Pre-Decide | Your Choices Shape Your Life | Passion Church Kernersville

Over the past several weeks, we’ve been walking through a powerful teaching series called Pre-Decide: Better Choices, Better Life. And if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s this:

This isn’t just self-help—it’s biblical truth. And at Passion Church Kernersville NC, we’re learning how to make better decisions not based on our emotions, pressure, or past failures—but on God’s purpose and truth.

We’ve all made decisions we regret. And most of the time, it’s not because we’re bad people—it’s because we weren’t ready when the moment came. We reacted instead of responding.

But what if you could pre-decide your values, your boundaries, and your direction before life put you on the spot?

That’s the heart of this series.

This simple declaration has helped so many people in our church build new rhythms of spiritual strength and personal integrity. It’s helped people overcome temptation, step into generosity, grow in consistency, and draw closer to Jesus.

Because life is too important to drift.

Because the world is full of distractions and options that look appealing in the moment but lead to regret in the end.

And because you don’t rise to the level of your intentions, you fall to the level of your decisions.

Here are just a few core truths we’ve explored together:

If you don’t define your direction, the world will define it for you. At Passion Church, we’re learning to live by God’s values, not culture’s suggestions.

Whether it’s temptation, conflict, or spiritual habits—deciding beforehand how you’ll respond makes all the difference. This is how Daniel in the Bible stayed faithful under pressure (Daniel 1:8, Daniel 6:10).

We live in a world that teaches us to follow our feelings. But Scripture teaches us to follow Jesus. Pre-deciding based on God’s identity and purpose for your life sets you free from emotional whiplash and spiritual stagnation.

Each week at Passion Church, we’ve made bold declarations that reframe how we live:

I am ready. (I will be prepared when temptation comes.)

I am consistent. (I will do what honors God again and again.)

I am devoted. (I will seek God first.)

I am generous. (I don’t wait to give—I plan to give.)

I am faithful. (I will multiply what God has entrusted to me.)

I am a finisher. (I don’t quit when it’s hard.)

And in our new Week 6 addition, we’re declaring:

I choose joy. (No matter what, I will rejoice in the Lord. – Philippians 4:4–9)

Pre-deciding isn't about willpower. It’s about identity.

You are who God says you are. You are loved. You are chosen. You are called.

And when you anchor your decisions to the truth of who He is and who He’s made you to be, your life changes from the inside out.

This series has been a game-changer for our church family—and we believe it could be a game-changer for you too.

We’re not interested in playing church—we’re here to be the Church: bold, joyful, real, and passionate.

“Been a part of this amazing journey from the beginning when we were at the picnic tables at Triad Park to current location. This is my church family, not all know me, but they treat you like family. The members say hello, smile at you, make you welcomed. I have been pulled closer to God, I personally have been dealing with a lot and these extraordinary people I call my family have helped me with their kind words, their hugs, just listening, and it makes a difference, it pulls you to the light when you feel your in the dark place. I hope you come and see why the Passion Church is a welcoming church that does not judge and makes you feel at home and brings you closer to God.” – Lindsay S.

“Passion Church - the name says it all. Starting with Pastor Josh, the authentic, passionate attitude can be seen and experienced through the entire worship team, the members, the partners, and the volunteers who make this church a great place to worship. God is at the center of our worship, and many dedicated and generous individuals put forth a great effort to help point others to a genuine relationship with Jesus. Believing, trusting, and obeying God, being generous, and helping others in need - that is what it's all about - and that is what you will find at Passion Church.” – Ed P.

“From the moment you get out of your car, someone is there to welcome you before you enter the building. I dare say that if you are not greeted by at least 10 people on the way to your seat, you had to try to avoid them. This is the most welcoming church that I have ever seen. Not only that, the people are authentic and not just putting on a show. The workship is raw and real. The messages are shared with love and a genuine heart full of compassion for Jesus and people. I am proud to call Passion Church my church home.” – Paul B.
