Come Holy Spirit - Our Helper From Heaven

Favor - The Church With Favor

Pastor Chad challenged the church to see success not by attendance or programs, but by how effectively it spreads the Word of God. Drawing from the book of Acts and reflecting on a recent mission trip to Spain, he showed how God used the early church to overcome growth, persecution, and changing ministry needs so that the gospel continued to increase, multiply, spread throughout entire regions, and ultimately prevail. He called believers to embrace their identity as citizens of God's Kingdom, to pray fervently, disciple others, raise up new leaders, and view their own community as a mission field, urging the church to become a launching pad for sending people to proclaim the gospel until the Word of God transforms lives, cities, and nations.

A Fathers Legacy (Tom Madden)

Guest Speaker Tom Madden teaches that the greatest legacy a father can leave is not wealth, success, or achievement, but a life devoted to God that influences future generations. Drawing from the lives of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, he warns of the consequences of drifting from God while encouraging fathers to lead their families in faith, prioritize the house of God, and model the love of the Heavenly Father. He concludes by reminding listeners that God can use one committed person to spark revival and leave a lasting spiritual legacy.

Favor - Joseph

Pastor Chad teaches that God’s favor is not measured by outward success, but by God’s presence in our lives. Through Joseph’s story, he explains that God remains with us through seasons of hardship, uses trials to develop our character, faithfully delivers us from affliction, and ultimately works His purposes in ways we could never accomplish on our own. The message reminds believers that God’s favor is a shield around them and that every victory is ultimately the result of God’s hand at work, not their own strength.

Favor - Noah

Pastor Chad teaches that God’s favor is not something we earn, but something that flows from a relationship with Him. Using Noah’s story, he explains that God looks for people who trust and obey His Word rather than following their own desires, and that living by faith is what pleases God. He emphasizes that God’s favor is ultimately given not just for our benefit, but so we can fulfill His purposes and point others to the salvation found in Jesus.

Come, Holy Spirit - Life In The Spirit

Pastor Chad’s sermon emphasized that the Christian life, from beginning to end, depends on the Holy Spirit rather than human effort. Using Galatians 5, Pastor Chad taught that believers are saved, sustained, transformed, and assured of their relationship with God through the Holy Spirit. He contrasted two ineffective approaches to life with God—religious self-righteousness and rebellious self-indulgence—explaining that both ultimately rely on self instead of God. True spiritual growth does not come from trying harder to overcome sin but from continually walking with the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to produce His fruit—love, joy, peace, patience, and self-control—in our lives. Pastor Chad concluded that lasting transformation happens through a daily relationship with God, as the Holy Spirit gradually shapes believers into the image of Christ.
