Childlike - Week Three - A Bridge not a Barrier

The Staggering Significance of a Single Step

The victory God has promised begins with your step of faith. "The priests will carry the Ark of the Lord, the Master of the whole world, into the Jordan ahead of you. When they step into the water, it will stop....” ‭‭Joshua‬ ‭3‬:‭913‬ ‭NCV‬‬ Step in first then the waters will stop. God is telling you to get your feet wet! Walk in victory before you have see the victory. In the landscape of your life right now — what area is God asking you to take a single step?

Childlike - Week Three - A Bridge not a Barrier

In this final message of our Childlike series, we are challenged to love what our Heavenly Father loves and hate what He hates. To be a bridge for people to get to Jesus instead of a barrier. Jesus uses a child as an illustration regarding the Kingdom of God and then concludes by charging His Disciples (including me and you) to take responsibility for protecting innocence in the next generation and in our own lives. Satan is actively assaulting innocence and there is a call for men, fathers, and anyone who bears the Name of Jesus to activate, lift up their voice in prayer, and claim the promises of God over those under their purview. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ AMP 13 Then little children were brought to Jesus, that He might put His hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14 But He said, Leave the children alone! Allow the little ones to come to Me, and do not forbid or restrain or hinder them, for of such [as these] is the kingdom of heaven composed.

Childlike - Week 2 - Less not More

You must be “Child-like” to receive what God has planned for you. Matthew 18:1-4 NKJV [1] At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” [2] Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, [3] and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. [4] Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. You don't need more. You need less. Less striving. Less performing. Less protecting. You don't have to figure it all out. You don't have to earn your place. You don't have to know more than everyone in the room. You just have to come humbly before your heavenly Father. Come like a child.

Childlike - Week 1 - Accessing the Kingdom

You must be “Child-like” to receive what God has planned for you. Matthew 18:1-3 NKJV [1] At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” [2] Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, [3] and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus didn't say "unless you be convinced." He said "unless you be converted." He is looking for you. Not your résumé. Not your track record. Not your impressive theology. You. Humble. Open. Hungry. Trusting your Father. Come like a child.

More Than a Moment

"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. " John 15:4 Abide. Stay. Stick around. Don't just pass through. Jesus is looking for more than a moment with you. This message addresses: * Who vs. Do * Relational vs. Transactional * God wants to be close * Abiding in a wilderness season
