Victory Church: Paul Daugherty

What do “Earthquakes, Buffaloes, and Healing Trauma” all have in common? Pastor Paul unpacks the truth of healing from your history to grab hold of your destiny. Using the story of Joseph’s betrayal by his brothers, we see that God does not cause our trauma but He does initiate our healing.  Healing from past hurts is only possible when we open our hearts and give God access to our pain. When you...

One of the greatest examples of man overcoming the fear of man is the story of David versus Goliath. While the entire Israelite army cowered in fear, young David slayed the giant with a stone.  If believers allow the fear of man to direct their lives, they will neglect the plans God has in store for them. The enemy will use scare tactics to intimidate you, but the Lord has given you a spirit of co...

In the Old Testament, King Saul lost his throne because of his insecurity from David’s success. Saul saw David as his enemy and tried to kill him.  Insecurity puts the focus on ourselves, allowing pride to take root in our hearts and minds. We all feel the temptation to live selfishly, but the Lord calls us to set our attention on His Kingdom, not our own kingdom. One of the keys to winning the mi...

Beginning this new year, Pastor Paul is tackling the topic of mental health and the Lord's will for the life of a believer. Our thoughts direct our lives, either producing life or death, so the key to a victorious life is in guarding the gates of our mind. The breakthrough you are waiting for is on the other side of winning the attacks against your mind! PRE-ORDER MIND GAMES: A book on winning the...

Pastor Paul spoke on leaving and entering different seasons throughout our lives, encouraging us to “Finish in Victory.” As a church family, we are committing to a 21-day fast where we seek the will of God for this new year. Fasting is a Biblical principle that should stretch our faith and dependence in the Father. During this time of fasting, challenge yourself to give something of value up that...

Throughout life, we all face “Divine Disruptions” that present opportunities to activate our faith or fear. In Luke 1, Elizabeth and Zacharias, conceived a child who prepared the way for Christ. But before that happened Zacharias questioned the prophetic word. The Lord made him mute to silence the doubt from influencing his faith. Then the couple saw the word of God come to pass amid the enemy’s t...

Victory’s original production, “The Christmas Thread,” told the story of Christ coming to earth through the perspective of the great cloud of witnesses in heaven. While following two high school girls, we saw how the Lord divinely threads people into His miraculous story. God does not look at our past or imperfections when He calls us. Instead, He looks for a willing heart surrendered to Him.  Thi...

On Miracle Offering Weekend, the Spirit of God moved powerfully through the testimonies shared on supernatural generosity and provision. Believers cannot out give the Lord, and this is the truth of sowing and reaping throughout Scripture. Each prayer request and need brought to the altar this weekend holds an opportunity for God to perform a miracle.   We believe your best days are right in front...

We all have the choice between “Shalom or Stress” in our lives. Troubles will always come, but the Lord offers us peace to cultivate a spirit of shalom in any season. In the Bible, Mary and Martha show the contrast between a peaceful heart and a stressful heart. The stress we experience comes from four things: places, people, problems and paces. If we do not find our peace in God, we will find our...

In this season of giving thanks, Pastor Paul spoke a timely word on the importance of praise. When dealing with the problems and pitfalls of life, the key to overcome is praising our way forward. The enemy uses many things to hold back our praise, but Scripture gives us clear instructions on maintaining thanksgiving.  In the book of Daniel, a powerful king is cast into the wilderness by God becaus...

In Victory’s fall film “The Center,” a modern-day parable with Biblical principles, we experience the power of mental health in our lives. This original film was written, directed and produced by members of our team with the hope of shining truth on difficult topics. God cares about our mental health and provides the tools necessary to find freedom. The story follows a writer named Alan Perry in t...

Pastor Paul uses a bold story from the Book of Daniel of three young men who refused to bow to an idol despite the consequence. Believers can be challenged by Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in their strong stance of what they knew to be right in the Lord’s sight. As they obeyed God, He provided peace and protection in a way that brought glory to His Name. The ones who went against cultural norms l...

Amid the devastating war between Israel and Palestine, Pastor Paul shared a prophetic message through the story of Queen Esther. All throughout history, the enemy has targeted Israel, the chosen people of God, with hatred and evil. Believers are called to bless and pray for the Jewish people and country of Israel, uniting with them against the enemy’s plans.  A significant time in Jewish history h...

The story in 2 Kings 4, tells us about a woman who didn't settle for occasional encounters with the word of God. She and her husband made a special room for Elisha, symbolizing their commitment to having God's word present every day. Perhaps the most remarkable part of the story is when Elisha prophesied that the woman, who had never had children, would bear a son within a year. Her initial disbel...

The power of prophetic vision is the central theme in the story of Elijah and Elisha. When Elijah passed his mantle to Elisha, Elisha accepted the challenge, recognizing the potential that Elijah saw in him. We can inspire greatness by calling out the potential we see in others, just like Elijah did. We also looked at Elisha's story in 2 Kings. We learned to look beyond the past to invite people i...

In 1 Kings 19, we see how the prophet Elijah faced extraordinary moments of spiritual power but was grappled with fear and insecurity when Queen Jezebel threatened his life, causing him to run away from his purpose. Pastor Paul shed light on the Jezebel spirit, which operates through intimidation, manipulation, and accusation. Recognizing these tactics empowers us to resist its influence and seek...

This past weekend, we learned about the prophet Elijah in 1 King’s 18 and how his obedience to God's divine commission made way for God’s provision during a long season of drought in Israel. Elijah's obedience in declaring the return of rain reminds us that God can use us as instruments of change and hope in our trying moments. May we find inspiration in Elijah's journey and let our resolve, desir...

This past weekend was powerful and exciting as we launched our fall groups. Pastor Paul also introduced a new series, Prophets, and shared the story of Elijah and The Uncanny Provision of God in his life. Through this message, we learn that because of Elijah’s boldness and obedience, the Lord provided for him in times of drought and adversity. His story teaches us valuable lessons, including the i...

This weekend we heard a message from Terry Henshaw on the Heart Of God. The Heart Of God shows us how we can transform the lives around us through compassion & service.  In this message, Pastor Terry recounted a personal experience where a simple act of kindness in a grocery store paved the way for a life-altering opportunity for a young lady. He also shared stories about the collaborative eff...
