    That Was God

    Have you ever looked back at a moment in your life and thought, "That was God's Hand"? What if God is doing something right now — in your everyday circumstances, your detours, your unexpected opportunities — and you're missing it? In this message from Acts 10, we explore the fascinating story of Cornelius and Simon Peter to uncover what it looks like when the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are actively working behind the scenes of your life. You'll discover how God was orchestrating every detail — from a Roman centurion's vision on a rooftop in Joppa — so that an entire household would receive the Holy Spirit. This story is not just ancient history. It's a living picture of how God still moves today, using ordinary people who are willing to listen and obey, even when they don't have all the pieces of the puzzle. In this episode, we'll walk through the power of following God step by step, trusting that His will is being worked out even when we can't see the full picture. We'll talk about what it means to be attuned to the Holy Spirit, how to recognize the things God is setting up in your life, and why obedience — even in uncertainty — is the key to experiencing His kingdom move. Whether you've been walking with God for decades or you're just beginning to explore what following God really looks like, this message will encourage you to pay attention to what the Holy Spirit is doing around you right now. God's will is always in motion, and He's inviting you into it. Don't miss this one — it just might change the way you see everything happening in your life today.

    Are You Seeing What's Happening?

    Are you truly seeing the things of God in a world that feels like it's on fire? In this powerful message, we explore the tension between the chaos around us and the goodness of God that's available right now, in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13 declares, "I am certain I will see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living," and this verse becomes our anchor for understanding how to maintain faith when everything seems uncertain. You'll discover why keeping your eyes on the things of God—rather than the things of this world—is the key to experiencing His blessings today, not just in eternity. We'll examine what it means to truly see with both physical and spiritual eyes, and why so many people miss the goodness of God that's right in front of them. Whether you're walking through a good season or facing the struggle of your life, this message will challenge you to adjust the way you see and hold the tension between acknowledging real chaos and embracing God's kindness. Join us as we unpack how faith, staying connected to the things of God, and walking in the leading of the Holy Spirit can transform your perspective and your life.

    Saying No to God

    Are you living like you don't need God? Many people today believe they can do it all myself, thinking they don't need religion or any higher power to guide their lives. But what happens when we keep saying no to God and try to do what you want without His direction? In this powerful message, we explore the consequences of rejecting God's ways through the shocking story of the Philistines who captured the Ark of the Covenant and faced God's judgment. Discover how their god Dagon couldn't stand before the one true God, and learn from the demon possessed man in Mark 5 who experienced complete transformation when he finally said yes to Jesus. This message will challenge you to examine your daily choices and understand that every decision to say yes to God leads to purpose, peace, hope, and eternal life. Whether you think you don't need God or you're struggling with surrender, this teaching reveals why saying yes to the Lord is always the best decision you can make.

    Hit with the Heavy Weights

    Are you carrying around burdens that feel too heavy to bear? That weight of work, family, health, finances, and countless other pressures can leave you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. In this powerful message, Pastor Todd explores Matthew 11:25-30 and reveals how Jesus can take away your burdens and replace them with something far lighter. You'll discover the beautiful truth that Jesus's yoke is easy and His burden is light—not because life becomes problem-free, but because you're no longer carrying the weight alone. Learn the practical steps to finding true rest for your soul. If you've been asking "how do I deal with my burdens?" this message offers real answers rooted in Scripture. Stop struggling under the weight of too many burdens and experience the freedom that comes when you finally let Jesus carry what was never meant for you to hold.

    Deception in the Last Days

    Are you paying attention to the signs of the times? In this powerful message, we dive deep into Matthew 24 and explore what Jesus specifically warned His disciples about deception in the last days.  With Bible prophecy comprising nearly one-third of Scripture, understanding these end times warnings has never been more critical for believers today. You'll discover why Jesus mentioned deception four times in a single chapter and how the patterns of biblical prophecy connect ancient warnings to our modern world.  We examine the story of the false prophet Hananiah in Jeremiah 28 and see how the same tactics of deception that led God's people astray centuries ago are still at work today. From AI-generated fake images to false teachers in pulpits, the tools of deception have become more sophisticated than ever before.  Learn the one powerful protection God has given us against being led astray and why staying rooted in Scripture is essential for navigating these last days with wisdom and discernment.

    Prayer is Simple and Prayer is Hard

    Do you want to develop a strong prayer life that actually moves the heart of God? In this powerful message, we explore why prayer is both the simplest and most challenging spiritual discipline you can practice. You will discover what the disciples saw in Jesus that made them ask Him to teach them to pray, and why that same approach can transform your relationship with God. We dive into the biblical truth that who you are matters in prayer, examining how Elijah—a man with a nature just like ours—prayed and saw impossible things happen. Learn practical steps for building consistency in your prayer time, including how to find a dedicated place, honor your commitment, and truly listen for God’s voice. Whether you need to start a prayer life from scratch, revamp one that has grown stale, or take your prayer to the next level, this message will equip you to pray like Jesus and experience the powerful results that come from faith-filled, persistent communication with the Father.

    Why Letting Go is the First Step in Walking in Purpose

    Are you fighting God instead of trusting Him with your future? In this powerful message, Pastor Todd shares the unforgettable image of a mama raccoon clinging to a telephone pole during a flood, refusing to jump into the rescue boat that could save her and her babies. That raccoon had a choice to make, and so do we. When we hold on to what feels familiar and controllable, we often miss the life God has waiting for us. Through the stories of Jonah and Paul, two men who learned the hard way what happens when you keep fighting God, you'll discover why letting go is actually the first step toward discovering your true purpose. Jonah ran from God and ended up in the belly of a sea monster. Paul was so determined to do things his way that Jesus had to knock him off his horse and blind him for three days. Both men went to extremes with God before they finally surrendered, and their lives were transformed in ways they never could have imagined. God's plan for your life is always better than your own, and His purpose for your life goes beyond anything you could dream up. This message will challenge you to stop fighting for control and start trusting the One who sees the bigger picture.

    Are You Really Blessed?

    Have you ever wondered if you're truly blessed, or if you've been thinking about blessings all wrong? In this powerful message, Pastor Todd takes us on a deep dive into what it really means to be blessed, exploring three different biblical words for blessing: barak, eulogeō, and makarios. You'll discover that blessings go far beyond material possessions and financial prosperity, reaching into a spiritual reality that changes everything about how you live today.  This teaching unpacks the Hebrew understanding of blessing as a provision of power from the King of Kings, while revealing how the Greek word makarios describes a state of being that belongs to you right now, not just in the future. Whether you're walking through mourning, persecution, or everyday struggles, you'll learn why you are already living in the fullness of God's blessing as an heir to His kingdom.  This message will shift your perspective from a worldly view of blessing to a kingdom perspective that brings peace even in the midst of pain and stress. If you've ever felt like blessings were just about money in the bank or things going your way, prepare to have your understanding transformed.
