Overriding Authority | Empowered (Ep. 6)

Satan and evil spirits actively try to cause trouble to all of us, sometimes in very sneaky ways. The good news is that when we are too weak to face them, Jesus has already defeated them on the cross and through the grave! Are you willing to come under Jesus’ authority to overcome evil spirits?

Join Pastor J.B. as he teaches us about what evil spirits are, and how we can exercise our God-given authority to override their influence in our lives, relying firmly on the Kingship of Christ and the love He poured out for us.

Thanks For Letting Me No | Empowered (Ep. 5)

Declining or rejecting someone can sometimes make us look harsh or impolite - does that align with how we should live as Christians? When, if at all, should we say no to someone?

The truth is, saying no to some things can make room for God’s best things in your life. Even Jesus said no to certain requests during His ministry on earth. Join Pastor J.B. as he helps us adopt wise discernment on saying no, putting the focus ultimately on God first, before anyone or anything else.

Unwavering Trust | Empowered (Ep. 4)

How much are you willing to lean onto God and His ways? Sometimes, trusting God can feel like giving up our own balance and security - do we believe in Him enough to declare that He will catch us?

Join THRIVE Preaching Student Carmen Hui as she provides living and biblical examples of the strength and blessings that trusting in God brings, and teaches us how to draw closer to the Father in fuller, deeper ways.

Strength in the Waiting | Empowered (Ep. 3)

Waiting for something or someone can drain us of energy and strength, whether it's sitting in traffic, listening to customer service on-hold music, or expecting an important email or exam result. Can waiting on God actually supply us the strength we need in our current seasons?

Join Pastor J.B. as he explores what it means to wait on the Father, and how we can learn to be spiritually nourished in the midst of our waiting on Him.

Fierce Declaration | Empowered (Ep. 2)

How do you regularly pray to God? We might pray to worship Him, to confess something to Him, to thank Him, or to ask Him for help, but we can also pray to declare His power and Word to set the direction of our lives. We’ve seen powerful declarations made by many throughout the Bible, from King David to Jesus Himself!

Join Pastor J.B. as he unfolds how making declarations invites God’s transformative power and work into our lives, and how we can practically incorporate declarations into our personal walk with Jesus.
