    STARVE the Flesh; FEED the Spirit | Pastor Drew

    🐦‍🔥 "The thing you resist actually will persist... The more I focus on my sin, the more I'm going to be focused on my sin." — Pastor Drew In this installment of the "Hunting Phoenix" sermon series, Pastor Drew addresses how to break free from recurring strongholds by changing where we place our focus. While many believers stay trapped in habitual sin by constantly obsessing over their struggles (what we resist, persists), true biblical transformation comes from starving the flesh and actively feeding the spirit. Drawing from Galatians 5, Romans 12, and Philippians 4, Pastor Drew outlines a three-part framework to defeat strongholds from the inside out: Shift Your Focus off the sin and onto Christ, Renew Your Mind by building new spiritual pathways, and Replace Your Habits with practical, God-honoring daily rhythms. By claiming our true identity in Christ and surrounding ourselves with allies who remind us who we are, we can step out of the cycle of defeat and into lasting spiritual victory. ------------------------------------------ 📖 Scripture References Galatians 5: 16–25 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/GAL.5.16-25 1 Corinthians 10 :13 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/1CO.10.13 Mark 9: 28–29 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/MRK.9.28-29 Romans 12: 1–2 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/ROM.12.1-2 Philippians 4: 8–9 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/PHP.4.8-9 1 Timothy 6: 11 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/1TI.6.11 2 Corinthians 5: 17 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/2CO.5.17 ------------------------------------------ 00:00 — Introduction: God Desperately Wants to Connect with You 03:34 — Hunting Phoenix: Sins of Omission vs. Sins of Commission 07:14 — Series Recap: Coming Broken, Identifying Lies, and Setting Boundaries 09:35 — You Are Not Alone: God Always Provides a Way Out (1 Corinthians 10) 10:58 — Starve the Flesh, Feed the Spirit (Mark 9 & Galatians 5) 14:29 — Step 1: Shift Your Focus (The Angel/Devil Shoulder Illustration) 20:33 — The Works of the Flesh vs. The Fruit of the Spirit 23:03 — Step 2: Renew Your Mind & Build New Neurological Pathways (Romans 12) 26:20 — Fixing Your Thoughts on Truth & Remembering Who You Are (Philippians 4 & 1 Timothy 6) 31:28 — Step 3: Replace Your Habits & Build Keystone Rhythms 36:33 — Practical Application: Writing & Praying Identity Statements 39:10 — Altar Call & Closing Prayer for Spiritual Breakthrough ------------------------------------------ For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomaha We'd love to hear from you!

    From Hunted to HUNTER: How to BATTLE a Stronghold | Pastor Drew

    🐦‍🔥 "Don't try to battle with your own words. Battle with the Bible. God's words come with an authority that you do not have." — Pastor Drew Continuing the "Hunting Phoenix" sermon series, Pastor Drew addresses how believers can shift from being hunted by recurring sins to becoming active overcomers through spiritual warfare. Using personal stories of struggle and victory, he highlights that overcoming persistent strongholds requires recognizing the spiritual nature of the battle and establishing proactive, inconvenient boundaries before temptation strikes. Drawing from Paul’s exhortations in Ephesians 6, 2 Timothy 2, and Romans 6, Pastor Drew outlines a two-phase strategy for freedom: Flight (fleeing access points and triggers) followed by Fight (standing firm with the armor of God, Scripture, and prayer). By evaluating personal vulnerability triggers—such as when one is Haughty, Angry, Lonely, or Tired (HALT)—and engaging with trusted spiritual allies, believers can step into the full authority and freedom provided through Jesus Christ. ----------------------------------- 📖 Scripture References Genesis 4: 7 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/GEN.4.7 Ephesians 6: 10–20 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/EPH.6.10-20 2 Timothy 2: 22 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/2TI.2.22 1 Corinthians 6: 18 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/1CO.6.18 James 4: 6–8 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JAS.4.6-8 Psalm 119 :9–11 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/PSA.119.9-11 Romans 6: 12–14 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/ROM.6.12-14 ----------------------------------- 00:00 — Introduction: Moving from Hunted to Hunter 03:14 — Recap: Prayer, Identifying Lies, and Confessing to Allies 05:20 — Understanding the Spiritual Reality of Sin (Genesis 4 & Ephesians 6) 09:50 — Personal Testimony: The 7-Year Battle & the Desire to Truly Kill Sin 15:02 — Phase 1: Flight — Fleeing Temptation (The Lord’s Prayer) 18:12 — Identifying Access Points & Creating Inconvenient Boundaries 20:21 — Recognizing Triggers: The H.A.L.T.

    Strip SIN of Its Power | Pastor Drew

    🐦‍🔥 "Once you say, 'I am yours,' and He implants His Spirit inside of you, no longer does sin carry power or authority over you—except that which you give it." — Pastor Drew Continuing the "Hunting Phoenix" sermon series, Pastor Drew tackles how to strip power from recurring spiritual strongholds, addictions, and patterns of sin. While salvation brings freedom from sin’s authority, believers often fall back into habitual patterns by making subconscious agreements with core lies planted by the enemy. Drawing from Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4, Pastor Drew breaks down a four-step framework to dismantle strongholds: catching the sin or trigger, calling out the underlying core lie, countering that lie with the Word of God, and confessing to a trusted ally. Moving beyond mere surface honesty, he emphasizes the necessity of complete transparency and radical accountability to bring true healing to the soul. ---------------------------------------- Scripture References Romans 6 :7 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/ROM.6.7 John 4: 1–30 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.4.1-30 James 5 :16 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JAS.5.16 James 5: 19–20 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JAS.5.19-20 ---------------------------------------- 00:00 — Introduction: Celebrating God’s Presence & New Life Sunday 05:01 — The "Same Thing" Commercial: Identifying Recurring Sin 07:05 — Salvation vs. Sanctification (Romans 6) 10:34 — The Woman at the Well: Breaking Cultural & Spiritual Barriers (John 4) 12:50 — Well Water vs. Living Water: Soul Satisfaction 16:33 — Step 1: Catch the Sin or the Trigger 21:40 — Unmasking Enemy Distractions & Worship Issues 24:08 — Step 2: Call Out the Core Lie Underneath the Stronghold 29:43 — Step 3: Counter the Lie with Biblical Truth 32:48 — Step 4: Confess to an Ally (James 5) 34:48 — Three Essentials for Accountability: Honesty vs. Transparency 37:25 — How to Receive Confession with Truth and Love 39:41 — Practical Altar Call & Challenge to Seek an Ally ---------------------------------------- For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomaha We'd love to hear from you!

    Defeating the Sin that KEEPS Coming Back | Pastor Drew

    🐦‍🔥 "When you start over by focusing on you, you are actually amplifying the big problem... Rebirth in Christ is actually not about redefining me. It's about dying to me." — Pastor Drew In this message, Pastor Drew kicks off the sermon series titled "Hunting Phoenix," which focuses on identifying and destroying recurring spiritual strongholds, addictions, and sins that seem to rise from the ashes back into our lives. He contrasts the world's version of rebirth—which focuses on self-redefinition and personal effort—with biblical rebirth, which requires complete surrender and dying to self. Drawing from Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus in John 3, Paul’s struggle in Romans 7, and the humility of the tax collector in Luke 18, Pastor Drew highlights that our greatest mistake is trying to defeat spiritual battles in our own strength. He emphasizes that the path to true freedom begins with the honest admission of "I can't," shifting our focus from our own weakness ("I am not") to God's ultimate power ("But He is"). ------------------------------------------- 📖 Scripture References John 3: 1–16 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.3.1-16 Matthew 16: 24–25 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/MAT.16.24-25 Colossians 3: 3 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/COL.3.3 Romans 7: 18–25 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/ROM.7.18-25 Luke 18: 9–14 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/LUK.18.9-14 Ephesians 6: 12 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/EPH.6.12 ------------------------------------------- 00:00 — Introduction & Welcome to Collective Church 01:11 — Series Launch: "Hunting Phoenix" & Overcoming Strongholds 03:26 — Unmasking Modern Addictions & Distractions 07:54 — What is a "Phoenix" Sin? 09:09 — Worldly Rebirth vs. Biblical Rebirth (John 3 & Matthew 16) 14:19 — Surrendering Purpose: Creator vs. Creation 15:58 — Step One: Admitting "I Can't" (Romans 7) 18:50 — The Humility of the Tax Collector (Luke 18) 19:44 — What the Church Can Learn from AA Meetings 23:03 — From "I Am Not" to "But God Can" (Ephesians 6) 25:08 — Altar Call & Prayer of Desperation 28:41 — Invitation to Recommit & Gospel Call ------------------------------------------- For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomaha We'd love to hear from you!

    Perhaps, GOD WILL! | Pastor Morgan

    🔥"God does not need a big army. He needed two people with faith. God did not need favorable circumstances; He needed willing vessels." — Pastor Morgan In this sermon, Pastor Morgan challenges believers to break free from fear-based paralysis and step into an active, bold faith. Drawing from 1 Samuel 14, where Jonathan and his armor bearer confronted a Philistine outpost, she highlights the contrast between King Saul—who sat paralyzed under a pomegranate tree in fear—and Jonathan, who chose to move in faith saying, "Perhaps the Lord will act on our behalf". Ahead of Collective Church's fifth anniversary ("Welcome Home Sunday"), Pastor Morgan outlines six key elements that faith requires: movement, risk, belief in God's character, armor bearers (community), confirmation, and a willingness to trust God for "crazy" outcomes. The message concludes with a call to action to stop letting past disappointments or societal fear dictate obedience, and to trust that God can still work through willing vessels. ------------------------------------ 📖 Scripture References 1 Samuel 14:1–14 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/1SA.14.1-14 Hebrews 11:1 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/HEB.11.1 Exodus 17:8–13 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/EXO.17.8-13 Mark 9:24 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/MRK.9.24 ------------------------------------ 00:00 — Church Fast Announcement & Welcome Home Sunday Intro 03:15 — Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 14 (Jonathan & the Armor Bearer) 05:56 — Context: Saul's Fear vs. Jonathan's Faith 08:44 — How Worldly Fear Paralyzes Our Faith 12:35 — Point 1: Faith Requires Movement 14:41 — Point 2: Faith Requires Risk 18:25 — Point 3: Faith Requires Belief ("Perhaps God Will") 21:42 — Point 4: Faith Requires Armor Bearers (Holding Up Arms) 27:08 — Point 5: Faith Requires Confirmation 30:04 — Point 6: Faith Sometimes Requires "Crazy" 34:01 — Altar Call, Worship & Prayer Against Fear 41:48 — Closing Encouragement: "I Believe, Help My Unbelief" ------------------------------------ For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomaha We'd love to hear from you!

    What Church was SUPPOSED to Look Like // Value in Motion Series // Pastor Drew

    🔥"If you are comfortable in your faith, your faith is dying... If you're uncomfortable in your faith, that means your faith is alive." — Pastor Drew In this message, Pastor Drew challenges the congregation to move past a passive, "comfortable" faith and step into a missional lifestyle. Highlighting that the church is meant to be an "aircraft carrier" (refueling to be sent out) rather than a "cruise ship" (a place to simply sit and be served), he outlines how true discipleship requires both individual and corporate action. Ahead of the church's upcoming Welcome Home Sunday and fifth anniversary celebration, Pastor Drew announces a church-wide seven-day fast and prayer push to douse the city and ministry in prayer. He provides a practical four-step framework for everyday evangelism—Be a Believer, Be a Blessing, Share the Gospel, and Establish the Gospel—urging believers to plant seeds, initiate spiritual conversations, and take the gospel into local third places like coffee shops, workplaces, and neighborhoods. --------------------------------------- 📖 Scripture References Matthew 5:13–16 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/MAT.5.13-16 Ephesians 4:11–12 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/EPH.4.11-12 Acts 1:8 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/ACT.1.8 --------------------------------------- 00:00 — What Comes to Mind When You Think of "Church"? 01:53 — Welcome Home Sunday & 7-Day Fasting Announcement 06:55 — The Church as the Body of Christ in the World 09:07 — Matthew 5: The Danger of a "Good For Nothing" Faith 14:09 — Missional Values: Mission Driven & Generous Living 19:06 — Corporate vs. Individual Impact: Cruise Ships vs. Aircraft Carriers 21:33 — Ephesians 4 & Acts 1: You Are the Strategy 27:14 — 4 Ways to Be & Bring the Gospel (Practical Evangelism) 29:48 — The Three Circles: Sharing the Gospel & Your Story 35:38 — Establishing the Gospel: Micro-Churches & Revival in Omaha 41:07 — Call to Action & Altar Prayer --------------------------------------- For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomaha We'd love to hear from you!

    GOOD NEWS Shoes // Pastor Ben Norvig

    👟🔥 "He doesn't say, 'How beautiful are the hands or the mouth.' He says, 'How beautiful are the feet.' Because your feet move, your hands follow, and your mouth speaks. He wants us to go show them Jesus." — Pastor Ben Norvig Guest speaker Pastor Ben Norvig (Next Gen Pastor at Love Church) delivers an urgent, energetic call to action focused on Romans 10:13–15. Sharing his personal journey—from losing his college baseball scholarship due to his lifestyle to suddenly losing his wife 11 years ago—Pastor Ben illustrates how God redeems our past and turns tragedy into a mission to "speak life and spread joy." Using the story of John Courier, a prisoner who served 10 unnecessary years because no one delivered his pardon letter, Ben challenges believers to put on "good news shoes." True gospel culture requires stepping out of our comfort zones, overcoming the fear of not having all the answers, and bringing the freedom of Jesus directly into our daily routines. -------------------------------------------- 📖Scripture References Romans 10 : 13–15 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/ROM.10.13-15 Genesis 1–3 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/GEN.1-3 John 6 : 53–56 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.6.53-56 Matthew 26 : 51–54 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/MAT.26.51-54 Matthew 28 : 19–20 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/MAT.28.19-20 -------------------------------------------- 00:00 — Introduction & Pastor Ben's Story 11:11 — Scripture Reading: Romans 10:13–15 12:40 — The Story of John Courier: Unclaimed Freedom 21:28 — The Gospel: The Descending Way of Jesus 32:09 — Putting On "Good News Shoes" 43:45 — Bringing Heaven to Earth & Call to Action -------------------------------------------- For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomaha We'd love to hear from you!

    LOVE: Inside Out // Value in Motion series (part 2) // Pastor Drew

    ❤️‍🔥 "To claim the love of Christ and to hate His church means you don't even have the love of Christ in you. The church is the bride of Christ—you cannot say, 'Jesus, I love You, but I hate Your people.'" — Pastor Drew What does it truly look like to move from empty words to "Love Inside Out"? In Part 2 of the Value in Motion series at Collective Church, Pastor Drew explores our relational values of People, People and Authentic Relationships. Drawing from Matthew 22, Galatians 6, and John 13, Pastor Drew reveals how biblical love requires an entirely different expression depending on whether we are loving those outside the church versus within the body of Christ. From practicing empathetic love toward non-believers to embracing sacrificial, selfless love and truth-filled correction with fellow believers, this message challenges us to let our love be louder than anything else we do. ------------------------------------------- 📖 Scripture References Matthew 22:36–40 - https://www.bible.com/bible/59/MAT.22.36-40.ESV Galatians 6:10 - https://www.bible.com/bible/59/GAL.6.10.ESV 1 John 3:16–18 - https://www.bible.com/bible/59/1JN.3.16-18.ESV Matthew 5:43–47 - https://www.bible.com/bible/59/MAT.5.43-47.ESV John 13:34–35 - https://www.bible.com/bible/59/JHN.13.34-35.ESV 1 Corinthians 5:12–13 - https://www.bible.com/bible/59/1CO.5.12-13.ESV Ephesians 4:14–15 - https://www.bible.com/bible/59/EPH.4.14-15.ESV Proverbs 27:6 - https://www.bible.com/bible/59/PRO.27.6.ESV --------------------------------------- 00:00 - Welcome & The Blessing of Portable Church 03:03 - Values in Motion: The "Cultivate" Direction 05:01 - The Greatest Commandment & Defining Biblical Love 08:08 - Core Value 1: People, People (Outside Love) 10:48 - Core Value 2: Authentic Relationships (Inside Love) 16:43 - Why God Wants You to Play Favorites with Love 19:18 - Outside vs. Inside Love Breakdown 22:11 - Empathetic Love vs. Selfless, Sacrificial Love 26:17 - Grace on the Outside, Speaking Truth in Love on the Inside 31:51 - Boundaries, Forgiveness, and Displaying Kindness 39:40 - Letting Your Love Be Louder 42:51 - Commitment, Activation, and Altar Prayer -------------------------------------------- For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomaha We'd love to hear from you!
