Rooted for Life Pt 1 - Grow Up, Not Old - P. Josiah

In part one of this series, “Rooted for life” pastor Josiah explains that every seedling already has the DNA they need to thrive and flourish - but if it never gets a chance to mature, it will grow old but never grow up. Just like that seedling, we too need to mature. So how do we do that? CCLI streaming license: 20441918

In part two of the series, Pastor Josiah reveals that whenever you have people there is going to be friction in the differences; But God can use this very thing to refine us. as Iron sharpens iron so does a friend sharpen a friend. The thing about sharpening iron, you need proximity to be able to do it. When we are planted in a community - it is built in closeness - and what does that do, creates proximity to be sharpened.

Pentecost Sunday: The Ministry of the Holy Spirit - P. Joel Sims

Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? So many in the Church today have never received the Holy Spirit; The holy spirit is the power of God, and you can have all the activities, and studies and schedules, but if He isn't there, there's no power. -If you have no power, it’s not going to work. Jesus didn’t demonstrate any miracles or power until He received the Holy Spirit. He stepped into power and his life was changed forever. CCLI streaming license: 20441918

34:14

Anxious for Nothing, Except... Pt 3 - His Word (a seed) - P. Josiah

In part three of this series, Pastor Josiah explains whenever God moves, He starts with His word (a seed). Although the enemy can come and try to steal the word (seed) with questioning thoughts that create anxiety, we too can speak God's word and declare what He has said to interrupt those thoughts. Intentionality creates a place for us to receive, to then make decisions out of the seed God has placed. CCLI streaming license: 20441918

32:46

Anxious for Nothing, Except... Pt. 4 - Boasting in Advance - P. Josiah

In part four of this series, Pastor Josiah illustrates that anxiety is experiencing failure in advance, which can be a default mode for us. But God has a different way. Praising and thanking God before seeing the end result is experiencing victory in advance. As we boast in the Lord, faith arises in us that moves us forward; Just like David fighting Goliath, because he boasted in the Lord - he then had the faith to run towards the problem instead of away. In everything prayer, but also thanksgiving. CCLI streaming license: 20441918
