When Power Comes

ACT.2.1-ACT.2.4

When Power Comes

May 31, 2026 at 12:00 AM

Pentecost is not only a remembrance of the past but an expectation of present power. God’s power transforms ordinary lives into visible witnesses and meets a church gathered in surrender, agreement, unity, and expectation.

Sound, Sight, and Speech

ACT.2.1-ACT.2.4

Sound, Sight, and Speech

May 24, 2026 at 12:00 AM

Pentecost reveals Spirit-empowered witness through a sound from heaven, visible fire, and speech people can understand. Believers are called to gather intentionally, receive the Spirit’s power, and speak to every person with grace and clarity.

Stay Tender

ACT.2.1-ACT.2.4

Stay Tender

May 24, 2026 at 12:00 AM

A Spirit-led Pentecost service rather than a prepared sermon. The pastoral exhortation calls the church to remain vulnerable before God, receive protection without pity, and let tenderness become the path to victory.

Is This a Sin or Not?

ROM.14.1

Is This a Sin or Not?

May 19, 2026 at 12:00 AM

HEB.10.23

Don't Drop Your Hope

May 17, 2026 at 12:00 AM

Keep Hoping

ROM.4.18-ROM.4.24

Keep Hoping

May 17, 2026 at 12:00 AM

Abraham’s faith becomes a model for hope that remains when circumstances provide no natural reason to expect change. The message calls believers to look beyond current reality, refuse paralysis by delay, and draw strength from God’s character.

This Is How I Love You

ISA.49.13-ISA.49.16

This Is How I Love You

May 10, 2026 at 12:00 AM

Finding the Real Mother

1KI.3.16-1KI.3.27

Finding the Real Mother

May 10, 2026 at 12:00 AM

Mother’s Day teaching from Solomon’s judgment calls the church to recognize motherhood as love, sacrifice, and protection—not status, perfect circumstances, or biology alone.

Who's Eating Me?

MAT.4.18-MAT.4.23

Who's Eating Me?

May 5, 2026 at 12:00 AM

Bishop Jeffrey Johnson teaches practical personal evangelism through transparency, transformation, and testimony. Believers are called to become “salty” witnesses who share Jesus naturally in everyday relationships.

HOPE: A Bold Prayer

1CH.4.10

HOPE: A Bold Prayer

May 3, 2026 at 12:00 AM

Using the prayer of Jabez, Elder Tvaris Parker presents hope as a posture of bold prayer: humbly asking God, opening to enlargement, pursuing God’s presence, and expecting God’s protection and purpose.

Tomorrow About This Time

2KI.7.1

Tomorrow About This Time

May 3, 2026 at 12:00 AM

“Tomorrow about this time.” From 2 Kings 7:1, Bishop Stafford Peterson follows Elisha’s word in Samaria’s famine and calls listeners to move from bitterness and brokenness toward the possibility of change.

April 2026

Remember

LUK.24.9-LUK.24.32

Remember

April 26, 2026 at 12:00 AM

After the resurrection, Jesus’ followers struggled to believe what he had promised. This lesson calls the church to remember God’s word, refuse to shrink God to the size of past pain, and return to Scripture when faith grows weary.

Seeing What You Already Believe

NUM.13.26-NUM.13.33

Seeing What You Already Believe

April 26, 2026 at 12:00 AM

The final Mind Games message confronts confirmation bias through the twelve spies’ report. Believers are called to clear fear-filled assumptions, stop comparison, and see God’s promises through faith.

From Despair to Resurrected Hope: The Building of Bold Faith

LUK.24.13-LUK.24.35

From Despair to Resurrected Hope: The Building of Bold Faith

April 19, 2026 at 12:00 AM

1SA.16.1-1SA.16.13

Look at It Again

April 12, 2026 at 12:00 AM

God’s choice of David challenges the bias that mistakes outward appearance for divine purpose. The message calls believers to revisit what they dismissed and learn to see as God sees.

March 2026

BoldMovesin

DAN.6.1-DAN.6.23

Bold Moves in Captivity

March 29, 2026 at 12:00 AM

Daniel’s faithful life in captivity became a witness that reached beyond him. The message calls believers to keep praying, keep their integrity, and intercede for others whether they are inside a struggle or standing alongside someone in one.

Bold Moves in Captivity

DAN.1.1-DAN.1.17

Bold Moves in Captivity

March 29, 2026 at 12:00 AM

Daniel shows that a difficult season does not require compromise. God can use a place of captivity to form integrity, deepen discipline, and grow wisdom and favor.

GetOutof

Matthew 14:22-33 (NLT)

Get Out of the Boat

March 22, 2026 at 8:00 AM

Concluding the “bold moves” series, the message teaches that real faith takes intentional risk—often beginning in “divine disorder.” Jesus may send believers into storms to stretch them, reveal new dimensions of who he is, and trigger faith to step out of comfort and into God’s “adventure.” Like Peter, believers are called to respond to Jesus’ simple permission—“Come”—and take steps toward him even when wind and waves remain.

Generous Enough To Forgive

Matthew 18

Generous Enough To Forgive

March 21, 2026 at 8:00 PM

The generosity theme reaches its sharpest personal application here. In Matthew 18, forgiveness is framed as a form of release: releasing offense, releasing the demand for repayment, and refusing to keep yourself imprisoned by someone else’s debt.

ALifeThat

Hebrews 13:5-6, 15-16

A Life That Pleases God

March 15, 2026 at 8:00 AM

Week 4 of “The Generous Life” teaches that a life that pleases God isn’t performative or occasional; it’s generosity as a lifestyle. From Hebrews 13, the speaker calls the church to live with contentment (not loving money), to trust God’s presence (“I will never fail you”), and to practice sacrificial generosity—doing good, sharing with those in need, and offering continual praise as worship.

Grace That Gives

Acts 20:32-35

Grace That Gives

March 7, 2026 at 7:00 PM

This sermon presents grace as active power, not sentimental language. In Acts 20 and 2 Corinthians 9, Bishop Hill shows that grace should make believers determined, disciplined, cheerful, and generous in every part of life, not only in money.

The Bigger Blessing

Acts 20:35

The Bigger Blessing

February 28, 2026 at 7:00 PM

The March generosity series opens by redefining blessing through Acts 20:35. Receiving is good, but the bigger blessing comes when believers live generously enough to support the weak, cover others, and make room for God's fuller activity in their lives.
