“You cannot build your church on religious people.” In this powerful opening night sermon of the Waltham Forest Conference, Pastor Nigel Brown issues a timely and prophetic warning: If we prioritize church growth over new birth, we may lose the very culture that fuels our calling. Using Acts 5 as his foundation, Pastor Brown contrasts the “rest who dared not join” with those born again into a supe...

Pastor Greg Mitchell closes San Antonio Conference with “Courage to Conquer” from 1 Chronicles 19:8–15. When Joab was surrounded front and back, he didn’t fold—he planned, split his forces, and cooperated with Abishai.

Pastor Richard Rubi applies this to modern church life—judging sexual immorality, guarding fellowship accountability, refusing discouragement, and buildin...

Moses blamed the people: “Because of you…” But the truth is, God was holding him accountable for his own choices.

The call touches the whole home like Abraham and Isaac (Gene...

Raising the next generation is not a top-down project. It lives or dies in the middle. From Acts 18, Pastor Adam shows how Aquila and Priscilla quietly took Apollos aside and turned raw zeal into sharp effectiveness.  Along the way: Nokia vs. Toyota culture, Jethro’s counsel to Moses (Exodus 18), the tragedy of Judges 2, Titus 1 order, and a USS Wisconsin illustration on “recommissioning” veterans...
