Through the lives of David, Noah, and Aaron, discover how God develops mature believers who not only carry His gifts but reflect His heart. This lesson ends at Proverbs 11:14 and will continue next Wednesday. Become a supporter of th...

Topics covered in this message: • Why standing is the most active, courageous position a believer can take • What it means to resist the enemy and watch him flee • The Roman soldier's defensive formation and what it me...

Have you ever had a season where God just felt silent? Like He's allowing things to happen and not saying much of anything? Like you're doing everything right and still can't feel His presence? If that's where you are — this message was preached for you. In God, Where Are You?, Chris Brown preaches from Isaiah 43:1–7 and grounds the message in the Babylonian exile — one of the darkest seasons in I...

Pastor Joi Poole of New Light Worship Center brings a word from Joel 2:25–27 for everyone who has been in a process longer than expected. God said it plain — I will give you back what you lost. Everything the enemy meant to take. Everything the process cost you. God is restoring it. All of it. Better than before.

Gas prices. Grocery bills. Uncertainty every direction you look. Every day feels like a new mountain. If you've been questioning God — or quietly struggling to hold on to what you believe — this message was preached for exactly this moment. In Faith for the Fire, Pastor A preaches from Hebrews 11:1–3 and Daniel 3 to deliver a word that holds up when life doesn't make sense. Faith isn't for the eas...

You've been trying to walk out your purpose, carry your assignment, navigate hard seasons — and somewhere along the way it started feeling impossible. Like you don't have enough. Like you're missing something. You might be right. But it's not what you think. In this message, Pastor A goes back to Acts 2:1–4 — the Day of Pentecost — and unpacks what really happened when the Holy Spirit was poured o...

You've been doing everything right — and still feel like something's missing. You've been applying, believing, praying, showing up. And yet the worry won't quit. If that's where you are, this message was preached for you. In this message, Chris Brown preaches from Romans 5:1–10 and unpacks three declarations that already belong to every believer: you are justified, you are grace-filled, and you ar...

There comes a moment when you have to stop hiding, stop shrinking, and stop allowing shame to define your identity. In this powerful message from Luke 8, Pastor A walks through the story of the woman with the issue of blood and reveals how shame, isolation, disappointment, and pain can cause us to make ourselves smaller than what God created us to be. But healing begins when faith decides to press...

There is a shift happening. In this powerful anniversary message, Bishop Sylvester Poole Jr. releases a prophetic word that challenges us to stop forcing what no longer fits and step into what God is calling us to build. Through 2 Kings 6, we are reminded that discomfort is not punishment—it is preparation. If you’ve been feeling stretched, unsettled, or out of place, this message will help you un...

In seasons where life feels uncertain and pressure continues to rise, God is not calling us to strive harder—He’s calling us to trust Him differently. In A Seated Victory, we walk through Exodus 17 and the battle between Israel and the Amalekites. While Joshua fought in the valley, Moses stood on the hill with his hands lifted. As long as his hands were raised, Israel prevailed. But when he grew t...

Life has a way of wearing you down. What once felt passionate can start to feel routine. What once felt alive can start to feel distant. In this message, we walk through Psalm 51 and the story of David’s plea to God after realizing something had shifted in his heart. This isn’t just about sin. It’s about recognizing when your relationship with God has gone from fire… to routine. If you’ve been fee...

Easter Sunday came and went. The music was good. The moment was real. But now it's Monday — and the same fears are back, the same doubts are creeping in, the same old patterns are showing up. What was all of that for if nothing actually changes? That's exactly the question this message answers. In "Now What," Pastor A picks up right after the resurrection celebration and challenges believers to ex...

You believe He rose. But are you living like it? There's a difference between knowing the resurrection happened and actually walking in what it gave you access to. Most of us are celebrating Easter without ever claiming what it purchased. This message changes that. In "I Have Been Justified," Pastor A opens Romans 8:31-39 and takes us into one of the most powerful identity declarations in all of s...

God, Get In My Business | The Purpose Church | March 29, 2026 You've been asking God for help. But have you actually given Him access? Most of us pray when things fall apart — but this message challenges you to build a consistent, intentional prayer life that keeps heaven involved in every area of your life, even when things are going right. In "God, Get in My Business," Pastor A unpacks Joshua 10...

You have a security system, insurance, and a whole maintenance plan keeping your home in order. But when's the last time you invested that same energy into protecting your spirit? Most of us are governing our natural homes better than our spiritual ones — and in this message, Pastor A breaks down exactly why that has to change. In "For Me and My House," Pastor A unpacks Joshua 24:14-15 and challen...

Have you ever stayed too long in a relationship, environment, or pattern that God was already telling you to leave? This message speaks directly to the cost of delayed exits, compromised boundaries, and becoming casual with what God called sacred.  In “Lord, Teach Me How to Exit Part III,” Pastor A closes the exit series by walking through the story of Samson and Delilah. This message focuses on c...

In this message, we are reminded that even in a world filled with chaos, uncertainty, and pressure, God has not moved from His place. Our culture may feel unstable. News cycles change every day. The pressure of life can make it feel like God is distant. But the truth is simple. God is where He has always been. Faithful. This word challenges us to stop waiting for rescue and recognize that the work...

In this message, Pastor A teaches us how to remain confident in God’s promises even when earthly systems look unstable. “Resting in the Promise” reminds us that what God began, He will finish. His Word is not paused because of chaos. His promises are not subject to the conditions of this world. If you have been feeling weary, uncertain, or stretched thin trying to do God’s part, this message will...

When God calls you a hero… but you’re hiding. In Judges 6, Israel is in bondage because of their own disobedience. Their crops are destroyed. Their livestock is taken. They are starving. And Gideon is hiding in a winepress when God calls him something he doesn’t feel like — a mighty hero Go With What You Got. This message reminds us: • Trouble is not always spiritual warfare — sometimes it’s harve...

There are some storms in your life that aren’t spiritual warfare… They’re sent storms. In this powerful message, we revisit the story of Abraham and Lot and examine how compassion can override obedience — and how staying connected to people, places, and things after they’ve expired can cost you more than you realize. Then we shift to Jonah — a prophet running from assignment — and discover how dis...

Discipleship isn’t just getting saved. It’s a relationship. It’s training. It’s commitment. And in this Bible Study (Discipleship Pt. 2), we go straight to the first mark of a true disciple: denying self and making Christ a priority. We open in prayer, covering families, the church, and this fasting season, then jump into a powerful teaching from Mark 8:34–38 about what it really means to follow J...

In this powerful message, "Here by Intercession," Minister April Speight shifts our focus from the miracle itself to the people who made it possible. Before Lazarus ever heard, “Come forth,” someone had to send a message. Before resurrection power showed up, intercession went ahead. This Word reminds us that God honors intercession, responds to borrowed faith, and moves when trusted messengers spe...

In this message, we’re reminded that soaring is a decision of faith. Waiting in the Lord doesn’t mean standing still — it means trusting God as He strengthens us for higher heights. If average no longer satisfies and your spirit is being stretched, this Word will encourage you to keep your faith up, align your language, and choose to soar anyway.
