The leader in your life is to be honored, not worshiped. Pastor Victoria Powell takes us on a deep and dynamic exploration of spiritual leadership, drawing from the biblical story of Melchizedek and his encounter with Abram.

Faith isn’t belief or hope—it’s assurance. In this message, Dr. Gabe unpacks the true meaning of faith, challenging common misconceptions and encouraging listeners to move beyond hope into the assurance of God’s reality. He explores how faith is not just belief or hope, but the unwavering confidence in God—regardless of circumstance or outcome. 

To live by faith is to possess an unwavering assurance in God’s love, sovereignty, and presence, regardless of circumstances. It is to embrace sacrifice and trust, even when there’s no earthly guarantee. As Pastor Gabriel concludes, the invitation is clear: “At some point in your walk with the Lord… you gotta choose the cross.”

Don’t let social media “preachers” disciple you into poverty. God wants His people living in abundance—financially, spiritually, emotionally, and relationally.

Dr. Gabe challenges us to rethink what abundance truly means—not just in terms of money, but as an all-encompassing spiritual provision. He explores how often, as believers, we fall into the trap of a scarcity mindset, shaped by fear, comparison, and a lack of generosity—sometimes even unintentionally fostered by the teachings we hear.

Dr. Gabe unpacks how God wants us to embrace a life of abundant forgiveness, overflowing grace, and spiritual fulfillment. He also highlights the importance of stewardship, daily dependence on God, and breaking free from selfish patterns that hinder us from living fully in the abundance God intends.

You may be living lukewarm! Dr. Gabe takes us on a deep dive into Jesus’ message to the church of Laodicea, as revealed in the book of Revelation. Unlike the typical fire-and-brimstone sermon, this teaching challenges modern cultural mindsets about wealth, work, and generosity—and their alignment (or misalignment) with kingdom principles.

Dr. Gabe presses us to reconsider our relationship with generosity, shatters the myth of the “prosperity gospel,” and invites us to experience abundance God’s way—not through endless toil or stinginess, but by reclaiming passion, purpose, and trust in God’s provision.
