Ocala Church

Tithing isn’t fund-raising; it’s heart-shaping. The first tenth belongs to God, not because He needs money but because He longs for trust, holiness, and love from His people. When treasure is returned to its rightful Owner, windows of heaven open, the devourer is rebuked, and revival begins—personally and corporately.

• Matthew 6:21

• Leviticus 27:30

🚫 Skip the church-hopping cycle and get rooted in purpose. When you’re always moving, you miss the growth that comes from staying planted. God's design is for you to flourish—not in a pot, but in rich, life-giving soil. True spiritual maturity happens when we submit to godly leadership, endure pruning, and grow where we’ve been placed. Don’t shop for comfort; dig in for transformation. 🌱

Scripture References:

• Psalm 92:1...

When we under-promise and over-deliver, we build trust, momentum, and open the door for God to exceed expectations in our lives. Whether in marriage, fitness, or faith, setting realistic goals and surpassing them creates lasting growth. Just like Abraham, who offered little but gave much, exceeding his promise brought forth the long-awaited miracle. Start small, stay faithful, and let God do the rest.

Pain isn’t always purpose—it can be a warning. Some pain shapes you for your destiny, but other pain comes from harmful choices. The key is recognizing the difference. Let pain push you toward growth, not destruction. If you’re willing to change, even self-inflicted wounds can lead to healing. Don't just endure the pain—let it transform you.

When the focus is on souls, God moves. From puppet ministry to prayer meetings that lead to life-changing encounters, this episode is a passionate call to reclaim evangelism as a way of life. Whether it's teaching Bible studies, praying over a "Holy Ghost Radar" list, or hitting the streets with surveys and compassion, the message is clear: if you want to reach souls, God will make a way.

Fullness begins with emptying. To step into God’s kingdom, we must lay down the weights of pride, pleasure, and worldly ambition—just like the camel that must kneel and be unburdened to enter the city. This is not loss—it’s preparation. What we give up in repentance, God replaces with peace, joy, and the fullness of His Spirit.

The Stephen Moment | Pastor Myles Young (Rock 2014)

God is raising up a bold and unified army in the face of tragedy and opposition. This is a Stephen moment—when boldness replaces fear, and the power of the Holy Ghost moves ordinary people into extraordinary callings. Now is the time to rise, pray, and push back against every attack with unwavering faith. The next chapter of revival begins with us. Get ready. It's time to go to...

Hell’s worst nightmare isn’t just the empty tomb—it’s every life transformed by the power of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. You don’t have to stay bound by sin. Freedom comes through repentance, baptism in Jesus’ name, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost. Just like Moses led Israel out of bondage, Jesus leads us out of spiritual death into new life.

Scripture References:

• Matthew 28:1-7

• Acts 2:38

In a world clouded by confusion and deception, the gift of discernment has never been more vital. True discernment flows from a deep relationship with the Holy Ghost, sharpening your vision to see what others can't. It's not about being critical—it's about being cautious, wise, and Spirit-led.

The Necessity of the Intercessor (SCORE 2003) | Pastor Gary Howard

Abraham, Moses, Samuel, and even Jesus himself stood as intercessors, shifting the course of nations and souls through prayer. The call is clear: God is looking for friends who will cry out for others, who will build hedges of protection, and who will weep for the broken. Will you answer the call?

Scripture References:

• Genesis 18:17-23
• Romans 8:34
• Ezekiel 22:30

True life begins at the altar. To gain eternity with Christ, we must first lay down our will, crucify our desires, and live a life surrendered to Him. Repentance is not just confession—it's a daily, intentional death to self. Live each day planning your funeral—because resurrection always follows crucifixion.

Scriptures References:

• Matthew 16:24–27

• Ephesians 5:14–21

• Romans 6:5–8

True holiness is not found in the extremes—it’s found in balance. When we lean too far left or right, even in our pursuit of truth, we risk losing the very thing that anchors us: the holiness of God. Balance isn’t compromise—it’s protection. Stay anchored, stay balanced, stay holy.

Until Christ Be Formed (SCORE 2012) | Pastor Nathaniel Urshan

Adversity doesn’t mean defeat—it’s the chisel God uses to form Christ in us. Growth takes place when we endure, obey, and lean into God's purpose. It’s in the struggle, the stretching, and the sacrifice that faith is forged and Christ is formed. Don't run from the refining fire—embrace it. Let your life be shaped by truth, rooted in holiness, and filled with the p...

Even when words fail, the walk continues. Life’s burdens, silence in prayer, and unanswered questions can't stop the power of simply walking with God. Enoch’s life reminds us that daily steps in faith—through storms, grief, and uncertainty—lead us closer to God’s heart. Let your life testify, even when your lips cannot. Walk with God—He’s walking with you.

Scripture References:

• Genesis 5:24

• Hebrews 11:5

What you refuse to confront will continue to control you. Just like Adam in the garden, we are given the authority to name what enters our lives—whether it’s fear, depression, addiction, or sin. It’s time to stop covering it up and start calling it out. Real freedom begins when you name the struggle and take dominion through the power of God.

Revival starts with the young. When churches empower their youth to step into their God-given callings, entire congregations are transformed. Maturity isn't measured by age but by a willingness to grow, serve, and lead. From Jeremiah to the disciples, scripture is clear—God uses young people to shift nations.

When God changes your name, He changes your destiny. Jacob, once a deceiver, became Israel—a prince with God—through a wrestling match that left him marked but blessed. That moment defined the journey from striving in the flesh to surrendering in faith. Your past doesn't disqualify you; it sets the stage for what God can do.
