The Sermon Series with Pastor Lawrence C. Barnes Jr.

JUNE 7, 2026 God is not limited by delays, setbacks, or human timelines. Drawing from Galatians 3:29, the life of Abraham, Aaron’s budding rod, and the principle of late-planted corn, Pastor Barnes teaches that God is sovereign over both the promise and the timing of its fulfillment. What appears late, delayed, or even impossible to man can still come to pass when God speaks His appointed season....

MAY 31, 2026 The blessing of God often becomes most evident in seasons of adversity rather than seasons of abundance. Drawing from Galatians 3:29, the life of Abraham, Israel’s deliverance from Egypt, and the story of Ruth, Pastor Barnes reveals that those who belong to Christ are heirs of Abraham’s promises and carry a blessing that cannot be canceled by difficult circumstances. Just as a seed co...

MAY 17, 2026 The promises of God often unfold through seasons before they are fully manifested. Drawing from Psalm 105:17–19 and the life of Joseph, Pastor Barnes reveals that a Word from God may first lead through hidden seasons, painful testing, and circumstances that appear completely opposite of what God has spoken. Just as Joseph carried dreams of elevation while sitting in a prison with iron...

MAY 3, 2026 On the journey through life’s trials, the greatest need is not escape—but transformation. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10:1–2, Pastor Barnes reveals that what feels like a dead end is often God’s appointed pathway. Just as Israel stood before the Red Sea with no way out, we often find ourselves in moments of fear, pressure, and uncertainty. Though the trial feels overwhelming, it is not...

APRIL 26, 2026

APRIL 19, 2026 In a fallen world marked by pain, disappointment, and spiritual heaviness, it is easy for the human spirit to become wounded and diminished. Drawing from Job and Israel’s captivity in Babylon, Pastor Barnes reveals how trials, sin, and life’s pressures create “spiritual erosion,” gradually wearing down faith, hope, and expectation. Though the human spirit may become broken, pessimis...

APRIL 12, 2026 On the Emmaus Road, the greatest need is not just understanding—but revelation. Drawing from Luke 24, Pastor Barnes reveals that Jesus often walks with us even when we don’t recognize Him, opening the Scriptures while waiting for hearts to become receptive. Though the disciples had knowledge, their eyes were “holden” until Jesus chose to reveal Himself, showing that spiritual clarit...

APRIL 5, 2026 True passion is not a fleeting emotion but a deep, God-given calling tied to identity and purpose. Drawing from Acts 1:3, Ephesians 2:10, and Jeremiah 1:5, Pastor Barnes reveals that every person is created with intentional design and a divine assignment that cannot be ignored. This passion is like a fire within, driving believers toward the work they were created to fulfill, beyond...

APRIL 7, 2026

MARCH 22, 2026 The anointing that was upon Jesus now rests upon His Church, empowering believers to do His works—and even greater. Drawing from John 14:12 and Isaiah 61, Pastor Barnes reveals that this anointing is the power of God working through human vessels to heal, deliver, and break every form of bondage. While miracles are powerful, the greatest work is the transformation of lives through t...

MARCH 15, 2026 Wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, liberty is produced. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 3:17 and the ministry of Jesus, Pastor Barnes reveals that God’s Spirit brings freedom from sin, bondage, and every form of captivity. Throughout Scripture, the pattern is clear—when the Spirit moves, liberty is created, even in the midst of oppression. Liberty begins in the Spirit and flows into eve...

MARCH 8, 2026 Tribulation, opposition, and spiritual battles are inevitable, but they are no match for the victory Christ has already secured. Drawing from John 16:33 and the life of the Apostle Paul, Pastor Barnes reveals that triumph is not the absence of struggle, but the ability to hear and walk in victory even in the midst of it. While circumstances speak through pressure and hardship, there...

FEBRUARY 15, 2026 God is the God of transition, faithfully leading His people from one season to the next. Drawing from John 20:17 and the journey of Israel, Pastor Barnes reveals that transitions are the in-between places where God carefully regulates timing, strength, and capacity. What feels like delay is not denial, but divine calculation and protection—God moving “little by little” to prepare...

FEBRUARY 8, 2026 Alignment determines impact. Drawing from Luke 15:1–7, Pastor Barnes teaches that spiritual effectiveness flows from being properly aligned with God—not from public approval, imitation, or visible success. Using the illustration of a magnifying glass, he shows how God’s love, mercy, and grace are magnified through believers who are positioned correctly before Him. Misalignment may...

JANUARY 4, 2026 Fear and failure may feel defining, but God’s potency proves they are not final. Drawing from Romans 8 and the finished work of Christ, Pastor Barnes reveals how believers are empowered to overcome what once seemed permanent. Through the Word, the Spirit, and the Blood of Jesus, God confronts sin, bondage, accusation, and weakness at their root. Experience may try to distort truth,...

DECEBMER 28, 2025 Failure and weakness may feel powerful, but they are no match for God’s potency. Drawing from Romans 8 and the finished work of Calvary, Pastor Barnes reveals how believers overcome through the Word, the Spirit, and the Blood of Jesus. Sin, fear, accusation, and bondage may cling to the mind and soul, but God’s power reaches deeper and breaks what once seemed permanent. Experienc...

DECEMBER 21, 2025 Knowledge alone is not relationship—God desires shared experience. Drawing from Abraham’s ultimate test on Mount Moriah, Pastor Barnes reveals that God is not satisfied with mental agreement or distant devotion. He seeks a lived, obedient relationship—one forged in time, sacrifice, and surrender. Christianity cannot remain in the mind; faith must be lived, walked out, and proven...

DECEMBER 14, 2025 This compelling message calls believers to move beyond casual connection into intentional relationship with God. Drawing from Joshua’s charge to sanctify before crossing over, Elder Wayne Walters challenges the church to understand that engagement is not driven by emotion, convenience, or crisis—but by purpose. God is not a resource to be accessed only in need; He is the source w...

DECEMBER 7, 2025 This powerful message calls believers back to the revelation of who Jesus truly is. Drawing from creation, incarnation, and redemption, Minister Peter Milton unveils Christ as the fullness of God revealed—the Spirit and Life working together to transform humanity. God did not send a substitute; He came Himself, entering our world to destroy the works of the enemy, restore what was...

NOVEMBER 30, 2025 This urgent and faith-stirring message is a call to movement in the face of stagnation. Drawing from the four lepers at the gate of Samaria, Minister Dirk Wallace confronts the danger of spiritual paralysis and passive faith. When famine, fear, and unbelief surround the people of God, staying still is not an option. This message declares that hope, expectation, and obedience acti...

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 This timely message is a call to believers who refuse to live on empty. Drawing from the widow’s oil, the shut door of prayer, and the wise virgins, Minister Garnett Martin challenges the church to recognize that God fills only what is surrendered and available. The miracle did not stop because God ran out—it stopped because the vessels did. Private prayer, intentional preparatio...

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 Fear and defeat may feel final, but Jacob’s story shows they are only setups for blessing. Pastor Barnes reveals how feelings can mislead, yet God uses wrestling to break stubborn will and prepare the soul for transformation. Brokenness positions us for destiny—God touches what must be touched so His strength can prevail. When you can’t fight anymore, hold on until He blesses. Wh...

NOVEMBER 9,2025 The believer's transformation requires wrestling with God. Drawing from Jacob's all-night struggle and modern spiritual battles, Pastor Barnes exposes how God uses wrestling to cleanse character before promotion. You can't take old habits into new blessings—God breaks what needs breaking first. Keep wrestling until He wins, until His character becomes yours.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 Pain may look like disqualification, but God uses it as access. Drawing from the lives of David, Ruth, Paul, and the Cross itself, Pastor Barnes reveals how weakness, loss, and suffering often become the doorway to deeper anointing and purpose. What feels like death is often preparation; what looks like delay is divine positioning. God wastes nothing—every tear, trial, and hidden...
