All In

Video Illustration

Produced by Pixel Preacher

One of the most difficult struggles as a believer is to give yourself over to God’s will 100%. We are surrounded by the things of this world telling us that we must indulge in order for us to truly enjoy living. Much like Jesus was tempted by Satan in the desert, we have to consistently battle with our sin nature so that we don’t turn our backs on God. How do we do that? Jesus said that he has come so that we may have life and have it to the fullest. Are we going to lay down our struggles, our past, our shortcomings—and trust God with everything we got? Are we all in?

Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11

Easter

Video Illustration

Produced by Pixel Preacher

Our world was lost to sin for many years. People were broken and empty. But throughout scripture a promise was made of a Savior that would conquer sin and bring salvation. That promise was fulfilled through Jesus Christ. God sacrificed His son so that we may have freedom from sin. Jesus was crucified and buried in a tomb for three days. But rose to life on that third day. We know this turning point in history as Easter. Salvation through Jesus Christ is not possible without the resurrection.

Emotions

Video Illustration

Produced by Pixel Preacher

We all have them. Anger, Happiness, Anxiety, Guilt, Lust and the list goes on. But when confronted with these emotions, how should we deal with them? Do we let them manage us or do we manage them? Anger can cause us to act out against what God wants us to do. Lust, Anxiety and the like can make us vulnerable to our sinful nature. The Bible says we are to be controlled by the Holy Spirit, not our emotions.

For Better Or Worse

Marriage is one of the hardest commitments we will ever make in our lives. Society is teaching us that divorce is an easy out, but the Bible says otherwise. Marriage is a sacred bond and should never be treated lightly. When we take our vows, we commit to our spouse for better or worse. Do we really mean it?

The Holy Spirit

Produced by Pixel Preacher

Following the Gospels, Jesus made it very clear that God will send a helper for us. This helper is the Holy Spirit. But many of us have a hard time grasping what the Holy Spirit really is. We understand that the Holy Spirit is a part of the Holy Trinity, but what does that mean? Where did the Holy Spirit come from? Is it always with me? How does it help?

Our Imperfect Family

Produced by Pixel Preacher

You’re not perfect....and that’s ok. We live in a world where everyone can create assumptions on your life based on the perception you give, especially through social media. This can be detrimental to relationships, marriages and families. Who says we have to have all of our ducks in a row? We are all in this imperfect world together and no one has it all together. Amidst all of our shortcomings, God lays out in scripture, life-changing principles for having a strong foundation for your family. So stop being so hard on yourself. Listen and learn from what God has taught us.

Joshua: Strong And Courageous

Video Illustration

Produced by Pixel Preacher

One of the great stories in scripture is that of Joshua. Joshua was called by God to lead the Israelite’s to freedom. It’s a story or leadership, courage and faith that we can apply to our lives today. Joshua put his faith in God, that He would guide them in taking new territories, crossing the Jordan River and conquering Jericho. A plan that seemed impossible, Joshua trusted God that he would be victorious. Joshua’s men marched for seven days with the Ark of the Covenant and on the seventh day, they blew their trumpets and the walls came down.

Like Me

Video Illustration

Produced by Pixel Preacher

We have been trained by culture that we must find our value by our online presence. So we post the best pictures, stories, and moments of our lives for others to see. We get a rush when others like our photos or leave comments. Why is that? Are we finding our acceptance in the wrong places? Are we finding worth in all of the wrong places? How do we avoid getting sucked into the demand for likes and find our truth worth in our Creator? Can social media be a good thing? How can we avoid it owning our lives?

Living Water

Video Illustration

Produced by Pixel Preacher

We often take for granted the necessity of having a constant thirst for Jesus’ love. Being thirsty for God seems easy, but often because of sin, we don’t recognize the need for reconciliation. Often we turn to satisfy it in wrong ways, but Jesus still extends the invitation for you to satisfy your thirst through him. This stunning opener is to set the tone for a powerful reminder on how the church and it’s members should turn to flowing Living waters of Jesus. Use as an opener for worship or before a teaching.
