Prepare the Way

Are We There Yet?

Have you ever felt like God gave you a promise, a dream, or a calling but the journey to get there is taking longer than you expected? This week, Pastor Dereck looks at the life of Joseph and reminds us that God’s promises often come with a process. Joseph received a dream from God, but before its fulfillment came rejection, false accusations, prison, and years of waiting. This message encourages us to trust God when we don’t understand the route, stay faithful in the hidden seasons, and refuse the shortcuts that can derail our purpose. Even in the detours, God is working. The delays are not wasted; they are preparing us for what He has planned. No matter where you are in the journey, God has not forgotten you. The destination is worth it. Access the digital message notes at: https://faithnotes.cloud/note.php?id=legacychurch&page=single¬e=13111 ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Left-Handed in a Right-Handed World

Have you ever felt like your weaknesses, insecurities, or past mistakes disqualify you from being used by God? This week, Pastor Dereck looks at the story of Ehud in Judges 3 and shows how God often uses the very things we see as weaknesses to accomplish His purpose. In a culture that celebrated strength and fitting in, God chose a left-handed leader to bring deliverance to an entire nation. This message reminds us that God qualifies the unqualified, brings victory from unexpected places, and can use every part of our story for His glory. What we see as a weakness, God can use for victory when it is surrendered to Him.

Empowered by the Spirit

Have you ever felt like you’re trying to follow Jesus but keep running out of strength? In week three of Prepare the Way, Pastor Dereck shares how the Holy Spirit empowers us to live the life God has called us to. Repentance prepares the soil, obedience plants the seed, and the Holy Spirit gives us the power to keep walking in the way of Jesus. This message explores how the Holy Spirit gives us strength for everyday life, freedom over what once controlled us, and boldness to be witnesses for Christ. You don’t have to rely on your own strength—God doesn’t just call you to follow Him; He empowers you to do it.

All In

What is God asking you to step out of the boat and trust Him with? In week two of Prepare the Way, Pastor Dereck shares a powerful message about obedience, surrender, and going ALL IN with Jesus. Looking at Peter stepping out onto the water in Matthew 14, we’re reminded that faith isn’t staying comfortable in the boat — it’s trusting Jesus enough to take the next step, even when fear is loud. Baptism isn’t about being perfect. It’s about surrender. It’s a public declaration that your life belongs to Jesus and that the old life is gone and a new life has begun. If fear has been holding you back from obedience, maybe this message is your invitation to finally take the step.

Prepare the Way

What does it look like to prepare the way for God to move in your life? In Prepare the Way, Pastor Dereck walks through Luke 3 and the message of John the Baptist—a call to repentance, transformation, and making room for Jesus to reign in every area of our lives. Repentance isn’t just feeling bad about sin. It’s turning toward God and allowing Him to change the direction of your heart. No one is too far gone for God’s grace, and real repentance always produces transformation.
