Victory Church | Winchester, VA

How do we become a person of prayer? Pastor Keith shares that we must pray with dependence on God, desperation for God to answer, and determination that we won't give up until He does. Prayer not only changes our circumstances- it changes us!

God has given us an instruction manual to use when we pray. In this instruction manual, we learn: that prayer is relational, and God is relational; that we should pray for big, bold things; that we should pray about things in our day-to-day lives; our prayers are for the future and they happen here and now.

Prayer is the key to entering into a relationship with God. When we look at Jesus' example, we see how and when we should pray.

We must understand the Sanctity of Life from a Biblical perspective. All life is sacred from the womb to the tomb. As God's creation, made in His image, every human life is valuable and has dignity - no matter age, stage, ethnicity, race, nationality, religion, sexual preference, political affiliation, or socioeconomic status.

Pastor Randy Carter shares how you can partner with God to make your church a success. Partners encourage us, support us, take risks, and create an atmosphere where failure isn't fatal.

As Creator, God made everything GOOD. To experience the fullness of the good life He intends, we must understand that we are created in His image. We are valued, loved, perfectly designed, and able, through redemption, to live a life that honors God. Pastor Keith Cross explains God's plan for gender identity and sexuality and how we can align ourselves with God's plan while showing His compassion...

Does how you vote really matter? Pastor Keith shares a framework for voting most Biblically this election season. He explains how we are called to personally care for our culture and how we must participate carefully so that we can ultimately exalt Jesus.

As followers of Jesus, we are to be Kingdom-focused but we have to learn to engage our culture with compassion. Pastor Sarah kicks off our "Culture Wars" series by looking at how we can live in this current culture moment without compromising our faith.

Are you seeking God's direction in your life? God wants to direct those who desire to do His will, Pastor Keith explains that there are three things we can do to help determine the direction God wants us to go: We must be open to God's direction, we must be submitted to God's direction, and we must be joyfully expectant of God's direction.

Pastor Keith shares the incredible truth that Jesus can look at an impossible situation and speak life over it. Stop seeing the death of a dream, a relationship, or even your reputation as a defeat: sometimes some things have to be removed before there can be a resurrection.

On a recent trip the gym, Pastor Keith shares how he was told "If you aren't fully devoted to it, you won't reap the benefits from it." Being fully devoted to God and to His people are the only way to reap the benefits of a relationship with Him. Moments spark the fire but only devotion fans the flame!

Pastor Sarah leads us through the story of Sarah in the Old Testament and how she had to wait to see God fulfill His promise to her. There is always something happening while we are waiting. We have to watch what happens, stay in community, and live in hope.

Jesus talked about financial stewardship more than any other topic other than the Kingdom of God. Pastor Keith explains that God isn't wanting something from us, He wants something for us. He wants to bless us as we give Him our hearts through financial stewardship. If we can trust His intentions towards us, we become motivated in our giving.

Noah's legacy was "all that God commanded him, so he did." What will our legacy be? If you are going to be faithful to your God-given assignment, it will require hard work. Pastor Keith encourages us that there's no fast lane to faithfulness but it is always worth it.

Suffering is part of our human existence and we are often faced with the ultimate questions of "why?". Pastor Keith explores the essentials necessary for finding purpose in our pain, and how God uses it to develop Godly character in us.

Our occupation is secondary, our mission is primary. Pastor Keith explains that we all have a mission, an assignment, from God that we have to identify, embrace, and fulfill. The devil works in the distractions, but we aren't accountable to our critics, we are only accountable to God.

Pastor Sarah revisits the topic of freedom, reminding us of Pastor Keith's word for 2024, "Undeniable Freedom." Needing freedom and wanting freedom are two different things. In order to be set free, we have to want it, recognize its cost, and fight for it.

What you are on the inside will eventually show on the outside. Patrick Gratch explains how important it is for us to be connected to the vine, Jesus, so that we can bear fruit. Being with Jesus makes all the difference!

Pastor Rob reminds us that the true gospel is more than just words, and this generation needs to see the gospel in action. He tells the story of the famous Azusa Street revival that took place in 1906, and explains what elements must be present for a Biblical revival to take place.

Do you feel forgotten by God? Pastor Pete reminds us that God has not forgotten us, and we need to remember God's promises to us. Just like we take time to remember those who have served and we give thanks for their sacrifices, we need to remember all that God has done for us.

A life centered on God is separated from the world, satisfied with the Word, situated by the waters, and secured by Christs work. In the final message of this series on Psalms, Pastor Keith leads us through Psalm 1, reminding us that God's measure of success begins with us having our lives centered on Him.

Lesdy Lopez brings us back to the essentials, reminding us that depending on God is the only way we can live a life that pleases Him. Depending on God means we have to develop a deep relationship with Him, spending time in prayer and surrendering control to Him.

Our Good Shepherd restores and heals us both spiritually and emotionally. How exactly does He restore our souls? It begins when we ask God to remove our guilt, relieve our grief, and replace our grudges.

In this first message in his series, On Repeat: Psalms Greatest Hits, Pastor Keith explains that we can count upon God's continual care of us. He cares for us by offering a relationship with us, accepting responsibility for us, and committing to our restoration. He is indeed a good Shepherd!

We are not made to receive glory, but to reflect glory. In this Pentecost Sunday message, Pastor Keith clarifies that when you receive the Holy Spirit and then go into the cubicle, into the business meeting, into that award ceremony- your success is not about you, it is about His power and His glory.
