Last year, God called us to "Get Ahead of It," and now He’s challenging us to take it further and "Expand" into everything He has prepared for us.🗣️ In this first message, "Stay Ahead of It," I walk you through the 10 Non-Negotiables for staying spiritually, mental...

✨ Make Your Mark ✨Hey family! Are you ready to stretch into the next level of your calling?

🚦 Get ready to stretch your faith! In this powerful message, we explore how trusting God through uncertainty leads to provision, direction, and miracles. Using 1 Kings 17 and other scriptures, we see how Elijah’s journey and the widow’s faith reveal the power of flexibility and obedience. 🔥 Key Points: Real faith requires real flexibility. A dormant faith is a dying faith—growth happens in the s...

Pastor Chris Durso may not live in Columbia, but he’s not a guest either! Using Paul's last letter to Timothy, Pastor Chris reminded us to heal, forgive, and decide with urgency! Not in a rush, just urgent. If we aren't careful, we'll forget that tomorrow is God's option and not to be assumed. We all have a God-given purpose assigned to us before we had a name, according to Jer...

If you knew too much, you’d move too soon‼️ 😮‍💨 If you’re human, at some point you’ve asked God why He reveals what He reveals, and why He hides what He hides⁉️ “Why didn’t I see that betrayal coming?” “Why’d you let this breakup surprise me?” “Am I not praying enough?” 😭 Sometimes the only way to get insight is to have no sight! If we had our way, we’d skip the “leg days” of life every time. M...

In this powerful message, we’ll discover how prayer serves as our direct line of communication with God, deepening our intimacy with Him and inviting His presence into our lives.

We’ll reflect on Romans 12:12, emphasizing the importance of being joyful, patient, and faithful in prayer. Just as Elisha...

Sin isn’t as bad as you think it is, it’s worse. 😮‍💨🚨 If sin itself is a prison, secrets are the guards and barbed wire fence that make freedom impossible! 🤐 While salvation secures heaven as your home, James 5:16 reminds us that there is no healing without confession. 🙌🏾 If we aren’t careful, shame, guilt, and pride can create a false narrative in our heart that keeps us away from a God who...

We can reply to cultures demands in 3 ways. Complying, Complaining, or Confronting..  If we’re going to Engage Culture, we must first Engage Heaven!!  When we engage heaven, we’re reminded of Heaven’s agenda and it becomes ours.  Which is making the Kingdoms of this world become the Kingdoms of our God! 

It won’t last.  For better or for worse, everything ends. Everything expires.. all things fade.  BUT the Bible tells us, that in Jesus we can find a hope that is like an anchor for our souls‼️  Pastor Micahn Carter, stopped by CLUB TWO NOTCH to remind us it’s not what’s on you, it’s what’s in you that matters most‼️😮‍💨  Joseph lost his coat of many colors, lost status, and the comforts of home. ...

So many of us are participating in repetition without revelation⁉️ 🤯😮‍💨🙌🏾  Have you ever felt like you lacked power in your Christian experience? Reading your word, participating in worship, and it feels like your punches don’t land against the enemy?  Well, Pastor Keshia gave us the CHEATCODE to unleashing the power of God in our lives.  Repetition in faith, is absolutely necessary in the be...
