GET A GOOD NAME
GET A GOOD NAME episode artwork
Last Sunday at 6:00 PM

What if the greatest battle of your life isn't against your circumstances—but against the labels you've believed about yourself?


In this powerful message from Genesis 32:27–28, we journey through Jacob's life-changing encounter with God and discover that a good name is worth fighting for. Before God changed Jacob's future, He confronted Jacob's identity. Through honesty, dependence, and vision, God transformed a deceiver into Israel—a man who would carry the promise of generations.


Your identity isn't found in your past, your failures, or the names others...

What if the greatest battle you're fighting isn't around you... but coming out of your own mouth?

This week, we're confronting one of the most overlooked spiritual disciplines: the words we speak. Every conversation is an opportunity to come into agreement with God's promise—or with the enemy's lie.

Your words aren't empty.
They're forming atmospheres.
They're shaping families.
They're influencing generations.

Before you speak over your marriage...
Before you speak over your children...
Before you speak over your future...
Ask yourself:

SORRY, I'VE GOT TRUST ISSUES
SORRY, I'VE GOT TRUST ISSUES episode artwork
07/12/2026

Some of us don't struggle because God has been unfaithful—we struggle because life has taught us not to trust.

In this message, Pastor Jamal Hegwood invites us back to the heart of Proverbs 3:5–6, reminding us that trusting God isn't passive; it's surrender. As we learn to trust His heart, His voice, and His design, we discover the freedom that comes from living according to His plan instead of our own understanding.

This message is an invitation to lay down fear, control, and disappointment—and trust the One who has always been faithful.

God's Plan

07/05/2026

What if God's first plan for changing the world wasn't government, church, or even a nation?

It was family.

In this powerful message, we journey through the life of Abraham to discover that family has always been God's strategy for discipleship, legacy, and transformation. No matter your season of life—single, married, a parent, grandparent, teenager, or young adult—this message will challenge you to build a household that reflects God's original design.

You'll discover how to:

- Pursue His Voice

- Live at the Altar

What if your greatest breakthrough isn’t in front of you… but underneath the boat?


In this powerful message, Pastor Travis Greene teaches from Luke 5 and reminds us that even when we don’t see results, God is still working. Just because your nets seem empty doesn’t mean Heaven is inactive. God is preparing blessings, opportunities, and breakthrough beneath the surface.


If you’ve been waiting, praying, sowing, or wondering if God has forgotten you, this message will strengthen your faith and encourage you to keep going. You...

How did you make it through everything that tried to take you out?

In this powerful message, we're reminded that God's protection, grace, and faithfulness have carried us through every challenge, setback, disappointment, and battle. What should have broken you didn't. What should have stopped you couldn't. Through every storm, God made a way for you to survive—and not just survive, but triumph.

As you listen, consider:
• What has God brought you through that you haven't stopped to celebrate?
• Are you giving God glory for your progress, even if you're not where you wa...


SPACE MAKER

06/14/2026

What if the very thing you see as failure is actually creating room for God to do something greater?


In this powerful message from the Netflex and Chill series, Pastor Jamal delivers a life-changing word titled “Space Maker,” challenging us to stop viewing our empty places as evidence of God’s absence and start seeing them as opportunities for His presence.


Using Luke 5 and the story of Simon Peter’s empty fishing boat, Pastor Jamal reveals a profound truth: Jesus didn’t choose a boat that was full of fish—He ch...


NO HELP, NO HARVEST
NO HELP, NO HARVEST episode artwork
06/07/2026

What if the very thing God promised you is too heavy to carry alone?

In “No Help, No Harvest,” we dive into Luke 5:7 and uncover a powerful truth: some blessings will break your nets if you refuse partnership. After a night of failure, Simon Peter obeys Jesus and experiences a miracle so overwhelming that he has to shout for help before he loses the harvest.

This message confronts isolation, ego, and the pressure to carry everything by yourself. Because sometimes the reason you’re overwhelmed isn’t because God abandoned you — it’s because the harvest was...


WHAT'S YOUR NET WORTH?
WHAT'S YOUR NET WORTH? episode artwork
05/31/2026

Your net can only hold what it's been prepared to carry.

Before Jesus called fishermen to catch people, He found them washing their nets after a disappointing night. Yet what felt like failure was actually preparation for one of the greatest invitations ever given: "From now on, you will fish for people."

Before God changes your assignment, He often repairs your net.

Elijah wasn’t weak, he was empty. And instead of rebuking him, God refueled him.

Let The light In

03/01/2026

In this powerful message, we explore what happens when spiritual darkness covers a land — and how revival begins when we choose to let the light of God back in. Through Exodus 10:20–23, we see the stark contrast between Egypt’s darkness and the light that remained over God’s people. The question is: where have we allowed darkness to linger in our own lives?

In Joshua 7, Israel experiences unexpected defeat, not because God failed them, but because compromise was hidden beneath the surface. What was buried in Achan’s tent affected an entire nation.

02/15/2026

In Part 2 of Housekeeping, Pastor Travis Greene continues unpacking what it looks like to allow God to deal with the hidden places of our hearts.

Housekeeping Pt. 1

02/09/2026

In this message, we journey through the story of Gideon to uncover how revival doesn’t start in crowds it starts in the home. Before God breathes life into dry bones, He deals with hidden idols. Before He sends power, He calls for obedience. This is about spiritual house-keeping, breaking cycles, and declaring: it stops with me.


West Wind

Drawing from Exodus 10:19, Dr. Jackie teaches how the West Wind came and swept away the locusts, reminding us that when God sends His wind, it comes to remove loss, restore what was stolen, and make room for renewal.

WEEK 6: PLANTED ON PURPOSE [P.O.P 💥] | Pastor Travis Greene

Pastor Travis Greene brought a message that hit the heart and shifted the room. Walking us through the life of Joseph — from the pit, to slavery, to prison, to the palace — he showed us how every season was actually a seed. What looked like burial was God’s intentional planting. 🙌🏽🌱

Because He’s Alpha and Omega, you can rest knowing nothing in your life is random. Not one moment is wasted. Not one setback is a surprise to Him. Even the things that happen SUDDENLY 😮‍💨 — He’s already in it.

“Halfway Is Not the Whole Way” is a transformative message calling us out of comfort, out of complacency, and into full obedience to God. Using Genesis 12:1–3 as the foundation, this sermon reminds us that partial obedience is still disobedience—and that the blessing is found when we go all the way with God.

11/03/2025

This message, Guardians of the Garden, reminds us that being planted in the house of the Lord isn’t just about being present—it’s about being protected, positioned, and purposed.

In Psalm 92, we’re told that those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish. But like Nehemiah and the builders of Jerusalem’s wall, there are times when flourishing requires fighting—guarding what God has called us to build.

Nehemiah’s story shows us how the people prayed, posted guards, and worked with a weapon in one hand and a tool in the ot...

In this powerful teaching, we dive deep into the significance of reverence, consecration, and praise as seen in 1 Chronicles 15 & 16, Acts 3, and Jeremiah 1.

📖 David reminds the Levites of their divine responsibility — to carry the Ark of the Lord the right way, not out of routine, but with holiness and honor. When what’s holy becomes common, our convictions bow to convenience. But God is calling us back to reverence. 🙌

PLEASE DON’T BE SHADY 🌿

Scripture:
Jonah 4:1–5 (NIV)

But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry.
2 He prayed to the Lord, “Isn’t this what I said, Lord, when I was still at home? That is what I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity.
3 Now, Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.”

PREPARE FOR OUTPOUR
Scripture Focus: Joel 2:23 (NKJV)
“Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God; for He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you—the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.”

God is releasing a fresh outpouring of His Spirit — the kind that revives, restores, and refreshes everything that’s been dry. When God sends rain, it’s not random — it’s revival.

Main Points:
Prepare for Outpour — God is faithful to send rain in it...

What are you carrying? 

For real… are you carrying the presence of God, or just going through the motions? In 2 Samuel 6, David realized the Ark couldn’t be handled any kind of way. Uzzah touched what wasn’t his to carry and lost his life. But when the Ark rested at Obed-Edom’s house, everything in his life started getting blessed.

You can’t give what you don’t have. That’s why Peter said, “I don’t have silver or gold… but what I do have, I give.” The question is—what do you have to give? When you ca...

🔥 I Can’t Give What I Don’t Have 🔥

Let me ask you this: what do you really have to give?

Have you ever considered that sometimes people are asking you for something you don’t have… but God has placed something greater inside of you? The man at the gate called Beautiful thought he needed silver and gold, but what he truly needed was healing. Peter and John couldn’t give him money, but they carried something far more valuable — the power of Jesus.

Here’s the question: what are you carrying? When the world place...
