A Relationship with God Part 1
Pastor Ashley shows us through Revelation 4 that, in heaven, there is a culture of worship. We, too, should have a culture of worship in our lives because of our relationship with God. God doesn't need our sacrifices or our efforts. He created us for relationship with Him, first and foremost. All of our human efforts should be borne out of that relationship and never a result of obligation.

Say YesWhile Jesus was on the earth, He was always teaching His disciples to be like Him. He did not live His life as a receiver, but rather as a giver and a doer. The Word says that Christians will be identified by their fruit. You are unable to "produce" if you go through life as a receiver. Pastor Ashley shows us how to move from the receiving stage of Christianity to the giving stage in order to live a transformed life. One of the ways we can do this is to "say yes." When given the opportunity to serve/give, say "yes."
