We are in a season of shifting. You have to determine to jump into what God is doing...or accept the possibility of missing out on what God has for you!

The writer of Hebrews admonishes us to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promise. In order to possess the promise, we must have Patience that is not based on our human efforts but naturally flows from faith.
In, The Waiting Room, a continuation of his focus on the Fruit of the Spirit, Pastor Paul explains that the real evidence of the Holy Spirit's activity in the life of a believer can be clearly seen in the fruit of Patience.
While we are experiencing the work of Patience we feel the agony that comes with waiting, but only when we allow the process to run its course, can we enjoy the fruit that is produced from a Spirit-led life.

In a time when isolation is easy and often encouraged, Pastor Paul Arthurs delivers Part II of his timely message, Building Strategic Relationships.

Everyone and everything has a source. What sources have been feeding you lately? More importantly, are you connected to The Source? In Part III of the message series, "Check the Source", Pastor Paul Arthurs encourages us to stay connected to our ultimate Source, Jesus Christ, so that we can thrive, even during challenging times.

Founding Pastor Sheila Arthurs delivers a powerful word from the Lord.

While the disciples were busy washing their nets they heard the call to discipleship and immediately they dropped what they were doing to follow Jesus. Their immediate response to the call ignited a process of growth that continues to reverberate to this day.

We can draw parallels with God’s call and our response to that call. In life, we will experience the call in many ways, and it is our response to that call that will matter most. We are not defined by what will happen to us in life but how we respond to what will inevitably come our way. Everyone falls, but the difference between a wise man and a foolish man is how they respond to the fall. A wise man chooses to get up again.

Many are called but few are chosen.

Thanks for joining me on this journey of Becoming!

Pastor Paul Arthurs
Conversations with God Part III

We are admonished in Scripture to draw near to God, for it’s only when we move toward God that we have the privilege of growing in relationship with our heavenly Father. Jesus says that He stands at the door of our hearts and knocks and if we would grant access He would come in and dine with us. One of the simplest definitions of prayer is talking with God, to engage in conversation in which we communicate our heart and incline our ears to His word. In Part III of this powerful message series, Conversations with God, Pastor Paul Arthurs encourages us that our conversations with the Father not only bring us into a deeper understanding but transform us from the inside out. This change is continual and the result of ongoing conversations day by day as we chose to walk with our Heavenly Father through life.

In these times of uncertainty the only way to differentiate between what is authentic versus what is counterfeit will be fruit. God prioritized fruitfulness in the origin of human history as the first instruction of man, but sin corrupted the fruit and revealed our need for salvation. In this new message series, Pastor Paul Arthurs encourages believers to apply the Fruit of the Spirit in every aspect of our lives, as that is what brings glory to God.

Pastor Paul Arthurs continues his series on Living on Purpose.

Pastor Paul concludes his Got Fruit? series with a message entitled, Wall Builders.

When my wife was an impressionable adolescent, she was compared to her older sister, who happened to be very petite. Fiona was known as “The Big One,” by adults that lacked the sensitivity needed to build the self worth of a beautiful young girl simply trying to discover her place in the world. These words pierced like needles designed to inject toxin into a vulnerable identity during the heart of its formation. Fiona would spend years imprisoned by uninformed opinions into her adult life; obsessed with her weight, totally at the mercy of any negative word regarding her person, and utterly helpless against any diet, pill or starvation plan to be thin. Only after she discovered freedom in Christ from the words that shaped her self perception was she able to see the truth of who she was when looking back at her high school pictures. She is now able to recognize that she didn’t remotely have a problem in that area. Her identity and emotions had been affected by the words of well-intended people that were simply untrue.
In a time when there are a plethora of voices, pontificating sanctimonious platitudes that seem convincing, it is imperative that we develop an intimate relationship with The Truth.

Pastor Paul Arthurs continues his teaching on the Fruit of the Spirit, with a focus on the Fruit of GOODNESS.

Everyone and everything has a source. What sources have been feeding you lately? More importantly, are you connected to The Source? In today's powerful message, Pastor Paul Arthurs encourages us to stay connected to our ultimate Source, Jesus Christ, so that we can thrive, even during challenging times.

The way of the disciples was a life of engagement. The calling to follow Jesus was not a commitment to passively tag along and silently observe, but to become by doing. After another long day of teaching and miracles, the disciples were done and needed Jesus to send the massive crowd of people home because everyone was tired and hungry. When the disciples explained the situation to Jesus, thinking that he would agree to their assessment and solution, He turned and instructed them to deal with the problem.
Like the disciples, many of us are pundits who can read the situation, cite the problem and pontificate on what should be done from the safety of the sidelines. But I believe Jesus is calling us to GET IN THE GAME and deal with the problem.

Pastor Fiona delivers a powerful message on how to maintain a healthy emotional immune system during these challenging times.

How do we live during these troublesome times? We place our full faith and trust in Jesus Christ...He is in control!

Founding Pastor Carlton Arthurs encourages believers to focus on two important things as we live in light of the Lord's return.
- Repentance toward God
- Faith in Jesus Christ

In this special Mother's Day message, Pastor Fiona Arthurs shares a powerful message on the necessity of operating according to the Fruit of the Spirit.

We can do all things with the help of Jesus Christ...including winning in the battlefield of the mind!

In times of great uncertainty, we must put our hope and trust in Jesus Christ!

Pastor Paul Arthurs delivers Part II of the powerful series, Worth the Wait, which illustrates how the message of Pentecost speaks to the current issues of today.

In the second message of this two-part series, Pastor Paul explores the questions that we all must answer to ensure that we have an intimate relationship with the Risen Savior.

When Jesus calls these twelve ordinary men to follow Him in order to BECOME, His first assignment for them is to preach. At the surface, this seemed like a strange instruction to give these men who were not known for their eloquence or persuasive communication. They would have likely been deemed ill-equipped for such a task that would have required extensive training under a recognized Rabbi. Yet, as soon as they are acknowledged as disciples, all of them are sent to preach.
Over the years, Christians have relegated preaching to the gifted or those that are theologically trained to extrapolate the nuances of the Biblical text. However, the mandate to preach was given to every disciple.
Everyone must preach!

Pastor Paul shares practical strategies for strengthening your relationship with God during challenging and uncertain times.

Pastor Paul Arthurs continues to address the purpose of women in his Living on Purpose series.

In the longest recorded prayer in the Bible, we hear Jesus's heart’s cry for the body of Christ, for his disciples, that they may be made one just as Jesus and the Father are One. When the church is united, when the church is One, the world will see and believe in Jesus. When there is division, we are weak and cannot fight against the culture that is set to destroy the church. However, when there is unity, when there is oneness, God commands His blessings and this brings glory to His name on the earth. There is Power when we are ONE.

Pastor Paul Arthurs continues his study of the Fruit of the Spirit, with a focus on Peace that Christ brings.

Are you thirsty? What is your appetite for these days? In Part II of this message series, Pastor Paul reminds us that the only thing that can quench our thirst is a move of the Holy Spirit. We must stay hungry and thirsty for God! Join us for a powerful service as we continue to learn how to navigate life during these challenging times.

In the final session of this 3-part series, men of all ages and stages of life will experience an anointed time of worship, hear encouraging testimonies about the impact of legacy, and receive a relevant word from Founding Pastor Carlton Arthurs and Lead Pastor Paul Arthurs on the critical areas of life that are essential to creating and imparting a legacy that is pleasing to God.

We are admonished in the Scriptures to walk in the Spirit. Although the journey is arduous it should not be miserable because we never walk alone. The hymn that we used to sing says, “He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way.” We experience the fullness of joy in His presence (Psalm 16:11). Too many people try to arrive at the place of fulfillment in their own strength and find themselves fainting along the way from fear and disappointment. The Word of God, however, reminds us that the JOY of the Lord is our strength.

Pastor Paul Arthurs continues his encouragement to men in his Living on Purpose series.

Pastor Paul Arthurs continues his teaching of The Fruit of the Spirit, with a focus on God's gift of Peace to His children.

Pastor Fiona Arthurs shares Biblical truths about the importance of maintaining inner peace during these uncertain times.

Pastor Paul Arthurs begins a new series entitled Living on Purpose.

In these times of uncertainty the only way to differentiate between what is authentic versus what is counterfeit will be our fruit. God prioritized fruitfulness in the origin of human history as the first instruction of man, but sin corrupted the fruit and revealed our need for salvation. In Part IV of this powerful message series, Pastor Paul Arthurs encourages believers to apply the Fruit of the Spirit in every aspect of our lives, as that is what brings glory to God.

Jesus runs into a man that has been unable to move for 38 years and asks him a direct question. The man's response speaks to the depravity of his condition.
Our responses in life often reveal the deep issues that have brought us to a place of stagnation from which we are unable to escape. The love of God finds us where we're stuck in the miry clay of excuses, blame and offense and asks us if we want to be well.
We have the option to stay in the place we have known or step up in life with our faith in the Word of God.

Why is it important for Christians to pray for Israel? Founding Pastor Carlton Arthurs reminds us of the importance of having the heart of God during these turbulent times.

Founding Pastor Carlton Arthurs shares a heartfelt message on the vital importance of fathers in our families, in our communities, and in our world.

Founding Pastor Carlton Arthurs continues his powerful message series, The End Times and What to Expect.

All of us are on a journey in life that is determined by the numerous choices that we make. Even the choices that seem insignificant can have drastic impact on our trajectory. If one is to arrive at an intended destination, at a specific time, especially when they are unfamiliar with the road on which they are traveling; it is imperative that he/she has proper directions. A major challenge we face in these days is living in a culture where there are multiple voices that masquerade as wisdom, but in the end, they lead to an undesired destination.
In the midst of the cacophony of pseudo truths offering meaning, Jesus stands alone possessing the exclusive rights as the ONLY means to abundant life in the presence of the Father.

In Part II of the message series, What Now?, Pastor Paul shares a powerful word on how the Body of Christ should live during these challenging days.

In this special All-Campus service, Founding Pastor Carlton Arthurs shares a powerful message about the importance of living victoriously in preparation for The Lord's soon return.

A few years ago, I noticed that the house was cold, and no matter how much I turned up the thermometer the temperature remained unaffected. After thoroughly checking the furnace and confirming that the pilot was lit, I had no choice but to call in a technician who could better assess the situation and fix the heating problem in the home. When he arrived, within a minute he checked the filter, which I hadn’t changed for an entire year, and let me know that this was the problem. The heat couldn't flow pass the dirty filter.
Our own filter is a defense mechanism that determines what gets in or out of our lives. When we are not experiencing the flow of God’s grace we might consider changing our filter.
