Relationships and Associations
In today’s message in our series, Kingdom Economics, Pastor John Carter taught us about the law of association and the obtaining of destiny. In His Word, God is very clear that one of the primary ways that He will bless us is through the associations, or relationships, in our lives. Remember the old saying: “Show me your friends, and I will show you your future.” Your future is tied to the relationships in your life that God has brought to you. God wants to sow divine connections and associations into your life that will steer you toward your destiny.
Expect a Miracle
We must learn to live in expectancy that a miracle can happen at any time. A miracle is defined as an act whereby God performs a powerful act that alters the ordinary course of nature. Miracles happen when God steps in and does what only he can go. None of us can perform a miracle on our own. God is the miracle worker. But we can contend for our miracle. We have to create an atmosphere for miracles to move in our lives.
Confronting the Spirit of Poverty
One of the detriments to experiencing blessings in our lives can be the lies we believe about money, finances, prosperity, and abundance. These lies can be motivated by a spirit of poverty and lack. These lies can keep us in bondage, trapped in a place where we always struggling and never quite arriving. We have to address these hidden lies and the agreements that we have made with them.
Work the Ground of Your Life
God is going to hold you accountable to use the gifts, skills, and abilities that he has put in you. He wants you to be fruitful and multiply. You have to do more with your life than take up space and air. You need to put something out there that improves the quality of the world around you. Fullness will come from what you choose to do with what God has given to you to cultivate with the work of your hands.
Creating Balance in Work and Life
The Bible tells us that the person who approaches their work and life with a diligent heart, with decisiveness and focus, God’s blessing will come upon and they will be blessed over time. God wants us to choose the path of integrity. He can only bless the work of the diligent person’s hands. Bring the best effort you can to the life that God gave you!
Getting Out of Financial Debt
To create order from chaos, you need to diligently and honestly assess where you are financially. This is where we begin. Once we have the information we need, we can construct a plan that will bring change. This leads to the second principle which is developing a financial plan. We must focus intently on one thing at a time to develop a financial plan. We have to address each area and create action steps.
Creating a Financial Plan with God
Every dollar without a destiny will disappear. Everything we have comes from God. He has given us a lot of freedom to manage it, but that does not mean we can neglect the responsibility that comes with that freedom to properly manage these gifts.
Managing Your Life
In today’s message in our series, Kingdom Economics, Pastor John Carter taught us that as children of God, we must learn all that the Word has to say about what God’s intentions are regarding finances, blessing, and prosperity. Unfortunately, Christianity has historically separated many of the things we consider material things and spiritual things. But in truth, it is only in Jesus that we can bring these things into balance, as God intended for us.
The Way of the Kingdom
In today’s message in our series, Kingdom Economics, Pastor Lee Wilson taught us about the way of the Kingdom of God. We live in a world that is quickly drifting away from the standards of God and His Kingdom, but Jesus told us that the Kingdom of God should be the model for all believers. This means we need to understand the principles of Kingdom Living, Kingdom Living, and Kingdom Giving. In God’s eyes, Kingdom is just another word for “family.” And God designed His family to be blessed.
Promises to the Sower
God has promised to abundantly supply whatever His people require for success in life/business. He does this through seeds. We have to learn how to plant seeds of the Word on the inside of us and nurture them by faith. We must nurture the seed of conviction that when we give generously, God WILL supply our needs generously in return. God’s greatest desire is that we receive every good thing that he has made available to us. We need to remember that God responds back to us in proportion to what we sow. When we sow, we can expect to reap.
Learning to Trust God’s Ways In Giving
If you want God to be involved in the financial cycles of your day-to-day life, you need to understand God’s principles concerning giving, and the first method of giving is the tithe or the first fruits. The first fruit is the first of all of your increase or any wealth that comes into your life.
The Two Sides of Giving and Receiving
In this message, Pastor is teaching that there is a message, doctrine, and teaching (a word from God) on the subject of giving and receiving. And in this season, our church needs to be reminded and taught again about this truth that God wants us to experience as alive and new in us. Giving and receiving are two sides of the same teaching. He wants you to learn how to be a generous giver, and how to receive from Him. We must learn the power of both sides of the teaching.
Content In All Circumstances
In this passage of scripture, Paul is teaching the Philippians how to navigate the economic, material cycles of life. God doesn’t promise us an absence of struggle, but if we learn to trust him and his provision, he will teach us how not to be connected emotionally to the financial and material world around us. We don’t have to have more than enough to be at peace, and we don’t have to worry when we don’t know how we are going to pay the bills.
The Laws of Giving and Receiving
In today’s message, Pastor John jumped into the final section of the book of Philippians, which lays a foundation for us regarding the laws of giving and receiving.

Perfectly Imperfect
In this episode, Pastors Lee Wilson and Ken Chapman talk about how we are not perfect, and how God meets us where we are at in life.
How to Develop a Growth Mindset
We have to develop a growth mindset. We all have three types of mindsets that develop with us as we mature – the child, the teen, and the adults mindsets. 1 Cor. 13 tells us that as we mature, we have to be aware of the mindsets we have preprogrammed into us, and learn now to navigate them. Essentially, we have to know how we are thinking in any moment, and which mindset is informing our thoughts and feelings, if we want to grow up.
Trusting God with Your Worries
In this message we learn that there is a choice to make about our worries and anxieties. God does not want to carry the cares and worries of this world. When we pick up the cares and fear of this world, they can choke the ability of our faith to stand on the Word of God. God doesn’t want us to care them; He wants us to cast them on Him. We must humble ourselves and intentionally throw all our cares away from us onto the Lord. This rewires our minds!
How to Guard Your Heart and Mind
Pastor Pascale Williams taught about the mind diet that Paul outlined in Phil. 4. Paul is drawing a conclusion based on his argument on the importance of protecting your mind. We must be more intentional in how we guard our minds. Attack could come from outside of us and from within us. That means we have to learn how to use the word of God to guard our minds.
Choosing What’s True
In this episode, Pastor Pascale Williams and Brandi Ginty discuss that worry, fear, and anxiety do nothing to change our circumstances, but it does affect our ability to respond to the situation in a healthy way…
