James Epperly

Who Has Your Ear

What if the miracle is not delayed because Jesus is unwilling—but because the room is filled with the wrong voices? In this powerful message from Mark 5, Pastor James Epperly teaches from the story of Jairus’ daughter and reveals how Jesus cleared the room before He spoke resurrection life. Wrong voices can carry fear, doubt, unbelief, and discouragement, but the Word of God has the final authority. This sermon will encourage you to guard your atmosphere, recognize voices that weaken your faith, and make room for Jesus to speak life over what feels dead. If you have been battling fear, confusion, negative reports, or voices that keep pulling you away from faith, this message will help you stand on the Word and believe again. When the room gets clear, the Word gets heard. And when the Word gets heard, dead things get up.

A Mouth That Agrees With Heaven

Your words are not just describing your life. Many times, your words are directing your life. In Day 7 of Built Different, Pastor James Epperly teaches on the power of bringing your mouth into agreement with Heaven. Faith has a language. Fear has a language. Shame has a language. Victory has a language. If you are going to live built different, you cannot keep speaking from the old blueprint. This teaching will help you recognize what your words have been agreeing with and begin speaking in alignment with the Word of God. You do not have to keep repeating what God never said. You are not hopeless. You are not abandoned. You are not condemned. You are not defined by shame, fear, pressure, or your past. The Word of God has the final word. Your mouth belongs to God. Your words can agree with Heaven. You were built different.

A Mind Renewed By The Word

You can be saved and still think like the old you. In Day 6 of Built Different, Pastor James Epperly teaches from Romans 12:2 on what it means to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. If you are going to live built different, you cannot keep thinking from the old blueprint. Many believers have been made new in Christ, but their thought patterns are still shaped by fear, shame, condemnation, comparison, insecurity, offense, or the culture around them. But the Word of God gives us truth strong enough to cast down every lie and renew the way we think. This teaching will help you recognize thoughts that do not agree with God, stop letting every thought build a house in your mind, and begin meditating on what is true, pure, lovely, noble, and of good report. You do not have to be conformed to this world. You can be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Your mind belongs to Christ.

The Identity Pressure Cannot Steal

Pressure does not just come after your peace. It comes after your identity. In Day 5 of Built Different, Pastor James Epperly teaches how the enemy attacks who you believe you are so he can influence how you live. If he can make you feel rejected, condemned, ashamed, insecure, or trapped in an old identity, he can keep you living beneath what Jesus has already made new. But if you are in Christ, you are a new creation. Your past does not have the final word. Shame does not have the final word. People’s opinions do not have the final word. God’s Word has the final word. This teaching will help you stop answering to old names like rejected, failure, dirty, weak, forgotten, or not enough — and begin living from who God says you are in Christ. You are forgiven. You are accepted. You are loved. You are chosen. You are a new creation. Pressure may challenge your identity, but it cannot steal it when your identity is rooted in Christ.

God Will Provide

God is not only the One who has provided before—He is the One who will provide again. In this Mother’s Day message, Pastor James Epperly teaches from Genesis 22 on the name Jehovah Jireh, “The Lord Will Provide,” and shows how faith, obedience, and trust position us to experience God’s provision in our lives. Through the stories of Abraham and Isaac, Mary at the wedding in Cana, and the feeding of the five thousand, this sermon reveals that God’s supply is often found on the other side of obedience. You will be encouraged to trust God when you cannot yet see the answer, believe that He has already prepared what you need, and remember that He is not the God of barely enough—He is the God of more than enough. This message also includes a special Mother’s Day encouragement from the story of Mary, showing the power of a mother who knows how to bring a need to Jesus and keep pointing her family toward His Word.
