Send us Fan Mail If the supernatural is taking flight, honor is what builds the runway. God ignites the fires of the supernatural, but we're the ones who lay the kindling. In this message we look at why Jesus, in His own hometown, "could not do any miracles there" except heal a few sick people, and how familiarity bred contempt in the very people who should have known Him best. Honor is given, offense is taken. And what we believe about honor will always show up in how we behave. In this te...

Send us Fan Mail Do you know God's voice — or is your faith running on routine? Showing up to church, serving on a team, giving your tithe... all the right boxes checked, but no real relationship where God actually speaks to you. In this message we go back to 1 Samuel 3, to a moment when "the word of the Lord was rare" in Israel. But even then, God didn't just hear Samuel — He called him by name.

Send us Fan Mail Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in His holy place? Only the one with clean hands and a pure heart (Psalm 24:3-4). In this message, we ask a deeper question than "Do I worship God?" — we ask, WHAT are we really worshipping? Because if we don't worship God, we will worship something else. An idol isn't a statue — it's anything we cannot put on the altar: money, knowledge, fame, possessions, technology, even ourselves. We were designed for worship (Isaia...

Send us Fan Mail To ascend to God, you must first desire Him. But what does that desire actually look like in your daily life? Are you living in indifference toward God’s presence, or are you completely dependent on it? In Part 2 of our "Ascend" series, we dive deep into what it takes to experience the manifested glory—the Kabod—of God. Looking at Elijah in 1 Kings 19, Moses in Exodus 33, and the Transfiguration in Matthew 17, we learn that true desire requires turning away from the love of ...
