    When Spiritual Beings Crossed The Line | The Unseen Realm | Pastor Alex Pappas

    What happens when the unseen realm crosses into the natural world? Genesis 6 opens the door to one of the most mysterious passages in Scripture: the sons of God, the daughters of men, and the Nephilim. But instead of turning to theories, speculation, or popular ideas, there is one place we can turn for answers: Scripture. The Bible gives us patterns. From Job to Genesis, Jude to 2 Peter, Scripture reveals that there is far more happening in the unseen realm than we can see with our natural eyes. God established order, authority, and boundaries in the spiritual realm. But Scripture tells us that some spiritual beings rebelled against those boundaries, refusing to remain in their proper domain. Genesis 6 reveals the devastating result of that rebellion. And this is where the story becomes even more powerful. When Jesus died and rose again, He was seated at the right hand of the Father, far above every ruler, authority, power, and spiritual force. And Scripture says that we have been raised and seated with Him in Christ. We are not fighting for victory. Jesus has already won. But that does not mean we do nothing. We have been given authority in Christ, and we are called to stand, remain faithful, and engage in the spiritual battle around us. As we begin to understand the unseen realm, we begin to see something even greater: just how far above everything Jesus truly is. The deeper we go, the more we discover that the story is not ultimately about fallen angels, giants, or the darkness. It is about Jesus. He is far above. Watch the full message and discover what Scripture reveals about the unseen realm, the rebellion of spiritual beings, the boundaries God established, and the authority we have in Christ.

    Stop Drinking From Broken Cisterns | Feast of Tabernacles | Pastor Alex Pappas

    What if the reason you still feel empty is because you’re drinking from the wrong source? You can love God, serve in church, worship, stay busy, and still find yourself spiritually dry. You can experience moments of God’s presence and still wonder why the thirst inside you hasn’t gone away. Jesus spoke directly to that kind of thirst. “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.” In this message, you’ll be challenged to look at what you’re using to satisfy your soul. Relationships, success, possessions, accomplishments, busyness, and even religious activity can never provide what only God can give. The Bible describes these substitutes as broken cisterns. They may look like sources of satisfaction, but they cannot hold what your soul is truly searching for. If you’ve been feeling spiritually dry, disconnected, tired, or hungry for something deeper, this message is for you. God isn’t asking you to manufacture your own satisfaction. He is inviting you to come to Him. His presence is the source. His Spirit is the living water. And what He puts inside you is meant to flow through you. Stop drinking from broken cisterns. Come back to the Fountain of Living Water. If this message speaks to where you are, don’t just listen and move on. Take a moment to respond to God. Bring Him your thirst, your emptiness, your disappointment, and your hunger for more of Him. Come to Him. Drink. And let the river flow.

    Do Not Forget The Lord | Feast of Tabernacles: Morning Session | Pastor Alex Pappas

    The Feast of Tabernacles was a time for God’s people to remember His faithfulness, celebrate His provision, and gather in His presence. In this message, we look at the significance of the Feast of Tabernacles and what it can teach us today: the power of repentance, the possibility of new beginnings and miracles, the importance of remembering what God has done, and the call to continually pursue His presence. God sustained His people through the wilderness, and He is still faithful to sustain us through every season. Whatever wilderness you may be walking through, God is able to make a way, bring refreshing, and lead you into something new. Above all, the Feast reminds us to return to what matters most: His presence. In Christ, the veil has been torn and we have access to the presence of God. Let’s not forget to go after Him. Scriptures: Deuteronomy 16:16 Leviticus 20:2 Jeremiah 31:35–37 Leviticus 23:42–43 Revelation 2:1–5 Isaiah 43:19 Joshua 3:5 Deuteronomy 8:2 1 Corinthians 1:8–9 Zechariah 14:16 2 Timothy 4:8 1 Kings 8:1–11

    Rebellion in The Unseen Realm (Part 4) | Pastor Alex Pappas

    Where does rebellion come from? Where does evil originate? In Part 4 of The Unseen Realm, Pastor Alex takes us back to the very beginning and uncovers how rebellion in the unseen realm impacts everything in the seen realm. God established order, authority, and purpose from the beginning. But in the garden, the serpent questioned God’s Word, contradicted His truth, and led humanity into rebellion. What began with pride and the rejection of God’s rightful authority resulted in shame, fear, hiding, and separation from God. But the story doesn’t end there. God had already established a plan of restoration. Through Jesus, what was broken is restored. He is the way, the truth, and the life, the only way back into fellowship with God. Genesis 1:1 Genesis 1:26-28 Genesis 1:31 Genesis 3:1-8 Genesis 3:23-24 Psalm 115:16 Isaiah 14:12-14 John 8:44 John 12:31 John 14:6 Romans 5:12 2 Corinthians 4:4 Ephesians 2:2 1 Timothy 3:6 Colossians 1:16 Revelation 12:9

    Unbroken | Pastor William Izquierdo

    What is your foundation? The storm doesn’t determine whether we stand, the foundation does. In Matthew 7, Jesus tells of two houses, two builders, and one storm. The storm came against both. The difference was what they were built upon. Being unbroken doesn’t mean we’ll never be wounded, hurt, or face trouble. It means that when the storm passes, we’re still standing because our foundation is Jesus. We may have scars and wounds, but they can become reminders of God’s faithfulness and testimonies of what He has brought us through. The enemy may knock us down, but when Jesus is our Rock, we can rebuild again. Jesus is the One who remains unshaken. He is still on the throne. When everything else is shaken, He is still standing. Come back to the Rock, the Rock of Ages. Build your life on Jesus, stand on His Word, and when the storm is over, you’ll still be standing. Colossians 2:10 Matthew 7:24–27 James 1:22 Psalm 62:6 2 Corinthians 4:8–9 John 19:33 Psalm 34:20 Isaiah 53:5 Proverbs 10:25 1 Corinthians 3:11

    The Unseen Realm: Far Above (Part 3) | Pastor Alex Pappas

    Pastor Alex continues in his series, The Unseen Realm. What happens when we truly understand where Jesus is seated? He is far above! There is one throne in the unseen realm, and there is only One who sits upon it. God is not competing with Satan for authority. Satan is not God's equal. Principalities, powers, kingdoms, and every spiritual force were created by Him and for Him. He is the supreme authority. When Jesus walked the earth, the natural world often failed to recognize who He was—but the unseen realm knew exactly who stood before them. Demons recognized Him. They knew His authority. They knew His identity. And when He spoke, there was no negotiation. Jesus came, died, rose again, and was seated far above every principality, power, throne, and authority. And here's the part we cannot miss: We are seated with Him. Know who your King is. Know where He is seated. And know where you are seated in Christ. He is far above. And because we are in Him, we don't have to live beneath what Jesus has already conquered. Revelation 4:1-2 Colossians 1:15-17 John 1:1-2 Ephesians 1:20-22 1 Peter 3:22 Mark 1:23-27 Luke 4:40-41 Matthew 8:28-29 Luke 10:17-20 Acts 2:24 Revelation 1:17-18 Matthew 28:18-20 Ephesians 2:4-6

    The Unseen Realm: Heavenly Places | Pastor Alex Pappas

    What are heavenly places? Who lives there? What happens there and why is it important to us? Pastor Alex is back with part two of his series, The Spiritual Realm. The Bible reveals that the heavenly places are more than an unseen realm, they are where spiritual blessings are found, where Jesus is seated, and most importantly, where God's throne resides. Join us for part two and unpack the most important part of The Unseen Realm. Ephesians 1:3 Ephesians 1:19-21 Ephesians 2:4-6 Ephesians 3:10-11 Ephesians 6:11-12 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 Hebrews 8:1-5 Hebrews 4:14-16 Hebrews 12:22-24 Revelation 4:1-3 Revelation 4:6-8

    The Unseen Realm: Part 1 | Pastor Alex Pappas

    This week, Pastor Alex is back with a powerful new series: The Unseen Realm. The Bible makes it clear that there is more happening around us than what we can see with our natural eyes. There is an unseen realm, and as believers, we are called to understand it, recognize the spiritual battle around us, and walk according to the word of God. In this message, Pastor Alex unpacks what Scripture teaches about the unseen realm, the spiritual realities at work around us, and what it means to live by faith rather than simply by what we see. We are not called to be unaware. We are called to know the Word, discern what is happening in the spirit, and live according to God’s word! Genesis 1:1 John 4:24 Hebrews 11:3 2 Corinthians 4:18 Genesis 6:6 2 Kings 6:13-18 2 Corinthians 5:7 Ephesians 6:12 Ephesians 2:2 1 John 5:19 Ephesians 1:20-21 Ephesians 2:4-6
