Henry Seeley - This is How I Fight My Battles
In this week's episode of Fearless podcast, we hear Pastor Henry Seeley share his message titled, "This is How I Fight My Battles!" He speaks on the enemy’s tactics to destroy us, the Lord's plan to protect us and how we can overcome through the power of the Holy Spirit. Staying in God's presence activates His Spirit to move on our behalf in a deeper way. The enemy will use anything and anyone to distract us, destroy us and get us off track. He will bring every plan from A to Z to break us when we are in the cusp of breakthrough. God is wanting to fight on our behalf, but are we willing to trust His hand to take control of our personal situations? He will lead, protect us and set Himself up as a wall between us and that which is set to destroy us. He is waiting on us to make room for Him in our lives. Like the air, He is not visible, but always present. We cannot see Him with our eyes, but God is always at work. While the enemy is breathing down our necks, God's presence is covering us when we choose to abide. The enemy will take every opportunity to speak negatively into our lives, chase us and weigh us down. God wants us to come up higher by abiding in His presence. This allows Him to address the issues in our life. He has a better way, but He is waiting for us to respond with a “yes”. Let's dig into this inspiring message on God's loving hand.

Jeremy Johnson - Family Values - Prayer is Our Source
When we give our lives to Jesus, we now have another relationship to cultivate and learn how to navigate. Luckily, we have the Bible that guides us through this relationship! In this week’s podcast, Pastor Jeremy Johnson dives into a new Family Value, “Prayer is Our Source”. To have a deep intimate relationship with God, our source HAS to be PRAYER! When we walk through trials, we have a CHOICE how to respond. We can choose to let our feelings like fear, anxiety, and depression rule us, or we can take hold of PEACE. Prayer is the only way to release the supernatural power of God in your life! If you want to see miracles happen in your lifetime, you MUST learn how to tap into this source of prayer! Whatever you’re walking through this week, we pray this podcast gives you the tools to pray like you’ve never prayed before!

Pat Schatzline - Restore the Priestly Kings
On this week's episode from Fearless LA, guest speaker, Pastor Pat Schatzline shares his message titled “Restore the Priestly Kings”. There has long been a separation between the call to be a king and priest within the bible and modern day church, or has there? Pastor Pat clears up common misconceptions about what it means to be called to business or ministry and the fine line in between. There are differences between the mantles of a king and priest. However, through the word we see several people who served as a king and priest including King David and Jesus. Could there be a closer connection? During this season, God is birthing opportunities for kingdom entrepreneurs that are also ministers of His love. He wants to give us breakthrough but we must surrender to His process. God wants to remove any orphan mentality we carry inside of us. It is time to remove delays and obstacles from our lives. However, "until the issue of paternity is put to rest, we will always try to live with the wrong family," with the wrong people and in the wrong circles. The issue of paternity has been laid to rest. Jesus died to remove the question and restore us to the Father. He has certain mandates to bring us into freedom and shift us into the life He has promised us through His word. Let's dive in to this incredible, relevant, practical and timely word regarding our personal direction. 1 Thes 5:23 3 John 1:2 1 John 3:1 2 Cor 6:14-15 2 Cor 6:17-18 Rev 1:6 Rev 5:10 1 Peter 2:9 Phil 4:6 Prov 22:29 Hebrews 11:7a NI Acts 16:13-15 Deut 8:18 Matt 19:26 Romans 12:2 Hebrews 11:11 Ps 35:27 Ps 112:1-3 Prov 10:22 Prov 23:4-5 1 Tim 6:10b Malachi 3:10 Matt 6:33 Romans 12:8 Eph 5:3 Ecc 5:18 James 4:8 Matt 18:19 Luke 10:19

Pat Schatzline - Restore the Roar
For this week's impactful message from visiting pastor, Pat Schatzline, he speaks on "Restoring the Roar. " God wants to repair our hopes, passions, dreams and identities to get us back on the path He designed for us. His original blueprint for our lives superseded anything we can ask, think or imagine. God wants to destroy fear in every area of our lives. His heart is to restore identity and power through His presence. God allows our past to become our university for the future. He weaves together all the complexities of our lives to create an intricate story of love and hope. We cannot allow fear to continue robbing us of peace, hope and God given opportunities. He wants to shift the atmosphere of our lives by empowering us. We were born for such a time as this. However, to walk into the God given destiny over our lives, we have to confront fear. This is a pre-requisite for greatness. We have to become fully dependent on Him as our source. We cannot simply rely on our own gifts and talents. His presence and word have to be the fuel to our fire, pushing us forward. We must stop trying to please people and letting their desires dictate our actions. God has a higher plan to lead us in a supernatural anointing. Partnering and agreeing with His thoughts about us is the first step to experiencing this reality. Let's lean in to this week's podcast, and connect to God's heart for our lives.

Christy Johnson - Servanthood is our Position -Stewardship is the Job Description
In this weeks podcast we are blessed to hear from the Lady of the House, Christy Johnson. We are continuing in our series “Family Values” and this value is “Servanthood is our Position”. Servanthood is the highest honor in our walk with the Lord. You’re never going backwards when serving, you’re always moving forward, always advancing! Loving God and serving people are one in the same. So if I truly love God, I will naturally be inclined to serve others! It will not feel like a task. Even if our flesh is tired, serving with rejuvenate our spirit! If servanthood is the job title, than stewardship is the job description. If we’re stewarding our gifts and our talents, we will be using them for the Lord. Whatever you’re going through this week, take a moment to see who you can serve, not so you can be rewarded, but solely because servanthood is our position!

Jeremy Johnson - Family Values Servanthood is our position : Wild God
Every family has values that they stand by in every season. The great thing is that the same applies in God's kingdom! Pastor Jeremy is taking 10 biblical values and breaking them down to build our essential Family Values! This week we journey into the second part of “Servanthood is Our Position”. Pastor Jeremy shared “Anything valuable that you don’t protect will be stolen.” This rings true in our position as servants in the kingdom of God. What an honor it is to take our rightful place as a servant in the kings house! “Serving removes boundaries from God and puts boundaries on everything else." Have you ever put boundaries around God? We never practice this intentionally, but we all have done this. Many times we put boundaries around God. This allows fear, lies, and anxiety run rampant yet we still expect God to meet us in our man-made boundaries. I wonder if the boundaries we put on God in our finances, family, work, school, dreams and more is impeding the true breakthrough we could experience. If we let God truly run wild in our lives, what would it look like?! What if we could give God the freedom to do as He pleases. We should submit our time, talent and treasure back into the kingdom. He can do more in what we’re putting boundaries around than what we could ask, think or imagine. Challenge yourself this week to let go of your boundaries in order to make room for a miracle only God could make happen.

Jeremy Johnson - Family Values - Servanthood is Our Position
In this weeks powerful message, we continue with our “Family Values”. Today we dive into the value of “Servanthood is our Position”. When you serve God, serve God with your house and all that is in it. Don’t just serve God alone, serve Him with everything you have authority over; family, finances, body, mind, time, attitude. When serving, we have to serve with passion! Serving is not a threat, it is a thrill. It is not a task or mundane, it is extraordinary and an HONOR and a privilege. Serving God is an opportunity. It’s a chance for God to LOVE you, not God NEEDING you. God doesn’t need what you have to offer because what you have to offer is already His. He wants your HEART. Wherever you’re at this week, we pray you catch on to this value, and that it seriously enriches your life!

Jeremy Johnson - Family Values - Jesus is King And Honor is my Privilege
This week, Pastor Jeremy returns with a focus on our foundational Family Values - Honor is Our Privelege. He shares on the importance of honoring others regardless of outward appearance, circumstances or behavior. Honor is one of the few things we cannot place on ourselves. It is something we have the privelege of putting on others and on God. While people may not always deserve it because of their value to God, we honor them. Many times this can be difficult. If we remember who Christ is and our encounters with Him, we will bestow honor even on the undeserving. We hold the understanding that love and honor are possible because of His work on the cross and not our human ability. The most important thing we will do after surrendering to Christ, is honoring Him. Our lives may not always look picture perfect. The way we honor Him in those moments is indicative of our true heart towards Him. We must make a habit of cultivating honor for our king, savior and maker daily; regardless of whether or not things are going our way. This life will bring us a variety of good and bad. We must have an ability to keep our eyes and focus on Jesus at all times. It is often when we are running hardest after Christ that we will lose our vision. It is only through life changing encounter and continually affixing value on Him that we are able to finish this race. Our hearts first have to be girded in honor for Him and his children, both lost and found. Let's lean in and glean wisdom from this challenging message.

Jeremy Johnson - Family Values - Honor is Our Privilege
As of late, we have been living In our prayers! If you haven’t heard, we got a building and we are so thrilled and expectant for what God has for this house! As we continue to learn our family values, Pastor Jeremy introduces us to “Honor Is our Privilege”. Pastor Jeremy abridged 2 Chronicles 7:1 and looked at how Solomon built God's temple with honor. They sacrificed bulls, sheep, and goats just to honor the lord in modern times this was equivalent to millions of dollars today. Insane right? Although sacrificing was the norm god was calling them to ultimately walk in obedience. “Honor is a gift that was made to clothe each other in” in that same way we were meant to honor one another, we were also meant to honor God to a higher with regard. Pastor Jeremy gives us a look at how we can do that with God. This week, How will you honor God? Will it be with your time? Will It be with your Finances? Will it be with your relationships? What does that look like for you? “ Scripture References: 2 Chronicles 7 1-16 (NKJV) 1 Kings 8:10-13

Jeremy Johnson - Family Values - People Are Our Passion
We are continuing to dive into our Family Values as a church. In this week's incredible message from our Lead Pastor, Jeremy Johnson, we lean into the value “People Are Our Passion”. At Fearless, we truly believe in family. We cherish the importance of being deeply and truly rooted in the God's house and into one another as family. Through trials, storms, valleys and mountains; we understand that we were not created to be isolated! No man is an island. If we want the fullness of God, we cannot do this life alone. The Lord wants us to commit to family. It is time to begin investing into the body of Christ. We know it brings Jesus joy when we establish our loyalty not only to Him, but also His church. We must give to one another; whether it be our love, time, or physical resources. You can give without loving, but you can not love without giving! Our commitment to love Jesus is a commitment to love His bride; even when we have been hurt in the past. Wherever you are in life, we are believing for you to find your family and tribe. Jesus desires for us to thrive in life giving community. This will enable you to run full force into the God call on your life; lifting each other's hands in celebration!

Jeremy Johnson - Family Values - Family is Our Commitment
This week, Pastor Jeremy is back with another one of our core Family Values - Family is Our Commitment. He shares on the importance of community and covenant. There are differences between religion and Jesus. Many believe actions speak louder than words, but the Lord is looking for the intentions behind our actions. The things we do should not reflect dead religion only practiced once a week. We carry Jesus in our hearts, and into everything we do, daily. Pleasing Him should be our primary motivation. It will lead us to the right doors, places and people. We must "hold values that keep us steady through the waves of life." One of Jesus’ clearest values was family. He left heaven to "rescue an orphaned humanity and to restore us to relationship with the Father and each other". Time and time again, Jesus is seen choosing community over religious opinions. He desires for us to value people and relationships with the same measure and urgency. The first church was not only devoted to knowing the Lord and the word, but to living life together in community. It is through community that we are sharpened, loved and grown in ways that impact our destiny. Too many people have forsaken community for self-preservation. We have forgotten that Jesus’ primary earthly mission was to restore lost sons and daughters to Himself. Although people are imperfect and may hurt us, Jesus wants us to be committed to cultivating daily fellowship with others in the body. He did not sacrifice His life for us to be filled with His Holy Spirit but reject His people. He wants us to renew our commitment to Him through relationship with each other. Jesus is pleased when we lay down our past hurt and choose to thrive in covenant relationships. Let's lean in to this week's lesson on love and family.

Family Values - Jesus is our Pursuit
This week, we get to experience an incredible compilation of messages on one of our core Family Values: Jesus is Our Pursuit. Pastor's David Turner, Dalisha Munton and Rich Munton shared complementary messages on pursuing Jesus, our first love and the depth of his love for us. Most people are busy pursuing happiness but Jesus has set His heart on pursuing us. While "happiness is as fleeting as the wind, never delivering on its promises", Jesus is always faithful and has promised to abide with us. His relentless pursuit gives us perspective on the true meaning of happiness. In all our endeavors, we must be mindful to set our affections on Him. Stoke the fire and abide in Him as He abides in us. When we have done all that we can do, pursuing Christ and waiting on His promises, we must continue to stand firm. Satisfaction can only be found through Him. Seeing how Jesus continues to pursue us should quicken us to prioritize pursuing Him. Let's listen in on this week's stirring message.

In this week's episode, Family Values - Jesus is Our Pursuit, we learn about God's blueprint for our lives. Pastor Jeremy shares on the importance of seeking God's face and how it impacts the fulfillment of our destiny. God desires to build something incredible with our lives. During the seasons of construction, it may seem like there isn't really a plan. However, God has a blueprint for each of our lives. We have to trust the promise that He desires to prosper us to give us a hope and a future. Many times in seeking His hand, we miss His face. We forget that anything other than Him will never be enough to satisfy our hearts. He wants to show us what it truly means to live so we can have the abundant life He promised. We must get back to the basics of abiding in Him. Scripture References: Jeremiah 29:11-13 Philippians 3:7-12 NIV Revelation 2:4 NLT Philippians 3:7-12 NIV Matthew 16:24-26 NLT

Jeremy Johnson - Born for Greatness - Worship Dismantles Division
In this weeks sermon, our lead Pastor Jeremy Johnson dives deeper into the value of “Worship is our weapon,” and gets us to look at the other ways in which worship is present and valuable in our lives. At Fearless LA, we’ve set out to follow our values as set by our leaders and really make sure our Fearless family understands what those are before we can walk into our promise. Just like the first church, we needed to set out what we stand for before we can truly move past the surface level interactions of religion and move into relationship with God and with others. Last week, we learned about worship as our promotion and how it is the highest honor we have to lead worship on Earth as it is in Heaven. This week, we look at how worship dismantles division. Pastor Jeremy uses an instrument to illustrate the uniqueness of each string’s sound, that separately is recognized as pure sound, still important, still valuable. But when these sounds come together, they create beautiful harmonies. Just as music comes together, so are we meant to come together to stir up one another to worship, to love. As iron sharpens iron, so must we sharpen one another to push past praise and worship God when it’s not all working out, truly using our worship as our weapon to combat the midnight and push on till morning. Hebrews 10: 20-25

Guess what ?! You’ve been promoted ! To what you may ask ? It may sound crazy but you are now the worship leader of heaven itself ! In this weeks Podcast, our Lead Pastor , Jeremy Johnson, takes a closer look on worship. As he brings us deeper on this mind blowing topic of worship, we find out our new position and promotion is to be a worshiper. Before the enemy, Lucifer, fell from heaven; he was actually a worship leader himself. As pride and self promotion came, he was booted out of heaven. This left the position of lead worshippers of heaven open. God took us, beings made of dirt, something so low to be seated at the right hand of God. All this to show that He can use anything to worship Him. He made us as intricate vessels able to lead the worship of heaven, right here from earth.

Christy Johnson - Worship is Our Weapon
One of strongest weapons we have is our worship, it calls on the power of God when we are in our darkest moments. Worship is so important that this week Pastor Christy gave us a different perspective on it, getting us to dig deeper and understand how much value it holds in our lives. Have you ever worshipped when everything seemed to be going wrong? How hard was it to lift your hands in the middle of the night? Can you still praise God even when he hasn’t answered yet? Sometimes we have to learn to worship God through the “I don’t want to right now” or in the “I don’t see how this is going to change” and fight for a hallelujah when we haven’t seen the promise come to pass yet. Imagine that one more praise, that one more worship being the one that leads to the breakthrough. At FearlessLA we worship in the midnight, beyond understanding, fearlessly, trusting that God is faithful because we know what he’s done before and can do it again. The articulation of our words in praise to God delights HIS heart, when we take our time to find our own words to thank God, the words that come from our spirit. There is something so beautiful about hearing it from your mouth, no one can worship for you. Listen in on our Seven Reasons on Why We Worship and let these words pour into your life, opening the door to a closer relationship with God! 2 Chronicles 20:1

In this week’s podcast, we are continuing to dive deeper into one of our core values, “Worship is Our Weapon”. Pastor Jeremy Johnson breaks down the difference between our praise to God and our worship to God. Praise is free; it’s easy to praise because it means we have something to thank Him for after a victory. Worship is a sacrifice; it is honoring God for who He is, not what He can or will do for us. We believe that in any situation we’re walking through, we can stop and give God all of the honor through our worship! Scripture References: Jeremiah 29:11 (ESV) 1 Peter 2:9 (ESV) 2 Corinthians 3:17

Have you ever experienced a time where nothing in life seemed to be going right? When you had a pile of problems and no foreseeable solution? When the walls felt as if they were caving in and anxiety and fear were knocking on your door? In this weeks sermon, our lead Pastor, Jeremy Johnson dives deeper into one of our core values, “Worship Is Our Weapon”. Just as Paul and Silas worshiped in prison, so must we worship in the midnights of our lives. When you can worship in the midst of a terrible situation, freedom is yours. Giving God praise for the victory already won stirs the spirit and calls on the strength of the Lord. Not only does our worship break us free but helps set others around us free. Who are the people around you that may need freedom? Is it a family member or a co-worker? As you listen to this week's podcast we hope that this message blesses you and encourages you to use worship as a weapon in the midst of life’s situations. Acts 16:16-39

Jeremy Johnson - Born for Greatness: Wisdom
In this week's sermon, Pastor Jeremy Johnson shares on the meaning and purpose of wisdom. What is it? How do we get it? How do we live it out? How does it impact our decisions? Humbling yourself before the Lord is the beginning of growing wiser. God takes untrained, unschooled, ordinary men and women, fills them with wisdom and brings them before kings. Wisdom is given within, each person gaining more of it as they walk with God, it's knowledge lived out, one decision at a time. God wants to increase our wisdom to be so influential that we impact nations reminding them of the love of God. Go obediently into your daily life, putting God first, exchange your distrust for trust and walk out the wisdom given unto you. It is not about gaining more knowledge for the sake of having knowledge. We need to live out the knowledge that we have. New wisdom is walking in old knowledge. We were placed by God, strategically in this moment of time, for such a time as this. He wants us to use our faith to live an impactful, supernatural life.

Jeremy Johnson - Adulting: 7th Hour
This week of Pastor Jeremy’s “Adulting” series focuses on an important part of our walk with God, the in between. The journey, the road still being traveled on as we move through the seasons of life. But just as the Roman official came to a moment in his life where he humbled himself before God to ask for healing for his son and went on his way taking God at his word that his son was healed. So must we, remain vigilant in trusting the word God gave us about our own lives. What happens when we’re in the midnight section of the in between? When that word is hard to hold strong too? Or when the voices in your head make you question what you once heard so clearly? It is here that God searches your heart for rocks, things that may be blocking the seeds He wants to plant in the good soil of your heart. Listen in on how to find God’s strength in the in between and know that God will bring what HE said to pass, especially in the seventh hour.

Christy Johnson - Adulting - Say So
On this week's podcast, Pastor Christy Johnson, Mother of the House, dives deeper on this sermon series “Adulting”. 1 Corinthians 13:11 ESV says “When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.” This week, we got to dissect the truth on childlike speech. Through this podcast, we find out that childlike speech not only effects others but can effect yourself and how you speak to yourself. Have you ever had childlike speech with yourself? Or even others? “Crucify your complaints and guard your gratitude.” Sometimes, our complaints overshadow the blessings that we have been praying for. To combat it, guard your gratitude and allow yourself to have a perspective shift. In this life-giving message, we hope this matures your speaking and aids you along the path of adult speaking and maturity in the kingdom.

Jeremy Johnson - Adulting - When God’s Asleep
Have you ever felt like God seemed distant? Have you ever felt like He doesn’t hear you? Or maybe you felt like He was asleep when you were in a crisis? In this message, Ps. Jeremy Johnson, Lead Pastor of Fearless LA, unpacks the idea that even in the midst of the greatest storm, God is with you and has never left. The disciples learned this lesson when they went out to sea in the midst of a storm while Jesus rested on the boat. We sometimes forget that Jesus is still with us because the storms of life are crashing into our boat, causing it to flood. But Jesus is still there. He may be silent, but He is never absent. You may be going through a storm and think you are going to sink. But, fear not! Jesus is there with you, and if He is so calm that He can sleep through a storm, why should you fear? Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 13:11 (ASV) Mark 4:35-41 (NLT) Matthew 8:23-27 (NLT)

Jeremy Johnson - Adulting: In My Feels
Ever made a decision based on how you felt? In this week's latest addition to the Adulting series, “In my Feelings”, Pastor Jeremy Johnson preaches on the connection between our emotions, the flesh and the spirit within. God doesn’t just bring the dead to life, when you receive Jesus, his spirit then lives within you in exchange for your sin. But no life grows without challenges and in those pits it’s easy to let our emotions take over. Emotions are inherently fickle, changing from one moment to the next. If we wait till we “feel” like following Jesus, how might we be delaying the God call on our lives? Why make life changing decisions based on fickle feelings? God is with you always! Inside the body lies the spirit, a direct connection to God at all times. Getting into relationship with Jesus allows this spirit to mature and become in control of our emotions. Our decision to trust in Gods truth through the living word give us guidance through our spirit to live out our purpose. Develop a relationship with God and watch your spirit take hold of unruly emotions bringing forth a bounty of blessings!

Jeremy Johnson - Adulting: childISH vs. childLIKE
Growing up in our physical body is tough; we out grow our clothes, we out grow our beds and at the same time we might assume that our spirit grows with that. But just as a child has to eat the food off their parent’s plates before they can prepare their own, we also need to feed our spirit in growing in relationship with God. Feeding that hunger in the spirit as you go through the growth spurts along the way. In this second sermon of the series, Pastor Jeremy walks us through the "growing pains" of maturing in our spirit and shares how adulthood isn't a result of time but is rather a decision to mature in our spirit. When we were children, we thought like children and it was right for that season. But, as you grow you must shed childish things and let God show you what it means to ADULT in your speech, feelings and thoughts. What could be possible for you and I if we found ourselves more and more in the presence of God? What could we learn and change in our life if we sought first the kingdom and acted with LOVE? Adulting in our spirit leads to more decisions made in love, bettering our thoughts, our actions and exchanging childish ways for gifts found in the presence of God. Hear how God can transform your life and take you from glory to glory while we grow into spiritual giants. 1 Corinthians 13:11 1 Corinthians 13:4

Jeremy Johnson - Adulting: Think Like an Adult
What comes to mind when you think of the word “adult?” Taxes? Children? Doctor’s appointments? Buying a house or a car? These are all things that we pair with becoming an adult in society. But, as we all know, God sees things differently. He has a different idea for how to “adult” in life, and Pastor Jeremy Johnson, Lead Pastor of Fearless LA, begins to break down this thought in a brand new series, named “Adulting.” In the first sermon of this new series, Pastor Jeremy breaks down what it means to “adult” in the Kingdom of God. Paul talks about how we must put away childish things as we grow and mature in Christ, beginning with our thoughts. Our minds are childish and immature by nature, and some people unfortunately never grow out of this way of thinking. But when we renew our mind daily, intaking what God has in store for us through His Word, our perspectives change and our thoughts become mature. This gives us the first steps we need to live an adult, Christian life. Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 13:11 Philippians 4:8 Romans 12:2 Ephesians 6:10

Jeremy Johnson - Royal - Surrounded
This Sunday, we had our very own Pastor Jeremy Johnson preach another fantastic message as part of our Royal series at Fearless LA! Everyone of us has missed the mark at some point or another. Thankfully, Christ's crucifixion gives us the redemption we long for. We no longer live for us, but it is Christ who resides within each one of us. There's a reason why the early followers of Jesus were called Christians (Little Christs). We are no longer just living for God under the law, but AS christ. As a result, our thinking has to be transformed. We are SURROUNDED by God's presence. A presence that cannot be compared to the earthly things around us - which provide a false identity. Earthly happiness is fleeting, but JOY through Christ is immeasurable. We often can become scared of showing people the real us. The fear, shame, and guilt that we tend to suppress. Jesus took these things to the cross but WE have to mentally train ourselves to remember this: We are no more sinners; we are saints. Indeed it can hurt when people don't like us or reject us as we mature in our faith. This only confirms the Christ in us! Wherever we go, we carry God's presence with us. Psalm 32 Galatians 2:20 NIV Cor 1:27 NIV 2 Cor 5:17 NIV Heb 12:1-2 NIV Zacharia 2:5 NIV Colossians 3:1-4

Jermey Johnson - Royal: Im Coming out of this but I’m Coming Out Head First
In this week's powerful message, Pastor Jeremy Johnson continues our series ROYAL. We must have our minds right before anything! Your mind determines the direction of your life, what you think about yourself matters. We have to believe before we can have the confidence to walk into our destiny. If you think you can, you’re right. If you think you can’t, you’re right. God does open doors. God also closes doors. Sometimes we can mix those up. We walk through open doors thinking it was God. We stop knocking at closed doors because we feel defeated, thinking it's an attack of the enemy. Be encouraged today knowing that He renews our minds and His mercies! This key will help us to unlock the doors that have been waiting for us to unlock them through His royal authority. Scripture References: Acts 12:1-24 (NIV) Proverbs 23:7 (NIV) Ephesians 3:20-21 (NKJV)

Dalisha Munton - Royalty - Confidence of a King
On this week’s podcast, we continue our series on Royalty. Our wonderful Children's Pastor, Dalisha Munton, shares a powerful message on the incredible authority and power we now have access; because we are royal. Through the sacrifice of the cross, Jesus gave us a new bloodline and royal identity. The old habits, mindsets, and behaviors passed down by ancestors can be replaced through Jesus perfect, healthy lineage. We no longer have to live in sin, bound by comparison, complacency or compromise. Instead we have the opportunity to live a truly royal life which displays confidence, humility and honor. This new royal life is anchored by confidence in Jesus; not by circumstances, possessions or our abilities. It cannot be shaken. It allows us to walk in humility instead of insecurity. We get to celebrate our gifts while recognizing whom our strength comes from, God. Royals create a life of honor by choosing humility in action. We choose to honor people even when they do no deserve it. This royal culture creates an atmosphere ready for miracles. Pastor Dalisha teaches us about the empowerment through Jesus to walk out this royal paradigm. We are encouraged to take back our worship and step into a life of full surrender to Jesus. Scripture References: 1 Peter 2:9 Matthew 29:18-20 1 Peter 1:5-6 Exodus 12:22 James 4:6 Mark 9:35 Proverbs 18:16

David Turner - Royal - Giving God The Pen Back
Every story has one thing in common: an author was involved in the writing process. Each book ever written was created by an author who simply had a story to tell. This is precisely how God treats us with our individual lives. God has amazing storylines and characters in mind for your life today, but how often is it that we try to take the pen away from Him? In our anxiety and fear, we hijack the writing process, thinking that we can write a better story then He can. In this special sermon, David Turner, Youth Pastor of Fearless LA, tackles this subject along with the idea that God is the ultimate authority in our lives. Because of this, God puts people in our lives as authorities to teach us how to serve under them. This allows us to humble ourselves and, in turn, be raised to a position of authority in our own right. Scripture References: Matthew 28:18-20 Matthew 5:14-16 Proverbs 23:7 2 Corinthians 10:5 Psalms 115:16
