Church for Entrepreneurs

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

Daily Word — There is no need to look to outside sources to discover what God has called you to do. He placed your calling inside your spirit for you to draw it out. He has hidden it for you inside you. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Open Forum — Today we discussed that when you start a new business project, it is like giving birth to a new baby. And just like a new baby, new business projects need more attention and time than your older business projects. We also discussed how rest is needed for creativity, when to hire someone, how God is greater than the world, be bold in your business walk, you can be humble and think big, and a few other interesting topics. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word - Your calling from God can be articulated through the what, why and how framework: what is the big picture of your calling; why is the reason God wants to undertake your calling; and how is the implementation details of achieving your calling. Knowing the why, why, and how of your calling guides you in making decisions that lead to success in your calling. Links - Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word - Let's look at the idea that joy that comes from giving. There is joy in seeing your money or efforts help someone. In this way, we tap into the character of God because God is a giver. Links - Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Open Forum - Today I shared a few lessons I learned from launching CFE Atlanta. These lessons can help you as you grow your calling in 2022. Links - Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word - Unfortunately, in society the way you look (physical characteristics, weight, height, gender, race, etc.) can be an advantage if you have the look society deems attractive. If you don't have the look society desires, then that can be a disadvantage in climbing the ladder of success. However, none of that matters to God because God's blessing for your success is not based on societal biases. Links - Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word - Many times, when we need business advice, we seek out the latest guru. Yes, human input is important. However, your best source of advice will always be the Holy Ghost. Without His guidance, your likelihood of success is quite low. Links - Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word - It is critical for us to stay aware of God's current assignments in our life. This is important because when God ends one assignment and instructs us to undertake another, He removes His anointing from the old assignment and transfers it to the new one. If we miss the transition, He does not force us to stop the old assignment. He will allow us to keep going without His anointing. However, this is not a good situation for us because without the anointing, that same assignment that used to be fun and full of success will turn bitter, stress us out, and drive us to depression.

Daily Word - Entrepreneurs have a tendency to buy the latest business tools and seek out the newest marketing techniques. We do this in an attempt to create success in our business. However, we achieve success not because of the tools or techniques we acquire, but because of the anointing. Links - Atlanta, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word - The body of Christ is learning about Grace and how God accepts us just as we are. This means that "getting our lives right" is not a prerequisite for salvation or receiving God's love. However, if we desire to lead and succeed in our calling, then our lifestyle has to line up with how God designed us to live (aka living holy). In fact, living at a certain level of holiness is a prerequisite for leadership in the Kingdom of God. As leaders, we are held to a higher standard. Links - Atlanta, Online Community, Partnership

Open Forum - Happy New Year. This was our first Open Forum of the new year. Today, we discussed following God without looking at the circumstances, not assuming outcomes, equal value with unequal cost, recognizing peace is easy, following peace is hard, stress is not the price of success, and a few other interesting things. Links - Services, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word - As you become more successful, your time is going to be more in demand from clients, new opportunities, requests for partnerships, and people asking for advice. To stay centered with God and not become overwhelmed, we need to take intentional long-periods of time to be alone with God. Links - Atlanta, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word - For most of us, we are doing a lot of things, striving to succeed in our calling. Some things God called us to do and other things we decided to do. However, in either case, when God drops insight in your spirit for a new opportunity or direction, there is a strong possibility that He is also telling us we need to stop doing some things. He tells us to stop doing some things so that we can free up time and resources for the new thing He desires us to do. Links - Atlanta, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word - Let's look at having a heart to give to others without an expectation of receiving something back from them. Links - Atlanta, Online Community, Partnership

Daily Word - You may need to open up your heart to really hear today's message because Satan has done a great job of convincing believers that they are sinners. When you accepted Jesus as Lord of your life, you stopped being a sinner and became righteous. This means that all your past, present, and future sins are forgiven. You don't need to constantly ask for forgiveness, see yourself as unworthy, or wonder if you are going to heaven. Links - Atlanta, Online Community, Partner

Daily Word - Awhile back I had a dream. In the dream, on my clothes were written the words, "God made me rich." After waking up, the interpretation came to me. God wanted me to boldly declare (in a visible way) to everyone who was the source of my prosperity. However, this vision is not just for me — it is for you as well. Links - Atlanta, Join, Partner

Daily Word - Welcome to 2022. At our last service of last year, I shared that the word for 2022 is Grow. In this year of growth, there is a specific anointing from God to grow in our calling. This word means that for some of us, it's time to start something new within our calling. For others, it's time to re-start some old things that were put on the shelf, and for most of us, it's time to reach more people. Our motto, for us to say to ourselves to build our faith to grow, is: it's time. However, anointed growth is not based on hustle, but on grace. This means we can't forget about HER - Hearing God's instructions for growth, Executing what we hear, and Relaxing after we do what we heard. Links - Atlanta, Online Community, Partner

Pastoral Chat - Does life feel unfulfilling? Are you going from accomplishment to accomplishment, but life still feels hollow? Are you saved but still have a hole in your heart? Take a listen to today's pastoral chat to hear my thoughts on this situation, and learn how to fill that hole in your heart and be fulfilled with life. Links - Atlanta, Online Community, Partner

Daily Word - If you are dealing with sickness (small or great) in your body, then listen to today's message a few times. I am sharing several scriptures to encourage your faith for healing. You will discover that God sent Jesus to heal any sickness or disease you may have. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - In our entrepreneurial culture, when we want results, our go-to catchphrase is "take massive action." However, in many cases, the best course of action to experience results is to take no action and just immerse ourselves in the word of God. This is especially true when you find yourself frequently worried and frustrated. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Worry may seem innocent, but it is very destructive in the life of a believer. Worry blocks your faith and is a sign that you don't trust God. With blocked faith and a lack of trust, you will lack the power that can fix whatever situation you are worried about. In today's message, discover Jesus's perspective on worry and how He taught us to combat worrying. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Just because God called you to do it doesn't mean you won't take a few hits while following your calling. We have a real enemy who doesn't want you to succeed. So, when you experience dumps in the road of calling, don't give up. Allow Holy Spirit to guide you around or through the dumps in the road. Links - Join, Partner

Pastoral Chat - As we prepare to Grow in 2022 we can't forget about HER. It is through HER that we will find our anointed growth. #itstime Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - A commandment is defined as a rule to be observed strictly. The old covenant is full of commandments, whereas commandments are minimal in the new covenant. So when Jesus says He has a commandment for us, we need to pay attention. Therefore, in today's Daily Word, we are examining what Jesus calls the "new" commandment He has given us.

Daily Word - Many countries in our world have systematic inequalities where some people are held back and others are promoted based on race, gender, age, education, etc. This shouldn't be, but one day God dropped into my spirit that faith does not care about inequalities. The simple interpretation of this is that we succeed in life through our faith, regardless of any worldly inequalities. Links - Join, Partner

Merry Christmas everyone. Thanks for your prayers and encouraging words as my family and I overcome COVID. It's Christmas day, and I have a short message I want to deliver to you. The message is that it is because of Jesus, not your actions. Many Christians believe that their actions make them worthy or unworthy to receive things from Jesus. However, that is far from the truth. We receive the desires of our heart- healing, finances, relationships, etc. -because Jesus loves us. The receiving system is set up in our favor. We just need to bring Jesus faith or lean on His compassion to receive the things we desire.

Daily Word - I am tackling the question of manifestation. In particular, why hasn't the manifestation of a promise of God happen for you yet? To explore the answer, God gave me an analogy of a "door" and a "Key." Take a listen and discover the major reason behind the lack of manifestation. Links - Join, Partner

Pastoral Chat - Let go of woulda, shoulda, coulda, so you can grow in 2022. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - God uses natural laws to teach us spiritual laws. Take, for instance, the natural law of seedtime and harvest. You sow a seed in the ground, give it some time, and wait for the harvest. This mirrors the spiritual law of sowing a seed and producing a harvest. However, in the spiritual version, it is not time that produces the harvest; it is your faith. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Faith is the spiritual force God has given to us to receive the things we desire in this life. However, there is a false faith that tricks us into laziness, which hinders us from achieving our goals and receiving what we desire. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - God didn't design marriage to be depressing and unfulfilling. However, because marriage is between two imperfect people, marriage can easily become unfun and difficult. In today's message, I am presenting a six-month process to turn a marriage from drudgery to happiness and excitement. This is important because there is a connection between having a happy marriage and succeeding in a God-given calling. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - A religion is a belief system that explains life to its followers. Every human and every culture has a religion. For example, one belief system says that humans evolved from lower life forms. Another belief system says humans can have sex with whomever they desire without rules. As Christians we have a belief system that explains how God created us and how He expects us to live. Our biggest challenge is to not allow the culture we live in to convert us to their religion because following their religion removes the power God has given us through Jesus Christ.

Sunday Service - At the beginning of each year, God shares with me a word that He desires for those who are connected with Church for Entrepreneurs to focus on for that entire year. The word for 2022 is Grow. In 2022, there is a specific anointing from God to grow in your calling. This word means that in 2022, for some of us, it's time to start something new within our calling. For others, it's time to re-start some old things that were put on the shelf, and for most of us, it's time to reach more people. This coming year, the motto to say to yourself to build faith to grow is: it's time. Links - Join, Partner
