Dream In Soul – Creativity for the Kingdom:

One Church International is a powerful ministry in North Hollywood, California, the heart of the entertainment industry. While One Church is open to a wide audience it especially provides guidance and resources to young adults who are called to impact the arts and entertainment. Rising performers, musicians, industry executives, filmmakers and others in related fields are mentored through weekly gatherings, and have the chance to grow within The Artist Resource Center (ARC), a not-for-profit facility that provides artists with the tools and knowledge to grow in their craft.

In the first video above Pastor Touré Roberts brings a convicting message about getting rid of excuses and pride that prevent us from living in the full purpose that God has for us.

In the second message below he motivates us to breakaway from distractions and the ordinary way of the world to intentionally pursue our purpose:

Purpose & Healing Message Notes:

– The number one distraction in someone’s life is the distraction from one’s purpose.

– “Purpose makes life relevant. The absence of purpose makes life random…”

– Purpose is the divine plan of God concerning you – it is His best for you.

– …When you are committed to walk in purpose you come into alignment with God’s anointing for your life; He cannot anoint what He has not chosen for you…He can only anoint what you are supposed to be doing.

Music and spoken word are merged in this moving video from LifeChurch.tv’s Church Online Easter Experience. Matt Maher’s song “Christ is Risen” and David Bowden’s poem “Death: His Sting and Defeat” remind us of Christ’s power over darkness and the grave.

Katy Coffman also known as Oraia presents a powerful spoken word piece “Death Could Not Exist In The Same Skin As HIM” recorded as part of the Easter Production recorded at Christ Tabernacle in New York City. Her passionate delivery paints the story of a Savior who could not be held down by death – and it’s because of His resurrection that we also can come alive.

Isaiah 53

1 Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
