Church and Stuff

Do You Know Him?

There's someone who walks beside you every single day. Someone who knows your thoughts before you speak them, who grieves when you settle for less than you were created for, and who longs to guide you into the fullness of life. Yet for many believers, this person remains a familiar stranger—known by name but not truly known. We're comfortable with God the Father, the Creator. We embrace Jesus the Son, our Redeemer. But the Holy Spirit? That's where things get complicated. Speaker:Pastor Brent Powell

Is There Not A Cause?

David’s question still echoes today: “Is there not a cause?” In this inspiring message from 1 Samuel 17, discover how God calls ordinary people to live for something greater than themselves. Learn how purpose defeats fear, unity strengthens families, courage confronts giants, and the Church can stand boldly for Christ in a culture desperate for hope. The giants may have changed, but God’s call remains the same. Speaker: Pastor Brent Powell

How to Heal the Sick

The message explored the often-overlooked reality that God has empowered every believer to heal the sick through the name of Jesus Christ. We addressed the disconnect in Western Christianity between believing God CAN heal and believing God ALWAYS heals. This teaching challenged us to view sickness as an enemy to our salvation - just as we view sin - and to understand that healing is not a "second-class citizen" to salvation but an essential component of the Gospel. God is not a dispenser of death and sickness; He is the giver of health and life. The implications for our spiritual life are profound: we are called to be agents of God's healing power in a hurting world, demonstrating the Kingdom through tangible miracles that point people to Christ. Speaker: Bishop Ed Akers

Will You Be Convinced?

The message explored the critical difference between mental acknowledgment of God and genuine, transformative conviction in His promises. Drawing from Romans 4:20-21, we examined how Abraham was "fully persuaded" that what God had promised, He was also able to perform. The message addressed the crisis facing the modern American church—a body of believers who know the songs and attend services but lack the deep-rooted conviction needed to walk in spiritual authority, pray bold prayers, and believe God for the impossible. This resignation to powerless faith keeps us bound when God has called us to freedom, sick when He has declared us healed, and stagnant when He has promised us growth and maturity.

A Mother's Purpose

This Mother's Day sermon featured testimonies from mothers in various life stages—from single motherhood and raising young children to parenting teenagers and adult children. Each speaker reminded us that God gently leads us through every season, providing supernatural strength when we surrender our children and circumstances to Him. The overarching message was clear: motherhood (and spiritual parenthood) is not about perfection, but about faithful presence, persistent prayer, and trusting God's promises even when we cannot see the outcome.
