Pastor Willard talks to us about all the blessings that occur in taking the detours God has for us during our life. God is preparing us in the process of these detours. God wants us to rely on Him, not what we used to rely on. The most powerful thing we can do is have a transformed mind. In our detour, there is purpose for God to deliver and use us! In our ignorance, God's love is shown for His people. Any area the enemy can keep you ignorant, he's got you beat. Sometimes the shorter routes are not always the better routes. Detours carry God's blessing. There is purpose, protection and potential in our detours. You have to build trust with God even when the path seems unclear. God is trying to break the slavery mentality in our detour. God's detours let us get rid of the past!

Pastor Sergio tells us all about why Jesus came to the earth and all the gifts He has for us. Jesus came here to pay the penalty of our sins so we don't have to live in guilt for the wrongs we've done. He came to buy us back from those that are holding us in bondage and the works of the devil. But, most importantly Jesus came to bring us back into the family of God! He came to give us the gift of the Holy Spirit!

Pastor Sergio talks to us about why before we can destroy darkness in others, we have to destroy the darkness inside ourselves first. Before we focus on our purpose, we have to focus on our destiny to conform to the ways of Jesus. We have to learn what Jesus is like! We cannot just serve God when it's convenient. Jesus didn't die on the cross for comfortable Christianity! Jesus came to pay the price for our sins. Because He suffered for us, we have to suffer for Him. If we're going to follow Jesus, it won't be easy. Without the power of God in our walk, our Christian faith is no good. When serving God gets difficult, we don't quit! If we have no sacrifice in our lives, there is no power of God.

Pastor Sergio talks to us about how we can't make up or serve our own idea of what we think Jesus is. God made Jesus' purpose to crush the serpent in our life. Jesus is more than just the forgiver of our sins, even though that is still amazing! We can't just claim Jesus in our lives and nothing changes. We have to understand Jesus is our conquering King! We have to look at God how David did in Psalms, so we can overcome the behaviors that continue to be roadblocks in our lives. Jesus came to redeem us and to crush these works of the devil! The law of sin and death tells us the more we sin, the more death produces in the areas in our lives. The first thing sin produces is death in our spirit. Jesus came to set us free from this and break the chains of bondage in our lives!

Pastor Sergio talks to us about how Jesus and His Word are one. Jesus' Word are spirit and life. Jesus said My Word is spirit, the flesh profits nothing. We all hear the voices of our flesh and our spirit. We have to get the voice of God to be the dominant voice. Apart from God's Word, there is no power, it is the standard that brings life and wisdom! Jesus' Word gives us life even if we can't feel it. Even Jesus' hard words bring life. We can't be Christians, but still want our old self and the world. We're not called to be of the world. We cannot be a compromiser, our old life will us up. We may be our family's only hope. Compromise will open the door to devour our children. We must develop and live by Godly principles and never negotiate!

Pastor Sergio talks to us about the importance about giving thanks to God and the people in our lives. We cannot lost Thanksgiving. What always brings the presence of God is a thankful heart! We're building the presence of God with our singing and praising. Thankfulness is a prerequisite for entertaining God. When you express thankfulness to God, He reigns His goodness and mercy. Goodness and mercy always follow a person who knows how to remain thankful and give praises to God. Thankfulness is a characteristic of the new nature and who you are in Christ. Everyday we have to decide if we're going to be the new me or the old me in our life with Christ. The act of being thankful promotes positive mental health!
