    Designed for His Presence | Holy Spirit Fire Conference Session 1 | Pastor Alex Pappas

    For our first Holy Spirit Fire Conference sessions, Pastor Alex reminded us that we are designed for the presence of God. We were created to be in God's presence. Once man fell and were removed from God's presence, we began to die. Knowledge alone doesn't transform us, encountering Him does. The people in the Bible knew the laws, heard about Jesus' teachings, but once they sat with Him, they were changed. Many people come to church to hear something, when God is inviting us to experience Him. We thrive in HIs presence. That's where everything comes alive. God will meet with those who pursue His presence. The question is, do you desire it? Scriptures: John 4:27-41 Matthew 4:4 Luke 10:38-42 John 14:21 Mark 16:14 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 2 Corinthians 3:15-18 Exodus 33:13-14 Isaiah 26:3

    The Books of God | Pastor Alex Pappas

    This morning, Pastor Alex shared with us that God isn’t careless or forgetful, He keeps records of our lives in books. Scripture shows us that heaven records lives, choices, victories, faith, and even tears. God has a book written about your life, revealing that you were intentionally created with purpose and a divine plan. You were never a mistake. This is why how we live matters. Not just on Sundays, but every day. God is loving, merciful, and compassionate, but He is also holy. No matter the accusations of the enemy, what matters most is this: is your name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life? Scriptures Referenced Daniel 7:10 Revelation 20:12 Revelation 3:5 Revelation 21:27 Psalm 139:14–18 Jeremiah 29:11 Malachi 3:16 Acts 10:1–5 Hebrews 6:10 Numbers 21:14–17 Exodus 17:8–16 Psalm 56:8

    He Will Finish What He Starts | Pastor Alex Pappas

    Pastor Alex shared this message that he desires us to remember. Be confident in this one thing: God is faithful, and He will finish what He started in you. Nothing about your life, where you are, what you’ve faced, or what you’re still struggling with, has taken Him by surprise. He called you, saved you, and delivered you for a purpose.Like Israel and Gideon, we can forget what God has already done for us when things get difficult. But, God continually draws us back to Himself, reminding us that He is our deliverer, healer, and our provider. Even when we feel hidden, weak, or insignificant, God sees us differently. He fulfills His plans not because of our strength, but because of His.Today, the Word of the Lord is this: be fully confident that He will complete the work He began in you. Regardless of how you feel right now, God is still busy with your life. There is only one requirement: respond. Lay your life before Him, surrender your heart, and come back to the altar. He’s not finished yet.   Scriptures Referenced: Philippians 1:3–7 Judges 6:1–27

    Living as an Overcomer | Pastor Davidson

    Pastor Davidson reminded us that God has called us to live as a spiritual people, walking in the Spirit so we can overcome the world. Through an everyday relationship with Him, we gain strength, power, and a deeper understanding of who we are and whose we are. Following Jesus is a daily choice, denying ourselves, picking up our cross, and fully surrendering to God’s will. One powerful way to do this is through fasting, which helps us overcome the flesh and become more sensitive to the Holy Spirit. When the Spirit leads, breakthrough follows. As the Church, we are entering a season that requires full surrender. Prayer and fasting stir our spiritual senses and prepare us for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God moves in a praying, seeking, hungry church. Let us pursue Him with humility, expectation, and faith, trusting that He will speak and move in powerful ways as we prepare ourselves and our hearts for the Daniel Fast. Scriptures Referenced 1 John 4:4 Revelation 1:10 Revelation 3:21 Romans 8:13–17 Matthew 9:14–15 John 6:63–66 Acts 1:8 2 Corinthians 11:27 Psalm 35:13 Acts 10:30–31 Luke 2:37 Acts 13:1–3 John 4:31–34 Matthew 17:21 Ephesians 6:12

    God’s Warning, God’s Invitation | Pastor Alex Pappas

    The first message of the year matters. It sets the tone for everything ahead. Pastor Alex highlighted the importance of this message as we enter into the new year. In Revelation 3:14–22, Jesus speaks to the church of Laodicea with both warning and deep compassion. This wasn’t a church in obvious sin, it was a church that had become lukewarm. Self-sufficient. Comfortable. Looking just like the world. Laodicea sat between Hierapolis, known for healing hot springs, and Colossae, known for refreshing cold water. But Laodicea’s water was lukewarm. It was good for nothing. Jesus used what they understood to show them their spiritual condition. The western church faces the same danger today. Prosperity can lead to complacency. Success can lead to self-reliance. And when we lose intimacy with Jesus, we lose our authority, our boldness, and our impact. Yet this letter is rooted in love. He’s standing at the door, knocking, calling us back to intimacy. As we step into this year, may we refuse lukewarm Christianity. May we be refreshing and healing to those who come to us. Scriptures: Revelation 3:14–22 Colossians 4:13–16 Matthew 5:13–16 Revelation 3:15–16 Revelation 3:17 Revelation 3:18 Revelation 3:19 Revelation 3:20 Revelation 3:21 Revelation 2:7

    Breakthrough Starts with Praise | Pastor Alex Pappas

    Pastor Alex showed us how we finish this year matters.One of the greatest weapons God has given us is praise. Not passive praise, but praise that rises from the depths of our hearts. The Bible calls it a garment because praise doesn’t just lift us emotionally, it covers us, protects us, and repels the spirit of heaviness.Heaviness can come suddenly, through family situations, finances, fear, or despair. But, God has provided an immediate solution. When we choose praise, God’s authority is released. Scripture shows us that when praise goes up, it establishes heaven’s rule in the room. It shifts atmospheres, silences the enemy, and invites God to fight battles we were never meant to fight ourselves. This is why breakthrough so often follows worship, because the battle belongs to the Lord.As we close this year, we are reminded: it’s not too late to praise Him. Not when everything feels good, but at all times. When we respond to God’s Word, He responds with His power.Finish strong. Finish praising. The garment of praise still breaks the spirit of heaviness. Scriptures referenced:  Isaiah 61:3  Psalm 22:1–4  2 Chronicles 20:1–3, 15–23  2 Chronicles 5:11–14  Psalm 34:1
