On this week’s podcast, we dive into a new series called, “I Love My Church”.  After a life changing 3 days at Fear Not Conference, Pastor Jeremy Johnson preaches the importance of unity inside of the Church and how that alone can create a paradigm shift. We are reminded throughout this sermon that when you take ownership in the Church, you have authority. God wants to give us a key, and that authority creates major change. Even when things get messy, we can be comforted in the truth that Christ rules the Church. Though it may not make sense in the physical world, having Jesus at the center of it all creates 3 things:

1) Multiplication

2) Paradigm Shifts

3) Empowerment

When we do things together as a Church we can feel God act, speak, heal, and move. Without it, we are only a piece of the body.

Ephesians 1:20

20-23 “All this energy issues from Christ: God raised him from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything. At the center of all this, Christ rules the church. The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ’s body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence.”

God is in charge of everything from galaxies to governments. It’s about time we start living in His authority over our lives and believe in the major change that can and will happen when we come together as one.

On this week’s podcast, pastor Jeremy Johnson teaches us the importance of unity inside and outside of the church. During our very first Conference Sunday, we are reminded of the supernatural shifts that happen when we focus on going after the broken. Our own emptiness seems to fade away when we see the emptiness of others. When it comes to our salvation, pastor Jeremy challenges us to think of those in our lives that need to know Jesus. Like the story of Elisha and the Jar of Oil, there might be something in close quarters that just needs a little faith to transform. (2 Kings 4 :1-7) Rather than an empty jar, it could be a friend, family member or coworker that needs a touch from God. When we seek God as an empty vessel, His power and mercy for us overflows. As long as we bring Him our emptiness, Gods power will keep flowing and we will be transformed. With conference around the corner, it is times like these where we are asked not to stay silent but to step out in faith and invite those around us into the life we have already been given. It’s not if we’re going, but it’s who we are bringing that changes things.

 On this week’s podcast, Pastor Jeremy Johnson preaches a powerful sermon about the specific call God has on each of our lives. This Super Bowl Sunday, we are reminded that when we walk out our calling, we should walk in expectancy and know that with Jesus, the battle is already won.

Matthew 22:14 says, “For many are called, but few are chosen.” We are reminded through this message that although saying yes to Gods call isn’t always easy, it is always worth it. Gods plan is specific for you and your call cannot he rubbed off by fear, pain, shame, or insecurity. If God has called you, nothing can withdrawal you from it.

Don’t wait another moment to follow what God has spoken over your life. You have been called to conquer and to keep moving forward. You have all the right equipment and the power of God on your side to live out His perfect plan in your life. The hurt you have walked through and may be holding onto might be the thing God uses to do the supernatural in your life. Are you ready to embrace the call that God has on your life this year?
