Being Transparent

“One of the things that keeps coming across my spirit is how limited the time is—even if the Lord doesn’t come back in the next few years, like so many people seem to think He is—our time on this planet is still limited. We’re not here for eternity. We have a short time here. And while we’re here, God’s got good plans and purposes for us; but are we walking in them? Our goal is to prepare ourselves to have our hearts continually ready so that we can be used by Him at any time: whether that’s in the doctor's office; whether that’s at Walmart; wherever you are. Where He can pick you to use you at any given moment, for our hearts to be right before Him, for us to be in that ever-state of preparation; and so, we’ll look at it a little bit today.”

Pastor JoAnn shares the benefits of a transparent lifestyle in Jesus Christ.

First Fruits

“It’s not a word that you hear a lot in the Christian community. I am not trying to tell you that we fall under the Law, and that this is a law and mandate—I’m not trying to tell you that. I’m just going to give you some teachings about first fruits, and I think the heart of it still is God’s heart.”
