Have you overestimated your ability to fight off something wrong, and now you're in a place you don't want to be? It's probably because you didn't do the work to create boundaries in your life, and if you don't have them, what's stopping you from messing everything up?
Are you in a cycle of temptation that you can't seem to break? It can be frustrating when you try so hard only to mess up again.
In this message, Pastor Lance delivered a powerful message on why and how to create boundaries using a three-step process. Why wrestle with going too far and crossing a boundary in the future that you have the power to eliminate today?
Guard Your Heart
January 21, 2024 • Pastor Lance Bradley
Hard times in your life can take you off course in the wrong direction. That is where God's people found themselves during Haggai's time. They were under attack, discouraged, didn't see progress, and left wondering if obeying God was worth the work.
One thing that keeps us on the right course is having the right heart. When things go wrong with your heart, things won't be right in your life.
That's why having spiritual boundaries and setting limits is so important. They create space in your heart for God to work.
How can you have the right heart? Pastor Lance talks about that in this message.
We pray God uses this message in your life.
We Need Boundaries
January 14, 2024 • Pastor Lance Bradley
In this message, Pastor Lance shared that if you don't have boundaries in your life, then what is the difference between your life before Christ and your life now? Spiritual boundaries define who you are after Jesus saves you.
We need to establish boundaries instead of living as though there are no limits. We need them when it comes to our marriage, how we talk, what we listen to, what we allow our minds to think, and how we treat people, to name a few.
Not having boundaries can lead to damaged relationships, addictions, loads of guilt, and shame. Boundaries help us and save us from hardship.
So, why do we avoid setting boundaries for ourselves? Pastor Lance explores why in this message.
Do some things come to mind where you are neglecting or resisting God's boundaries? Now that you have an awareness pray specifically about what boundaries you need to set, then be strong and do the work.
First Things First
January 7, 2024 • Pastor Lance Bradley
Do you find yourself delaying important tasks and engaging in other activities that are less important at the moment? This habit is known as procrastination, and we usually do it because we tend to think, "Why work on something now when I can do it later?"
The problem is that procrastination comes with a cost. It can lead to missed opportunities, unmet goals, poor grades, and increased stress. Whatever you don't do today, you are less likely to do tomorrow. And for many, that is where they are spiritually. They've put their relationship with God off so much that it's almost nonexistent. That's called misplaced priorities.
In this message, Pastor Lance begins a series to help us align our priorities with God's.
