Work is a form of worship and a part of the image of God. Without saying, “live long and prosper”, Pastor Duane shows us how mixing faith with our work gives us a prosperous mindset!

Our words, if spoken in faith, have the power to change the trajectory of our lives. Jesus said that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains, and the scriptures give many examples of how Jesus would sow seeds of faith and see an instant harvest. And though we may not always see instant results, we need to understand that our words matter and that if we mix faith with our words, we will...

Words are seeds! What kind of spiritual seeds are you planting with your words? We tend to forget the power of what we say, but Pastor Duane reminds us that what we say has such potential to grow into something big, whether good or bad. This message will inspire you to start planting the spiritual seeds that will bring a good harvest in your life and in the lives of others around you! The post The...

God’s Word is like a seed. It carries life and has the power to grow exponentially and produce nourishing fruit. But seed only grows when planted in soil! You must plant it and trust that your soil has been given everything it needs to produce good fruit in your life The post The Mystery of Seeds | Part 2 | Duane Sheriff appeared first on Victory Life Church .

Good in, good out: Bad in, bad out. It is a simple enough principle, especially in gardening. If you plant good seeds in good soil, you will get good crops. If you plant bad seeds, even in good soil, you will get bad crops. So, what are you planting in your life?

We believe we are on the cusp of a mighty move of God, for our church, our country, and the world; we’re believing there’s a 3rd Great Awakening happening. We are positioning ourselves as the Lord is directing us to be leaders in this movement. We are excited about what the Lord has in store for us!

A balanced diet is just as important in spiritual development and growth as it is in the natural! Each part of the diet is important for certain parts of development, so one neither replaces nor stands more important than the other. And just as we go through different phases of what and in what form we can eat things dependent on our age, so it is in our spiritual maturity. So, what are you eating...

Maturity takes a lot of work, a lot of learning and a lot of support! The Bible calls for the mature in the faith to act as spiritual parents to the immature in the faith; not to be overbearing know-it-alls but to lovingly guide and teach the Word of God. This takes patience and grace, but also takes the fortitude to stand up for what is right and call out the dangers that could harm others. The p...

True understanding comes with maturity. It’s not a given for a child. It takes years before a child can hear and actually understand why they should not put that piece of metal in the electric outlet or put random objects in their mouth. And while as adults we are likely not doing any of those things, we may still not be mature enough to understand what God is saying in His Word and through other...

While we may not have our fingers in our ears, there are things that we may have experienced, or are experiencing, that keep us from hearing clearly. Our hurts, history and hang ups can keep us from growing up! God is always talking and revealing things to us, we need only to clear the noise of all the distractions to hear and apply all that He is saying to us. The post Immaturity, A Trojan Horse...

No one likes changing a dirty diaper, but babies can’t clean up their own messes. They need a grown-up to clean them and then train them for a time. Immaturity is ok for a season, but we can’t allow it to continue in our lives as if we are adults walking around with diapers on. We have to put things we did as a child away to fully mature. It’s time for us to grow up and stop causing a […] The post...

It may be hard to believe but we actually do not know everything! Humility is so important in seeing where we truly are in our growth. Immaturity can keep us from stepping into a greater understanding, a greater reasoning and a greater relationship with Jesus.

Life can be overwhelming. Is the weight of it keeping you down? The Good News is there is one who provides the strength and hope to stand and walk tall. There is one who has been through hell and back again so that you would not have to. Through Jesus, we are more than conquerors! Hear more from Pastor Duane in Part 2 of Good News.

We all need Good News, especially in a time where bad news runs rampant. The strength, wisdom, wholeness, and hope we need to live well in this life is found in the truth and sovereignty of Jesus. Take some time to hear the Good News, share it and truly live from it! The post Good News – Part 1 – Duane Sheriff appeared first on Victory Life Church .

Transformation is not an automatic thing but a process. A process that takes us from inspiration to revelation to integration and finally to transformation. To walk through this process, we need to live from truth and know how to discern what is good. So, what determines what is good? Checkout this message from Pastor Jacob to find out! The post The Church on Mission | Part 6 | Jacob Sheriff appea...

Transformation is not an automatic thing but a process. And that process takes knowing and walking with Truth. If we live in such a way that we are continuously distracted by the world around us, rather than fully engaged in Truth, we will always be susceptible to lies and never fully be transformed into who God has destined us to become.

Whether you have religious affiliations or not, you have a “god”. Whatever you put your trust in and follow is your “god”. Who’s your god? As Christians, we worship a God who proved His love for us, by dying for us. We respond to His love by obeying His commands. His mission, and His direction, should craft our culture and lives – not the other way around. The post The Church on Mission | Part 4 |...

God has commissioned His Church, His people, to share His life and salvation in this world. But this is not just an action of “doing”, it stems from who we have become. Who you are determines what you will do. Pastor Jacob talks on the importance of our transformation in this message.

What does it look like to live in the Kingdom of God? It means a life lived as a disciple of Jesus – but what does that really mean? It means learning to live our life as Jesus would live our life if he were us. In this message, Pastor Jacob shares some steps for living in God’s Kingdom in the here and now.

While there is a lot of darkness in the world, this is not a time to get caught up in despair and hopelessness and confusion. It is a time for the Church to be on mission; a time to put first things first. Jesus is calling us to seek first the Kingdom of God, submitting everything else under His authority and seeing it as He desires to see it. We are not in dark times, we are in divine times! The...

The power of God’s people standing in His will, can take down any foe, any enemy. It is the Armor of God that equips us to stand and gives us the wisdom of when and how to take a stand. It’s time to suit up and take a stand! The post Time to Stand | Part 4 | Duane Sheriff appeared first on Victory Life Church . Support the show https://victorylifechurch.com/teachings/

The Devil never takes a day off from the battle to destroy mankind. He is clever and never appears as we think he will, as he often comes masquerading in what seems right and good. We know that God will win the battle! But we need to stand and fight for the moral influence in our world and for those who are lost with weapons and armor that equips us to fight spiritually. The post Time to Stand | P...

The power of God’s people standing in His will, can take down any foe, any enemy. But we need to learn what to fight, when to fight, why to fight and who we fight. In part 2 of this series, Pastor Duane shares on the importance of knowing who we are wrestling with, the enemy’s tactics and when to take a stand.
