Forever, Amen

What if the reason you don’t see God moving… isn’t because He stopped showing up—but because you did? In “Forever, Amen”, Pastor Thomas-Steele wraps up the "As It Is In Heaven" series with a powerful Resurrection Sunday message centered on Luke 24. Through the empty tomb, we’re reminded of a life-changing truth: where we look determines what we see. Too often, we search for life in places that only lead to death—and wonder why we feel empty. But Jesus didn’t just promise resurrection… He called it—and completed it. This message will challenge you to: Show up consistently to God’s presence Refocus where you're looking for life and hope Remember what Jesus said—and live like it’s true Because our hope isn’t dead… our Savior is alive.

I Don't Got This

You ever been in a moment where your confidence said, “I got this”… but reality hit and you realized, “I don’t got this”? In this message, Pastor Thomas-Steele unpacks a hard truth: many of the situations we’re asking God to deliver us from… are the very ones we walked into by ignoring His direction. We want rescue without surrender. Freedom without obedience. Deliverance without discipleship. Walking through Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:13, this sermon reveals that God’s deliverance and God’s direction always go together. If we want Him to save us, we have to be willing to follow Him. This message will challenge you to confront what you’ve been holding onto, rethink how you approach prayer, and stop trying to fight spiritual battles with willpower alone. If you feel stuck in cycles you can’t break… if you’ve been crying out for help but resisting change… this one’s for you. Stop saying, “I got this.” Start surrendering to the One who does.

The Key to Life

Who’s really leading your life? In “The Key to Life,” we’re confronted with a simple but powerful truth: whatever we allow to lead us…becomes our lord. In a world full of voices—culture, cravings, and influencers—Jesus calls us to more than just hearing His words…He calls us to follow Him. Because the choice is clear: 👉 Follow your gut…and it leads to destruction 👉 Follow God…and He leads to life So the question is…where do you want to end up?

Enough is Enough

What do you do when someone keeps hurting you… again and again? How many times are you supposed to forgive before you finally say, “enough is enough”? In this powerful message, Pastor Thomas-Steele tackles one of the hardest teachings of Jesus—forgiveness. Walking through Matthew 6 and Matthew 18, this sermon confronts the tension we all feel: we desperately want grace… but we struggle to give it. Through relatable stories, honest questions, and the parable of the unmerciful servant, you’ll discover a challenging truth: 👉 The grace we desire is the grace we’re called to dispense. But this message doesn’t ignore the real pain people carry. You’ll also learn: What forgiveness is—and what it is not Why forgiving doesn’t mean what happened didn’t matter How unforgiveness keeps you stuck, while forgiveness sets you free Why Jesus is the key to forgiving what feels impossible If you’ve ever wrestled with letting go, holding on, or wondering where the line is… this message is for you. Because at the end of the day, the question isn’t just “When is enough enough?” It’s whether what Jesus did for you… is truly enough.

Battle of Wills

Have you ever felt frustrated with prayer because it didn’t “work”? In “A Battle of Wills”, Pastor Thomas-Steele challenges one of the biggest misunderstandings we have about prayer. What if the reason we’re discouraged isn’t because prayer is ineffective… but because we’ve been using it for a purpose it was never intended for? Continuing our series through the Lord’s Prayer, this message dives into Jesus’ words: “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Prayer isn’t about getting God to advance our will. It’s about surrendering to His. This message will gently reframe your perspective and remind you that our greatest struggle in prayer isn’t getting God to provide — it’s learning to surrender. This isn’t just a teaching on prayer. It’s an invitation to lay down your will and trust the King.

Remember Who You're Talking To

Have you ever rushed into prayer with a list of worries, needs, and questions — and forgotten one of the most important parts of prayer? In this message, “Remember Who You’re Talking To,” Pastor Thomas-Steele walks through Jesus’ words in the Lord’s Prayer, “Hallowed be Your name,” and shows how beginning with praise changes everything. You’ll be encouraged to slow down, shift your focus from your problems to God’s power, and rediscover the peace that comes from honoring Him first in prayer. In this sermon, you’ll learn: • What it truly means to “hallow” God’s name • Why praise belongs at the start of every prayer • How worship reshapes your perspective • How remembering God’s faithfulness brings peace today Whether prayer feels natural or difficult for you right now, this message will meet you where you are and help deepen your relationship with God.

Right...From the Start

In this message, Pastor Thomas-Steele teaches that the way we view prayer determines the way we do prayer. Before Jesus ever tells us what to ask for, He reshapes our perspective with four powerful words: “Our Father in heaven…” (Matthew 6:9) With these four opening words, Jesus teaches us that prayer begins with remembering: • Prayer is about “we,” not just “me.” • God is paternal — close, caring, and personal. • God is powerful — sovereign, reigning, and able. When we start with the right view of God — intimate Father and reigning King — peace follows. This message will help you reset your outlook, deepen your prayer life, and experience what Jesus meant when He taught us how to pray.

Say Less

Do you ever run on spiritual autopilot — saying prayers without really thinking about them? In “Say Less”, Pastor Thomas-Steele challenges the way many of us approach prayer, exposing how repetition can quietly replace relationship. Drawing from Jesus’ words in Matthew 6, this message reveals why prayer isn’t about word count, formulas, or trying to get God to do what we want — it’s about trusting a loving Father who already knows what we need. You’ll discover: • Why thoughtless repetition misses the heart of prayer • How prayer is meant to be relational, not transactional • What it looks like to move from striving to trusting God • Why sometimes the most powerful prayers are the simplest ones If you’ve ever felt stuck in routine prayers or wondered why prayer feels dry, this message will reset your perspective and draw you back into genuine connection with God. 👉 Watch now and learn why following Jesus sometimes means praying more — by saying less.
