The Importance of an Inner Circle
“It’s the right connections we want to make. It’s the connections where we come together in the Spirit. … It's not who you’re related to. It’s not about who you grew up with. It’s not about the neighbor next door that has always been the neighbor next door. It’s not about those things. ‘Those who do the will of my father, those are the ones that truly are family.’ Those are the ones we’re supposed to begin to connect with, and depend on, and talk to.”
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.
Are You Your Own Worst Enemy?
“Today we’re going to re-look at something that our culture battles us with. It’s not a new teaching, but it’s a very important one, and it’s one of the ones that we let fall along the wayside. … We’re going to start today in Proverbs 18.”
Pastor JoAnn explains the power of one’s tongue: how one’s continual negativity can cause terrible problems in one’s future; and how one’s own disposition and words can carry such power in one’s life.
Christ in You
Pastor JoAnn admits the concept isn’t new, but it is a big and important aspect of Christian life. What does it mean when a Christian says that Jesus is “in” his or her life? Watch this message to learn more.
