We all face the kinds of circumstances that require that we go past what we think we can endure in order to serve God. Sometimes it's a person in our lives that exhausts all of our natural abilities to be loving and patient. Sometimes it's a temptation to give in to lust or pride that will push us to our limits and make our flesh desperately desire to defy God's Word.

In this very encouraging message, Minister Chris Facey gives us ways that we can fight against the temptation to give up on God when the going gets tough. We all need courage if we're going to be Christians--this walk is not always easy. Will you stand when everything inside is telling you you'll never make it? This is a very timely message.

Sometimes we as Christians may not realize that what we say and do sends a message to people about who and what we are. This is especially true when we go through trials because in trials we show everyone, including God and ourselves, not only what we are made of but where our confidence is.

A Christian is supposed to go through trials differently from everyone else, but we often find ourselves scared so God can't use us to send the world a message about His faithfulness. Pastor Cox challenges us not to be "ska-er-da" in the midst of opposition because it's through opposition we find a closer walk with God and we give the world a stronger testimony of His goodness.

In the day-to-day battles of Christian living it is natural to fall into complacency and forget that it is not easy to remain standing against the attacks that will face your faith. But God's Word tells us not just to stand any old way but to "stand firm," and it says this with good reason.

From those exalting secondary issues, to cults, to the world, to your own heart, everything is in competition for our faith. In this sermon, Pastor Justin Cox encourages us to have a Holy Ghost dog bark in us in order to stand and guard the property of our hearts against any thing or person in our lives that might challenge our relationship with Christ.

Danielle Williams, formerly known in the porn industry as "Queen B," is now, at the age of twenty-one, a dedicated Christian. This is a truly inspiring story of the mercy of God on a life that was previously defined by sex--from molestation and abuse, to rape, to exotic dancing, to prostitution, to becoming a porn star.

Listen in as she exposes the life behind the fascade given to the $40 billion porn industry, and how she was taken from a whirl of sexual immorality and brought to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, where she has found a new identity and true purpose.

If you've ever seen someone on the side of the road in a Statue of Liberty costume to advertise for an organization, you may have noticed how committed they are to their jobs. They ought to make us question just how dedicated we are to God. Are we as unashamed to represent Christ as they are to represent the company they work for?

We ought to have more dedication to Christ than to anything in our lives because of what He has done for us. We should be down for whatever God may have for us. Pastor Justin Cox gives us three principles to apply to our lives to ensure that our dedication to Christ won't suck. This is a helpful and very practical message to believers.

We have all done things that we regret. We've all made decisions that have made us wish we could redo some moments in our lives...things that have thrown us into pits before God and people that are hard to get out of. We tend to make these kinds of bad decisions because we are not considering just how our decisions are going to impact those around us and what the ultimate consequence of those decisions will be for ourselves.

In this sermon Pastor Cox begins by asking the congregation what the dumbest decisions are that they have ever made. He then goes on to emphasize the necessity of keeping our eyes on 1. how our choices today will impact tomorrow and 2. the importance of keeping our eyes on the soon return of Christ in order to avoid losing, not only our loved ones, reputations, careers, or lives, but even our souls.

We come across moments in our lives everyday that are impossible for us to live for Christ through if we do not prepare ourselves beforehand to come up against them. We can sometimes see these kinds of situations from afar--problems at work, temptations to lust around certain people at school, drama at home--and unless we prepare for these trials we won't stand when the time comes.

How do we prepare for trials if we want to live for Christ? Pastor Cox shares from God's Word about Apostle Paul's heart and how he got ready for trials before they came--his determination to be unashamed, his search for enough courage to stand in each moment, and his ever-present desire to magnify Christ in his circumstances. This sermon will convict and challenge you to make sure Christ is at the center of your heart and life.

We’ve all heard the terrible stories of prison life through documentaries, movies, or from people who have been there and come back. None of us want to be there. It is a place of extreme discomfort. But often times, though we may not realize it, God will deliberately place us in “prisons” in our lives so that we can impact more lives for Him.

It may be that you just want to be comfortable and problem free, and you say you’ll serve God then, but if you wait until then the people around you in your prison—your uncomfortable circumstances—won’t be able to see the light of Christ shinning in the midst of the darkness. It may be tough but don’t pity yourself, look up and find Christ where you are.

Pastor Cox preaches a sermon on rejoicing in the midst of the difficult circumstances in our lives that we feel stuck in, and encourages us to use every opportunity in our trials to preach the true gospel to those around us.

A tree that is half covered in fruit or leaves and is half naked just doesn’t look right. Why does one side seem dead and the other seem alive? The same is true spiritually. Often times people may appear to trust Christ in one area and find strength in that area but when it comes to being submitted in every area, well…let’s just say there are some bald spots.

When we have areas in our lives that we know are not lining up with His Word we often will seek comfort in scriptures that talk about God accepting us when we’ve fallen or we will become anxious and start trying to fix those areas and we fail to realize that all the power of the Christian life comes from the grace of God because of our faith in Christ.

This is a short message that is a little more like a teaching than the ordinary message preached by Pastor Cox. In this sermon we are encouraged to “tap into” Christ where all the power, joy, and fullness of the Christian life are found.

Every New Year people tend to make promises they are going to try and keep in the up coming year. We all like the idea of taking advantage of the changing of the year by using it as an excuse to fix the things in our lives that we would like to change either about ourselves or our circumstances.

Usually we make resolutions about losing weight or finances but in this sermon Pastor Cox gives us ten bangin’ New Year’s resolutions for Christians. Some of these have to do with how we relate to people, some have to do with how we relate to God, and some are how we relate to sin. I was both convicted and blessed while I listened to this very encouraging message on how we ought to usher in the new year.
