ADDICTION. It’s a heart sickness, a broken crutch – something we encounter addiction every day in this ministry. In our new series, we begin grappling with its source.
Addiction is a way of thinking that must change if sobriety and broken sin patterns are going to last.
If you are working to get victory in your behavior, don’t miss this: The critical battle is to change your thoughts.
Addictions cannot be won with earthly weapons. When your first action in the battle is to reach for flesh weapons, the war will soon be lost.
Let’s bring the truth of God’s Word to the chains of addiction, and offer hope to those in its shackles…
Finding Your Identity | Exodus 3

Finding Your Identity in God | Exodus 3

Accepting Acceptance: Welcome Home | 1 John 4:16
It’s time to move from putting off rejection to putting on acceptance.

Forgive Those Who…
What is the primary pain point in your life? Can you put your finger on it?
Know this: suffering with unresolved hurt doesn’t have to become a way of living. In fact, God offers a way through our suffering that is total, immediate, and unilateral…
But the message of the Bible is only life changing if you believe it!

Rejecting Shame (part 2) | Hebrews 12

Rejecting Shame | Genesis 3
What is the opposite of love?
While love fills our souls, uplifts our minds and brings us joy, there is one particular emotion that stands in stark contrast – and this message from Rock Bottom has the answer. If you’re struggling in your spirit with the fallout of your choices, don’t miss it…
Rejecting the voice of Rejection
Genesis 37-40
If you’re stuck where best thinking has got you, it’s time to change your thinking.
God won’t force Himself into your heart, but He does want to change you and heal the hurt behind your destructive behaviors.
How does change happen? Often, change begins with a crisis; the journey of changing is a process. The process of change is hard work.
And if you fail in the process? Return to the crisis. Remember why you began this journey and get help that will help you continue.
Let’s Reject the Voice of Rejection. Refuse to accept what our failures say – and lean into how the God who made us sees us.
Reject Rejection – First This
Matthew 5:25
WE ALL EXPERIENCE REJECTION – and its scars can remain a heavy burden. But if, in dealing with it, your solution does not leave you closer to God, it was not God’s solution for you.
You must continue on in faith! If you believe that God’s blessings are for other people and not for you, if you believe that God is secretly somehow angry with you over the things that you regret, then you need to know a lot more about the Lord!
Join us in faith as we continue learning to handle this difficult subject. Open your Bible to Matthew 5:25 and get ready for Rejecting Rejection – First This!
What is the biggest hurt impacting your life today?
Too often, we’re looking for freedom but stuck in our hurt. Some injuries are recent, others decades old yet still wreaking havoc our lives.
Emotional healing is one of the most visible needs of our day – and it was a primary focus of Jesus’ ministry. So bring the Lord those wounded places in your heart, mind and life that most need His touch.
Open to Matthew 11:28, and let’s find help, hope and healing…
