Church for Entrepreneurs

Open Forum — We discussed that in this year of growth, we will have to go through good pressure. Good pressure causes us to grow, so can achieve what God wants us to achieve. We also discussed the meaning of a dream one of the attendees had. The interpretation of their dream has implications for all of us (especially those in network marketing).

Daily Word — When I was younger, I believed that if I had enough faith, I would be invincible from all problems. However, as I got older and learned more about the Bible, I discovered that it is not quite like that. While having faith does overcomes all problems, faith does not make me invincible like superman. Rather, faith makes me a child led by my father, God. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — Fear is contagious among non-believers because they don't have the antibodies to fight it, which is hope. However, as believers if we are not careful we can catch the fear virus if we give up our hope. The Bible instructs us not to fear like those who have no hope. Us fighting fear with hope is a sign to unbelievers that Jesus is real. Let's hope, not fear. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Sunday Service Online — Money makes the world go round, but if we are not careful, money will stop our calling. Allowing money to drive our decisions will always cause us to make decisions that move us away from the calling God has placed in our heart. Therefore, we need to guard our hearts and minds to make sure money does not replace God in our life. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — Fear is a tool of Satan designed to destroy believers and non-believers alike. Therefore, in times of great distress our mission is to stop the growth of fear in our hearts. We stop fear's growth by cutting off its food source, which is repetition. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — Because you are a follower of Jesus Christ the world is going to hate you. I know this because Jesus told us so. He said, since the world hated me, they will hate you. However, it really doesn't matter because we have an abundance of God's presence to protect us from all forms of worldly persecutions and attacks.

Open Forum — We answered more questions about cryptocurrency and discussed whether this could be the mark of the beast. We also discussed that just because a technology can be used with evil intent doesn't mean we shouldn't use it with God's purposes in mind. As we wrapped up, encouragement was given to those who are being led by God to quit their jobs. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — One of the most powerful things we can do while living on earth is to grow spiritually. The more we grow spiritually, the better we can experience God's glory in our lives. Spiritual growth enables us to overcome difficult situations and accomplish great feats. Tune in to today's Daily Word to learn about the four things God has given us to aid in our spiritual growth. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Open Forum — We discussed that we will not be perfect in the implementation of our calling and that we should learn from our failures; how your vision becomes clearer when you step into your calling; how trying to please people will stop your calling; not pursuing your skills, but your calling; and other interesting topics about achieving your calling.

Daily Word — The Word of God is not something you learn one time. Instead, it requires that you constantly study it so that it can be effective in your life. In fact, if you slack off in your study of the Word, you will lose the revelations you once received from it. In today's Daily Word learn more about this concept and discover a simple method to keep the Word in your heart. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — We have been studying the love of money because this sin determines who is your god. Either the Lord is your God or money is your god. As we wrap up this topic (for now), I am discussing two ways the love of money will attempt to silence Christians from speaking against beliefs that are opposite God's ways. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — As we have learned, the love of money is serving money over God. One of the manifestations of this sin is trusting money over God, which causes us to hold onto or hoard money. One way to counteract this is to be intentional with your generosity. Acting intentionally will train you to be generous and directly fight the love of money from taking root in your heart.

Pastoral Chat —Communion is a memorial for Christian Faith. It serves as both sword and shield when fighting the good fight of faith. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — Scripture teaches us that the love of money is the root of all evil. How can that be? How is racism, murder, fornication, child or spousal abuse, or any other evil things that we have seen caused by the love of money? In today's Daily Word, we are examining this question by showing that the love of money is a seed whose harvest is all kinds of evil. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Sunday Service Online — I have received strong feedback suggesting that a discussion of cryptocurrency and NFTs from a Biblical perspective would be beneficial because there is a lot of chatter and hype around it at the moment. Therefore, this message will cover the mechanics of Bitcoin (the first cryptocurrency), why cryptocurrencies were created, what makes them have value, what are NFTs and what insight we can gain from the Word on how to use or not use them. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — When we think about the sin of the love of money, we are quick to say that's not me. We say this because we associate the love of money with extreme greed. However, the love of money has a spectrum of greed and, if we aren't careful, we can find ourselves committing the love of money sin. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — The union of marriage allows a husband and wife to experience the fullest representation of God. A husband and wife are a mirror image of who God is. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — Your calling will succeed or fail based on your relationship with your spouse, and sex is a big part of that relationship. But unfortunately, many married couples are not experiencing the fullness of sex that God desires for them. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Open Forum — We discussed how without God in your life and following His purpose for you, everything else you do will feel hollow. This hollow feeling will lead some to depression, others to suicide, and some to question their sexual or gender identity, among other things. Therefore, it is critical to know what God has called us to do and follow the shifts He has in our calling. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — Married couples hate to admit this, but it happens often and to many marriages. There are times when they don't love each other. Why is this the case? In today's Daily Word, we explore this idea by first defining love from the Bible's perspective so that we can learn how to get back in love with our spouse. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Pastoral Chat — God has given us everything we need for life and godliness. Whatever you have need of today, has already been given. Did you wake up feeling defeated, confused, uncertain or beat down? It's time to draw from your spirit and change how you feel. Our souls take in a lot from the world, and when this happens, we have to retreat to the word of God building up our spirits. (Pastor Stephen Hudson) Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — When you receive an assignment from God, it is critical to know if the assignment is for provision or purpose. An assignment for provision is usually temporary and is designed to take care of an immediate financial need, whereas an assignment for purpose is long term and is the reason why you were born. Knowing the difference helps you have the appropriate mindset to implement the assignment and positions you for success in the assignment. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Open Forum — We discussed that God gave us a sound financial principle to staying out of debt, but it was not a commandment. Debt was broken down into two categories: (1) foolish debt and (2) less foolish debt. We also discussed how to know when it is time to quit your job, how your vision requires pressure to grow, and how marriage is a partnership. We wrapped up our discussion with how to handle close family members who do not support your vision. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — As believers, we downplay our feelings and treat them like a bad guide. We do this because many of us have been taught not to trust our feelings. However, God created our feelings, just like He created our body and spirit, so why would we throw away something He created? Instead of throwing our feelings away, let's learn to use them. A born again believer who studies and meditates the Word consistently can trust their feelings as a guide to discern their calling. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — Is it possible to speak our desires into existence? Do our spoken words move God to action? Is there a limit on what we can speak into existence? I address these questions and more in this message. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Sunday Service Online — Living in a society of instant gratification has created a strong desire to circumvent the process. This has robbed us of patience, causing us to despise necessary steps to achieve our callings. Avoiding these steps have caused many to be misled, and even wander, unable to reach the place of their callings. There is a process in working out the potential of your gifts that will ultimately lead you to your calling. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — Is tithing to a church a requirement for Christians today? I address this question in this message. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — Does God have a standard for marriage? Is it only between males and females? What about same-sex relationships? I address these questions and more in this message. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — Does God desire for you to have lots of money? Why are non-Christians rich? Is financial prosperity meant for every Christian or just some? How long does it take to become prosperous? I address these questions and more in this message. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Open Forum — We discussed that God wants us to stop trying to figure out our next move, but to just keep doing what we know to do. As we do what we know to do, He will show us the correct paths to take. We also discussed embracing your uniqueness because you are the missing pieces to someone else's puzzle, taking care of your family first, to not be ashamed of your current results, and a few other interesting topics. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — Does God desire to heal you? Is supernatural healing for Christians of today? Does God pick and choose who receives healing? I address these questions and more in this message. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — God chooses people to do things who seem like the wrong choice to normal eyes. For example, He calls high school dropouts to start colleges, medical doctors to open art galleries, and so on. God specializes in using people who are seemingly the wrong person to do amazing things. If God called you to do it, then you are the perfect person to do it.

Open Forum — Today, I shared my thoughts on the results of our second in-person service in Atlanta, Ga. At this service, we had 70% less attendance than our first service. Although I wanted to see more people at the second service, God has already shown me beforehand that the second service would start the building process of CFE Atlanta. Thus we would have lower numbers. We discussed the importance of placing our faith in what God shows us instead of our faith in our personal expectations. Pastor Stephen shared an apt analogy of seeing our vision as a seed growing and the Holy Spirit had me reinforce that concept by saying that in this year of "Growth", we should expect growth like how a farmer plants a seed in the ground. Take a listen. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — Many times in life, things just work out in our favor because God loves us. However, we have to be careful not to assume that the paths we took that led to good outcomes were approved by God. If we make that assumption, we run the risk of repeating unauthorized paths or setting goals based on un-anointed past experiences. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — We have all experienced this: You get an idea from God for the marketplace. Then, you implement that idea, but no one buys it, or you sell very little of it. What is the deal? In today's message (which is Part 2), I am examining why God ideas fail to be successful from an internal perspective. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Sunday Service Online — The application of our God-given gifts (aka talents) is our calling. What our gifts are is easy to determine because they have been there our whole life. However, discovering God's desired application of our gifts (in terms of whom to serve with our gifts and how to serve them through our gifts) is harder because worldly patterns can easily lead us to make incorrect assumptions about how we should use our gifts. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — A God idea is insight from God to your spirit to implement a particular idea in the marketplace. These ideas are designed to be profitable, but many believers struggle to find success with them. In today's message (which is Part 1), I am examining why this is the case. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — Have you ever experienced a major business or life failure? If so, you may have negative associations resulting from that experience, which are affecting your current decision-making. To move forward and succeed in your calling, we have to break those negative associations. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Pastoral Chat — Christians are messy, and will misrepresent God. God knew this from the beginning. Therefore, God doesn't need us to be his PR person by us pretending to be perfect. If we try to be God's PR person, we won't implement our calling because we will be afraid of making a mistake on the chance that we will misrepresent God. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — I am continuing the idea that our faith can be seen. With this in mind, I am examining the idea that if we have faith in the calling God placed in our hearts, then Jesus (through our actions) will see our faith in that calling. If our actions are not showing our faith, then there is a strong possibility that we won't be successful. When we truly believe in our calling, our actions will align with faith, and we will achieve all God has called us to do. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Our next Sunday Service is this Sunday at 10 am EST at the Roam Buckhead co-working space in Atlanta, GA. Come learn the word, have fun, and experience church unscripted. Our Sunday services are designed to help you grow your faith and develop the mind of Christ, so you can know and implement the will of God for your life and calling.

Daily Word — If you have faith in any promise of God or a specific request you made of God, then your faith will be visible. If your faith cannot be physically seen, then there is a very huge possibility that you don't have faith. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — God has given us two powerful tools to succeed in life and heed our calling. However, for these two tools to be effective, we have to use them actively together. It like having a sword and a shield. They are helpful on their own, but without using both together, you'll lose the battle. The two tools I am referring to are the Bible and Holy Spirit. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Open Forum — We discussed using the guiding principles of your calling to lead you in the decisions you need to make. We also discussed staying the course in the face of doubt from others, how your way is not everyone else's way, whether ministers should work a secular job, and a few other interesting topics. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — You have heard that Jesus's death on the cross brought us salvation. However, have you ever wondered why or how did His death save us? If so, listen up. Let's search the scriptures together and discover why the death of Jesus saved us. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — None of us were born at the time of Jesus, which means everything we know about Jesus comes from a book called the Bible. That places our entire belief system on a single book. Therefore arises a legitimate question that we should ask: "Is the Bible real?" Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Sunday Service Online — For many believers, it is hard to embrace the concept that the gift (the thing you are talented at) God has given them is important. They may look at their gift and say, "How does drawing advance the Kingdom of God?" or "How is my gift of teaching third grade math important to God?" Well, here is the thing: if God gave you the gift, then it is important to Him and has a purpose within the Body of Christ, even if you don't understand why. We have to accept by faith that our gift is important, and then honor God by using the gift He gave us. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — Most believers already have a good basic knowledge of what God has called them to do because God has not been hiding it from them. He has revealed it to them throughout their lives. The real issue is that many of us have not accepted our calling. We are full of self doubt and excuses. However, until we willingly accept our calling, we can't even begin to be successful.

Announcement — Due to wintry weather in Atlanta, we will not have our in-person service tomorrow (January 16). However, please join us online at 6 pm EST for our Sunday online service. Services are held using the zoom platform, so you can join us from anywhere in the world. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word — Since your calling is embedded in your spiritual DNA, you have instinctively manifested aspects of your calling throughout your life. Maybe you've gravitated toward particular work assignments or majored in certain things in college. Perhaps in your spare time you did certain things and learned certain things for free, just because you enjoyed them. Your calling has not hidden itself, but has revealed itself over time. Listen to today's message to learn more about this idea. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership
