You Are Royalty! Part 2

On Father's Day Sunday we all attended the main sanctuary service to be with our families and to hear Pastor Scot's great message.

This week we talked more about how God has created us to be royalty. Again, His purpose in doing so is not for us to rule over others. Instead we are to rule over our own life and environment. We create our environment and our outcome in life based on our beliefs and attitudes about ourselves.

This week we really focused on the types of lies that the enemy tends to bring to us -- especially early in life -- that, left unchecked, become the truth of our existence. Perhaps it is someone telling you that you are ugly or fat or stupid. If we do not challenge those lies, they will become truth and thereby mold and shape our life.

Many of you made the commitment to combat particular lies that you have accepted at some point that you know are holding you back. I continue to pray for you as you make the effort to replace those thoughts, challenge them and reject them. Forget those things that are behind and press on toward the mark of His high calling!
