Snitches Get Stitches // Damaged But Not Destroyed (Part 1) // Michael Todd
Oct 01, 2023
Show notes
In Week 1 of the Damaged but Not Destroyed Series, Pastor Mike challenges a common cultural belief that discourages honesty, suggesting that those who speak the truth might suffer harm. Drawing on the childhood saying, "Snitches get stitches," he encourages a different perspective. This message will cause you to reframe this idea, emphasizing that when we are honest and transparent about our shortcomings, it allows God to bring healing to the areas where we've fallen apart. He reminds us that God doesn't bless who we pretend to be but who we really are. We pray this message gives you the courage you need to honestly share where you are so that Jesus can come and make you whole.

From The Window To The Fall // Robert Madu
Sep 03, 2023
Show notes
Could it be possible that we don’t always know when we are spiritually asleep? Pastor Robert Madu walked us through the story of Eutychus falling from a window during one of Apostle Paul's teachings. Not only does this story show us the danger of sitting near open windows (symbolizing exposure to sin), it shows us that we need people in our lives who will nudge us when we get weary. We pray that you have community in your life that can identify signs that you’ve become spiritually sleepy and that they help awaken you and reposition you to avoid falling into sin.

We pray this message helps you connect or re-connect with the power of God so that you can walk confidently in your purpose.

The enemy's biggest goal is to use SHAME to convince REBELS that they are REGULAR so they end up RETREATING. Allow this message to ignite your faith, remove shame from your name and follow the greatest rebel we know, Jesus. You were created with the purpose & the power to stand up and stand out!
