Living an extraordinary life isn't reserved only for the Billy Grahams of the world, but by simply adding your extra to everybody else's ordinary. Through Jesus' call to go the second mile in Matthew 5, you'll discover how to go farther than you're required to go, give more than is reasonable to give, and give more than you're resolved to get. You'll be challenged to move from self-centered Christianity to a sowing lifestyle, learning that the first mile is a burden but the second mile is a blessing, and you'll see what separates high road leaders who value others from middle and low road leaders who seek value or take it. If you want to love your enemies, treat people better than they treat you, and live a mature life that looks like your heavenly Father, this message will show you why there's very little traffic on the extra mile.

Commitment Issues - Stop Dating The Church. Pastor Ben Pierce - Generation Church in Jupiter, FL.
Commitment Issues will help you discover what's waiting on the other side of your yes, as guest speaker Pastor Ben Pierce of Generation Church shows how the same fears that keep people from committing in relationships can quietly keep us from fully committing to Christ and His church. You'll meet six characters you might recognize from the pews, and you'll learn why you can't cultivate something deeper when you're always searching for something better, why isolation keeps the help you need from reaching you, and why you never get to the place where you have enough to finally give. Through Scripture like Psalm 92, John 15, and 1 Peter 4, you'll be encouraged to work through it instead of walking away, stay connected instead of closed off, and stop holding back what Jesus has handed you, because what He's given you isn't an obligation but an opportunity. If you've been "dating" the church, this message will help you put down roots and step into everything God has for you on the other side of commitment.

Search Party is your guide to receiving God's guidance in the most important decisions of your life, so you never again have to face a fork in the road alone or wonder afterward why things didn't turn out the way you hoped. You'll learn the ask, seek, and knock process from Matthew 7, discovering that it's a requirement rather than a request, and that persistence in prayer is a lifestyle where destiny isn't decided but discovered. You'll be encouraged by the promise that everyone who asks receives, and you'll gain the wisdom to recognize the counterfeit doors that always look bigger and better right before God's best, so you can hold things loosely and trust Him for something far greater than you could plan on your own. If you're facing a decision about a job, a relationship, a move, or your future, this message will give you a proven path to hear from God and the confidence that His plan for your life is better than yours could ever be.
