This week, we get to experience an incredible compilation of messages on one of our core Family Values: Jesus is Our Pursuit. Pastor's David Turner, Dalisha Munton and Rich Munton shared complementary messages on pursuing Jesus, our first love and the depth of his love for us.

Most people are busy pursuing happiness but Jesus has set His heart on pursuing us. While "happiness is as fleeting as the wind, never delivering on its promises", Jesus is always faithful and has promised to abide with us. His relentless pursuit gives us perspective on the true meaning of happiness. 

In all our endeavors, we must be mindful to set our affections on Him. Stoke the fire and abide in Him as He abides in us. When we have done all that we can do, pursuing Christ and waiting on His promises, we must continue to stand firm. Satisfaction can only be found through Him. Seeing how Jesus continues to pursue us should quicken us to prioritize pursuing Him. Let's listen in on this week's stirring message.

Jeremiah 1:5

Hebrews 12:2

1 Peter 4:12‐13

Colossians 3:1-2

John 15:5

In this week's episode, Family Values - Jesus is Our Pursuit, we learn about God's blueprint for our lives. Pastor Jeremy shares on the importance of seeking God's face and how it impacts the fulfillment of our destiny.

God desires to build something incredible with our lives. During the seasons of construction, it may seem like there isn't really a plan. However, God has a blueprint for each of our lives. We have to trust the promise that He desires to prosper us to give us a hope and a future.

Many times in seeking His hand, we miss His face. We forget that anything other than Him will never be enough to satisfy our hearts. He wants to show us what it truly means to live so we can have the abundant life He promised. We must get back to the basics of abiding in Him.

In this weeks sermon, our lead Pastor Jeremy Johnson dives deeper into the value of “Worship is our weapon,” and gets us to look at the other ways in which worship is present and valuable in our lives.

At Fearless LA, we’ve set out to follow our values as set by our leaders and really make sure our Fearless family understands what those are before we can walk into our promise. Just like the first church, we needed to set out what we stand for before we can truly move past the surface level interactions of religion and move into relationship with God and with others.

Last week, we learned about worship as our promotion and how it is the highest honor we have to lead worship on Earth as it is in Heaven. This week, we look at how worship dismantles division.

Pastor Jeremy uses an instrument to illustrate the uniqueness of each string’s sound, that separately is recognized as pure sound, still important, still valuable. But when these sounds come together, they create beautiful harmonies. Just as music comes together, so are we meant to come together to stir up one another to worship, to love. As iron sharpens iron, so must we sharpen one another to push past praise and worship God when it’s not all working out, truly using our worship as our weapon to combat the midnight and push on till morning.

Hebrews 10: 20-25

Guess what ?! You’ve been promoted ! To what you may ask ? It may sound crazy but you are now the worship leader of heaven itself ! In this weeks Podcast, our Lead Pastor , Jeremy Johnson, takes a closer look on worship.

As he brings us deeper on this mind blowing topic of worship, we find out our new position and promotion is to be a worshiper. Before the enemy, Lucifer, fell from heaven; he was actually a worship leader himself. As pride and self promotion came, he was booted out of heaven. This left the position of lead worshippers of heaven open.

God took us, beings made of dirt, something so low to be seated at the right hand of God. All this to show that He can use anything to worship Him. He made us as intricate vessels able to lead the worship of heaven, right here from earth.

One of strongest weapons we have is our worship, it calls on the power of God when we are in our darkest moments. Worship is so important that this week Pastor Christy gave us a different perspective on it, getting us to dig deeper and understand how much value it holds in our lives. Have you ever worshipped when everything seemed to be going wrong? How hard was it to lift your hands in the middle of the night? Can you still praise God even when he hasn’t answered yet?

Sometimes we have to learn to worship God through the “I don’t want to right now” or in the “I don’t see how this is going to change” and fight for a hallelujah when we haven’t seen the promise come to pass yet. Imagine that one more praise, that one more worship being the one that leads to the breakthrough. At FearlessLA we worship in the midnight, beyond understanding, fearlessly, trusting that God is faithful because we know what he’s done before and can do it again.

The articulation of our words in praise to God delights HIS heart, when we take our time to find our own words to thank God, the words that come from our spirit. There is something so beautiful about hearing it from your mouth, no one can worship for you.

Listen in on our Seven Reasons on Why We Worship and let these words pour into your life, opening the door to a closer relationship with God!
