Can we move mountains?
Daily Word — In Mark 11, it appears that Jesus tells us we can speak to mountains, and they will move because of our words. Is this more literal reading the proper way to understand this text? If so, what does this interpretation mean for the mountains blocking our calling? Links — CFE Atlanta, Bible Study, Open Forums, Online Community, Ministry School, Partnership

The resurrection restored our identity
Bible Study — In the beginning of creation, God created us in His image and after His likeness. Our identity was in Him; and He designed us to rule and created us like Him. However, Satan tricked mankind out of their identity with a lie. God sent Jesus to restore our identity as sons and daughters of God. Through Jesus' death and resurrection, our identity is restored. The resurrection of Jesus is our rebirth into sonship. We are back to who we were in the beginning. Links — CFE Atlanta, Bible Study, Open Forums, Online Community, Partnership
Fear creates a Future you don't want
Daily Word — Fear is a dangerous mindset that creates a future you don't want. It's a future of failure, frustrations, and unachieved goals because fear robs you of the faith required to succeed in life and business. Therefore, we must guard our mind and emotions against fear so we can succeed in the calling God has given us.

Move without knowing why!

Was the resurrection real?
Sunday Service Online — None of us were born at the time of the resurrection of Jesus, which means everything we know about the resurrections comes from the Bible.

Take some time off from your calling
Open Forum — We discussed how that in this season of growth, success can be slow. This slow success could tempt you to work harder and not take time off. However, we need to remember that the success of our calling is not from the time we put into it, but from the faith we have. Therefore, take some time off so you don't burn out. We also discussed how we should set goals, why following God is simpler than our hustle, and other great topics. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership
Marriage is not what we think it is

Forgive yourself

Oftentimes, the individuals selected to assume these roles have been mentored and trained for the appointed time. The idea of succession planning was instituted by God. He has been structuring and choosing people from the beginning to continue his administration in the earth. Jesus's mission was to establish, legislate and demonstrate how to fill God's Succession Plan. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Did Jesus miss it?
Daily Word — I have a question: "Did Jesus miss it?" Just hearing that question sounds crazy, but there is a story in the New Testament in which it appears to have taken Jesus two tries to heal a blind man. If this is true, it opens up all kids of theological questions about the power of God. How could Jesus, who was not only the son of God but also God, require more than one time to do something right? If this is the case, this could weaken our faith in the power of God, and put in doubt some of the things we're believing for. Therefore, let's examine this question in today's message.

Doubting any part weakens faith
Daily Word — There are many parts of the Bible that go against our natural understanding and are supernatural and miraculous. So what do we do with that?
