Manifest | Part 8: Testimony Sunday

In this special Manifest Testimony Service, we celebrate what God has done throughout the Manifest series by sharing stories of His faithfulness, healing, transformation, and the work of the Holy Spirit. Throughout Scripture, testimony has always strengthened faith, glorified God, and reminded His people that the same God who moved before is still moving today.As we hear lives changed through salvation, healing, answered prayer, spiritual growth, and bold obedience, we're reminded that every testimony points back to Jesus. This service is an invitation to remember God's faithfulness, expect Him to move again, and boldly share His work with others.Key Scriptures:Revelation 12:11, Psalm 107:2, Mark 5:19, Psalm 66:16, 1 Peter 2:9Main Points:1. Testimony glorifies God and strengthens the faith of others2. Remembering God's faithfulness fuels expectation for what He will do next3. Every believer has a story worth sharing because every story points to Jesus4. The Holy Spirit continues to transform lives today through His power and grace5. Our testimony becomes an invitation for others to encounter Christ➤ For more, visit presencecenteredlife.com#ManifestSeries #TestimonyService #HolySpirit #GodIsStillMoving #ShareYourStory #PresenceCenteredLife #GateCityBuckhead #SundaySermon #ChristianPodcast #Testimony #JesusChangesLives

Manifest | Part 7: Grant us Boldness

In Part 7 of the Manifest series, Pastor Hazen Stevens explores how the Holy Spirit empowers ordinary believers to live and witness with extraordinary boldness. Boldness is not a personality trait or human confidence—it is something the Spirit clothes us with. Throughout Scripture, God works through two hands at once: our willingness to speak and His power to open hearts.Drawing from the Upper Room, the early church, and stories from Acts, this message reminds us that evangelism is both natural and supernatural. We speak, God moves. We obey, God opens doors. Whether through a simple question, a vulnerable conversation, or an act of obedience, the Spirit uses ordinary moments to accomplish extraordinary purposes.Key Scriptures:Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8, Acts 4:29–31, Mark 16:20, Acts 8:29–39, Acts 10:19–20, 44, Acts 16:6–14Main Points:1. Boldness is worn, not manufactured—it comes from the Holy Spirit2. Every believer is called to be a witness, not merely possess a testimony3. The early church prayed for boldness, not comfort or easier circumstances4. God works through a partnership: we speak, and He opens hearts5. Most Spirit-led ministry happens through ordinary conversations and simple acts of obedience6. Closed doors, open hearts, and divine appointments are all part of God's guidance7. When we step out in faith, the Spirit confirms, empowers, and accomplishes what we cannot➤ For more, visit www.precencecenteredlife.comNotes:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MBsBRj0Wv1h74mFSReRoJXgHpVhQh69ttDT0j3V4cZI/edit?usp=sharing#ManifestSeries #GrantUsBoldness #HolySpirit #Acts4 #SpiritEmpowered #Evangelism #PresenceCenteredLife #GateCityBuckhead #SundaySermon #ChristianPodcast #BeMyWitnesses

Manifest | Part 6: Of One Accord—Discovering the Power of Unity

In Part 6 of the Manifest series, Pastor Hazen Stevens explores the spiritual power of unity and why it often precedes a fresh move of God. Before there was wind at Pentecost, there was one accord. Before there was fire, there was a people united in heart, purpose, and expectation. Unity doesn't earn God's presence, but it creates an environment ready to receive what He wants to pour out.Drawing from Acts 2, Ecclesiastes 4, and Jesus' teaching on agreement, this message reveals how unity strengthens families, churches, and generations. Through forgiveness, shared spiritual rhythms, and a common kingdom vision, we become a people who walk together in the mind of Christ. When God's people live in one accord, spiritual momentum is created and the next generation is positioned to inherit an even greater legacy of faith.Key Scriptures:Acts 2:1, Ecclesiastes 4:9–12, Matthew 18:19–20, Malachi 4:5–6, Ephesians 4:3, 1 Corinthians 2:16Main Points:1. Before there was Pentecost power, there was Pentecost unity2. Unity prepares the room for God's presence and activity3. The home is the first place where one accord must be cultivated4. Unity creates generational blessing and multiplication5. Forgiveness, shared spiritual rhythms, and kingdom vision strengthen unity6. God is building a people who stand together and move together in His purposes➤ For more, visit www.presencecenteredlife.comNotes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pujnALfbrJlFuvhktR3RunJwRZ9NvwFWQ4sI0-X1l_E/edit?usp=sharing#ManifestSeries #OfOneAccord #PowerOfUnity #Pentecost #Acts2 #PresenceCenteredLife #GateCityBuckhead #SpiritualFamily #SundaySermon #ChristianPodcast #KingdomUnity

Manifest | Part 4: Spiritual Mothers: Praying Beyond the Story you Can’t See

In this Mother’s Day message from the Manifest series, Pastor Hazen Stevens explores the spiritual power of intercession through the lives of Hannah and Mary. Prayer is more than words—it is labor. Through the strength of the Holy Spirit, we are invited to carry burdens, travail in prayer, and partner with God for things far beyond our own personal story.From Hannah’s fervent cries in the temple to Mary’s surrendered “yes,” this message reveals how God works through yielded people who are willing to pray for generations, cities, and futures they may never fully see. The Spirit helps us pray when words fail, groaning through us with heaven’s purposes.Key Scriptures:1 Samuel 1–2, Luke 1:46–55, Romans 8:14–27, Galatians 4:19, James 5:16Main Points:1. Prayer is spiritual labor that births things into the world2. Hannah’s fervent intercession moved heaven and shaped a nation3. The Holy Spirit leads us to pray beyond our own story4. Mary’s surrendered “yes” carried generational impact5. The Spirit intercedes through us when we don’t know how to pray6. God is calling believers to become spiritual mothers and fathers through ongoing prayer and surrender➤ For more, visit www.presencecenteredlife.comNotes:https://docs.google.com/document/d/154KYG_u5T2X2EDTQOr8RLwscdXw5y8Dvl-VHP8Hj8WM/edit?usp=sharing#ManifestSeries #SpiritualMothers #Intercession #PrayerChangesThings #HolySpirit #Romans8 #PresenceCenteredLife #GateCityBuckhead #SundaySermon #ChristianPodcast

Manifest | Part 5: The Towel Before the Title

In the closing message of the Manifest series, Pastor Hazen Stevens explores the fivefold ministry gifts through the lens of humility and service. Rooted in Ephesians 4 and Jesus washing His disciples’ feet, this message reminds us that spiritual gifting was never meant to elevate status—it was meant to build up the body of Christ. The greater the grace, the lower the posture.Walking through the apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, shepherding, and teaching gifts, Hazen shows how every believer is called to participate in these expressions in some measure. The goal is not imitation or comparison, but faithful stewardship of the unique grace God has entrusted to each person.Key Scriptures:Ephesians 4:11–12, John 13:3–15Main Points:1. Spiritual gifts are given to equip and strengthen the body of Christ2. Jesus carried true authority with a servant’s postureThe towel must come before the title3. Every believer is called to pioneer, hear God, witness, care for others, and grow in the Word in some measure4. Healthy ministry provokes your calling—it does not replace it5. Gifts are nurtured through humility, community, testing, and faithful service➤ For more, visit www.presencecenteredlife.comNotes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SB5vNS5SA6fzZpMjtDqrdRMMOhtznbRkEAAp6kT7GtI/edit?usp=sharing#ManifestSeries #TheTowelBeforeTheTitle #FiveFoldMinistry #ServantLeadership #Ephesians4 #PresenceCenteredLife #GateCityBuckhead #SpiritualGifts #SundaySermon #ChristianPodcast
