Christian Life Assembly UPC - Syracuse

Rev. Mugisho ministers from  Hebrews 12:1–3 , reminding us to lay aside every weight and run with endurance. He points to  Matthew 14:29 , calling the church to keep its eyes on Jesus even when the storms rise, and affirms through  Romans 6:14  that sin does not have to rule our lives. This message encourages believers to stay focused, trust God’s strength, and continue forward in faith.

Bishop Robert Vona preaches from  1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 ,  Romans 4:17–21 , and  Exodus 3:7–14 , reminding the church to give thanks in every season. From Abraham’s faith to Moses’ calling, we see that God is faithful through every circumstance. He is the I Am—the same yesterday, today, and forever. Even when we do not see the full picture, He is making everything beautiful in His time. The batt...

Pastor Gean Galloway preaches from Genesis 15, Jeremiah 31, and Hebrews 11, revealing the seriousness of covenant relationship with God. Abraham’s story shows that God keeps His promises, but He also requires commitment from His people. Every believer must decide what covenants they are keeping, whether with fear, sin, or the world, and be willing to break those that stand against God’s will. Thro...

Pastor Ryan Deas preaches from  John 1:1–14, 19–23 , showing that from the beginning, God’s Word has always carried creative power, and He now calls His people to give that Word a voice. Like John the Baptist, the church must be the voice crying in the wilderness, declaring Jesus as the Light in a dark world. The enemy fears the spoken Word because it carries the authority of the Creator. Believer...

Rev. Desi Lugo, UPCI missionary to  New Zealand , preaches from  Matthew 28:18–20 ,  Acts 1:8 , and  Isaiah 6:8 , challenging believers to answer the Great Commission with obedience. Drawing from his family’s journey from pastoral ministry in the U.S. to missions work in  Vanuatu  and now  Dunedin, New Zealand , Bro. Lugo emphasizes that the same Spirit that empowers us locally compels us globally...

Rev. Euclide Mugisho preaches from  Genesis 24:34–54 ,  Matthew 28:18 ,  John 16:13 , and  Ephesians 1:13–14 , showing that Abraham’s servant seeking a bride for Isaac foreshadows the Holy Spirit drawing the Church to Christ. Just as Rebekah heard the servant’s words and said, “I will go,” the believer must say yes to the call of the Master. The Spirit seals us, marks us as belonging to God, and p...

Pastor Ryan Deas calls the church to move from hearing to doing. Jesus commands us to “go” and promises that  signs follow believers : casting out devils, speaking with new tongues, and laying hands on the sick (Mark 16:14–20). James urges us to receive the  engrafted word  and be  doers , not hearers only (James 1:19–25). Discipleship means teaching people to  observe  all Jesus commanded (Matthe...

Rev. Daniel Davis preaches from 1 Kings 20:23–28, Psalm 23, and Romans 8:28, reminding believers that God’s power is not limited to the mountain tops. The same God who gives victory in seasons of blessing is faithful in the valleys of trial. When the enemy says, “the Lord is only the God of the hills,” God proves Himself mighty in the low places. Whether in triumph or testing, we can trust that al...

Pastor Ryan Deas preaches from 1 Timothy 6:6–12, Exodus 15:1–3, Ephesians 6:10–18, and Matthew 4:1–11, reminding the church that we are in a spiritual battle and cannot afford to be lulled to sleep. God is a man of war, fighting for His people, and He equips us with His Word and Spirit to stand against the enemy. To win, believers must stay sober, sharpen their sword through Scripture, and stir up...

Pastor Ryan Deas teaches on biblical fasting as a New-Covenant practice that grows faith and breaks unbelief. From Matthew 9:14–17, Jesus ties fasting to “new wine in new wineskins,” calling us to a renewed mindset, not legalism. In Matthew 17:14–21, Jesus rebukes unbelief and says, “this kind goes not out but by prayer and fasting.” With Isaiah 58:3–12, John 5:39, and Romans 8:1, the message sets...

Pastor Ryan Deas preaches from 1 Corinthians 6:9–11, Revelation 21:8, Acts 2:36–39, Acts 17:22–31, Hebrews 2:1, and Romans 12:1–2, calling the church to repentance and renewal. Sin is not our identity — in Christ we are washed, sanctified, and justified. The mercy of God gives us the chance to hit the reset button, to let go of compromise, and to walk in holiness. True salvation is not about coast...

Pastor Samuel Mayele (Congo) preaches from Exodus 33:14–15, Psalm 16:11, John 8:36, and Acts 3:19, declaring that the presence of God is where true peace, joy, and liberty are found. No program, ritual, or human effort can heal the broken heart or set the captive free — only Jesus can. When believers repent and turn to Him, the chains of sin, fear, and condemnation are broken, and the Spirit of Go...

Pastor Ryan Deas preaches from Revelation 20:12–15, Revelation 21:1–7, Genesis 1:1–3, Isaiah 9:6–7, and Matthew 24:12–13, calling the church to see current events through the framework of God as Creator and Judge. Every life has value, and the Gospel must remain the church’s central message: Jesus died for all. Where there is a void, if the people of God do not declare His Word in love, darkness w...

Pastor Ryan Deas preaches from Colossians 1:9–11, Ephesians 1:15–19, and Ephesians 3:8–10, teaching that true strength comes when believers align with the will of God. Paul’s prayer for the church was not that God would do more, but that we would know more—growing in wisdom, revelation, and understanding of His will. When our lives are surrendered, God empowers us with patience, joy, and the abili...

Bishop Robert Vona preaches from Ephesians 2:1–10, Ezekiel 37:1–14, and Romans 4:17, declaring that though we were dead in trespasses and sins, God has made us alive through Christ. Like Ezekiel’s vision of the dry bones, the Spirit of God speaks life into dead places. Our words carry power, and when we speak the Word of the Lord, hope is restored, faith is strengthened, and dead things are revive...

Rev. Euclide Mugisho preaches from Romans 14:17, Galatians 2:20, Colossians 1:11–13, Philippians 4:4–8, and John 15:5, declaring that the Kingdom of God is not about material things but about righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. The believer is called to live in the Kingdom of Light, leaving behind the ways of darkness. True life in Christ is marked by forgiveness, purity, and rejoicin...

Pastor Ryan Deas preaches from Romans 8:1–11, calling the church to reject carnal thinking and live by the Spirit. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus and walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. Freedom from sin and death comes only by the indwelling Holy Ghost, empowering believers to live in peace, obedience, and victory. The Spirit that raised Christ from the dead...

Bishop Robert Vona preaches from 2 Samuel 5:4–10, Romans 6–8, 2 Corinthians 10:4–5, and Ephesians 6:10–12, calling the church to confront and destroy spiritual strongholds that keep believers bound. Just as David took the stronghold of Zion, Christians must take authority in Jesus’ name over fear, sin, and doubt. Born again of water and Spirit, we are called to live in victory, not condemnation, c...

Rev. Denochy Cowan of New Life Pentecostal Church (Spring Valley, NY – UPCI) preaches from Jeremiah 29:1–11, Psalm 23:4, Romans 6:23, Jonah 1:1–4, Acts 1:7–8, and Acts 2:1–4. He reminds us that captivity, valleys, and trials are not always the work of the devil, but part of God’s plan to bring increase and peace. Through the “conjunctions” of Scripture— but God ,  and suddenly —the Lord interrupts...

Pastor Ryan Deas preaches from Titus 2:11–14, Ephesians 2:8–10, and Revelation 3:14–19, warning against becoming the lukewarm church of Laodicea. Grace is not a license to sin but God’s power to deliver us from sin and transform us into His workmanship. True Christianity is not measured by material blessings or outward works but by being made new, walking in holiness, and living as a peculiar peop...

Pastor Gean Galloway preaches from Psalm 23:2, John 14:15, Romans 2:4, Isaiah 6:1–7, and 2 Samuel 6:5–17, showing how the goodness of God is what leads us to repentance and transforms the human will. True worship is not manipulation or fear, but laying down our lives before Jesus in obedience and gladness. The Lord’s goodness compels us to repent, forgive, and worship Him with all our strength.

Rev. Nathan Hulsman delivers a message from Matthew 6:24 and Romans 6:4–6, urging believers to forsake every trace of their former identity and embrace the culture of the Kingdom. Drawing from Philippians 2:5 and Galatians 3:28, he confronts the idols of race, tradition, and self-preservation, declaring:  "You cannot serve two masters." This message challenges the church to walk in newne...

Pastor Ryan Deas encourages from Ezekiel 37, preaching that God can bring life to dead situations. He speaks about the valley of dry bones as a picture of restoration and hope. Through the Word and the Spirit, God revives what once seemed lost or scattered, and calls His people to prophesy life.

Rev. Euclide Mugisho preaches from John 4 on the Samaritan woman's encounter with Jesus. He explains how Jesus intentionally goes out of His way to meet us in broken places. The message reveals how God knows exactly where we are and is ready to transform our story, no matter how hidden or ashamed we feel.

Pastor Ryan Deas exhorts the church from Psalm 56:1-4 to place their trust in God during fearful and uncertain times. He speaks about the reality of being overwhelmed, but affirms that when we are afraid, we can still choose to trust in God's word, which brings peace and delivers from fear.
