The
Gift of Music (56 KB)
Aaron reminds us of our proper response to people God has gifted

a light for Him. |

God Calls You (81 KB)
Can you tell if you have been called to be a minister or even missionary?
How does one know what God's call sounds like? Aaron reminds us from
the prophet Isaiah's calling that the important question is this:

God calling you to your purpose? |

Value of the Insignificant (58 KB)

When
A Dream Dies (68 KB)
Aaron challenges us to be willing to give our dreams and goals back
to God: "I am convinced that God is calling us to nail our dreams
to the cross, because God calls us to love Him more than the dream...
God wants the things we hold on to so adamantly to crumble so that
He can take the broken pieces and make an even greater masterpiece
out of it." |

Message to Singles (81 KB)

Time
to Rest (56 KB)
Aaron shares the need for Sabbath rest in God: "At the beginning
of creation, God established six days of work and one day of rest.
Jesus said, 'Come to me who labor and are heavy laden and I will
give you rest' (Matthew 11:28). If we worked and put ourselves through
seven days of continuous stress, where would our lives physically
end up...not to mention spiritually?" |
