Many people have needs but it’s only when need is coupled with desire that people step out in faith to receive what they are longing for. Is the desire of your heart enough of a want that you are willing to step out or is it just an unfulfilled need? March 8th, 2026 Main Event with Pastor Shane Schmidt Connect With Us!!!

God wants us to have wisdom in the inner parts of our heart. It’s not acceptable that we be a vessel that looks clean on the outside but is filthy within. God wants to flood our heart with truth and light—only then can we become the vessel He intends for us to be.

God is love and before the earth was formed He predestined us to be with Him. Jesus brought us salvation and made us part of the family because of God’s love! Don’t rejoice that demons are subject to you. Rejoice that you’ve been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the Kingdom of His dearly loved Son so you can be a partaker of this same love. Excerpt from February 25, 2026 Mi...

God’s Word is seed and the only way we can see the fruition of the harvest God has planned for us is when we deliberately allow the sowing of good seed in our hearts. In Genesis, God prophesied that enmity would be placed between “her seed” (a prophecy of Christ) and the seed of Satan. Greater is He who is in us than He who is in this world. As we allow the seed of God’s Word to be fruitful in our...

God’s intention for every believer is that they would walk in DUNAMIS power! God alone is the perfect source of the faith that creates an expectation to see miracles. What is Dunamis? What hinders Dunamis power? What can you do as a believer to see the miraculous?

Various types of hearts are various types of ground when it comes to the seed that is being sown. Heart receptivity to the teachings of Gods word is the key to accessing and receiving its fruit in your life. Every living thing boils down to a seed and the seed comes from the Lord. As we allow the seed of God’s word to be planted in our hearts it will produce after its kind, bring us light and life...

God’s intention for His people is that they would continually increase generation after generation. The father’s ceiling should be the children’s floor. There is an expectation that godly legacy not just consist of spiritual blessings but also financial blessings that can be used to further the Kingdom for years and years to come. Excerpt from February 11, 2026 Mid Week with Pastor Jason Gillick C...

Every believer is carrying purpose. God set eternity in our hearts and many times we are disillusioned with our current season and longing for the next season when we can be more effective, or more anointed, or more impactful for the people around us. Would it shock us to find that God has set us in this exact place at this exact time for a purpose? God has called you to labor where you are and bu...

When the storms of life come there are two types of foundations. There are those who have built by wisdom on a rock and those who have foolishly built on sand. Christ is the only foundation but sometimes our foundation isn’t steady as it appears. It’s imperative that we build with the right foundation and the right materials. The Lord’s House should always be built with gold and precious stones! E...

Words are seed and they carry the power to change our lives for better or worse. What kind of fruit will you bear? It depends on the seed, the environment, and the frequency with which you sow. Our words have the power to carry life or death, blessing or cursing, justification or condemnation. It’s up to us to allow God’s Word to take root in our hearts so we can produce a good and abundant harves...

Words are seeds and what we choose to speak over our lives can cause us to reap an exponential harvest of the words that were previously spoken. Like the fruit? Keep speaking. Praying for crop failure? Change your words today! Few people understand the power of faith (or doubt) filled words but what we choose to believe and the words we choose to speak have governing power over the outcome of our...

Our confidence in God increases for the next thing as we build a history of walking with Him. When seasons shifted Abraham stepped out at the Lord’s word without really knowing where he was going. All he knew was that there would be a blessing for his obedience. The steps of a good man are ordered of the Lord so when we have accepted God there is a perfect plan for us to walk in. When we hear His...

God wants us to be filled with His Spirit and Jesus asserted that if any man was thirsty he could come to Him and drink. There is a River of Life flowing from the Throne of God but we must be diligent to keep ourselves from distractions and other things that would compete with Him. We must be careful, direct, and intentional in our pursuits. As we allow ourselves to be filled with living water we...

Many people in the world seek success without the Lord but as Christians we should diligently pursue godly success. Why godly success? Because success without Him to a Christian is nothing more than failure. How do we succeed as believers and see God’s blessings come to pass? It starts with being eternally driven, full obedience to His commandments, patience, and faithfulness. Pastor Hannah gives...

In the waters of baptism we are buried with Christ so we can be raised again in the newness of life. It is the outward sign of an internal change that has already taken place in our heart. Jesus died for us so that we could enter into fellowship with Him. Have you accepted Jesus as your Savior? Going to church doesn’t do it, being a good person doesn’t do it, and being religious doesn’t do it eith...

There are many voices in the world competing for our attention. Some are good, some are bad, some are indifferent. Regardless of how many voices surround us, we have to tune our ears to hear the voice of God above all others. Jesus said His sheep knew His voice and wouldn’t follow a stranger. We are His sheep and we are also God’s children. Just as a sheep knows his masters voice or a child knows...

God has called each of His people into a place of fellowship that is rooted in relationship rather than mere spiritual activity. Just as the Old Testament priests were called to stoke the fire and ensure its flame never died out, so we have been called to a passionate relationship with the Lord. We must learn to abide in Him in every circumstance. When we abide, our flame will be sustained no matt...

Many people are searching the world over for materialistic blessings but when we intentionally choose to meditate on the Lord and His Word there are blessings that come upon us that are much more than just financial. God’s intention is that we would receive a blessing so great that it impacts us physically, emotionally, financially, relationally, and spiritually. As we choose to plant ourselves an...

Jesus didn’t come to Earth to just fulfill one role. There are many facets to His nature along with many titles God chose to bestow upon Him. Among some of the most well known names were— Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Understanding why those names were granted to Him tells us everything there is to know about what we have received through His life, death...

If you don’t eat and drink you die! Our spiritual appetites are a necessity that not only sustains us, but also help us grow and walk in the fullness of everything God has for us. It can be tempting to fall into the redundancy of religion and routine but the cry of our heart should always be to encounter Him on a deeper level than we’ve ever known before. Excerpt from December 17th, 2025 mid-week...

Unity has always been God’s intention for His Church. There is a special anointing and blessing that flows in the midst of two or three when they are gathered in unity rather than divided. When we begin to operate as One Body, there is a love in operation that will draw unbelievers to us. Jesus final prayer in the Garden was that we might be one as He is one with the Father. Lord, we say yes to th...

Pastor Shane Schmidt, Devin Corin, and Skyler Gillick recently had the opportunity to go to Brazil for a mission trip. There were many lives changed and people impacted during their time there. The three summed up some of the biggest lessons learned during this testimony service. Excerpt from Sunday, December 7th, 2025 AM Service.

God’s intention was never for His people to be sick. In fact, Believers have been called to lay hands on the sick so that they will recover. There are many obstacles to healing whether it be the fear of man, unbelief, unforgiveness, etc. God wants to build faith in His people to receive their own healing so they grow in confidence when it comes to ministering healing to others. Excerpt from Novemb...

When you gave your heart to the Lord, you immediately became a member of the Family of God. Church isn’t just an organization or a country club— it’s literally the Body of Christ and God’s family. We have been born again into the BEST family with brothers and sisters of every tribe, tongue, and nation. Some people struggle to receive love— even from God— but when we open our hearts to God and each...

God’s Word gives us light and understanding . As we read the Scriptures and seek Him fervently, Holy Spirit will begin to illuminate the scriptures to us. It’s at that moment when the written Word becomes a spoken Word and we receive His direction. Revelation knowledge comes as the truth of His Word is revealed. Don’t grow weary in well doing because the Word you read today is building your faith...
