What we believe about people will either bring life or death — to them and us. In this teaching, guest speaker, Heidi Mills, teaches on the subjects of vows and judgments and how they invite torment and temptation into our lives. She also walks us through a time of prayer for freedom from the vows and judgments we’ve made.

Anger is not an emotion. It is a response to an emotion being triggered within us. In this teaching, Lacey shares her story of freedom from anger. Also, both Nathan and Lacey respond to questions on the subject of anger.

In this teaching, Nathan co-teaches with Pastor Scott Frerking discussing Psalm 77.1-3 and revealing that as we acknowledge our specific pain and distress, it opens us up to receive specific grace and peace from God. They also share about how the Holy Spirit’s grace is not generic; rather, His grace for each one of us is flavored by each one of our unique needs.

It is impossible to please God without an active demonstration of faith. In this teaching, Nathan discusses Genesis 32:22-32 and reveals that the story of Jacob wrestling with God is about God being genuinely impressed with Jacob. Ultimately, Jacob was blessed by God because he recognized his complete dependence upon Him.

In this teaching, Nathan reveals what self-inflicted mindset led to Cain’s demise and ultimate rejection of God in Genesis 4.1-4. He reveals how our Heavenly Father always pursues us despite our misbelief or disbelief of Him.

In this teaching, Nathan discusses 1 Peter 5.1-14 and reveals that the extent to which we humble ourselves before God and sacrificially serve others (deny ourselves) directly affects our ability to resist the enemy.

In this teaching, Nathan discusses Ephesians 3.1-21 and the two reasons Jesus may not be comfortable around you. He also reveals what you can do to make Jesus more at home in your heart.

We all have expectations (“rules”) for other people. In this teaching, Nathan looks at Acts 10:1-11:18 — Peter’s dream of eating unclean animals and the invitation to visit an unclean home — and how God will often call us to break our rules for the sake of someone else’s freedom.
