Multiplication of Grace There are things that can hold and restrict the grace of God upon our lives. And there are attitudes that can increase God's favor. Notice that I used the words “grace" and “favor" interchangeably.  What is Favor The word favor is the unmeritorious blessings of God coming to your life. I like to explain favor by comparing it with mercy. While mercy is the complete forg...

The Full Picture of the Gospel The Two-Sided Coin of the Gospel: The Gospel is the ultimate power of God to save, but to experience its full impact, we must grasp it in its totality. Much like a coin with two distinct sides, the complete picture of the gospel involves both the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Gospel of Grace. While Jesus' earthly ministry heavily emphasized the Kingdom and the Apostl...

The Spirit of Adoption This past week, I’ve had several deeply moving, providential, divine-appointed conversations with brothers and sisters in our congregation. And a beautiful, recurring theme kept surfacing in those talks: the adopting heart of God. As a church, we believe deeply in fostering and adopting. We believe it is how we become an answer for our broken community, stepping in to love a...

Be Fervent in the Spirit Romans 12:9-13 9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. 11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality...

My cup overflows At least once a year, a pastor should pass by Psalm 23 with the church. Why? Because that is the Psalm that reminds us to whom we belong. People today live with anxiety, insecurity, and fear of lack or danger. Because God is our good, faithful, steadfast shepherd, we can live without fear or lack, even in life’s darkest moments. Know that we are not part of a movement or an organi...

Joy in times of unpredictable days - by Pastor Raph Habakkuk 3:17-19 (17) Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail, and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, (18) yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. (19) GOD, the Lord, is my strength; he makes m...

The Shunammite Woman – Activating the Anointing Juliana (Pastora) Date:  May 10, 2026 Occasion: Mother's Day  Happy Mother's Day! Today I want to share about a woman who perceived and activated the anointing of God. I will be brief and cover this in four points. For the men and the youth in the house: you can apply this to all areas of your life — your workplace, your calling, your...

Voice-Activated Victory By Trenton Tombs Sunday is easy. The worship is flowing, the message hits deep, and faith feels unshakeable. But Monday’s coming — and Monday is where faith gets tested. The real question isn’t how we feel in the pew, but how we stand when life hits back. This message is a practical and biblical call to carry the Word beyond the church walls and into the battles of everyday...

Abiding and Multiplying This week, I was reading the story of Samson. It is such a tragic story because you learn about this young man who had everything to be mighty and used by God in his generation, but instead, the plot follows Samson as he continually rejects the anointing on his life. He was an anointed man from birth, but he allowed the immediate cravings of his flesh, such as hunger, sexua...

A debt-free life. We all know the crushing, suffocating weight of debt. When you owe someone something you cannot pay, it dictates how you live, how you sleep, and how you see your future. If you owe money to someone, their presence is uncomfortable. If you come across an opportunity to travel or enjoy a restaurant meal and, by chance, you meet that person, shame will control you. Debt is directly...

The wisdom of grace: From Crisis to the Next Level  A new light to see the crises.  We often find ourselves in situations where the answers of this world fall short. I mean, what is the use of a PhD if you have terminal cancer? What do to when you can’t pay the bills? Or when you actually have the means to pay all the bills, you can’t bring your children back home? When a truly impossibl...

One reason to trust Imagine you are a high-stakes investor, and you decide to put every single penny of your life savings, your children’s inheritance, and your very home into one single stock. If that company succeeds, you are a billionaire. If it fails, you lose everything. You are homeless. The Bible doesn't say Christianity is "mostly true" or "good for your morals." The Bible says it all hang...

Real Value - Reclaiming Your Time and Identity How often do we introduce ourselves by what we do? "I am a manager," "I am a teacher," or "I am a business owner.” We wrap our sense of security in the "walled cities" of our lives—our bank accounts, our professional titles, our social media profiles, and our abilities. If your identity is tied to the temporary, you will live in constant fear of losin...

Out of the Precarious Zone A researcher led a session with about 50 people in the room. They "circled up" to go around and have each person say something about their relationship with money. Every single person was in a state of fear regarding money. An 80-year-old person had millions of dollars but was still terrified in the same way a 20-year-old would be. A young person who was already $20,000...

The Implications of the New Covenant Most pastors think that the book of Hebrews is not in touch with people’s reality in their practical lives. This could not be further from the truth. Hebrews 8: 10-12 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their...

In the New Covenant Hebrews 8: 10-12 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 11 And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, fro...

Beyond the shadow, into real Light.   Only when you fully embrace the new covenant and put God’s salvation back over your performance and merit will you have complete peace to live a godly life with joy. In the everlasting covenant, your security does not rest on how perfectly you behave, but on how long Jesus lives and reigns – which means your salvation is held steady by an unchanging High...

Active Faith: He is able to save Today, we're gonna cover Hebrews chapter 7. You need to understand that Hebrews Chapter 7 is the continuation of the opening statement made in Hebrews 5:9-10 Hebrews 5:8-10 8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. 9 And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, 10 being designated by God a high...

Active Faith: From Tasting to Trusting The book of Hebrews calls us to a new level of faith. Mature faith that introduces us into God’s promises and leads us to a godly life. Today, we will start a series we are calling Active Faith.  This series reaches its high point in Hebrews 11, but we will start in chapter 6 today. We will try to address the controversies related to this chapter, which...

God is the Lord of time and seasons. He appoints rhythms that shape our lives—Sabbath, sabbatical years, and Jubilee—and He blesses those who read, hear, and keep His word (Revelation 1:3). Like Joseph, Daniel, and the sons of Issachar, the wise learn to discern God’s timings for preservation, provision, and purpose (Ecclesiastes 3:1; Daniel 2:20–21). When we number our days, we receive a wise hea...

— Newsletter of the Week: January 18–2 God is the Covenant-Maker and Promise-Keeper. He binds Himself by oath in Christ, writes His law on our hearts, and declares, “I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” He does not answer lack with mere survival—He answers lack with overflow. Like the Shunammite woman, we honor God’s presence, make room for His word, and discover that grace initiates...

God’s answer to our crises Video Intro: Multiplication is God’s answer to all of our crises. When Jesus faced a hungry multitude, the disciples focused on the small supply, but Jesus lifted His eyes to heaven and multiplied what was in His hands. He did not reduce the crowd, send people away, or minimize the need—He multiplied the provision. God does not remove the battle; He releases provision th...

Faith for Multiplication Video Intro: Faith for multiplication begins with recognizing that God Himself is a God of increase, and that everything He creates carries this imprint. Multiplication is not merely a concept to understand but a reality to enter by faith. Just as a single seed becomes a forest and a couple becomes generations, God takes what is given to Him and causes it to overflow. This...

Video Intro: Hebrews confronts us with an honest question: are we growing up, or are we still living on spiritual milk? Maturity doesn’t happen accidentally—it’s trained through consistent engagement with the Word and practiced faith. God’s goal isn’t just personal improvement, but a mature, equipped people who build up the body of Christ. A mature church multiplies disciples, walks in unity, and...

Rest and Access Video Intro: There is a rest in God that goes beyond the relief of a quiet moment or the pause after hard work. It is a rest born from divine completion—a posture of faith that lives from the reality of what Jesus has already finished. This kind of rest doesn’t ignore struggle; it sees beyond it. It speaks from victory rather than toward it. It is rooted in trust, anchored in revel...
