If you’re stuck where best thinking has got you, it’s time to change your thinking.

God won’t force Himself into your heart, but He does want to change you and heal the hurt behind your destructive behaviors.

How does change happen? Often, change begins with a crisis; the journey of changing is a process. The process of change is hard work.

And if you fail in the process? Return to the crisis. Remember why you began this journey and get help that will help you continue.

Let’s Reject the Voice of Rejection. Refuse to accept what our failures say – and lean into how the God who made us sees us.

Dr. James MacDonald preaches without apology straight from the pages of Scripture, provoking Christians to think and act on their faith.

WE ALL EXPERIENCE REJECTION – and its scars can remain a heavy burden. But if, in dealing with it, your solution does not leave you closer to God, it was not God’s solution for you.

You must continue on in faith! If you believe that God’s blessings are for other people and not for you, if you believe that God is secretly somehow angry with you over the things that you regret, then you need to know a lot more about the Lord!

Join us in faith as we continue learning to handle this difficult subject. Open your Bible to Matthew 5:25 and get ready for Rejecting Rejection – First This!

Spiritual warfare. It is a hard and heavy journey. Before you know it, you’ll be in a box – ego, pride and circumstance are very temporary.

We must focus on the eternal battle in front of us. By the power of God, we can – and must – destroy the strongholds that keep us stuck in distraction from what matters most. If you are battling with a past rejection, look to Jesus – who came to save the enslaved captives!

Open your Bible to Matthew 11, for part two of Accept Rejection Now

What is the biggest hurt impacting your life today?

Too often, we’re looking for freedom but stuck in our hurt. Some injuries are recent, others decades old yet still wreaking havoc our lives.

Emotional healing is one of the most visible needs of our day – and it was a primary focus of Jesus’ ministry. So bring the Lord those wounded places in your heart, mind and life that most need His touch.

Open to Matthew 11:28, and let’s find help, hope and healing…

Ever have so many bad days it seems everything’s going wrong? When your life is finally going in the right direction, when you’re focused on following Jesus, struggles and roadblocks still appear.

When you feel hard pressed and trapped, it’s time to stop and turn to the Lord.

Even Jesus had bad days and faced rejection and betrayal.“…Always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬ ‭When you’re backed into a corner, He is there. When you don’t understand, He is there. When you’re under attack, He is there. As John Wesley declared in his final breath, “Best of all. God is with us.“

Join us for this powerful new teaching – What I Think When Things Go Bad.

True brotherhood is ready to join you in warfare. A brother is with you in the trenches, even at your worst. And our war is not physical or fleshly, it’s spiritual.

God has given us the weapons and the ability to win the fight – and to destroy destructive patterns of thinking.

Brotherhood fights together, but we all have individual battles. We need to detect and destroy the strongholds in our disposition and with the Lord’s help and the strength of brothers (and sisters) bring them in conformity to Christ.

Lean in with us and learn the truth about ourselves and our spiritual battle…
