  1. The Same Spirit

    5D AGO

    The Same Spirit

    This powerful message centers on a transformative truth: the same Spirit that empowered Jesus during His earthly ministry now dwells within every believer. Drawing from 1 John 2:20 and Romans 8, we're reminded that we have received an anointing from the Holy One—not as an add-on to our Christian lives, but as life itself. The sermon explores how Jesus, reading from Isaiah 61 in the synagogue at Nazareth, declared His anointing to preach good news, heal the brokenhearted, and proclaim liberty to captives. What's remarkable is that this same anointing wasn't meant to stay with Jesus alone. When He ascended, the Holy Spirit descended on the Church, spreading that divine power across every nation and into every believer's heart. We're challenged to understand that while Jesus had the anointing without measure, we have been given a measure—a metron—suited to our calling. This means the Spirit of resurrection that raised Christ from the dead now quickens our mortal bodies, bringing life to dead situations in our marriages, families, businesses, and emotional health. The question isn't whether we're anointed enough; it's whether we're awakening to the reality that the Spirit of victory already resides within us, making us more than conquerors in every circumstance we face.

  2. The Anointing Is The Difference Maker - Part 3

    The Anointing Is The Difference Maker - Part 3

    What does it truly mean to be prepared by the Spirit? This powerful exploration into 1 John 2:20 reveals that when we're born again, we're enrolled in a lifelong school where the Holy Spirit serves as our instructor. We discover three profound roles the Spirit plays in our lives: He reveals and corrects us, pointing out what needs to change; He leads and directs us like a divine highlighter, illuminating truth and bringing revelation knowledge when we need it most; and He guides and protects us, guarding us from error and deception. The message challenges a common misconception about verse 27—that we don't need teachers—by reminding us that the Spirit works through the gifts Christ gave the church while also dwelling within us as our internal compass. Perhaps most convicting is the reminder that we can grieve the Holy Spirit, not losing our salvation but potentially losing the tangible sense of His presence. The invitation is clear: if we want more of God's anointing in our lives, we must identify what grieves the Spirit and stop doing it. This isn't about becoming legalistic or weird; it's about cultivating sensitivity to the One who makes us alive and empowers us for our calling.

  3. The Anointing is the Difference Maker - Part 2

    The Anointing is the Difference Maker - Part 2

    This powerful message confronts us with a transformative truth: the anointing isn't just for the spiritual elite—it's available to every believer who hungers for more of God. Drawing from Exodus 30 and the sacred recipe for anointing oil, we discover that being anointed means two essential things: being set apart and being specially gifted by God. The teaching challenges our passive approach to spiritual growth, reminding us that discipleship isn't something we wait to receive—it's something we actively pursue. We're called to run from sexual sin rather than merely resist it, to cleanse ourselves from dishonor so we can become vessels fit for the Master's use. The imagery is striking: in God's household, there are both golden vessels and common clay pots, but the beautiful promise is that anyone who cleanses themselves can become a vessel of honor. This isn't about perfection—the opposite of holy isn't sinless, it's common. When we surrender to God's refining process, He transforms our dumpster-fire lives into golden instruments for His glory. The call is clear: stop settling for a trickle when God has promised a river. The well of the Holy Spirit within us is meant to become a mighty rushing current that overflows and impacts everyone around us.

  4. The Anointing Is The Difference Maker - Part 1

    The Anointing Is The Difference Maker - Part 1

    This powerful message centers on Acts 10:34-38, where Peter discovers that God shows no favoritism and that Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit and power. We're invited to understand that the anointing isn't some mystical concept reserved for elite Christians, but rather the very presence and power of the Holy Spirit available to every believer. The sermon challenges us to recognize that Jesus is the prototype Spirit-filled person, modeling what it means to minister in divine power rather than human strength. What's particularly striking is the call to raise our children with prophetic intentionality, reminding them constantly of their divine purpose rather than worldly achievements. We learn that the anointing enables our gifts to function with ease, bringing us into our personal 'sweet spot' or metron, that unique measure of grace God has given each of us. This isn't about limitations but about discovering where we're uniquely wired to serve. The message warns against stepping outside our anointing into needless ambition and frustration, while also celebrating that God's grace can hit ninth-inning home runs for those who didn't have ideal spiritual upbringings. Ultimately, we're reminded that being anointed means being set apart, consecrated for God's purposes, and that the sweetness of the Holy Spirit should characterize our lives more than any impressive spiritual displays.

  5. Abundance of Open Doors

    JAN 20

    Abundance of Open Doors

    This powerful message centers on the biblical truth that God opens doors of opportunity for His people, drawing from Paul's declaration in 1 Corinthians 16:9 about a 'great door for effective work' opening in Ephesus. We're reminded that when God opens a door, it's not by chance—it's a divine appointment, part of our destiny. The message challenges us to recognize three key aspects of God's open doors: they are great opportunities, they lead to effective ministry with tangible fruit, and they often come with opposition. Yet opposition shouldn't deter us; Paul faced imprisonment, beatings, shipwrecks, and danger, yet he never stopped advancing the Kingdom. The call is clear: 2026 is positioned as a year of abundance where God is opening doors to hearts locally and globally, breaking down oppressive regimes and creating unprecedented opportunities for the gospel. But here's the crucial question—will we step through these doors by faith? The message emphasizes that blooming where we're planted is essential preparation. If we can't win souls in our own communities, if we can't pray for the sick at our local stores, if we can't live with integrity where we are now, we'll never be effective on larger mission fields. The passport becomes a powerful symbol—a physical key that unlocks access to 196 nations, representing our readiness to go wherever God sends us. This isn't just about overseas missions; it's about having a heart posture that says 'hineni'—here I am, send me—without knowing all the details of where or how.

  6. Feasting and Fasting

    JAN 14

    Feasting and Fasting

    This powerful message invites us to reconsider two spiritual practices we often view as opposites: feasting and fasting. Rather than seeing fasting as inherently spiritual and feasting as carnal, we discover that both are essential rhythms in our walk with God. The ancient Israelites celebrated seven major feasts annually but observed only one fast—the Day of Atonement. This reveals something profound about God's character: He is present in our celebrations and joy, not just our deprivation. Biblical feasting celebrates God's generosity and goodness, while biblical fasting reminds us of our complete dependence on Him. Both practices require intentionality and purpose. We're challenged to put both on our calendars—marking birthdays, anniversaries, and church gatherings as opportunities to thank God for His provision, while also scheduling times to humble ourselves through fasting. The early church fasted twice weekly, and leaders like Wesley required ministers to commit to regular fasting. Yet we must remember that fasting doesn't manipulate God; it transforms us. When we fast, we humble ourselves, and God responds to humble hearts. The story of Nineveh demonstrates this beautifully—an entire city, even the animals, participated in a fast of repentance, and God relented from judgment. As we approach a season of intentional prayer and fasting, we're invited to identify what we'll abstain from—not just sugar or treats, but something we'll genuinely miss, something that will remind us throughout each day to turn our hearts toward heaven and contend for breakthrough in our lives and in the lives of those we love.

    Full, Not Frantic

    This message challenges us to shift from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset rooted in God's limitless provision. Drawing from Psalm 65:11 and John 10:10, we're reminded that Jesus came not just to give us life, but life in abundance—overflowing, superfluous, more than we can contain. The enemy operates primarily as a thief, stealing our joy, hope, and innocence in ways we often don't recognize until much later. But here's the transformative truth: an abundant God should not produce closed, scarcity-minded Christians. We explore two pivotal fishing stories from Peter's life—one before he followed Jesus (Luke 5) and one after his failure (John 21). In both instances, empty nets became overflowing catches at Jesus' word. The lesson? One word from Jesus can flip the script of our entire story. Scarcity wants us to partner with our disappointing experiences, but abundance calls us to partner with God's word. Romans 12:1-2 becomes our roadmap: transformation of our minds must precede our ability to walk in God's perfect will. This isn't about denying facts—diagnoses, bank statements, and real struggles exist—but recognizing that truth is bigger than facts. God is not limited by the things that limit us. When we feast on the spiritual meal Isaiah 55 describes, our souls—our mind, will, and emotions—become aligned with heaven's abundance, enabling us to see God's goodness dripping from every corner of our lives, even in the midst of trials.
