If Satan can’t convince you to put your faith in him or in yourself, he will convince you to put your faith in others. When we decide to trust people over God, it can lead us down a path of destruction. Anytime our faith is divided between God and man, we enter troubled waters.

As believers, we are called to be shining examples in our communities. But what does faith look like when it comes to taxes, traffic lights, and workplace rules?

Discover how honoring earthly authority—while keeping God first—transforms your everyday routine into a powerful testimony. This 3-day plan explores how living responsibly honors God, silences critics, and positively impacts the world around you.

The key to greatness in Christ is to have total reliance on Him. As you surrender fully to His perfect will to serve His purpose and His people, God will bestow favor upon your life. As Christians, our highest aspiration should be to follow Jesus’ example of being a servant to all, carrying the attitude of humility. At the same time, the Bible is clear that our calling is to "obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29). So when it comes to man, have an attitude of humility; but when it comes to God, let your attitude be one of total obedience!

The search for significance is the underlying motivation for virtually all human activity.

Everyone loves a good transformation - be it a home renovation, makeover, or a comeback story. As followers of Jesus, our goal should be lasting transformation through which we look more like Jesus and less like the world.

The single command Jesus gave his followers before igniting his movement was “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised...” (Acts 1:4). He was telling them to wait and then move with the Spirit. For a movement to accomplish God's mission, it must be guided by the Spirit of God. We want to challenge every leader at Exponential with the big idea of Spirit-filled: Moving With The Spirit.

In this seven-day plan, we walk through Acts 3–8 and explore what it looks like to participate in the Jesus movement.

We are not called to mediocracy. We are called to boldness. To fearlessness. To purpose. To lasting impact. We are to share God's legacy, to really know Him, and make Him known.

In this study, we will look at what is "Appointed by God," how it transcribes into our lives, and how to walk in this divine marking of God for kingdom expansion!

We would love a stress-free life, but that’s not what happens in this sin-sick world. We all experience trouble and trials, and if we serve Jesus with our whole hearts, we will suffer persecution. So, what about all these troubles that plague us? Jesus told us we would face trouble, so is joy possible in the middle of trouble, and could these troubles be something for which we thank God?

It’s easy to go with the flow, but it takes a great deal of boldness and conviction to swim upstream and be defiant. The defiant life is driven by conviction and refuses to conform to the standards of this world. This plan explores seven key areas that you will need to defy at some point in your life as you walk in your God-given purpose.
