SAME PLACE, DIFFERENT SPOT

In this powerful and transparent conversation, Dr. Travis and Jackie Greene are joined by Laura and Carl Lentz to discuss their newly released book, Overcoming Infidelity, and the difficult journey of healing, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust.Together, they unpack the cost of compromise, the idols that can lead to destruction, the importance of accountability, and what it truly takes to move forward.Whether you're navigating betrayal, rebuilding a relationship, or learning what true surrender looks like, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.WATCH THIS DISCUSSION AND ASK YOURSELF:What am I allowing to take God's place in my life, and what could it cost me if I don't confront it?

Being empty doesn't mean you're powerless. Sometimes, it's the very place where God reveals His power.In "The Power of Empty," Ezekiel Azonwu takes us through Luke 4:1–12, where Jesus faces temptation in the wilderness after 40 days of fasting. Through this powerful message, Ezekiel challenges us to examine what we're feeding, what we're depending on, and what it truly means to live surrendered to God.Watch this message and ask yourself: What if the enemy isn't attacking your weakness, but trying to distract you from the strength of your surrender?

Rooted in 1 Kings 13:1 and the encounter that follows between the man of God and King Jeroboam, “Don’t Take the Bait” explores three baits offered by the king: intimidation, invitation, and incentive.We are challenged in this message to recognize the pressure to trade our convictions for comfort, acceptance, or personal gain.Exposure is uncomfortable, but recognizing the bait is the first step toward refusing it. When your faith is tested, will you stand firm or settle for what’s being offered?Watch, reflect, and share this message with someone who needs encouragement to stand firm.

The devil isn't after first place. He's after SHARED SPACE.In this powerful message, "There's More Behind the Door," we are reminded that the enemy doesn't have to take God's place in your life if he can convince you to make room for him alongside God. We are also challenged to examine the doors we've left open, the things we've allowed access to our lives, and the areas where we've compromised without even realizing it.Watch this message, share it with someone who needs it, and be reminded that THERE'S MORE BEHIND THE DOOR.Then Ask Yourself: WHO HAVE YOU GIVEN ACCESS TO?

What if the blessing you've been praying for isn't in a new place, but in a different position?In this powerful message rooted in John 21, Dr. Joel Tudman reminds us that God doesn't always have to change your environment to change your outcome. Sometimes, the breakthrough you've been waiting for requires you to trust His voice, shift your perspective, and obey His instructions, even when they don't make sense.Watch this message and ask yourself: are you willing to trust God enough to cast your net one more time?LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE for more powerful messages from Forward City Church!#ForwardCityChurch #AreYouReal #John21 #Faith #Sermon

In “The Danger in Drifting,” Pastor Jamal Hegwood challenges us to pay attention to the areas of our lives where we’ve become comfortable, distracted, or disconnected. What you tolerate today can determine where you end up tomorrow, and sometimes the greatest danger is that you never noticed you were drifting in the first place.This message is a call to wake up, check your position, and intentionally return to the presence, purpose, and direction of God.You may not have chosen to walk away, but have you noticed where you’ve drifted?

What are you seeing, and is your vision coming from God?Rooted in 1 Samuel 3:1, this message challenges us to examine what shapes our perspective, make room for God’s Word, and seek His vision for our lives.Watch "There's Something In My Eyes" and ask yourself: what might change if you began to see your life through the lens of what God has spoken?

In this message, we are reminded that it’s possible to hold the Bible in one hand while still holding habits in the other. We can know the Word, attend church, and speak the language of faith while still clinging to patterns, attachments, and behaviors that compete with who God has called us to become.This message challenges us to examine what we have normalized, release what no longer belongs in our lives, and surrender fully to the God who protects, sustains, and delivers us.Watch “Conflict of Interest” and ask yourself: What am I still holding on to that directly conflicts with the life God is calling me to live?

In “The Danger of a Down Shift,” we’re challenged to examine four areas that can quietly pull us away from total dependence on God:Source — What am I relying on?Sight — What am I looking at?Strategy — What is my plan?Strength — What actually has the capacity to hold me?In Isaiah 31:1–4, the people of God looked to Egypt for help, trusting in horses, chariots, human strength, and what they could see instead of relying on the Lord.Before you make your next move, check your source, your sight, your strategy, and your strength. Don’t downshift your faith by trusting something that was never built to carry you.Watch “The Danger of a Down Shift” and ask yourself: What am I trusting to hold me?

What do you do when you’re caught between the shift you’re believing for and the hard place you’re currently facing?Rooted in 2 Kings 20, Pastor Jamal Hegwood reminds us in this message that when Hezekiah received a difficult report, he turned his face to the wall and prayed. Sometimes you have to turn away from the noise, the opinions, and what your circumstances are saying so you can turn toward God. The hard place isn’t the end of your story, it may be the place where your prayer produces the shift.Watch the full message and ask yourself: What do I need to turn away from so I can turn toward God and pray?
