• Revival requires first repairing the breaches and gaps in the house of God
• The enemy seeks to find holes in our theology and unity to create division
• True revival depends on "doers" who maintain and sustain ministry, not just talkers
• Authentic revival began wh...

Revival isn't about changing our methodology or worship style but experiencing a transformative encounter with God through authentic spiritual hunger. The biblical pattern for genuine revival involves returning to the altar, repenting completely, removing all hindrances, and positioning ourselves to receive from God.

• Revival is not mere change in philosophy, methodology, or worship style
• Recounting past revivals doesn't automatically create present revival
• Every revival in the Old Testament follows the pattern: return, repent, remove, receive
• The altar should be viewed as a bench of refuge, not a bench of shame...

"I didn't know where else to turn," Paul shares in this raw, unfiltered conversation. "And when I finally decided – or God finally put it on my heart – to get saved and I came to church and prayed, God took everything. My addiction, my cravi...

With unflinching clarity, Sister Deb unpacks the terrifying imagery of locust-like creatures with human faces, women's hair, and lion's teeth—beings armed with scorpion stings that will torment humanity for five months. Even more disturbing, during this period people will "seek death and not find it," as even suicide becomes impossible. The sixth tr...

What happens when we show up to church physically but remain spiritually absent? Drawing from the profound wisdom of the minor prophet Amos, this message cuts straight to the heart of modern Christianity's greatest struggle: giving false worship to the true God.

Unlike Elijah who confronted people worshiping Baal, Amos addressed those who maintained religious appearances while their hearts remained far from God. The pastor challenges us to examine whether we're merely going through religious motions – putting on church clothes and showing up – or truly engaging in authentic worship that extends beyo...

A transformative message on forgiveness unfolds as Pastor John reflects on a 96-year-old saint's funeral, where people repeatedly remarked that "she preached her own funeral" through her Godly life.

Drawing from Matthew 5:23-24 and the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18, Pastor John uncovers a fundamental truth often overlooked in religious circles: we cannot expect God's forgiveness while harboring...

Sister Deb Osborne shares the profound importance of the Bible as God's direct, inspired, and unmistakable communication to humanity, emphasizing its unchanging truth and transformative power in our lives.

• The Bible contains God's precise words - He "didn't mumble" but spoke clearly about matters concerning both Him and us

• Despite being written by people from various backgrounds (shepherds, kings, soldiers, fishermen), the Bible reads as one cohesive book d...

God's children often feel isolated in their struggles, but we're never truly alone in our battles with the enemy, who strategically attacks when we're vulnerable and weary.

• We must recognize that when we feel surrounded by problems, we are actually surrounded by God
• Jesus overcame every temptation in the wilderness, showing us we can be overcomers through His blood
• The attacks come because of the anointing within us - it's not about...

Death has a finality few things can match—until it encounters Jesus. This Palm Sunday message takes us not to the streets of Jerusalem, but to a tomb in Bethany where a man named Lazarus had been dead for four days.

The timing of Jesus' arrival wasn't accidental but intentional. He deliberately waited until Lazarus was undeniably dead—so dead that Martha warned, "Lord, by this time he stinketh." Through this incredible story, we discover profound truth about divine delays. When Martha and Mary both confronted Jesus with the same painful word...
