Weekend RECAP: Greater
ALL GOD NEEDS IS WHAT YOU HAVE
We often EXCUSE OURSELVES from God’s Greater plans for our lives because WE BELIEVE WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH FOR GOD TO WORK WITH.
One of the enemy’s greatest strategies is to get you to focus on what you don’t have, or what you used to have or what someone else has that you wish you had.
What you have is enough to start you towards GREATER in your life!...

WatchReal Life Champion Story from Fall Issue of Champion Life Magazine:
When I was 11 that was the age that I was first raped, and it was by my father. And that continued until I was about 15. There came a point where I just kind of disconnected myself….disconnected from the situation as best I could. I just kind of became very destructive. I became very promiscuous. What really drove me was...

Lead with Heart: reblog
One of our team went home to be with the Lord last night. Jill had not even been on the team for very long. She was still a fairly new Christian. But she got connected almost immediately and became a part of our team and a part of our Champions Centre family. She was loved and she will be missed. And I thank God that I had the chance to know her and the opportunity to connect her to the team.

WatchOne Day Article, @Kevingerald
We all have norms, our routines, and our daily schedule. Often, it may seem like a blur of the same things, day in and day out. These daily routines even begin to overlap each other; Wednesday is just like Tuesday. Thursday is just like the Thursday the week before. What we do on these days is what we do every day.

Weekend RECAP: Greater Pre-Launch
This fall we are studying “GREATER” as the idea that God wants us to live with a sense of expectation, a hope for our future, a faith and confidence about our lives. He wants us TO DREAM BIG, START SMALL and ignite the vision of God for our lives!
WE ARE ALL BEING CALLED TO BE A GREATER VERSION OF WHO WE ARE.
The path to greater = The life changing realization that God is ready to...

How To Build Your F.A.I.T.H.
An acronym for faith that has helped me increase its presence and power in my life is:
F—focus on the positive
A—affirm yourself
I—imagine God doing something good in your situation
T—trust God in all things
H—hope for the best
This F.A.I.T.H. conquers mind monsters, those negative invaders of the mind who...

BOLD MEN
In each age men of genius undertake the ascent.
From below, the world follows them with their eyes.
These men go up the mountain, enter the clouds, disappear, reappear.
People watch them, mark them.
They walk by the side of precipices.
They daringly pursue their road.
See them aloft, see them in the distance; they are but black specks. On they go. The road is uneven, its difficulties...

What We Do in Life Echoes in Eternity Maximus was compelled by what was ahead of him. The brief glimpses into the next life was the inspiration for his choices, his decisions, his character and his actions in his life. The bible...

At a youth conference in Colorado, out in the middle of nowhere, I see these people falling out of the sky. Parachuting. I had never parachuted so I go over to the parachute place in between my speaking engagements and say, “Yo, I want to jump out one of those planes.” Turns out I have no idea what I am saying.

Weekend RECAP: How He Loves Us
Here are some of the thoughts Pastor Kevin shared this past weekend at Champions Centre services.
God’s love for us is enormous, extravagant, endless… God doesn’t love us sometimes… He loves us all the time. God doesn’t love us conditionally… He loves us unconditionally. Psalm 36:5,6 God’s love is meteoric, (very fast and brilliant) his loyalty astronomic,
His purpose titanic, his verdicts...
#NeverForget
Tonight, I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose world’s have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us, spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for you are with me.” — George...

For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness. - Psalm 84:10

Many people would call it an intervention. Looking back I can see a series of events that came together to completely alter the direction I was going. When I first realized I wanted to be in ministry I thought it was all centered around being on a stage speaking with thousands of people listening to every word I had to say. I was captivated by this thought. I loved it and wanted so badly to be a...

2 Kings 6:15-23: When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the...
