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 hel...

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 Hiera...

    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 imm...

    Pastor Alex reminded us the abundant life Jesus promised isn’t about comfort, money, or an easy road, it’s an abundant, spiritual life. Scripture calls it zoe: life that comes from the Spirit, and perissos: an extraordinary, overflowing life that lacks nothing spiritually. Jesus is the river of life, and the Holy Spirit is the One who brings that life to us and through us. We are called to be a fountain of living water for other...

    Pastor Mike encouraged us to walk in the spirit of might.The spirit of might is God’s power working through yielded hearts. It gives us power to obey, to stand fearless, and to carry out God’s assignments in total victory. We are no longer victims. We are empowered believers.All we need to do is ask in faith for God to fill us with His Spirit so we can walk in bold, faith-filled obedience.Scriptures: Isaiah 11:2 Acts 4:31 2 Cori...

    We were created for relationship, and God Himself invites us into the deepest one of all: friendship with Him. From the garden with Adam and Eve to Abraham, Moses, and the disciples, Scripture shows that God longs to walk with His people in closeness, trust, and shared heart. Friendship with God is not automatic. It is intentional, relational, and marked by love, obedience, and agreement with His ways. As we pursue Him, align our ...

    Pastor Alex encouraged us how whole we can’t always control what others do, but we can examine our own hearts. Let our lives be a testimony of what God is doing. When things get difficult, the first place to look is inward. As believers, self-examination is an essential part of our walk. Paul calls us to evaluate our faith, our motives, and our responses. When we examine ourselves, we give God room to transform us. Pastor Al...

    Pastor Alex reminded us of the power of thanksgiving. It’s more than a holiday, it sets the atmosphere of our hearts. As we slow down and appreciate one another, we remember the One who deserves our deepest thanks: the Lord.Thanksgiving strengthens us. It deepens our walk, grows our roots in Christ, and aligns us with God’s will — giving thanks in everything. Even in painful seasons, gratitude becomes real faith. It lifts heaviness...

    In this sermon, Pastor Alex shared how we are called to walk in both the Word and the Spirit, just as God modeled from the very beginning. Jesus Himself, the Word made flesh, didn’t begin His ministry until the Spirit came upon Him. The early church lived the same way, moving in power because the Word and the Spirit worked hand-in-hand. When the Spirit breathes on the Word, boldness rises, lives change, and transformation follows. ...

    You have more than power — you have authority. This week, Pastor Alex reminded us that God’s power isn’t limited to physical healing. Jesus came to heal minds, restore souls, and give us authority — the legal right to stand against the enemy. The early church didn’t just walk in power; they walked in authority. Before the Holy Spirit was poured out, Jesus gave authority to His disciples and the seventy. They cast out demons a...

    Revival is here — not someday, but now. God is calling His church to walk in the fullness of His power, not only half of it. Young people across America are surrendering their lives to Jesus and hearts are being restored. But when they come to church, do they find God's power? Do we look like Jesus? It’s time to rise up as the Church — not with just lights, music, or beautiful buildings — but with miracle workin...

    Do not follow from afar. When distance creeps in, comfort matters more than obedience., prayer turns into a task, and adoration into observation.Peter once did this, but we see how Jesus restored him. Distances creates fear and invites in denial. But grace calls you back.Draw near to God and close the gap today. Scriptures: Luke 22:54-55, 31-32 John 21:15-18 2 Samuel 11:1-4 Judges 16:20 1 Kings 11:4-8 Ec...

    This episode unpacks the theme of enduring to the end. Using the imagery of the threshing floor, we see how trials separate what is temporary from what is eternal. Just as wheat is refined through crushing and wind, God uses testing to strengthen our faith.

    Drawing from Luke 22:31–32, 1 Peter, and Hebrews 12, we are reminded that Jesus is interceding for us in every trial. Our response — whether growth or bitterness — reveals the f...

    God uses His appointed feasts to shift the atmosphere and draw us closer to Him. But the question remains: Will you say yes? As believers, saying "yes" to God isn't a one-time decision — it's a daily surrender. In this message, we explore the deeper meaning behind your "yes" and how it shapes your walk with Christ.

    Key Scriptures:

    Matthew 4:18-20 - Say Yes to Following Him

    Isaiah 6:1-9 - Say Yes to Purpose

    Ephesians 6:12-13 – Say Y...

    Influence shapes who we are at our core. There is godly influence and there is harmful influence. Scripture teaches that walking with the wise brings wisdom, and that evil company corrupts good habits. Jesus calls us to be salt and light. In this continuation from last week, Pastor Alex unpacks how influence forms character and behavior, how it moves through family, marriage, community, and leadership, and how examples from the Bib...
