What if God wants to use you to be the very encouragement, strength, or answer to prayer that someone else needs? The Holy Spirit doesn't just want to work in us—He wants to work through us! In this message, Pastor David shares how God has given spiritual gifts to His people, not just for extraordinary moments, but to reveal His love and build up His church. From prophecy and words of knowledg...

What is speaking in tongues, and why is it such an important part of our personal prayer life? In this message, Pastor David opens God's Word to explore the beauty and purpose of our spiritual prayer language. Through 1 Corinthians 14, we discover how praying in the Spirit allows us to communicate directly with God, strengthens us spiritually, and helps us grow in our relationship with the Hol...

Jesus promised that we would not have to live the Christian life in our own strength. He sent the Holy Spirit to dwell within us, empower us, and help us in ways we could never accomplish on our own. In Romans 8:26, we are reminded that even when we don't know how to pray, the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness and intercedes according to the will of God. In this message, Dr. Jerry Stott tea...

Jesus called us to more than simply follow Him. He called us to become disciples who make disciples. In Mark 1:17, Jesus says, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” Discipleship is not just about our own spiritual growth, but helping others come to know and follow Jesus. In Part 5 of This Is Church, we look at what it means to become a disciple-making church. Discipleship happens...

The mission of the Church is not complete until disciples make disciples. Jesus came to seek and save the lost, and He invites each of us to carry that same mission. In Matthew 9, Jesus reminds us that the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Every disciple has an assignment to go, tell, and help people follow Jesus. In Part 4 of This Is Church, we look at how to preach the gospel with...

The Church was never meant to simply gather together—it was sent out to reach the lost. In Luke 15, Jesus shows us the heart of God for the one who is lost, the one who is missing, and the one who needs to come home. From the lost sheep to the lost coin to the lost son, we see that lost people coming home causes heaven to celebrate. In Part 3 of This Is Church, we look at what it means to carry th...

Church was never meant to be a place where a few people do the ministry while everyone else watches. In Ephesians 4, we discover that pastors and leaders are called to equip the saints—and the saints are the ministers. Every believer has been uniquely gifted by God, every person has something to contribute, and every part of the Body has a part to play. In Part 2 of This Is Church, we look at what...

What is the Church really supposed to be about? In Part 1 of This Is Church, we look at the first and most important priority of the Church: ministering to the Lord. Before the Church exists to build programs, meet needs, or reach the world, we exist first for God Himself. Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and mind. In Acts 13, we see the early churc...

The Father is seeking true worshipers who will worship in spirit and in truth. But what does true worship look like? In His Word, we see expressions of worship like singing, dancing, lifting our hands, kneeling, bowing, clapping and shouting. Join us as we discover what it means to worship God in spirit and in truth and express our love to Him. At Memphis Tabernacle, we are passionate about seeing...

What is God asking you to do that you’ve been resisting? Jonah knew exactly what God said, but instead of surrendering, he went the opposite direction—and discovered that running from God’s will is actually running from His presence. Following Jesus means walking out what He has told us to do, even when we don’t understand, agree, or want to. So what is your Nineveh? What step of obedience have yo...

Prayer is more than a response in crisis—it is surrender to God, agreement with His heart, and participation in what He is doing in the earth. Jesus not only taught on prayer; He lived a life shaped by it, and we are called to follow Him. God is calling His Church to be a house of prayer: a people who intercede for the lost, carry nations in their hearts, seek His Kingdom, and yield to His will. W...

What does true sacrifice look like, and what does our sacrifice reveal about the condition of our hearts? In this message from Genesis 4, Pastor Nate explores the story of Cain and Abel and reveals that true sacrifice is measured on Heaven’s scale, produces security, exposes selfishness, and carries the potential to shape our legacy. Through the examples of Abel, Mary, David, and the early church,...

What if the place of your greatest surrender became the place of God’s greatest work? As we begin 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, Pastor David explores David’s altar on the threshing floor in 2 Samuel 24 and reveals the biblical connection between surrender, sacrifice, prayer, and restoration. Discover why David refused to offer God something that cost him nothing, how the threshing floor became a...

God is faithful, even when the journey feels longer than expected. In this message, we're reminded that God is more interested in forming our hearts than simply fulfilling His promises. As we learn to trust His character, remain faithful in every season, and walk in wonder instead of wandering, we'll discover that breakthrough begins with deeper fellowship with Him. Whether you're in a...

God’s favor is more than a feeling. It’s His grace at work in your life, opening doors, bringing freedom, providing what you need, and empowering you to fulfill His purpose. Whether you’re believing for breakthrough, direction, provision, or simply wanting to understand God’s heart more deeply, this message will encourage you to walk in the favor of God. At Memphis Tabernacle, we are passionate ab...

The love of money isn’t about what’s in your wallet. It’s about what’s in your heart. If left unchecked, it can become a root that causes people to stray from the faith and pierce themselves with many sorrows. Money isn’t evil, but the love of it can lead you into a dangerous place. In this message from 1 Timothy 6, we’ll look at how to uproot the love of money, trust the Lord with our whole heart...

Why does money have such a strong hold on our hearts? Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to succeed? What are we really trusting in? Money isn’t the problem. It’s where our trust is placed. In this message from 1 Timothy 6, we continue our God Is My Source series by looking at the relationship between love, trust, and money. Scripture reminds us that the love of money—not money itself—is...

What if one of the greatest truths Jesus ever revealed is that God is your Father? In Matthew 6, Jesus shifts our focus from worry, striving, and performance to a relationship with our Heavenly Father—a Father who sees, knows, provides, and cares. Discover how knowing God as your Father changes your identity, gives you confidence for today, and frees you to seek His Kingdom instead of being consum...

Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Every day, with every conversation, we are choosing a direction—not only with our actions, but with our words. In this message, we learn how choosing to agree with God’s promises rather than our circumstances brings life, faith, hope, and strength into every situation. When fear speaks, choose life. When sickness speaks, choose life. When lack speaks,...

In a world filled with fear, bad reports, and uncertainty, God calls us to hold fast to the confession of our hope. His Word belongs not only in our hearts but also in our mouths. In this message, discover how faith speaks, why our words matter, and how agreeing with God’s promises can bring life, hope, and strength in every season. Hold fast to your confession, because He who promised is faithful...

Have you ever felt like you weren’t doing enough for God? Like you were trying to earn His approval, earn righteousness, or somehow work your way into a better position with Him? The Gospel reveals something completely different. You are not righteous because of what you do or don’t do — you are righteous because of what Jesus did on the cross. Jesus became sin so that we could become the righteou...

What if the thing you’ve been chasing was never meant to carry the weight of your identity? Success. Comfort. Relationships. Achievement. Purpose. None of those things were designed to be your source of life. Real life is only found by abiding in Jesus. This message will encourage anyone who feels tired from trying to “find themselves” in what they do instead of who they belong to.👋 Welcome to Me...

You are not distant from God—you have been brought back. In Week 4 of The Power of the Gospel, we look at what it truly means to be reconciled with God. The Gospel is the power of God to salvation, restoring your relationship with Him, giving you a new nature, and bringing you into union with Him. Through Jesus, you are a new creation, no longer defined by sin, but fully restored and made right wi...

You are not the old person improved—you are completely made new. In Week 3 of The Power of the Gospel, we look at what the Gospel actually produces in your life. Salvation is not just forgiveness or a future in heaven—it is the power of God at work in you right now.2 Corinthians 5:17 declares that if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation. That means you are not repaired, repurposed, or clea...
