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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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!

In Part 7 of this critical series, Living on Purpose, Pastor Paul addresses the importance of submission.

In Acts 4, we begin to see the cultural impact of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that began at Pentecost as it influenced the early church. This is a people that were alive and growing, but the growth was felt beyond the attendance. Something was spreading like a contagion, and that was the outpouring of the love of God. Something was happening among those who responded to the call to come out their old life of religious righteousness and into true faith in the Messiah. It was in Him that they discovered an immediate connection of life and purpose. People from all walks of life began to actually care about each other to the extent that they were enthusiastic to release what they had in order to bless someone else. The result of this love fest resulted in great grace to demonstrate to the world that Jesus was risen from the dead.

Our values are not demonstrated in what we say, but in how we steward our lives.

It is interesting to note that before God created the vegetation, the celestial bodies or the animals, God commanded light to shine in the midst of darkness. In the same manner, God has spoken through His Son who is revealed as the Light of the World. Only when our lives have been illuminated through the revelation of Jesus will we be able to break the power of darkness that causes us to wander through life without direction. Today, I encourage you to allow the Sun of Righteousness to arise in your heart to push back the darkness and be a Lamp to your feet and a Light to your path towards your purpose.
