In a socially isolated, socially-distant, self-centered society, real community often falls to the wayside. Let's explore the power of community and doing life together.
When is the last time you put yourself in a position to fail?
"If you never set yourself up to fail then you never set yourself up to grow.” that's the truth that Pastor Khalil unpacks today.
If you're afraid of failure and so do your best to never take risks, this message is for you.
Have you ever asked yourself if faith in Jesus even works? Does it do anything? Does it change anything? If you've wrestled with questions like this, hit play as we wrestle with the purpose of faith and what Jesus has to say to our question.
if we are not careful, everyone will find themselves living for someone else’s approval because most of us are not secure enough in the approval of God.
Living to please God means at times you’re going to make decisions that are going to disappoint people. And you will only go as far in faith as you were comfortable with that truth.
If you cannot live without people's approval then you have already probably hit the lid on your life. But if you will live for God, if his approval will be enough, there is no limit to where He may take you.
you cannot please people and please God at the same time, so which one will you choose?
The lie we learn when we experience the pain of rejection is that we are not worth it. That we are a cosmic accident, a catastrophic failure, or a magnificent mistake.
Satan wants you to believe that you are trash with no purpose beyond simply being thrown away.
But God does not make mistakes and you are not one. He sent Jesus to win where you fail and die where you deserved so you could be accepted as you are. Do not let others’ rejection keep you from experiencing God’s reception. You are not the sum of your mistakes, failures, or shortcomings- In Christ, you are a new creation, the work of the Master; He never makes mistakes, he only makes masterpieces.
Our greatest strategy for stress is prayer but our greatest source of stress is worry. Jesus tells his disciples all the time that they do not need to worry, but how do we actually win the battle against it? We suggest 4 important things to remember from the words of Jesus...
These are stressful times but thankfully God has given us a strategy to not just cope with our stress but to be free of our worry.
We all could use some friendship tips. How do you pick your friends? What kind of friends do we need? What kind of friend are we? How do we share our faith?
These questions and more are all laid out in this message - take notes!
How do you do at leaning into the silence? How much time to do you find yourself taking simply to be still in God's presence?
In an overbusy, anxious, and frantic world, silence and solitude is an invitation to experience stillness, pause, and the voice of God. It's the means by which we slow down enough to enjoy the world and listen to God's direction. But it is also quickly becoming the discipline that the world is forgetting.
How can you be remade in the Image of God? Silence and solitude is critical.
Few spiritual disciplines have the power to combat our pride and change our hearts like the spiritual disciplines of giving and serving. When practiced consistently over a lifetime (and for the right reasons) God transforms us in powerful ways.
How do we embrace the Kingdom that Jesus offers? The disciplines explored in this Kingdom Come series, when practiced consistently, will reform you into the image of God in powerful and often forgotten ways.
Prayer: a conversation with God
Fasting: voluntary abstinence from food for spiritual purposes.
When paired together, prayer and fasting for a purpose can be a key to a spiritual breakthrough.
What is the Bible? Is it trustworthy? How does it benefit us? These are some of the most important questions answered in this message.
The first part of the message recaps and summarizes what we have learned about Sin and God's grace in previous weeks before we turn to see how the Bible helps us with this problem.
As Image Bearers, we are either being deformed by sin or reformed by the Gospel. But until we understand the gravity of sin and how bad things really are in the world and our hearts, we will never see our need for a savior. What is sin? What does it do? That's what this message is all about.
In the Gospel of Matthew (our study over the past year), Jesus’ primary message is that the Kingdom of God is coming to the world through Him. Being a follower of Jesus is all about embracing a new Kingdom and walking away from the ones of this world to live faithfully in the Kingdom that is to come. The question for most of us is how exactly we do that in our everyday lives. That’s what this series is all about.
We are exploring how to put down the patterns of this world and pick up the practices of God’s Kingdom so that we can be remade, set free from sin, and experience the eternal joy that only God can give. Commit to being here every week, bringing your Bible and a journal, and inviting a friend to be a part of what God is going to do right here at Pulse.
In this teaching, Pastor Sean Silverii teaches us from the first verses of Matthew 22 how God invites everyone to his table, including us, the lowest of the low, and all those who are overlooked.
In this episode we have 2 guest speakers Candice & Amber Peter teaching us what it is to be part of the family of God!
This chapter marks the end of Jesus' multi-chapter road trip to Jeruselum and the march towards the grand finale of Matthew's Gospel. As Jesus enters the city, everyone shouts praise for the promised son of David as he arrives but they all have their own idea of who Jesus will be.
This message challenges our approach to Jesus and invites us to allow him to be the God he wants to be in our lives, not just the one we demand him to be.
Matthew 20:1-16 explores a story that challenges every follower of Jesus when it comes to justice, fairness, and mercy. If you've ever said the words "it's just not fair," then take the time to listen to Jesus' words through the parable of the vineyard workers.
We explore the parable of the 4 soils and are challenged by Jesus to ask ourselves the question of which soil our hearts truly are.
Jesus talks a lot about John the Baptist in Matthew chapter 11 but he has a much bigger message in mind for all who wrestle with doubt and continuing on in your faith. "Jesus are you the one who can save me?" We've all had the question. Jesus shares His answer here. If you've ever struggled with continuing on in faith, God has a word for you. We start with a spontaneous Q&A and some questions about the Mark of the beast, the end times, and what Jesus means when he says "my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
