Overcome (Justin Goodson)

Favor - Noah

Pastor Chad teaches that God’s favor is not something we earn, but something that flows from a relationship with Him. Using Noah’s story, he explains that God looks for people who trust and obey His Word rather than following their own desires, and that living by faith is what pleases God. He emphasizes that God’s favor is ultimately given not just for our benefit, but so we can fulfill His purposes and point others to the salvation found in Jesus.

Come, Holy Spirit - Life In The Spirit

Pastor Chad’s sermon emphasized that the Christian life, from beginning to end, depends on the Holy Spirit rather than human effort. Using Galatians 5, Pastor Chad taught that believers are saved, sustained, transformed, and assured of their relationship with God through the Holy Spirit. He contrasted two ineffective approaches to life with God—religious self-righteousness and rebellious self-indulgence—explaining that both ultimately rely on self instead of God. True spiritual growth does not come from trying harder to overcome sin but from continually walking with the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to produce His fruit—love, joy, peace, patience, and self-control—in our lives. Pastor Chad concluded that lasting transformation happens through a daily relationship with God, as the Holy Spirit gradually shapes believers into the image of Christ.

Come Holy Spirit - The Fire Fell At 9 AM

On Pentecost Sunday, Pastor Chad preached that God is intentionally guiding history through “days, hours, and seasons,” and that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at 9 a.m. on the Day of Pentecost was not random, but part of God’s redemptive plan between Christ’s first coming and His return. Drawing from Acts 2,he challenged believers to live as Spirit-filled people who order their lives around God’s presence through consistent prayer, faithfulness, and attentiveness to the Holy Spirit rather than the distractions of culture. He emphasized that we are living in the “last days,” a time marked by both urgency and opportunity: urgency to repent, persevere, and proclaim the gospel, and opportunity to experience the power and peace of the Holy Spirit while awaiting Christ’s return.

Come Holy Spirit - Can These Bones Live?

This Next Gen Sunday sermon used Ezekiel 37’s Valley of Dry Bones to teach that no person or generation is too far gone for God to restore. The speakers connected modern struggles like anxiety, brokenness, and searching for fulfillment apart from God with Israel’s spiritual condition, emphasizing that true life comes through God’s Word, obedience, and the Holy Spirit. Through stories like Lazarus and David, they challenged the church to see purpose and destiny in the next generation instead of failure, declaring that God still sees “an exceedingly great army” rising up for His Kingdom.

Come Holy Spirit - Without Measure

Pastor Chad taught that Jesus carried the Holy Spirit “without measure,” living in constant connection to God’s limitless power and wisdom, and that believers are invited into that same Spirit-led life. Centering on John the Baptist’s words, “He must increase, but I must decrease,” Pastor Chad explained that true joy and abundance are not found through self-promotion or success, but through closeness to Jesus and obedience to His voice. Using examples from the Gospel of John, he showed how simple acts of faith and obedience open the door to supernatural provision, healing, guidance, and overflowing life through the Holy Spirit.
