A Pure Church is a Powerful Church | Jamie Grisham | Compassion Church

My Story — When God Moves, The Enemy Schemes | Acts 5:1–11Description: The church in Acts 4–5 is in the middle of a powerful move of God—thousands saved, radical generosity, unity, joy, miracles, bold preaching. Then suddenly, Ananias and Sapphira drop dead. It’s shocking—and it confronts our “safe” view of God. In this message, we see a Jesus who is fiercely committed to a pure church and an enemy who loves to work through deception.Key themes:The Holy Spirit is present and personal: “You have not lied to man but to God.” (Acts 5:3–4)When God is moving, the enemy is scheming—often from the inside through compromise and hypocrisy.Admiring sacrifice vs. embracing surrender: the root of hypocrisy is wanting the credit of sacrifice without paying the cost of surrender.Doors that deception opens: love of praise, love of money, and loss of the fear of the Lord.Why Ananias and Sapphira died: Jesus is protecting the purity of His Bride; sin at the foundation is deadly.The fear of the Lord doesn’t push us away from God—it pushes us away from sin.A pure church is a powerful church: after holy fear comes fresh power, signs and wonders, and more believers added (Acts 5:11–42).Scripture references:Acts 4:36–37 (Barnabas’ Spirit-led generosity)Acts 5:1–11 (Ananias and Sapphira)Ephesians 4:27 (Give no opportunity to the devil)1 Corinthians 5:6 (A little leaven leavens the whole lump)Psalm 139:23–24 (Search me, O God)1 John 1:9 (Confess and be cleansed)Takeaways:Jesus won’t build His church on deception.Satan can’t force your sin, but he’ll fuel your self-deception.Purity doesn’t shut down revival; it protects it.Response:Examine: “Search me, O God…” (Psalm 139:23–24)Expose: Confess to God (1 John 1:9)Embrace: Not shame, but grace—and fresh powerChapters: 0:00 Intro: Power and purity in Acts 2:45 Barnabas vs. Ananias and Sapphira 9:30 Deception’s root: praise, money, loss of holy fear 16:20 Why judgment fell and what Jesus is teaching 23:15 Fear of the Lord and revival power 29:00 Response: Examine, expose, embraceIf this message challenged you, share it with someone who’s hungry for a pure move of God.

Mothers Day at Compassion | Jamie Grisham

QUEEN FOR A DAY | The Hidden Faith That Changes GenerationsThis Mother’s Day message is a powerful reminder that some of the greatest moves of God begin in places nobody sees. In this sermon, we uncover the story of Queen Abi, a woman barely mentioned in Scripture, yet the mother of one of Judah’s greatest reforming kings, Hezekiah.While her husband, King Ahaz, led the nation into darkness and idolatry, Abi stayed faithful behind the scenes. Her story proves that you don’t have to be famous to be faithful, and you don’t have to be visible to be vital.If you’ve ever felt unnoticed, overlooked, exhausted, or like your prayers aren’t making a difference, this message is for you.🔥 In this sermon, we unpack 3 Keys to a Move of God:• TRUST — Trusting God in a spiritually broken environment• PERSISTENCE — Continuing to sow faith even when you don’t see results• TENACITY — Breaking generational cycles and building a new legacyThrough the life of Queen Abi, we’re reminded:👉 The family you came from doesn’t have to be the family that comes from you.👉 Your greatest legacy is not what you leave TO your children, but what you leave IN your children.👉 God is still using hidden faithfulness to raise up world-changing generations.📖 Scriptures in this message:2 Kings 18:1–72 Chronicles 29:3–5Deuteronomy 6:6–9Galatians 6:9Proverbs 22:6Isaiah 55:10–111 Corinthians 1:26–29No matter your title, your season, or your story — God sees the seeds you’re planting.You may never wear a crown on your head, but you’re shaping the crowns your children will lay at Jesus’ feet. 👑📍 Visit Compassion Church3525 Highway 70 W.

Poured Out | Compassion Church Dickson | Jamie Grisham

What happened on the Day of Pentecost wasn’t just a moment to remember, it was a moment that changed everything.In this message, we dive into Acts of the Apostles chapter 2 and uncover how God didn’t just give His people a date on a calendar, He gave them POWER they were never meant to live without. From the sound of a rushing wind… to tongues of fire… to ordinary people speaking in supernatural language, this was the birth of the Church as we know it. And it all started with a promise fulfilled. We explore the powerful contrast between the Old Testament Pentecost, when the Law was given on Mount Sinai, and the New Testament Pentecost, where the Spirit was poured out. One brought death. The other brought life.🔥 3,000 died under the Law🔥 3,000 were saved by the SpiritThis message breaks down:• Why the Law reveals but cannot save• How the Holy Spirit brings true life and power• The significance of a restored heavenly language (from Book of Genesis to Book of Zephaniah)• How unity and understanding are tied to the Spirit• The transformation of Peter the Apostle, from fearful failure to bold preacherPeter walked with Jesus for 3 years… and still lacked power. But one encounter with the Holy Spirit changed everything.This isn’t just a history lesson, it’s an invitation.The same Spirit that filled Peter is still available today.The same power that ignited the early Church is still moving.If you’re tired of trying to get life out of something that only exposes death… this message is for you.“Repent, receive, and surrender.” (Acts 2:38–39)➡️ The promise is for you.➡️ The power is available.➡️ The question is—will you receive it?📍 Visit Compassion Church3525 Highway 70 W.
