Title: The Violence of Rest

Speaker: Pastor Dan Chance

What if rest could be a weapon? In "The Violence of Rest," discover the power of fighting your battles from a place of peace rather than striving. As we take our seat with Christ and trust that the battle belongs to the Lord, we can stand in victory, listen for His Rhema word, and speak what He says with confidence. Just as David faced Goliath knowing the Lord would win the battle, we can rest in the victory God has already secured. The toil is over, God is calling us to increase as we trust Him to fight for us.

What if rest could be a weapon? In "The Violence of Rest," discover the power of fighting your battles from a place of peace rather than striving. As we take our seat with Christ and trust that the battle belongs to the Lord, we can stand in victory, listen for His Rhema word, and speak what He says with confidence. Just as David faced Goliath knowing the Lord would win the battle, we can rest in the victory God has already secured. The toil is over, God is calling us to increase as we trust Him to fight for us.

A good question to ask ourselves is, "Am I striving to make things happen, or am I learning to rest in what God has already done?"

In this message we discover the power of choosing rest over striving, letting go of fear, anxiety, and the pressure to accomplish  things in our own strength. When we rest in God's love, we can walk in peace, overcome the accusations of the enemy, and allow the fruit of the Spirit to flow through our lives as we trust Him to do the deeper work within us. You will enjoy this Rhema word!

Are you striving to do more, or learning to rest in what Christ has already done? In this message, we discover that true rest is not inactivity, but a powerful expression of faith. Like Mary at the feet of Jesus, we are invited to slow down, receive His revelation, and trust that God has already provided everything we need. From a place of rest, we can walk in His joy, peace, and strengh rather than our own. Even in the midst of spiritual warfare, we find ourselves at peace, sitting in heavenly places with Jesus.

What if the root of our struggles isn't our behavior, but the beliefs we have about ourselves? In "The Root of it ALL," Pastor Dan reveals how false identities rooted in fear, shame, pride, and lack can keep us from experiencing the life God intended. Through Christ, our minds can be renewed and our orphan identity repaced with one of belonging, faith, wholeness, and abundance as we learn to live from the tree of Life.

What does it mean to be grace-ified? In this message, we discover how God's grace and truth work togerher to transform us.   Grace meets us in our weakness, failures, and imperfections, reminding us that we are not defined by what is wrong with us, but by how God sees us. Through the story of Matthew and Pauls testimony of God's sufficient grace, we are encouraged to stop beating ourselves up, and begin focusing on the grace that is already empowering us to become what God designed us to be.

When was the last time you could truly say you were walking in God's peace? God's peace gives us focus, strength, direction, and hope in our everday lives. In this message, Cheryl Slagle lays out a Bible-based timeline of how God has had a plan from the very beginning of time. Through His plan, we can see how God has been working throughout history to bring us into a place of peace, purpose, and hope.  As we understand His plan, we can walk confidently in the peace He provides along our journey.
