07/11/10

While life is uncertain, God is not. He still holds the whole world in his hands. There’s nothing new that will come to you that Jesus didn’t experience on your behalf, and if you’ll let him and trust him…there’s nothing he won’t redeem and turn it for good in your life!

The Faith: The Church

05/23/10

The Faith: God Speaks (The Word)
04/25/10
Steven Yoes
To claim that the Bible is made up “wishful thinking” or that it was fabricated for political purposes might make good fiction or TV ratings, but it makes for lousy accuracy over two millennia. You can trust the Bible!

The Faith: Given Once, For All
04/11/10

Easter: Let the Walls Fall
04/04/10
Steven Yoes
We were separated from God because of our sin and ultimately all of us will hit the mortality wall.

Fearless: The Fear of God Not Being Good
02/07/10
Steven Yoes
We do not have to understand God's ways, or the suffering and brokenness and pain the sooner or later come to us all. But we do have to know in the very depths of our being that the ultimate end of the story, no matter how many eons it takes, is going to be all right.

Fearless: The Fear of Disappointing God
01/24/10
Steven Yoes
The greatest tragedy is not that you sinned yesterday. It’s that Satan spoke to you this morning and said, “You’re a loser! You fumbled! You’re destined to a future of Sitting on the Bench! You let the coach down and the entire team!”
Fearless: The Fear of Not Mattering
01/17/10
Steven Yoes
People are often quick to devalue us or label us as "garage sale material." Jesus taught that we are of infinite worth to God, because Jesus has paid the ultimate price for us. Take the old price tags off, and go to war with the fear of insignificance.
Fearless: Why Are You Afraid
01/10/10
Steven Yoes
If we don't come to grips with fear, it will grip us! Often, it's the unexpected storms of life that cause us the most fear and loss of control. Storms don’t discriminate between believers and unbelievers. What sets us apart as Christ-followers is not the absence of storms. It’s whom you discover in your boat IN the storm that eliminates fear.
How to Survive A Spiritual Winter
01/03/10
Steven Yoes
Our lives often mirror the order of God's creation, especially when it comes to experiencing various spiritual seasons.

The Fan: Part 2
11/22/09
Steven Yoes

Gracism - How You're Contagious
11/08/09
Seth Saldivar
We’re all contagious, the question is, what are you spreading?
Gracism - Pt. 6 - It's Not What You Think
11/01/09
God says to his children, "Be holy, because I am holy." Is this a commandment we keep or a pronouncement we receive and believe? Is holiness something we achieve by our actions, or is it a state of being given to us as a gift?
Gracism - Pt. 5 - Something's Changed
10/25/09
Steven Yoes
Sin does not stop God’s grace from flowing, but God’s grace will stop sin.
Gracism - Pt. 4 - Real vs Plastic
10/18/09
Steven Yoes
God calls us to examine ourselves to see if our faith is truly authentic. How can we know if we have the real deal, or whether we've settled for a convenient "plastic" faith?
Gracism - Pt. 3 - Gluttons for Punishment
10/11/09
Steven Yoes
If you have given your life to Christ in full sincerity, then you are clothed today—not in your own righteousness (which is self-righteousness)—but with the righteousness of Jesus! But we often still feel guilty, constantly reminded of our sin. God wants us to SILENCE THE ACCUSER and stop trying to pay a debt that’s been paid in full! We are NO LONGER GLUTTONS FOR PUNISHMENT . . . instead we’re FEASTING on GRACE!!!
Gracism - Pt. 2 - Birthright
10/04/09
Steven Yoes
At one point, we were all like orphans to God . . . children who've chosen to go our own way. But Jesus adopted us into his family as sons and daughters by grace. Why then do so many of us feel we must live as slaves to somehow "earn" his grace? Discover your true place in his family and the birthright you've inherited!
Gracism - Pt. 1 - Scent of a Scandal
09/27/09
Steven Yoes
God's amazing grace. We sing about it, but we do not understand it or even come close to comprehending it. Grace is 100% undeserved favor! It's the opposite of what we deserve! Grace has the scent of a scandal.

09/20/09
Steven Yoes

Learn how the Holy Spirit can fill you up to transform your daily life.
Miracle Growth: Part 5 - Teaching
09/13/09
Steven Yoes
The Word of God is living and active... but how do we know we can trust it? And why is it that we can hear it's words, yet at times it seems to have little impact on us? Is it possible to even study the Bible, but entirely miss hearing God in it or being changed by it?
Miracle Growth: Part 4 - Worship
09/06/09
Steven Yoes
We’re wired for worship! We’re wired to stand in awe & to be ‘wowed’; have our breath taken away. If you and I have difficulty worshiping with passion and awe . . . it’s not because we haven’t made a big enough deal of worship. It’s that we’ve made God too small!

Dangerous Church: Casually Captivated
08/09/09
Christianity isn’t about a special prayer, or a decision or a commitment, it’s about a transformation. Just like you can’t be casually captivated, you can’t be a casual Christian, there’s no such thing. There is nothing casual about Christianity.
Dangerous Church: The Door Is Open
08/02/09
Steven Yoes

Dangerous Church: Turn Up the Temperature
07/26/09
Steven Yoes

Dangerous Church: Jesus Creed
07/19/09
Steven Yoes
“Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. And the second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these!”
Prodigal God - Wasteful Extravagance?
07/12/09
In Jesus, God extravagantly forgave and loved to the point of spending all he had to ransom a broken, wayward humanity that can never repay him. It was certainly undeserved. It most definitely was not free. But as far as the Father is concerned, it was worth it.
Prodigal God - Tale of Two Sons
07/05/09
One son ends in repentance. One ends in anger. The Father remains the same... searching for what was lost.

Faith, Hope & Luck - Part 5: All In
06/14/09
Steven Yoes
For Jesus, great faith requires great selflessness. God is definitely for us, but He is wanting to work His plan through us - not working our plans through us. Jesus calls us to go 'all in', betting all the we have and hope for on him, and trading our agendas for his!
Faith, Hope & Luck - Part 4: No Dice
06/07/09
Steven Yoes
When God says no, it doesn’t mean something was wrong with your faith! It may simply mean, God has a higher purpose for not saying yes. God’s empowering grace is sufficient and is always available.
Faith, Hope & Luck - Part 3: Beating the Odds
05/31/09
Steven Yoes
Sometimes knowing what God has and hasn’t promised to us in this lifetime is confusing.

Faith, Hope and Luck - Part 2: Betting on Hope
05/24/09
Steven Yoes
There is a lot of confusion about what faith is—and what it isn't. The 'positive thinking' and 'betting-on-hope' that often disguises itself as faith today can sometimes actually destroy it . . . creating expectations that are never met. It often presumes upon God . . . and when God doesn’t come through, people are crushed. Learn what Biblical faith is really all about, and why it doesn't have to be so complicated.
Faith, Hope & Luck - Part 1: Better Odds
05/17/09
Steven Yoes
How do we know when faith is at work in our life, and not just the luck of the draw? And what is our faith built on really?

Discover the real foundation for our faith that stands even in the most challenging times.

05/10/09

3:16 - Pt. 3 - We Believe!
04/05/09
Steven Yoes
Many people claim to "believe" in something . . . themselves, a hero, a powerful leader, even God.

Discover the profoundly moving picture of what true, life-changing "belief" looks like, and really start believing!
3:16 - Pt. 2 (He Gave)
03/29/09
Steven Yoes
The heart of the human problem is the problem with the human heart.

Even greater, he chooses to trade places with us, embracing our terminal condition, and offering us his perfect, new heart in exchange.
3:16 - He Loves
03/22/09
Steven Yoes
John 3:16 . . . the most famous passage in the Bible. It's a 26 word parade of hope, beginning with God and ending with life, and urging us to do the same. The starting point . . . "God SO loved"!

One Month to Live Pt. 7 - Live with No Regrets
03/08/09
Steven Yoes
The enemy uses two primary things to rob us of really living as God intends now . . . a graceless tour of our past and a Godless tour of our future. Both lead to a life wasted in regret. Break free from the traps of yesterday and tomorrow that rob you of life, and discover the power of God to meet you in the "now" moments!
One Month to Live Pt. 6 - Leave Boldly
03/01/09
Steven Yoes
We all want to leave a legacy after we're gone. Jesus cautioned that we will each give an account for our lives and how we used the time, talent and treasure that was entrusted to us. He taught that the key to hearing God say, "well done good and faithful servant", is to invest our greatest resources into the only thing that is eternal...people for whom Jesus died.
One Month to Live Pt. 5 - Learn Humbly in Hardship
02/22/09
Steven Yoes
Suffering, hardship and trials often cause us to question God's love and goodness. But Jesus taught that we are privileged not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him. Discover how God uses suffering in our brief lives on earth to prepare us for an eternity without suffering.

02/15/09
Steven Yoes

Jesus calls us to learn humbly from our failures, and to allow him to use our greatest weaknesses to show himself strong in our lives.
One Month to Live Pt. 3 - Love Completely
02/08/09
Steven Yoes
The second greatest commandment may be the hardest to keep. Jesus said we must love the people in our lives in the same way we love and look out for ourselves. But some people are really hard to love, and have wounded or disappointed us. Jesus taught the secret to loving people completely, even the most unlovable.
One Month to Live Pt. 2 - Live Passionately
02/01/09
Steven Yoes
God wants us to live passionately because he is a passionate God, and we are created in his image. But living passionately doesn't mean going through life with a fake smile slapped on our faces. Jesus models what it truly means to live a passionate life of no-regrets, and offers it to us!
One Month to Live Pt. 1 - Live the Dash
01/25/09
Steven Yoes
We don't get to pick the date we're born or the date we exit this world for eternity. When we die, the only thing separating those two dates on our gravestone will be one tiny dash. An entire lifetime, reduced to the span of two dates and a dash. God has given you the incredible choice as to how you will live your dash! Jesus models for us how embracing our mortality frees us to truly live!
Moving Forward Pt. 3 - Unless the Lord Builds the House
01/18/09
Steven Yoes
Jesus' idea of what his church should be was vastly different than what people were making it. When he showed up at church, he overturned the religious systems people had made, and painted an incredible, often-missed picture of the church he promised to build through us, if we will join him. (adapted from teaching by K. Ulmer)
Moving Forward Pt. 2 - Righting Relational Roadblocks
01/11/09
Steven Yoes
Jesus taught that unhealthy relationships will become roadblocks that keep us from moving forward in life and experiencing God's blessing on our lives. Going on with Jesus absolutely requires us to end dangerous relationships and to reconcile broken relationships.
Moving Forward Pt. 1 - Could've, Should've, Would've
01/04/09
Steven Yoes
Regrets over our past failures or missed opportunities can cripple us and keep us from moving forward in life. They can even begin to destroy our present lives by carrying those same failures forward. But Jesus came to free us from the regret of what 'could have been', and to restore the hope of what he promises 'will be' in our future!
The Gift (Pt. 3 - Look Past the Wrapping)
12/28/08
Steven Yoes
Too often, our expectations can set us up for disappointment and disillusionment. When it comes to God, we often have expectations of how we think He should work in our lives if we love Him. But God's ways are not our ways, and many times, the greatest gifts and blessings God is giving us are not wrapped in pretty or even desirable packages. If we don't look past the wrapping, we'll miss the gift entirely.
The Gift (Pt. 2 - The Missing Main Ingredient)
12/21/08
Steven Yoes
When people or churches teach God's truth without extending grace, it leads to arrogance, religious legalism, and it ultimately hurts people.

It just happens to be the main ingredient in Christianity, and when it goes missing . . . we've missed everything!
The Gift (Pt. 1 - Receive Grace)
12/14/08
Steven Yoes
When Jesus set foot on earth, he completely turned people's expectations of what God was like upside down. Beginning with that first Christmas, Jesus' entire life demonstrated the limitless grace and forgiveness of God, coupled with a message of truth that transformed everyone that received it. Grace AND truth? Jesus offers us the gift of both!
Unstoppable Pt. 14 - Fight For Your Future
12/07/08
Steven Yoes
At the end of the story of Nehemiah, we aren't left with a tidy, feel-good ending. Instead, we are left with a raw ending that mirrors our journey of faith and failure. But we are not meant to simply settle for failure. God confronts us with defining moments where we must choose to fight for our own future!
Unstoppable Pt. 13 - Worship Right-Side Up
11/30/08
Steven Yoes
Worship . . . We can't avoid it. It's like breathing air. We're all worshiping something or someone. The question is what or who? How you answer the question ultimately reveals whether you're living life "inverted" or "right-side-up"!
Unstoppable Pt. 12 - Just Do It
11/23/08
Steven Yoes
When it comes to hearing God's voice, we have a choice to make. If we ignore his instruction, we end up deceiving and robbing ourselves. But if we just do what he says, honoring him first in every area of our lives, he promises to bless us beyond imagination.
Unstoppable Pt. 11 - A Faithless People's Faithful God
11/16/08
Steven Yoes
The overarching theme of the Bible, from cover to cover, is that God is faithful when his people are unfaithful. Time and time again, despite humanity's repeated wanderings and rebellion, God demonstrates his heart to forgive and lead his people, even when they choose to leave him.
Unstoppable Pt. 10 - What God Really Wants
11/09/08
Since the beginning of human history, God has desired one thing from his prized creation . . . our hearts.

11/02/08

The Bible is described as a two-edged sword that pierces straight to our inner-most thoughts and intentions. Discover how the Word of God both convicts and heals, and leads us not to condemnation and guilt, but to feasting, worship and celebration!
Unstoppable Pt. 8 - It's Time for Table Talk
10/19/08
Steven Yoes
Since the beginning of human history, the Bible reveals the relational power of sharing a meal in community with others. Mankind's fall originates when a meal is eaten without God. Jesus' ministry frequently centered around meals that brought his closest followers together with the most scandalous and sinful people. And human history will ultimately culminate with a final banquet hosted by Jesus that sets all things right!
Unstoppable Pt. 7 - For the Love of Money
10/12/08
Steven Yoes
Jesus taught that how we view and steward our money directly impacts our relationship with God. And prospering ourselves at the expense of others is a true indication of the heart. Nehemiah teaches us a powerful lesson in godly business principles, fair profit, and stewardship of all that God entrusts to us.
Unstoppable Pt. 6 - Watchmen on the Wall
10/05/08
Steven Yoes
Often we live by what we see and feel. In reality, there is much more than meets the eye going on around us! Like Nehemiah's soldiers on the wall, God wants us to see the real but "hidden" war we're in, and he wants us to use the greatest weapon he's given us to dramatically change the outcome!
Unstoppable Pt. 5 - No Pain, No Gain
09/28/08
Steven Yoes
An easy, care-free life may be appealing, but it's not reality. In fact, as in most areas of life, true spiritual progress often requires pain and paying a price. Discover from Nehemiah how God uses criticism, opposition, and pain to actually refine and strengthen you to fight for all that He's promised you.
Unstoppable Pt. 4 - What Do You See?
09/21/08
Steven Yoes
When you look at yourself, the seemingly insurmountable obstacles before you, the mistakes behind you, or the broken world around you, you may feel overwhelmed and insignificant. God sees something greater, and if you're willing, he will use you in his unstoppable, eternal plan.
Unstoppable Pt. 3 - What's In Your Hand?
09/07/08
Steven Yoes
God has uniquely equipped you to do all that he has purposed for you. He has given you position, possessions and passions and placed them in your hand. What will you do with them? Will you dare to let God take the ordinary and make it extraordinary in his hands?
Unstoppable Pt 2 - In Order to Rise, You Have to Risk
08/31/08
Steven Yoes
When failure leaves us compromised and feeling defeated, a choice must be made. We can remain on the side-lines, feeling crippled by failure, or we can choose by faith to risk on God's promises to restore and forgive. Learn from Nehemiah's incredible choice to move forward, believing God would grant him favor to rebuild his own life, and the lives of God's people.
Unstoppable - Pt. 1 - Dealing with Disastrous Detours
08/24/08
Steven Yoes
Have you ever found yourself far off the path God desires you to be on? Deceived, held captive by sin, and distanced from God? Nehemiah's powerful story reveals how God meets us in the most distant places when we ask him to forgive, and he continues the unstoppable work of rebuilding and healing every part of our lives.
Broken - Pt. 6 - The Blessing in the Thorn

Steven Yoes
It's one thing when God seems silent, or even indifferent to our suffering and hardships. It's quite another to discover that he was actually orchestrating those circumstances for his own purposes, even declining to remove them when we ask. It is then that we can learn to see the blessing in the thorn.
Broken - Pt. 5 - Bring the Rain
08/10/08
Steven Yoes
Faith during times of pain, trial and brokeness isn't the ability to see where you're going in the storm. Faith never knows where it is going, but it knows and loves the One who is leading.. Only then are we able to welcome whatever "weather" God may allow us to go through.
Broken - Pt. 4 - I Did it My Way
08/03/08

07/20/08

Broken Pt. 1 - Broken and Blessed
07/13/08
Steven Yoes
The words "broken" and "blessing" don't typically go together. Brokeness implies pain, suffering, and testing. It's not the easy road, but brokenness is one of God's primary tools to rid us of self-reliance and to bring us to a place of total God-reliance . . . the place of ultimate blessing.
Doing Time (The Prison Test)
07/06/08
Steven Yoes
Sometimes we find ourselves in painful situations and trying conditions because of poor choices. But like Joseph, even when we do right, God will still often allow us to be tested severely and treated unfairly in order to build His character and perseverance in us. (adapted from Dream to Destiny)
Scandalous, Merciful Grace
06/29/08
Steven Yoes
Jesus repeatedly stunned the religious leaders of his day with his radical demonstrations of grace to the most broken, scandalously sinful people. To them, Jesus poured out grace that was far more scandalous. The heart of God has not changed . . . mercy still triumphs over judgment, and Jesus calls his church to replicate his heart.
All You're Looking For
06/22/08

iServe - Part 3 - Just Jump In!
08/26/07

The emotion typically felt when jumping off a diving board for the very first time is fear. But after we hit the water and find we survived it, we scramble to get in line for another jump.

Speak! Part 3 - The Amazing Power of the Tongue
04/29/07
Steven Yoes
The sad reality is that while our tongues are contained in a cage of teeth and lips, they still escape. It is not intelligence that keeps the lock on that cage; it is wisdom & it’s the power of God that can control it. We need to pray what David prayed in Psalm 141:3 "Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips." Why? Because the tongue has amazing power.

He Is Risen
04/08/07
Steven Yoes
C.S. Lewis was right . . . If he didn’t rise from the dead, nothing else he says is trustworthy. He’s a liar and a fraud or a lunatic at best! (He said repeatedly he would rise from the dead.) If he’s to be trusted and we can put our faith in him, then everything hinges on his resurrection!

Imagine - Investing Your One and Only Life
01/21/07
Steven Yoes
Our only opportunity to make an eternal investment with our time, is the time we invest in what God is doing on earth.
