How to Stop "Doing Church"
Friday Sep 02, 2016
Friday Sep 02, 2016
What comes to your mind when you think of Church? For many Christians, Church conjures up images of singing, group potlucks, a list of rules, and a collection box. The Church as God intended it, however, was meant for so much more!
You have an eternal responsibility to make judicial, legislative, and governmental decisions for the changing of society. This week at Epic Life, Brian Orme encourages and challenges all believers to step out of their boxes of knowledge and begin operating in wisdom. His message is full of Biblical insights and mind-blowing truths. You don’t want to miss it.
“Wisdom is the application of revelation so that there can be transformation.” --Brian Orme.

God & Trials Part 2: The Truth About Joy in Trials
Thursday Aug 18, 2016
Thursday Aug 18, 2016
This week, Eric Knopf continues our series about trials and tribulations. The Bible tells us we will have trouble: and it also says to have joy in all things. Does this mean we are to celebrate for our trouble? No. Many Christians are confused about their biblical mandate for joy and end up shipwrecked in their faith when they face hardship and disappointment. We are called to have joy IN all circumstances, not for them. Don’t wait until you have a tragedy to figure out your theology. Listen in, now to learn the truth about trials, joy, and unshakeable hope.
“When your theology is correct, pain is not a threat to your joy or faith.” — Eric Knopf

God & Trials Part 1: Where is God in Tragedy?
Thursday Aug 11, 2016
Thursday Aug 11, 2016
This week, Eric Knopf kicks off our series on trials and tribulations. The prevailing theology of our time says that God is responsible for everything— including grave tragedies and heartbreaking hardships. Sadly, this line of thinking has left many Christians depressed or shipwrecked in their faith, because they believe God is authoring their pain. This blend of theology is not only incorrect but incompatible with God’s character. If you have ever wrestled with questions about where trials come from, or how to respond to them, you do not want to miss this message! Listen in to hear some insight and truth!

Right now, there’s no greater need in ministry, in families, and in our country, than unity. Christ died so that we can walk in unity! In tonight’s sermon, Eric Waterbury shares some powerful insights about what the Holy Spirit is teaching him about unity. We can remain in unity with people we don’t agree with, and even with people, we don’t necessarily like. He teaches about vulnerability, deep love, the ongoing process of restoration, the unity of the faith, and the true meaning of glory.
If you’re ready to crack open your mind and your heart, this is a sermon you want to listen to!
Featured Scripture: My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. -- John 17:20-2

Building Character for Transitions
Thursday Jul 28, 2016
Thursday Jul 28, 2016
Tonight, Pastor Damien Giacchino preaches about developing godly character as we transition in life. Did you know that every blessing you are contending for requires a certain level of character to handle? Often times we pray for things that we don’t have the character to sustain. In transition, it is our character that sustains us more than our circumstances.
Godly character comes from kingdom values being mirrored into your life. If you want to thrive in the kingdom and receive the fullness of what God has for you, start developing your character.

Thursday Jun 30, 2016
In tonight’s sermon, Eric Waterbury teaches about fear. Fear is one of the most powerful emotions that exists on the planet. It’s debilitating, soul-crushing and the Devil’s main instrument. When a person stays in fear too long it becomes their new normal.
What are you afraid of? What lies are attached to dreams that you don't even have the courage to think about anymore?
See, the fears that most debilitate us are very subtle. With Biblical wisdom and personal testimony, Eric teaches about dealing with fear, and being courageous as we overcome circumstances. If you're ready to confront your fears, listen in!
