    The Ascended Lifestyle

    In this installment, Pastor Kevin Diggs preaches a teaching titled "The Ascended Lifestyle." Drawing from the late-night encounter between Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3:1–17, he bridges the gap between natural religious intellect and supernatural kingdom reality. Pastor Kevin demonstrates that Nicodemus’s core issue was not a lack of theological study, but broken spiritual eyesight resulting from an unsurrendered heart and an earthbound location. Contrasting superficial knowledge with deep, experiential intimacy (ginosko and oida), this message challenges believers to stop settling for intellectual checklists, abandon dead religious routines, and live from the heavenly throne room seated with Christ. Key Discussion Points: Eyesight, Location, and Identity: Why an unsurrendered life cannot perceive or enter the kingdom of God. Beyond Head Knowledge: Contrasting academic understanding with the relational, experiential knowing of Jesus Christ. Living from Ascension: How Jesus modeled living on earth from a heavenly perspective, opening the door for believers to sit in high places above worldly sickness and oppression. Signs and Wonders Restored: Why believers should chase God's presence and embrace the miraculous until signs and wonders actively follow them.

    Fellowship with the Mystery

    In this powerful service, Pastor Kevin Diggs unpacks the inexhaustible depths of God’s glory through Ephesians 3 and 4. Challenging the modern church’s tendency to treat salvation merely as an escape from eternal damnation, Pastor Kevin reveals that we were saved into a living, ongoing partnership (koinonia) with the mystery of Christ. He examines the Greek concept of Polypoikilos—the multifaceted, richly varied manifold wisdom of God—and explains how God uses the five-fold ministry to equip the saints and display His authority over principalities and powers in heavenly places. Drawing from the story of Mary and Martha, John 17, and Revelation 19, this message calls believers to stop relying on intellectual striving, rest at the feet of Jesus, and let the Holy Spirit strengthen their inner man so Christ can be fully manifested through a surrendered life. Key Discussion Points: The Unsearchable Riches of Christ: Exploring Ephesians 3:8–9 to realize that God’s lavish riches and glory have no bottom and no end. Koinonia in the Mystery: Why the revelation of Christ does not stop at salvation, but invites believers into an active, ongoing participation in what God is doing right now. The Manifold Wisdom Displayed: Unpacking Polypoikilos and the five-fold ministry (Ephesians 4:11–13) as God’s blueprint to manifest His power and authority to spiritual rulers and authorities. Resting Before Doing: Looking at Mary and Martha to understand why we must linger at the feet of the Word before we can ever become effective doers of the Word. The Testimony of Jesus as Prophecy: Discovering through Revelation 19:10 that every past work and healing of Christ is a prophetic promise that He desires to do it again and again through a surrendered people.

    A Call to Intersession

    In this service, Pastor Carla Diggs sets aside twenty-two pages of prepared notes to yield to a divine shift: bringing "a Thursday on a Sunday." She leads the church directly into the prayer room of Ephesians 1, calling believers out of passive religion and into deep, Spirit-led intercession for the lost, broken, and bound. Pastor Carla reminds the church that every believer in Christ is marked and sealed with the Holy Spirit—an identity recognized across both heaven and hell. Touching on the sevenfold Spirit of God in Isaiah 11 and the authority of Jesus seated far above all rule and dominion, this message challenges believers to stop falling for the enemy’s stale lies, keep their lamps filled to overflowing with fresh oil, and boldly speak God's Word in unity. Key Discussion Points: A Thursday on a Sunday: Responding to the Holy Spirit’s prompting to replace human agendas with extended altar ministry and travailing prayer. The Living Weapon: Wielding the Scripture as a double-edged (two-mouthed) sword that cuts through strongholds when our mouths align with God's Word. Marked and Sealed: Understanding that the seal of the Holy Spirit guarantees our inheritance and establishes our spiritual authority over all darkness. Lamps Overflowing with Oil: Examining the sevenfold Spirit of God (Isaiah 11) and refusing to let our wicks run dry, so the eyes of our hearts remain enlightened in spiritual warfare.

    From Conformed to Transformed

    In this installment, Pastor Kevin Diggs unpacks Romans 12:1–2 through the lens of the Apostle Peter’s spiritual journey in Matthew 16. Contrasting the trap of mere "behavior modification Christianity" with deep, Holy Spirit-led renewal, this teaching calls believers to abandon self-effort and surrender fully to the cross. Pastor Kevin illustrates how Peter shifted from spiritual revelation ("You are the Christ") to fleshly conformity (rebuking Jesus' mission), exposing how the enemy targets and exploits an unconformed mind. Walking through Romans 8, he reveals that our sinful nature was reconciled and left at the cross, empowering believers to rise into a lifestyle of daily surrender, restored identity, and unstoppable authority. Key Discussion Points: The Rock of Transformation: Why the church is built not on Peter's human strength, but on the rock of divine revelation that produces true transformation. Exposing Behavior Modification: Warning against self-help checklists that masquerade as godliness while leaving believers dry and vulnerable. The Playground of the Enemy: How unrenewed, human thinking becomes an open door for demonic opposition and distorted views of God. Leaving the Old Behind: Understanding Romans 8 to walk on the other side of reconciliation, putting off the mortal deeds of the flesh and operating as true sons and daughters of God.

    Transformation into a Kingdom Reality

    In this message, Pastor Kevin Diggs delivers a teaching titled "Transformation into a Kingdom Reality." Connecting the progressive waters of Ezekiel 47 with the call to be transformed by the renewing of our minds in Romans 12:1–3, he challenges the church to refuse spiritual stagnation. Pastor Kevin demonstrates that salvation is merely the initial "ankle-deep" entry point into the river of God, rather than the final destination. Moving beyond religious routines, he examines the Greek roots of Hamartia (falling short), Metanoia (repentance through a changed mind), and Anakainosis (renewal), illustrating how daily surrender to the Holy Spirit moves believers into deep waters where life, healing, and Christlike character flow unhindered. Key Discussion Points: Ezekiel’s Picture vs. Paul’s Process: How the river's progression from ankle-deep to swimming depth mirrors our deepening surrender and mental renewal. Beyond Ankle-Deep Salvation: Why the Gospel is not merely being saved from wrath, but being saved into an active, intimate kingdom purpose. The Cycle of Renewal: Unpacking Hamartia, Metanoia, and Anakainosis to show that ongoing repentance and Spirit-led thinking produce true metamorphosis. The Mind of Christ as Heritage: Standing on Psalm 119:111 and Philippians 3 to press past past knowledge, reject stagnant complacency, and inherit Christ's perspective.

    Onward

    In this message, Pastor Howard Walden shares a spirit-led teaching titled "Onward". Drawing from Romans 8:1–2 and Jeremiah 33:1–3, he reminds the church of the foundational truth that there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, because the law of the Spirit of life has set us free from the law of sin and death. Pastor Howard outlines three critical callings from the Lord: how Jesus is capturing the hearts of believers for "more," why we must stop interpersonal warring to enter the victory of surrender (anapauo), and how Christ is already our victory before we can see it. Closing with the promise of Jeremiah 33:3, this episode encourages believers facing impossible circumstances to call upon God and receive supernatural wisdom that exceeds natural human understanding. Key Discussion Points: No Condemnation: Exploring Romans 8:1–2 and 1 John 1:9 to understand the great divine exchange where Christ took our sin and gave us His sinlessness. Captured for More: Why Jesus is not only saving the lost but actively capturing the hearts of believers to walk in the supernatural. The Victory of Surrender: Ceasing internal and interpersonal warfare by taking a spiritual pause (anapauo) and stepping into Christ's rest. Things You Do Not Know: How God answers our cries (qara) by revealing divine solutions that go far beyond natural human intellect.

    The Sacrifice that Becomes a River

    In this dynamic message from the "Church of Acts: Returning to Power and Presence" series, Pastor Kevin connects the prophetic vision of the temple river in Ezekiel 47 with the call to wholehearted surrender in Romans 12:1–21. He reveals that becoming a living channel of God's power requires moving beyond casual church attendance into complete, daily surrender. Walking through the theological progression of Romans, Pastor Kevin contrasts human behavioral modification with true spiritual transformation (metanoia). He demonstrates that when we present our bodies as living sacrifices—yielding our choices, desires, and appetites to the Holy Spirit—our surrendered lives become the very conduits through which rivers of living water bring healing, fruitfulness, and resurrection to everything around us. Key Discussion Points: The River and the Altar: Connecting Ezekiel 47 and Romans 12 to show how yielding control moves us from ankle-deep religion into the deep, life-giving flow of the Spirit. Sacrifice vs. Surrender: Learning from Cain, Abel, and Ananias and Sapphira that God is not looking for a partial religious tip, but a fully surrendered heart. Conformity vs. Transformation: Why self-effort and behavioral checklists fail, and how the Holy Spirit alone renews our minds to win the battlefield within. Life Follows the Flow: Discovering that when believers live as daily sacrifices, living waters flow through them to bring healing and equip them to become active fishers of men.

    Living Wells: When the Enemy Tries to Stop the Flow

    In this powerful installment of the "Church of Acts: Returning to Power and Presence" series, Pastor Kevin delivers a message titled "Living Wells: When the Enemy Tries to Stop the Flow." Drawing from the life of Isaac in Genesis 26:12–25 and the prophetic temple vision of Ezekiel 47, he unpacks how believers are designed to be living temples from which rivers of living water flow. Pastor Kevin reveals that when spiritual opposition strikes, the enemy is not attacking you—he is attacking the source to contest kingdom territory and stop the fulfillment of God's promise. Walking through Isaac’s journey of reopening Abraham's buried wells, contending with argumentative shepherds at Esek and Sitnah, and finally finding spacious room at Rehoboth, this sermon challenges us to refuse the traps of hostility, avoid settling for mere comfort, and keep digging deeper into the presence of God. Key Discussion Points: You Are the Temple: Connecting Genesis 26, Ezekiel 47, and John 4 & 7 to show that we are the living wells called to release God's presence wherever we go. Attacking the Source: Understanding that when the enemy brings opposition in times of famine, he is attempting to choke the flow of life connected to your inheritance. Leaving the Wells of Strife: Learning from Isaac to walk away from Esek (argument) and Sitnah (hostility), letting God redirect our battles rather than wrestling with flesh and blood. Beyond Rehoboth: Why believers must refuse to let comfort become their destination, continuing to dig and seek deeper levels of glory even after finding room to prosper.
