Discerning the next Dimension

By Pastor Warren Richardson What is it? God made everything out of the gross wealth of what He thought! Things in your life will be the residual of how you think. When I start drilling down into the next; I see people just getting by/existing. How do you gather a team around you if you don’t have measurable goals? Growth is intentional! GOD, GOALS, GUIDANCE If you don’t aim at it you won’t hit it! Joshua 5:13-14 (NIV) Whatever you give yourself to it will give to you. Study

Mentoring

By Pastor Warren Richardson LEADING Live To Lead Leadership is not for the faint of heart. We are summoned to lead. Leading is mentoring, coaching, and training. Anointing by Association, Succession, and Impartation. The great divide is that sometimes leaders are not even aware of the next! With growth comes stretching and changing.

Relationships

By Pastor Warren Richardson “The Law of Synergy and God's Purpose” The real change is chosen change! Philippians 2:2 The law of change says: Things are going to change’ Sometimes things need to change Things are going to change with or without me.

Marriage

Pastor Warren Richardson Genesis 2:24 Ephesians 4:3 Many are married but they are not joined. A Godly marriage is like a triangle God’s plan for oneness is ONE PICTURE.

Rehab or Reboot

By Pastor Warren Richardson If you're not willing to change, don't expect your life to either! 1. Reveal your pain, especially when shame keeps you hiding. Shame based living is really toxic!

Embraced by The Holy Spirit

By Pastor Warren Richardson “Come Know the Holy Spirit” John 14:16-17 Many people don’t know the Holy Spirit and don’t know how to get to know Him. The key here is to become acutely sensitive to the movement of the Holy Spirit. “Step Aside” to let His movement and plan come forth. Zechariah 2:13 NIV Be still before the Lord, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling. The Holy Spirit is always moving and He longs to share what heaven wants to do in the

Creating a Kingdom Culture

Who God is to us, He will be through us. When Jesus taught during His earthly ministry the crowds of people responded in three ways: ● Some disbelieved ● Some believed ● Some went away confused and not knowing what to believe When it comes to joining God, it seems human nature is quite the same. Looking up the definition of join, it gives the example of a pipe joined together so closely that you cannot see the seam where one pipe ends and the other begins. Some people state t
