    Fasting - When Prayer Alone Isn’t Enough

    Why does Jesus say that some things only happen through prayer and fasting? Fasting is one of the most powerful—and most misunderstood—spiritual disciplines in Christianity, yet it’s rarely taught in depth. In this teaching, we walk carefully through Scripture to answer questions like: Why did Jesus say “when you fast,” not “if you fast”? What did Jesus really mean by “this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting”? Is fasting about demons… or unbelief? Why did fasting precede major breakthroughs in the early church? How does fasting affect faith, unbelief, calling, and spiritual power? What is biblical fasting, and what is it not? How should someone practically prepare for and walk through a fast? Using passages from Matthew 6, Matthew 17, Luke 5, Acts 10, Acts 13, Acts 14, 1 Corinthians 7, and more, this message shows how fasting: Drives out unbelief Aligns the soul under the Spirit Releases clarity, calling, and direction Positions believers for breakthrough and fruit This teaching also includes very practical guidance for anyone considering a fast —whether one day or several weeks— including mental, physical, and spiritual preparation. If you’ve ever wondered why fasting matters, or felt stirred to fast but didn’t understand the purpose or process, this message is for you. “Your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” — Matthew 6:18

    The Love of God

    Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so! Go deeper in your understanding of God's love for you. Knowing and believing His love for you is the source of your towards Him, as well as to others. We love Him because He first loved us.

    God's Promise of the Holy Spirit

    In today’s teaching, we dive deep into what Jesus called “the promise of the Father”—the baptism with the Holy Spirit and the power that comes upon believers (Acts 1:4–8). If you’ve ever wondered why the early church walked in miracles, boldness, signs, wonders, and supernatural power—and why so many Christians today don’t—this message walks straight through Scripture to show you exactly what Jesus intended for His followers. Being born again means the Holy Spirit lives in you. But being baptized with the Holy Spirit means He comes upon you with power. And that power is for: Preaching the gospel with effectivenessHealing the sickBreaking oppressionSetting captives freeSeeing miraclesLiving the life Jesus promised in John 14:12We walk through: Ephesians 1 & 3 – What Paul prayed believers would understandActs 10:38 – Jesus anointed with the Spirit and with powerMatthew 9 & 10 – Jesus imparting power to the 12 and then the 70Luke 4:18 – Why Jesus was anointed and what He was anointed to doActs 2, 8, 10, and 19 – Clear biblical examples of believers receiving the Spirit after salvationJohn 14 & 16 – Why Jesus had to go so the Spirit could comeThe difference between the Spirit in you (salvation) and the Spirit upon you (power)How believers today can receive the baptism with the Holy SpiritA closing prayer for fresh anointing, boldness, and empowermentIf you’ve never been baptized with the Holy Spirit—or if you need a fresh filling—this message is for you.  And if this topic is new or feels foreign, buckle up… we go straight into the Word of God and let Scripture speak for itself.

    The FULL Gospel

    It's not that there's "the gospel" verses "the full gospel", but in many instances the gospel has been neutered, removing the power that God requires for it to be sent with. The gospel must be preached in word AND deed, deed being "in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God" (Romans 15:19). The kingdom of God is not in word (or you could say "not only in word"), but in power (1 Corinthians 4:20). Let's take a look at the scriptures and let Holy Spirit open our eyes to the FULL gospel, which is actually "the gospel".

    Praying and Singing in Tongues - 1 Corinthians 14

    Diverse kinds of tongues, with interpretation, is for the edification of the body. But praying and singing in tongues, also known as "in the spirit", is for individual edification as well as other benefits. We'll see this in the scripture today.

    Marriage - 1 Corinthians 7

    Marriage is a gift from God. "He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord". However, chapters like 1 Corinthians 7 can make marriage sound like it's subpar to singleness. So what gives? Let's dive into that together today!
