Beginnings

Covenant Relationships
This series teaches a biblical perspective on covenant relationships in the local body, friendships and in marriage. These teachings give guidelines and principles to Godly covenant relationships. God & man and man & God are explored throughout this series.

Individual Messages
The majority of messages delivered at Lionheart will be part of a series or a conference, but there are a few that will stand alone, either because of a one day event or simply the nature of the message. Often these are messages that have a specific meaning for the Lionheart body, but are still edifying to the larger Body of Christ.

Kingdom Advancement with Randy DeMain
The Lord has never intended His people to merely survive the trials and tribulations that characterize the season preceding His return. In the midst of the Lord shaking everything that can be shaken, those who know their God will be strong and do mighty exploits. By the empowering of the Holy Spirit, the Church has a mandate to strategically advance the Kingdom of God in the earth with such ferocity that the strongholds of darkness are constantly under siege (Matt. 16:18-19).

Knowing Jesus, The Bridegroom Judge
The same loving, Bridegroom-savior, who cleansed us of sin through His sacrifice, will return as Judge, cleansing the earth of wickedness and establishing His everlasting kingdom. Awaiting His return will be His pure and spotless Bride, who worships Him even as wrath falls on Babylon. In order for us to become that Bride, we must learn how to relate to Christ as the righteous Judge of all the earth.

Lionheart/ Prayer Furnace Articles
Mike McClung periodically releases articles designed to bring insight into what the Lord is doing currently so the Body of Christ can stay in step with the heart of God. Occasionally other leaders from Lionheart/ The Prayer Furnace release articles as well.

Our Central Purpose
When we get to the roots of our service to God, are we serving for His satisfaction or for a reward? In this heart-piercing series, Mike McClung pulls back the layers of unscriptual motives in obligatory serving by revealing what the Bible says about Abba's purposes in creating sons and daughters. You will also learn in this series that by embracing the cross of self-denial, we can begin to satisfy the desires Father God held in His heart before He created the world.

Preparing for Battle: Covenant, The Next Step
For many in the Western Church, the concept of "keeping covenant" is as foreign as another language. Many times, we make promises to the Lord and to others, then rationalize our constant breaking of them; or we believe that completing a 'check-list' (with no heart commitment) is the path to salvation and right-standing with God. We must repent, and change the way we think about -- and walk out -- our covenant with God and His people. This is the only way forward.

Restoring the Ruins: Generations
In this series, Mike outlines God's plan of fulfilling His mission to fill the earth with the presence of Christ through His connected body, through the transgenerational expansion of His presence, purposes and kingdom. God is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He has declared Himself as the God of generations, and it's through the successive passing of His presence and purposes to each new generation, that His kingdom is established and expanded. This means that each present generation must fulfill its calling while also preparing a new generation to enter into the present purposes, and then taking it to new dimensions in succeeding years.

Restoring the Ruins: Overcoming Life
In this second set of the series Restoring the Ruins, Mike McClung outlines God's plan for successfully training the body of Christ, through embracing the truth and disciplines of the word of God, to overcome the attacks of the enemy and learn to stand and overcome "in the day of battle" (Ezekiel 13:5). Understanding our purpose on this earth, stripping away all excuses for not fully giving ourselves to the Lord and His purposes, and then outlining a spiritual training regimen for God's army is at the essence of this teaching.

Restoring the Ruins: The Restoration of Biblical Manhood
In this latest nine-part series, Mike gives the biblical basis for men to become the warriors, husbands and disciples that God intended them to be from creation. This is a hard-hitting series of messages confronting the mindsets, cultural mores and practices that have weakened God's design and intention for men, and their God-ordained role of protector, provider and warrior on behalf of their families and the culture.

Restoring Men, Fathers and Male Headship
Jesus Christ, the Original Pattern
Restoring the Warrior Spirit, Parts 1, 2 & 3

Right Thinking
Within every believer and every community of believers, a war rages between carnal and Holy Spirit-led thinking. For every veil of ungodly thinking we wear--especially toward the Lord and His word--we have created an idol, since we have formed an image of something that is not God. However, the degree to which we perceive the Lord, sin, ourselves and the world around us correctly (i.e. according to scripture) determines how much Christ seen in us and how much His authority operates in our lives.

Strategic Level Spiritual Warfare

The Abba Series Part 1: Foundations
In this first set of The Abba Series teachings, Mike McClung shows that one of the greatest needs in the body of Christ is a correct perception of Abba God. Our churches, our families and even our individual souls feel the weight of the Malachi 4:6 curse resulting from a broken connection with the Ultimate Father. This teaching outlines concepts such as seeing Abba scripturally, understanding Him as our source of life, and letting Him discipline us into His mature sons and daughters by learning His ways.

Part 1 - Theological Moorings of God's Fatherhood
Part 2 - Our Standing Before Abba
Part 3 - Our Source of Life
Part 4 - Returning To Abba's House
Part 5 - Abba's Ways

The Abba Series Part 2: Abba's Ways
In this, the second set of The Abba Series teachings, Mike McClung breaks down the multi-layered and multi-faceted process our loving Father leads us through to restore us to wholeness in spirit, soul and body. These are His ways: that for the purpose of His glory and because Abba is more loving than any earthly father we could know, He is ruthless in His efforts to destroy the lies that keep His children immature, in bondage and broken. In His seasons of training, Abba patiently develops us from children who know we are forgiven; to young men who know how to overcome; to fathers, who know Him who is from the beginning. The result of the Father’s work? His children walk in wholeness and maturity—knowing His ways and reflecting the Father’s heart.

The Battle for the Kingdom, Part 1
In these days of rising Glory and deepening darkness being an excellent soldier of the "good fight of faith" has never been more important. We must learn to endure anything and remain faithful to the Lord, so that the weapons of our praise can be wielded regardless of our circumstances. In this way, the Lord can begin to exercise authority in the earth through His church.

The Battle for the Kingdom, Part 2
To wage an effectual war, there must be personal and corporate preparation. This means understanding the God we serve, our place in His plan and the strongholds of darkness we face. This series follows up on Battle for the Kingdom, Part 1 and takes a deeper and more specific look at what it means to push back the darkness and establish the Kingdom of God.

The Battle for the Kingdom, Part 3
In the battle for the kingdom of God, there is only one refuge, one “Goshen”, while the nations are raging and the wrath of God is poured out in judgment. It is Zion, the stronghold of the Lord. The Church must prepare for the coming battle by establishing these places of His manifest presence because Zion will be the only place of protection.

The Feasts of the Lord
In the New Covenant, we are no longer required to observe the various feasts of the Old Covenant according to date and animal sacrifice. However, examining them through the hermeneutic of the Cross, we gain a better understanding of Jesus Christ.

The Incarnation
