Christ followers count the cost and choose to pay it. What does it cost you to be a follower of Jesus Christ? 

Equipping nights will explore the distinguishing characteristics of a Jesus Christ follower.

Tim Dickerson: This is the hour of receiving and possessing God's promises for your future. Hearing is no longer enough. It is time to own them like Joshua. The promises given to Joshua are promises for us as well. Do not be timid when among giants, but see them as opportunities for God's power and might to win your battles.

Gary Hopkins: It is so important that we learn how to live powerfully through poor choices, failures and weaknesses. Both the Lord and the devil are drawn to those moments with opposing agendas. Both use the same methodology to achieve their purpose. Discover how to live accepted, loved and empowered to become more like Jesus in those times.

Tim Dickerson: Most people get saved enough to go to heaven, but not enough to inherit the Kingdom. The test is always Lordship, repeatedly. We will discuss some of the things it takes to have more of the Kingdom realm here on earth. The battle is always in the mind—how do we occupy that promised land?

Gary Hopkins: The Promised Land is a land of fulfillment. It is what we were born for. God has an incredible future in store for us and it is our responsibility to move into it. It is all about choice.

Tim Dickerson: The story of the Promised Land is a picture of the Kingdom life. Their journey is also your journey. God's promise means he is giving you a territory occupied by the enemy. The abyss between the way we think and the way God thinks is the battle in the mind. Let's explore closing that gap! The promised land is not coming to you, you must go to it.

Gary Hopkins: Three keys to discovering negative self-talk AND creating a mindset culture of healthy self-talk.

Attaching Faith to the Promises of God

A lot of what we ache for must be pursued. The Christian life is not a passive life. The worst that can happen to us is that we settle down and remain in the same spot. Faithfulness sets the stage for the explosive touch and move of God.
