"Cage the Crazy" delivered by brothers Gabriel and Timothy encouraged us to move beyond our fears and insecurities by taking bold actions rooted in faith. With scriptural encouragements from James 3, Exodus 14, Numbers 13, and Matthew 17, we are to silence internal doubts and trust in the promises of our God. Our wisdom is from above and is demonstrated through righteous deeds and good works that are meant to impact the lives of others. We will fulfill our God-given destiny by taking the next bold faith filled action for the Lord. Bringing Him the glory that He deserves.

When examine the beginning of both David and Saul's kingships, you really find more similarity's than differences. That difference however is the most consequential. One king was purified through his sin and struggling's, while the other grew further and further apart from the Lord which drove him further from those he was called to serve. One grew in earthly wisdom which is unspiritual and demonic, while the other abounded in heavenly wisdom as he was purified through his fear of God. We learned from Pastor Matthew Perot and brother Carlos Rueda in this message entitled "The Wisdom of Kings" how as kings we build the house through the 7 facets of wisdom found in the book of James.

Asad Robinson and Nolan Hewitt are secure kings, making secure kings. They put on display what it looks like to be secured as kings through obedience to the king which leads supporting your brother kings in what they are called to do. Because a King was to constantly be reminded of who they were as kings and what they were supposed to do as kings, they would always have in mind the responsibility of honoring their brothers. We honor our brothers by assigning the same weight to them our God has.
-
"Manifest Destiny" was truly powerful and a reminder of our divine calling as a community. We were reminded of our unique purpose, inspired by passages like Ephesians 4:15-16 and Haggai 2:9, to grow together in love and support each other sacrificially. This sermon highlighted our shared destiny to impact the world through unity and personal sacrifices as seen in the life of Barzillai. By seeing each other as kings and pouring out our lives for one another daily, like Paul did in Philippians 2, we can collectively achieve our God-ordained manifest destiny!
-
Paul Rosales, Nick Rosales, and Caleb Brown put on display for us from their own lives what it looks like to fight for unity.
From personal examples, they spoke to us about the process they've undergone as a team to make each other kings. It is our greatest honor to give our brothers honor. In doing so we find life. Desire for unity is good, but accomplishes nothing. Taking action is what brings about a tangible shalom that brings the strengthening of both your brother's identity and your own. -
“Involuntary Response” delivered by Pastors Justin and Abimbola centers around the idea of automatic, reflexive actions driven by an internal compulsion. From natural examples of involuntary responses to a transition into a heartfelt message about unity, love, and transformation within the community. This sermon emphasizes the importance of embracing the process of testing and finding joy in God's consistent work in our lives, as illustrated through biblical figures like the Apostle John and King David. It highlights how testing leads to kingly behavior, characterized by serving and unifying brothers according to God's purpose. The culmination to the end of the message was a call to self-reflection, urging the brothers to overcome hindrances to freedom, transparency, and unity, and to commit to serving one another as we glorifying God together.

As we got a chance to zoom out and reflect on the last 9 months of maturity in our body, we were amazed at what the Lord is doing. Growth is a glorious process, and we are learning to take pleasure in the process the Lord is leading us through. He knows exactly what we need, and when things need to be excised from our lives. He is a faithful farmer who is cultivating our body so that we might produce the greatest harvest we have ever seen. The fullest extent of this harvest of righteousness is experienced as we are laying our lives down in service of our brothers. Brothers Gabriel Stephens and Justin Linton collaborate to preach this inspiring message aimed counting is a divine privilege to serve one another as we have been served.

It is the Father's good pleasure to lead us into our identity and to make us like him in every way. What we learned from this sermon is that we can also take pleasure in the process the Father is bringing us through because we know what it is producing. Elder Eric, Pastor Slaughter, and Brother Luke Ledesma masterfully led us through the process God took Peter and Paul through to develop a conviction about who they were. Listen to this message and be settled in the process God is taking you through as he is leading you into the fullness of your identity.

Elder Eric and Pastor Nick Slaughter blessed our body by wrapping up our Pattern of God series with the culminating item: The Gates of Praise. One of the most amazing revelations is that this has been the process by which God has form our churches. Pastor Slaughter came all the way from Crystal Lake to testify to us how God has built the Arising Church. We were encouraged to continue building the church in the same way he's been building us by continuing in the process or pattern shown us. This word will encourage you to build as you are put through the glory testing that refines our faith and builds the kingdom.

In the sixth installation in our Pattern of God series, we are the Bronze Laver! And as the Bronze Laver we reflect God's image and nature to those we come into contact with. Through speaking the words of God and our faith-filled deeds towards our brothers, we remind them of their divine heavenly identity as sons of the living God. This “washing” in our divine identity and reminder of who we are, is what causes us to move forward in the Kingdom. With a new song in our mouth, we are testifying to the goodness of our God. We are the Bronze Laver! We are sons of God! We are what the entire world needs!

Precious in the sight of our God is the death of his holy ones. While he takes no pleasure in the death of a sinner who dies, he does consider it special when one of his sons lays down their lives so that a sinner be atoned for. In this refection on building as the Bronze Laver, brothers Carlos Rueda and Paul Rosales inspire and challenge us to joyfully lay down our lives as living sacrifices. In doing so, we are building just as our messiah has done.
-
In the fifth installation in our Pattern of God series, we are the Bronze Altar and we build with the joyful sacrifice of our lives as the Bronze Altar. Our desire is to be pleasing to the Father by walking in obedience to His will and having a zeal for his righteous judgements. Through the joyful sacrifice of our lives, we will inspire others to follow in our footsteps. Today, we are fanning into flame a renewed commitment to be the Bronze Altar and to joyfully sacrifice on behalf of the kingdom and others. This is pattern that we have been giving, and with this pattern, we will build the Kingdom of God on earth.

We Are Prayer. We are the altar of incense. We are in partnership with God & get to offer up our lives as a pleasing aroma to him. In this message preached by Paul Rosales, Nick Rosales, and Caleb Brown we heard firsthand examples what it's like to have our lives consumed as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. This is how we build the dwelling of God on the earth. We pray for someone, then we become prayer, acting as we are sovereignly led by the Father.
-
In this fourth installation in our Pattern of God series, we learned that we are the Altar of Incense and are in partnership with God through prayer. Our lives have been completely consumed like incense in service to God's will, and through us, He spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of Christ everywhere. This is how we build the Kingdom of God and how we impact the lives all around us. With unwavering dedication, marching to the war drums of heaven, and being the majority influence everywhere we go, we will see a profound impact on the world around us. The nations will be won for the Glory of His Name!

We are the Menorah's of God! We are the LIGHT! AND we must therefore we must shine the light. Brothers Carlos Rueda and Gabriel Stephens clinched in this message with things that cause us to quench the Spirits fire & to grieve the Holy Spirit. They then inspired us as to what the light inside us can overcome when we shine it. This sermon entitled "Tree of Life" will undoubtedly spark a fire in you to burn all the more brighter as you walk as the menorah of God.
-
As we continue in our Pattern of God Series, the focus today was on the Menorah of God. We are the Menorah of God called to bring light into the world. This is something that we do together and through a collective effort as the people of God. Spreading His light and presence everywhere so that others may be transformed and become Menorah’s themselves. We have been filled with his Spirit and are called to illuminate dark situations, pointing and lighting the way for others toward salvation. Just as Philip did for the Ethiopian eunuch, this message inspires us to step out boldly into any situation and we can be confident that the light in us will dispel all the darkness around us. As the Menorah of God, we are anointed to rebuild and restore the lives of others. Bringing hope and divine restoration wherever we go.

Breaking Bread preached by brothers Carlos and Paul centers on humility, service, and obedience to God's Word. They highlighted the importance of seeking eternal spiritual nourishment from the word of God over temporary gains, and to embrace a servant's heart like Jesus and what He taught. As members of the body of Christ, we are called to humble themselves, prioritize others, and give our lives for others. The ultimate message is for us to be broken as bread to feed others, building God's house through faithful service, and living out God's will until the very end.
-
Continuing in the Pattern of God series, the sermon highlights the profound significance of the Table of Showbread, specifically the Bread of the Presence. We learned about the connection that the Bread of the Presence had to the Sabbath, and their symbolic representation of God's covenant and provision for His people Israel. Furthermore, we saw that the Levitical Priests role was to prepare the Bread of the Presence and also to consume the Bread of the Presence. Which spoke to the ongoing interaction they were to have with the presence of God. This bread is also what we are to consume, which is the word of God. Looking through passages like 1 Samuel 21, we learned as we interact with God's word, we are to be humbled and brought to a place of genuine service on behalf of others. This is who we are. Men and women who love the Word of God, and have the Word at work inside of us, that we may be brought to greater levels of humility to serve others and see their lives transformed. We are the bread that is to be broken on behalf of others, that they might experience life that is truly life.

This message entitled "Merkava Unleashed" was a soul-stirring encouragement from brothers Gabriel and Cody Stephens. We got to hear the testimony of men whose lives have been forever impacted by a man considering himself set apart for God's use and then confronting their father. When a man considers himself reserved for God's use, that man behaves in a holy way and makes an impact on all around us. We have all been blessed as a result of men reserving themselves for his use who recognize that they are carriers of God's conquering presence. We learned in this message that we are the Merkava's Unleashed.
