In this message, Missionary Shane Lehman shares what it truly means to live a life available to the Holy Spirit and to bring the gospel to places where darkness feels overwhelming. Drawing from real-life mission experiences in Oaxaca and beyond, this sermon reminds us that life with God was never meant to be boring—it is meant to be alive, adventurous, and fully surrendered.

Shane challenges believers to examine their availability to the Holy Spirit each day, emphasizing that transformation happens when we stop asking God to bless our plans and instead ask Him what He wants to do. Through stories of salvation in villages, gas stations, taxis, and forgotten places, we see how Jesus brings life where death once ruled.

This message centers on John 10:10 and John 14:6, declaring that Jesus alone is the way, the truth, and the life, and that true abundance is not found in comfort or prosperity but in encounters with God, obedience, and freedom from deception.

You will also hear:

• The call to go where others will not and love people who feel forgotten

• Why idols still exist today, even when they look modern or spiritual

• A fresh perspective on “Doubting Thomas” as Honest Thomas—a disciple willing to die for Jesus

• How God destroys idols not to shame us, but to give us real life

This sermon is a bold reminder that Jesus is enough, that the gospel is still powerful today, and that every believer is invited into a life of purpose, courage, and obedience.

📖 Scriptures referenced include:

John 10:10, John 14:6, Romans 10:14–15, Matthew 24, and more.

In today’s message, Pastor Josh Blair continues our series The Gifts Jesus Brings with the gift of Liberty. Jesus didn’t just come to inspire us, He came to set captives free and proclaim freedom to those who are bound. True liberty is found in Christ, and as we know Him and abide in His Word, we step into the freedom He provides.

We pray this message strengthens your faith and helps you walk in the freedom Jesus came to give.

🎄 The Gift of Light | Pastor Alex | John 1:9–13

This Christmas season, we’re opening up a series on the gifts Jesus brings—and today’s gift is Light. In John 1:9–13, we’re reminded that Jesus came into the world He created… and yet many didn’t recognize Him. Still, to all who believe and receive Him, He gives the right to become children of God.

In this message, Pastor Alex breaks down:

✨ What the Light is (life, truth, God revealed, hope & salvation)

🔎 What the Light does (reveals our true condition, brings real hope, and transforms us into light-bearers)

🔥 How we respond: receive the Light through repentance and faith—and then let that Light shine.

No matter what darkness you’re facing, Jesus doesn’t just tell you “it’ll be okay”—He promises to walk with you through it.

In this final message of our “To Serve” series, we explore how the spiritual discipline of service doesn’t stop at random good deeds or one-off projects—it’s meant to form our hearts to look like Jesus. 

We walk through the four components of a life of service: receiving God’s love, serving in hiddenness, living intentionally and interruptibly, and finally stepping into kinship—taking strangers, turning them into neighbors, and neighbors into family. Drawing from Matthew 20, we see how Jesus flips the idea of greatness upside down: in His kingdom, the greatest is the servant of all. Then in Luke 16, through the story of the rich man and Lazarus, we see how God knows the names and stories of those the world overlooks and calls us not just to help from a distance, but to share life with them.

This message wrestles honestly with the tension: kinship is beautiful, but it’s also risky, messy, and not always predictable. Still, every person we serve is worth it. As we head into seasons like Thanksgiving and beyond, we’re challenged to ask: Who is God inviting me to bring to my table—from stranger to family?

Press play and let the Holy Spirit stir you toward a life of service that looks like Jesus—arms open wide, making room for others in your home, your schedule, and your heart.

In this message, “Called to Serve: Availability”, Pastor Josh unpacks what it means to live a life that’s not just intentional but also interruptible for the sake of others. Service isn’t just a task on a church checklist—it’s a spiritual practice that forms us into the likeness of Jesus. Walking through Jesus’ teaching on the greatest commandment and the parable of the Good Samaritan, we’re challenged to stop asking, “Who is my neighbor?” and start asking, “Who can I become a neighbor to?”

You’ll hear powerful stories—from Jesus stopping for blind men on the roadside to a quiet hospital custodian who secretly cared for the homeless every winter night—that stir our hearts toward “from-the-gut” compassion. This message invites us to examine our spiritual practices, our schedules, and even our reactions under pressure, asking: Do my rhythms with God actually move me toward the hurting, the overlooked, and the strangers on the roadside?

Listen in and be encouraged to live on mission in the ordinary: to pull over, to notice, to serve, and to let God use small, hidden acts of love to bring His kingdom close.

n the closing session of the Spiritual Warfare and Deliverance Conference (October 24–25, 2025), Pastor Khristian Miller delivers a bold and practical teaching on Power and Authority — equipping believers to walk in the same authority Christ has given His church.

This message dives into what it truly means to operate in the power of the Holy Spirit — not through persuasive words or intellect, but through demonstration. Pastor Khristian teaches that deliverance and transformation come when believers move from head knowledge to Spirit-empowered action, learning to exercise the authority that Jesus has already delegated to His people.

Key insights include:

• The difference between power (dunamis) and authority (exousia)

• Understanding that all authority in heaven and earth has been given to Jesus — and now to His followers

• How to exercise authority when confronting spiritual forces

• Why believers must discern between the true and false manifestations of the Holy Spirit

• Practical principles for deliverance and walking in spiritual confidence

• How to minister freedom with faith, humility, and discernment

Pastor Khristian reminds the church that casting out devils is part of the gospel — a demonstration of God’s kingdom breaking into the lives of the broken and bound. Through stories, Scripture, and on-the-job equipping, this session empowers every believer to walk boldly, speak with authority, and partner with the Holy Spirit to bring freedom and transformation.

In week two of our Called to Serve series, Pastor Josh reminds us that true service isn’t about recognition — it’s about humility and love in action. Just as Jesus washed His disciples’ feet, we’re called to serve those closest to us with the same heart — not for applause, but to reflect His character in our everyday lives.

Learn how the ordinary, unseen moments — cooking dinner, helping your family, serving quietly at work — can become acts of worship that shape us to be more like Jesus.

📖 Key Scripture: John 13:1–15

In the closing session of our Spiritual Warfare & Deliverance Conference (October 24–25, 2025), Pastor Khristian Miller leads a powerful and revelatory teaching on the believer’s identity and position in Christ — a vital truth for anyone walking in spiritual authority and freedom.

In this message, Pastor Khristian explains how understanding who you are and where you are positioned spiritually transforms the way you engage in spiritual warfare and deliverance. He emphasizes that true authority doesn’t come from religious ritual but from a heart transformed by intimacy with Jesus.

Through real-life stories and biblical insight, he reveals how knowing your God-given authority silences the enemy’s lies, breaks strongholds, and equips believers to walk confidently in victory.

Key themes include:

• Knowing your authority and identity as a child of God

• Breaking agreement with lies and embracing truth

• The power of revelation vs. head knowledge

• How demons recognize genuine spiritual authority

• Understanding your spiritual position — seated with Christ in heavenly places

• Living in holiness and maturity to maintain victory

This message calls believers to walk boldly as ambassadors of Christ — clothed in His righteousness, filled with His Spirit, and shining His light into the darkness.

Recorded live at Central Valley Church in Madera, CA, Pastor Khristian Miller continued the SPIRITUAL WARFARE & DELIVERANCE Conference (October 24–25, 2025) with a message that cut straight to the heart — revealing how the choices we make can open or close spiritual doors in our lives.

In Session Two: Doors for Demons, Pastor Khristian teaches that demons don’t always need permission — they need participation. Through powerful teaching and Scripture-based insight, he exposes how sin, trauma, unforgiveness, sexual immorality, occult practices, idolatry, and addiction can become gateways the enemy uses to influence believers — and how the blood of Jesus shuts those doors for good.

Topics Covered:

• How participation in sin gives the enemy access

• The spiritual effects of trauma, unforgiveness, and sexual sin

• The dangers of occultism, witchcraft, and false religion

• Freedom from generational curses and addiction

• Living filled with the Holy Spirit to keep the doors closed

This message challenges believers to walk in purity, forgiveness, and spiritual discernment — to become vessels fully occupied by the presence of God.

Recorded live at Central Valley Church in Madera, CA, Pastor Khristian Miller joined us for a powerful two-day conference (October 24–25, 2025) that stirred hearts and opened eyes to the reality of the unseen realm.

In this first session, “Awakening & Awareness of The Unseen Realm,” Pastor Khristian teaches about spiritual warfare and the often-unnoticed battles that affect every believer. With practical insight and biblical depth, he challenges the church to be alert, equipped, and rooted in the victory of Jesus Christ.

From confronting deception in the church to understanding deliverance, fear, and freedom through Christ, this message calls us to live in spiritual awareness and authority.

Key themes include:

• The unseen battle between good and evil

• Recognizing the enemy’s schemes and lies

• Freedom and victory through the cross

• Deliverance and the ministry of casting out devils

• Living empowered by the Holy Spirit

Let this session awaken your spirit and remind you that “where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
