Take Hold of Confidence and Boldness

How many times do you submit to a lack of confidence in yourself? How many times do opportunities pass you by because you lack the boldness to seize them? The answer: far too many on both accounts. Did you know that God desires you to have a godly confidence and boldness in yourself? It is not a confidence of arrogance or a boldness of haughtiness. They are Christ’s boldness and confidence lived out in us through the power of His Holy Spirit. Every believer has the potential; many just choose not to claim it.

Make A Difference With Your Life

People that are truly somebody, learn that to be somebody one needs to make a difference
with one's life. Christ not only can enable you to do this, but He expects you to do this. He
expects you to do this not by investing in the stock market, but by investing in the people
around you. The people who make the greatest difference are not those who are consumed
with writing their own letter, but are consumed with helping to write the letter of others
through the love of Christ. That is a part of your calling as a follower of Christ, to help write
the success stories of other people around you.

Staying Safe in a Digital World

Julie Coon, of the Madison County nonprofit, Kid Talk, gave a community presentation at Catalyst Church to help parents navigate the complicated world of technology as we aim to keep our children safe in a digital world.

See Yourself as God Sees You

In today's message from 2 Corinthians 2:14-17, Pator Rolland Daniels challenges us to see ourselves not as the world sees us, but as God sees us. God sees you as triumphant in your walk through life and your walk with Him. Listen and learn how God’s perception and belief in you is drastically different that your perception and belief in yourself.

The Empty Tomb

Easter! Sometimes it is hard to believe even what you have just seen. That was the case for those
who found the empty tomb. They were confused and bewildered as they tried to sort through
what had just taken place. Just when they thought things could not get more complicated, an
angel speaks to them declaring, “He has risen!” It is the declaration of Easter and it is our
declaration as believers!

The Thief

Palm Sunday In all our lives, there have been moments of missed opportunity and moments when opportunity was seized. Truly, the two thieves who shared Golgotha with Jesus are the epitome of both opportunity seized and opportunity missed. Three simple words, “Lord, remember me” led one man to eternity with Christ, while the other suffered the consequences of a life that denied Christ. In truth, this is the decision that faces every human being walking on the face of this earth.

The Crucifixion

The crucifixion of Christ was a brutal event. It was an act of appeasement on Pilot’s part and the result was the suffering and humiliation of the Savior of the world. Each step of Jesus’ punishment was done strategically and with the intent to exact as much pain as humanly possible. Along the way different people are pulled into the fray. An unexpecting bystander is pulled  from the crowd and told to help carry the cross, a thief finds redemption, a mother watches her son be crucified and a Roman Centurion declares, “Surely this man was the Son of God.” Likewise, the crucifixion of Jesus has reached many of us in ways we never expected. What some thought would be the ultimate defeat only led to the greatest victory the world has ever known.

The Towel

If any of you are struggling with the authenticity of Christ. Please know that his coming, his living and his dying fulfilled prophetic understandings of Him centuries before His being born to this earth. 3 ways to authenticate Christ: Fulfilled prophecy, Historical data, and Life testimony. That day riding into Jerusalem, Jesus fulfilled one of many prophecies regarding Him. It was by intent that Jesus entered Jerusalem that day riding on a donkey. His intent was to provoke His way to the cross.
