Our “Kingdom Living” series continues as we hit week three, where Pastor Mike shares an encouraging message on Living a Spirit-Filled Life. Living the Christian life is not about following a series of laborious religious rituals to make us a better person. Living the Christian life is about joyfully pursuing Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. A life that bears fruit and is an open vessel to re...

Our “Kingdom Living” series continues as we hit week two, where Pastor Tony shares an encouraging message on Joy. If you have ever felt like your happiness was momentary, it is. Happiness is external; joy is internal. Many times, our happiness is situational, but joy is spiritual. We can choose joy no matter the trials and circumstances we may face. Jesus empowers us to have an un-circumstantial j...

Pastor Jason shares a powerful message about how to prepare the altar of our hearts. Just like in the Old Testament, the Levitical priest had to set up the proper altar for the burnt offering. For the fire to burn, it needs the right wood (fuel) and must be cared for and cleaned out daily.

Pastor Tony shares a powerful message about the two seasons in life in which you are most vulnerable: the Willow season, when you have nothing, and the Palm season, when you have everything. Jesus loved the people and displayed the kingdom of God when they praised him and when they rejected him. His kingdom was not of this world but of the world to come. 

Bishop Mitchell Cordor shares a powerful message about prayer. As we continue in our Prepare The Way series, we discover in Luke 11:1-4 how to pray. Pray is a dialogue between God and his people. Through prayer, we find that we have access to the Father’s heart for us. As the way is being prepared for us, prayer is the vehicle that will take us into what God has for us. In this message, Bishop Mit...

Pastor Kaci shares an insightful word about worship. Worship is not a style of music, a song, a playlist, or just part of an order of service. The Bible says in John 4:23-24 “But a time is coming, and even now has arrived, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people, the Father seeks to be His worshipers. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship Him must wo...

Pastor Tony shares many accounts in the Bible of How Jesus and his disciples demonstrated living a spirit-empowered life on this earth. We can learn to be spiritually fed, led, and marked to accomplish the great commission. Acts 1:8 (NKJV) says, “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the e...

Lean in and listen to what the Lord is doing through the ministry of Far Flung Tin Can and its Director Kyle Philippi and Celia Mendes, Missionary to Mozambique, Africa. God is moving across the globe in ways we can’t imagine, revealing himself through open doors, signs, wonders, and miracles. We believe the mission of the church is to reach people across the street and around the world.

Pastor Tony shares that two people are better than one. When we come together, we can accomplish more for the kingdom of God than being a long ranger. Paul encourages us to run this race and win a prize that is eternal and not temporal, but it takes four key traits to live this out well: Desire, discipline, commitment, and sacrifice.

Have you ever become a victim of your past? In today’s message, Dr. Stafford Peterson delivers a message encouraging us to leave our past and STEP into all God has for us. We cannot stay stuck in our current circumstances but instead get up and move out of the brokenness and pain we may be experiencing. We pray that God speaks to you today as you hear the word of the lord.

Dr. Gary Lewis shares the miraculous story about the woman who lost her husband, and the creditor is coming to collect the debt owed. The prophet Elisha asked her what do you have to give. All she had was a small flask of oil. Her DESPERATION, DEPENDENCE ON GOD, and OBEDIENCE to borrow empty vessels determined her blessing.

Pastor Tony shares this week that when we seek God first, all things will be added next. It is so easy to ask for what we want rather than asking God what we need from Him. Jesus modeled humility to his disciples through foot washing and how we serve others.

Pastor Jason Bonilla shares that as we believe for more, we learn there is nothing that our God can’t do! It takes just one touch to heal us and just one word to bring resurrection life. All Jesus requires of us to do is to trust him and believe by faith.

Pastor Tony shares an insightful message about how the Holy Spirit produces this fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These fruits help us develop the character of Christ more and more in our lives.

As we begin the new year, Pastor Tony’s message entitled “Believe For More” is not only a sermon that will encourage, equip, and empower you. This message is also a declaration for you and your family. There’s no better way to start your year than intentionally developing a personal praise, a personal worship, a deeper prayer life, and walking in obedience to the voice of God. We pray this impactf...

Christmas is indeed a time of joy and celebration, but it can also be a challenging time for many people as the year comes to an end. It's easy to feel lost and hopeless approaching a new year. However, in today's message, Pastor Tony shares that the story of Jesus' birth brought hope not only to Mary and Joseph but also to wise kings searching for what God promised. But to the whol...

This Sunday, Pastor Tony spoke about the greatest story ever told— the birth of Jesus Christ and his life, being the embodiment of the word of God. It is that word made flesh which has become the living word inside of us. 

Today, discover how one obedient act can transform lives. Be inspired to trust God's plan, unlocking extraordinary possibilities when aligning your actions with His guidance.

Pastor Tony shares an insightful message about how thankfulness is essential in the life of a believer. We learned how the ten lepers were healed, but one only came back to Jesus and showed Gratitude, which made him completely whole.

Pastor Joe Dobbins shares a powerful message about how King Saul’s life spiraled because of digging up the past hurts that he never released to God. We can never find real healing until we enter God’s presence, Admit we are hurt, Release our pain, and receive God’s blessing. 

Do you compare yourself to people doing great things for God and think, “God could never use me like that. I’m not courageous or strong enough.” God usually chooses the most unlikely person when he looks for someone to use. Pastor Jason shares a Bible Story about a nobody named Gideon, whom God called out to do a Mighty Work to rescue His people from the enemy.

Sometimes in life, we encounter real burdens and brokenness that leave us seemingly no direction or map of how to fix them. In today's powerful message, we see the blueprint for rebuilding what has been torn down and the value of unity in the body of Christ through the prophet Nehemiah. With God, it is possible to restore what has been broken, and with others, we can protect it from being att...
