“Take delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
Pastor Jason McMullen exhorts the church to pursue holiness by removing even the smallest traces of sin (the "hint"), grounding the call in Ephesians 5 and other Scriptures. He stresses God's seriousness about sin, the higher standard for believers, and offers seven practical steps—prayer, relying on given tools (Word, Spirit, community), identifying habits/hang-ups/hindrances, confession and repentance, embracing grace, accepting consequences/accountability, and embracing freedom—to help Christians remove sinful patterns and host greater presence and breakthrough.
“Delight thyself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
Pastor Chas Stephenson taught on the next major end-times event for the church: the rapture (the catching up of believers). He explained the biblical sequence (dead in Christ rise first; living believers are caught up), argued for a pre-tribulation view (the church is exempt from God’s coming wrath), urged urgent evangelism, and encouraged baptism and Spirit-filled living.
“The Bible says if you delight yourself in the Lord, he'll give you what?”
A Bible study on prophetic vision (Habakkuk 2:1) defining vision as "God's preferred plan." The speaker emphasizes that vision must be received from God, requires standing watch, humility, waiting, present faithfulness, and the re-education of perception so your priorities, loyalties, and obedience align with God's revealed will.
“God wants to give you the desires of your heart (that's what the Bible says).”
Pastor Eddie Vargas preaches on Vision Sunday (launching the 'Thrive' series), urging the church to recover and pursue God-given vision for personal lives, families, and the congregation. He emphasizes prioritizing spiritual formation over extracurriculars, waiting on God's timing amid opposition, and practical steps—prayer, fasting, writing the vision down, stewardship, and mobilizing volunteers—to advance Restoration Life's outreach and planting vision across the South Bay.
