How Desperate Are You?

How desperate are you? Are you willing to get rid of all that is hindering you, and run to JESUS? Bartimaeus' story tells how he Heard, Responded, Resisted, Persisted, Received and he Followed. He took action and didn't just sit on the side of the road expecting something would change for him. When Jesus asked Him what he wanted Him to do for him, at great cost and challenging religion, Bartemaeus pursued Jesus. And Jesus called for Him, and his faith healed him. Jesus is looking for some Bartemauses. Will you pursue Jesus no matter the cost?

Behold The Beauty of Jesus

Do we become what we behold? Does it matter what we behold? The biblical principle is that we can either be full of light or full of darkness, and in some way it correlates with our eyes. Our eyes are a gate to the garden soil of our heart. What we let in can take root and produce a harvest. Whatever is put into our heart is magnified. If you want to behold and magnify Jesus, He's found in the Word - the Bible. He is the Word made flesh, and the more we behold Him, the more we become like Him. What are you beholding today?

Making Sense of The MORE

June 27, 2021 • Chris Pollard

What does it mean to have MORE of God? What does MORE look like? Getting more of God in your life will require greater pursuit after the nature, character and quality of the person of Jesus. You must be willing to pay the cost of becoming less so that God can become more in your life. Sometimes you have to think differently than your current surroundings, even if it looks foolish and if there is opposition. The MORE you get of God - the less everything else becomes, and the more He exposes your heart.

After God's Heart

June 20, 2021

What does it mean to be a person after God's own heart? And am I one? Can I be one? God's eyes are going to-and-fro looking for someone whose heart is after His, and He's going to show Himself strong on their behalf. Saul didn't make the cut, only because his heart wasn't after and pursuing God's heart. God FOUND David with a heart after Him amongst the sheep, playing the harp and worshiping God. Whose heart are you after?
