Sometimes we walk through major storms in our lives, and at times they present themselves suddenly. God is the God of the suddenly.

We are victorious in Him!   Psalm 34:18 tells us, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." God quickens and renews us by the Living Word, through and by Jesus Himself.

Join Julie Harwick for an amazing look at God's continual presence in and blessing of the United States of America. 

Life will always be filled with choices. Choices become the place where we have decided where we want to be with God and self. Our choices require that our intentions be directed towards the details and a conviction of knowing that no matter what choices we have to make, we must declare that "I CHOOSE ME." Choosing me allows us to choose God, who chose us all first. We are God's first love, and when we know such a love, no matter what choices we have to make, CHOOSING ME will always display the glory of God! Join Dr. Jia today for her uplifting and encouraging message.

Rusanne Carole will explore some things to ponder, including that we have the ability to live in heaven on earth with God's power and grace.

Have you noticed that all the modern conveniences we enjoy that were meant to make our lives easier have only made them busier and more demanding?  Aside from the very young or the very senior members of society, most people find themselves nearly overwhelmed by all they have to do. Jesus modeled a very different way of living and invites us to follow His example.

We all go through times when God seems silent. Join Tewannah Aman as she encourages us to embrace the quiet seasons, to hold onto faith, and to believe that God is working even when we can't see it or when things don't make sense.  He is faithful.

We take everything to God, from the least to the greatest of our issues and concerns. We share everything that we are going through and desire with God. When do we pause for the ask of God? When was the last time you heard what God was speaking in terms of direction and clarity, because you heard His ask? God has things on His heart, too, that He wants to share. God is speaking to His daughters, and He has an ask that is always for the benefit of our good. Are you postured for the "ask" of God? What can God ask that you are not willing to do or that you know is going to stretch you? Sisters, the request of the beloved is here; listen for the "ask of God."

Vindication is not a common word in our daily language, but the attitude behind it certainly is.  When we've been wronged or disbelieved, we usually feel compelled to make our case until the offending party admits their error.  We want the world to know that we were right.  But there are many biblical examples that demonstrate a very different response, so what should our attitude be in these situations? Join Julie Harwick for her insightful teaching on this subject.

The Creator of the Universe is holy, awesome, and in a category completely by Himself. But, He is also our loving Father and the best friend we could ever hope for. So how do we reconcile these opposing attributes and ensure that we are giving Him the reverence that He is due, while pursuing the close, personal relationship He lovingly offers us?

Following Jesus can be difficult. Even heartbreaking. In one sitting, the disciples learned of Jesus' upcoming death and that to follow Him, they, too, must endure a cross. What does carrying our cross entail? And how can such a task lead to glory? Join us today as we study Matthew 16:21-28, Mark 8:31-9:1, and Luke 9:22-27.

Ask yourself, "Do I really believe that God uses all things to work together for my good?"   My answer, sisters, is YES! God uses EVERYTHING. Nothing is wasted by God because God uses even the waste that we want to discard to make His greatest masterpiece of our lives. Tragedy is a by-product of loss, destruction, dismantling, and toxicity. However, it is also God's opportunity to show us His faithfulness. I am of the belief that if we stopped, paused, and looked at many of the things we have overcome, even those that were tragic, we would see that God used each situation in ways we could have never imagined. Today, Dr. Jia charges you to declare, "God, use my tragedy!" And then watch God work!

Do you understand the power of your praise? Praise and prayer open the realms of kingdom alignment and conversation with God. There is power not just in our prayers before the Lord, but in the praise and thanksgiving that we attach to them. I am wondering if anyone has a PRAISE THAT THEY GOTTA GET OUT! I dare you to praise God and believe that your praise is about to release the exceeding of God all over your life!

Where does the leader find rest? Where does the leader settle into a place of trust when the spirit is stretched and the load of life seems larger than she can bear?

In the secret place of ABBA, He levels us up to be the strength for everything and all things that he has equipped us to. In the belly of Psalm 91, God reminds us that there is a safety in His presence and His presence alone.

The Good Shepherd leads us to a place of stillness and good pasture! We just have to stay focused!

We chat about pressing in to touch His garment, allowing us to "press in" and "persevere" and get through the many challenges we face in life.

How often do we "reach" for something important, only to be distracted and taken off our focus? All too often, distractions can lead us far off the course God intends for our lives.   Today's guest, Donna Sawyer,  founder of Crafted With Purpose, shares her story and teaching about the word "REACH" and how it is an instrumental word to keep in the forefront of moving forward with God.
