In our walk with God, we encounter resistance on a daily basis from the world as it tries to pull you away from what the Lord has for us. Surviving in this fallen world requires persisting. Sometimes, we need a reminder about our blessings and about how important the presence of the Lord is in our lives. Join us in Wilmington as Cory Meade continue…

What kind of house we build for God is a question asked in the Book of Isaiah and again in the book of Acts. Particularly in this season, what kind of house we set our course upon to build for God is important. Christ being the cornerstone is central. As we demonstrate the heart of humble servant and gain more understanding of the commitment and lo…

"Once Jesus was in a certain place praying. As he finished, one of his disciples came up to him and said, 'Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.'" (Luke 11:1 NLT). Prayer should be birthed out of relationship with the Father. In the gospels, you see Jesus demonstrating this and teaching his disciples as well. Join us in Mooresv…

The saving work of Jesus is central to the Christian faith. But how does it work? The subject of the Atonement has been wrestled with for millennia, theologians trying to make sense of the many ways that scripture explains the life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus. How does this God-man's existence translate to eternal salvation for huma…

Jacob famously wrestled with God, demanding a blessing from Him. In life, we can often experience moments of wrestling in the midst of moves of God, and it can feel like God is leaving us in the dust. As we reflect on an amazing year at Camp Morley, we look at Jacob and God struggling together, and what happens when we persist with God. Join us in …

In Mark 12:28-34, Jesus quoted the Shema, one of only two prayers specifically commanded in the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 6:4-9). The first word of the Shema is "Hear." In Hebrew, "Shema" means hearing, understanding, and obeying. When the prayer begins with "Hear, O Israel," it calls us to attentiveness and action. The Holy Spirit seeks those who…

While encounters with the Lord are transformative, and highly valuable, they won't sustain us by themselves. As seen in Hebrews 3:3-35, the Israelites hardened their hearts and turned away from the Lord on multiple occasions even after seeing miracles for over 40 years. The author of Hebrews leverages the Israelites' experience to remind us to not …

In a society that has a tendency towards individualism and isolation, God has given an invitation for the church to learn to live together in community and to prioritize connection over division. There is a gift for hearts when we learn to live connected rather than disconnected. Join us in Chapel Hill as guest speaker Andy Squyres unpacks a revela…

There are many voices worldwide, but too many are just echoes. You were made to be a voice in your generation, not an echo. You'll never find your authentic voice by chasing trends, imitating others, or letting culture or the devil define who you are. God shouts His truth but whispers His secrets. To find our genuine voice, we have to bend to hear …

We know that God is good (Ps. 119:68, Luke 18:18-19) and that he loves to give us good gifts (Jam. 1:17, Matt. 7:7-11). We also know that we are God's beloved children and heirs (Gal. 4:6-7). With those truths we can communicate with our loving Father, asking Him with boldness and confidence for the things that are in our hearts and those which we …

The youth of RiverLife recently returned from Camp Morley. The theme this year was Unveiled: "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord," (2 Corinthians 3:18 NKJV). There are four veils which were removed by the sac…

The voice of the Lord is powerful! As believers, we all have the ability to hear His voice as we see in John 10, where Jesus says, "My sheep hear My voice and they follow me." As we grow in an understanding that we can hear the voice of God, we can also begin to grow and move in the prophetic. The purpose of prophecy is to release edification, exho…

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10), is a well-known verse in the Book of Proverbs. It may be one of the most misunderstood. The word "fear" is hard to overcome because, in our human experience, fear is associated with adverse situations. The second part of the verse gives us the answer. Wisdom flows from seeing God for …

As we carry the Kingdom of Heaven into this world we're reminded that we do so as citizens of Heaven (Phil. 3:20, Eph. 2:19). It should be common for us to feel like outsiders in a land where our primary citizenship does not lie. While we are recognized as a people that don't belong to this world, and sometimes hated for it (John 17:14-21), we are …

At the very center of the Gospel is the proclamation that Jesus made in Luke 4: "I have come to heal broken hearts." That mandate that Jesus declared over himself is also true of every believer.

In order to effectively live our lives and walk out out callings, we have to learn how to rely on Grace in our daily lives. We have been invited to participate in the work of the Kingdom, but as we see from many examples in the Bible, its very easy to fall out of Grace in this work and into striving. When we are striving, and attempting to work out…

Fatigue is one of the greatest enemies to our spiritual life! As they say, “Never make major life decisions at 2am!” Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke…

The Bible mentions the phrase "Tree of Life" ten times: three times in Genesis, four times in Proverbs, and three times in Revelation. In Genesis and Revelation, it is called "The Tree of Life." In Proverbs, it is "a tree of life." However, when Proverbs calls wisdom "a tree of life," it doesn't mean that wisdom is "The Tree of Life." When Proverbs…

As we partner with God to do his kingdom work, we are qualified as we let him work through us. We need to be careful not to get caught up in Comparison Culture, which is so prevalent in our society. Comparing our ministries and callings to those of other people is a trap that is all too easy to fall into. Join us in Wilmington as special guest spea…

In John 13, Jesus replied, "You don't understand what I am doing, but someday you will." This is usually how prophecy works. Have you ever received a Word that you didn't understand? Looking back we can recollect what God was trying to communicate, but upon receiving new communication from Jesus we can feel confused and even confounded. However, th…

Being successful in our callings is not just about preparing and finishing well, it's also about how we continue our walk.

The Book of Proverbs teaches us that Wisdom is like a path, and when we seek to walk that path, we discover that Jesus Christ is its essence. Any path devoid of Christ leads to a dead end. Thankfully, God has shown us the path of life in Christ and offered us the beauty of this path. Wisdom is a promise for those seeking it (James 1:5), and Wisdom …

Throughout the Old Testament, the Biblical Authors use the image of the grapevine and fig tree as a symbol of prosperity, safety, and blessing. One of the things Jesus came to do on this Earth was bring the Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth. Though it was not a physical location, we as believers still have access to the Kingdom of Heaven now. As the …

Passover started April 22nd. What does Passover have to do with a Sound Mind? Everything! Jesus is our perfect Passover Lamb. He is without blemish/sin; He was despised and rejected; He was betrayed and executed; His blood was shed in order that Death would pass over you and I! Jesus grew up eating the Passover. He understood the symbolism and spir…

In 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, Paul the Apostle discusses the "thorn in his flesh," an affliction he struggled with which he apparently thought inhibited his ability to minister. He plead with the Lord to take the affliction away, but the Lord responded by saying "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." As Christians w…

Joshua's life provides amazing guidance to help us as we prepare to walk out our callings.

These lessons are invaluable to us. Join us in Wi…
