Before you can stand in the gap, you need to make up the hedge. Today, we look at someone in the Old Testament who decided to step outside of God's protection and boundaries and as a result affected his fellow brothers and sisters in their walk with the Lord.

Outside of a relationship with Christ, a teens relationship with their parents is the most important one regardless of whether or not your parents are saved. As we'll see, parental guidance plays a huge role in what kind of spouse and parent you will be in the future.

God is searching for gap-fillers: one individual who chooses to step up when no one else will. That starts - and is sustained - by possessing the fear of the Lord.

We begin by looking at the most important relationship you will ever have - the relationship of which all relationships flow out of: our relationship with Christ. We begin at the end...the end of walking by faith before it is forever by sight (2 Cor. 5:7). On that day, we will be forever changed into his image. The reality is, we are to be changed daily as we walk with him (Rom. 12:1-2; 8:29). What needs to change as a result of this message?

This message serves as a post-winter camp follow-up as well as a potent reminder of the people that God uses to accomplish his will. Remember: once we chose to accept Christ, he chose to accept us into the beloved regardless of our past, our insecurities, our imperfections and a slew of other reasons. So carry on!

Senior Alex Mencini brings the Word tonight with a message God has laid on his heart. Do you need to humble yourself under the mighty hand of God?

Does your walk match your talk? Are you walking in the light or do you occasionally dip into the dark? Are you only honoring God with your lips while your heart is far from him.

If you know him, do you love him? Do you keep his commandments? Do you love this world more than him? Do you love one another?

We kick off winter camp with an examination of the last discipleship lesson Jesus had with his followers. You have to decide which side of the fence you're on.

The world has a LOT to offer. Even if we're not steeped and immersed into seeking all the fame and fortune of the world, all it takes is one distraction here and one distraction there to get us completely off track of where God wants us to be. Are there any distractions you have going into winter camp? Are there any waiting for you when you return?

Having a world vision means that no matter what it is you go on to do in life, your mission is to glorify God by making disciples. Whether you're a student, doctor, lawyer, homemaker, an electrician, or a plumber, you are all of those things SECONDARILY. This final stage realizes that you are first and foremost a disciple-maker.

Every believer is destined to be a leader to some degree or another. The question should always be "who's following you?" If you're not leading someone to the foot of the cross or in one-on-one discipleship, are you truly growing in your walk with the Lord?

This stage is all about the closeness that comes as a result of immense trials. As God begins to develop leaders, he also refines them for greater purposes. This growth step brings about a nearness to Jesus similar to that of the three Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace. The question now remains: what's next?

If stage 3 is all about a disciple having the natural desire to ask "what can I do for the Lord?", stage 4 is all about servant leadership training. What's your next step as a disciple? Are you prepared to step up and lead as a student-leader?

Why do so many in Christianity want you to think that Christians are going through the Tribulation Period? Why is there such a strong pull for Christian Nationalism all of a sudden? Does the Bible have anything to say on the matter?

This message is all about desire. What is the Holy Spirit of God specifically asking you to do in your life as you walk with him? Are you walking close enough with the Lord that you know clearly what it is that God wants from you?

Tonight, we look back to last week's message on Israel and ask the question: How did we get here? Why are things so messed up, and how can we overcome this day and age?

The stage where your walk with God really begins to take off. There's stumbling's, there's falls, but the Little Child gets back up and continues walking with the Father. Is this you?

Is God done with the Nation of Israel? Is the church the true Israel of God? Is it wrong to bless Israel? Why are so many talking heads on our feeds discussing this and what does the Bible have to say on the matter?

Feeling the urge to skip because "you're beyond this stage"? Don't be wise in your own conceits. Let's evaluate ourselves honestly and also consider our younger brethren in the faith on how we can minister to their needs.
