoyed this message by Pastor Cole McGowan on our series Back To Basics pt.2 Here are the points that pastor Cole used, make sure to share this with your friends and family! Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. FPODP He gave us authority! 1)Facts: Word of Power? 2)Probabilities: Victory ? 3)Own situation: Where are you?? 4)Decision: Prison of Indecision? 5)Plan: Saying and Doing

1) Christ crucified was the ultimate expression of Love and until that moment, receiving what was promised in the word was more transactional than it was personal. 2) As true Bible believers our focus must be on biblical truths and values not moments in the present. 3)I do what I do because of love, not duty. Earning is proving some thing to someone to make yourself more valuable. God already said your value when he sacrificed His son for you. So never feel motivated because of duty or compulsion to prove. My motivation is founded on what Jesus did for me.

Freedom is a threat! 1) Sin is a resident 2) Sin is a prison warden 3) Sin is a retailer 4) Sin is a spreading disease Our freedom bankrupts the devils resources and becomes a threat to sins economy!

Live free! 1. Forget 2. Reach 3. Engage 4. “Experience” a new mindset. It's amazing what begins to happen in your life when you can accept these simple yet powerful truths. Your mindset begins to change, your outlook changes, your future changes and ultimately your whole life begins to change!
