What does it mean to be a true minister unto the Lord? In this sermon, Pastor Kevin Ortiz contrasts two women who anointed Jesus to show the difference between seeking a blessing and offering pure devotion. Learn how practicing praise, worship, prayer, and instant obedience aligns your heart to minister directly to God so He can touch lives through you.

What to Do When You Don't Know What to Do

When you don't know what to do, get to Jesus. He is faithful, He hears your cry, and He knows what you need. Through faith, prayer, and worship, you can find His help, peace, and rest. Even when you feel weak, the Holy Spirit is there to help you.

Humble yourself before God, seek Him, worship Him, and listen and obey. Trust in the Lord, because when you call on Him, He will hear you.

There a Cloud Over Your Life?

In Exodus 33:8–17, we see how God’s presence led, protected, and guided the Israelites. Just as God was with them, the Holy Spirit leads us today. His presence sets us apart and helps us follow His purpose for our lives.

Learn how to welcome His presence, follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, and worship God alone. When God is with you, others will see His goodness through your life.

In this message, we learn that God can use ordinary people to do extraordinary things. We are like jars of clay carrying a great treasure, but the power and glory belong to God.

Come hungry and ready to grow deeper in God, discover His plans, and experience His power and glory.

In this message, we learn that the joy of the Lord is our strength. Nehemiah 8 shows us how God brought joy and restoration to His people after a season of loss and rebuilding.

Our happiness can change with what happens around us, but true joy is rooted in who we are in Christ. God’s love, Word, salvation, covenant, Spirit, and Kingdom are gifts that no one can take away.

Even in difficult seasons, we can rejoice because God is faithful. His joy gives us strength and reminds us of all that He has restored.

The Gift of Faith

In this message, we learn about the four types of faith and the special gift of faith given by the Holy Spirit.

The gift of faith is given by God for a specific moment or purpose. Through Paul’s experience in Acts 27, we see how faith can bring courage, encouragement, and help to others.

What are you believing God for? In this powerful message, “Ask and You Will Receive,” we are reminded that God wants us to bring our requests before Him with faith, confidence, and thanksgiving.Jesus said in Mark 11:23–24 that when we pray, we must believe and not doubt. God invites us to make our petitions known to Him, trusting that He is our Provider, Healer, Guide, and Helper.

JUST SHOW UP: VICTORY BELONGS TO THE LORDWhat do you do when you find yourself trapped between the Red Sea and the enemy coming after you? Sometimes the greatest instruction God gives us is simple: Just show up. Don’t quit. Stand in faith and trust Him.In Exodus 14, Israel found themselves facing an impossible situation. Moses told the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord,” because the Lord will fight for you. God had already made a way, even when they could not see one.This message reminds us that the battles we face are real, but victory belongs to the Lord. Whether you are fighting to provide for your family, raise your children, build your future, serve in ministry, overcome adversity, or simply keep moving forward, God has called you to stand in faith.Recorded on 08.30.2026

What does it mean to have the mind of Christ? In 1 Corinthians 2:12–16, Paul teaches that as believers, we have received the Spirit of God so that we can know the things God has freely given us. While the natural mind cannot understand the things of God, the believer has been given access to God’s wisdom and truth through the Holy Spirit: “We have the mind of Christ.”

Being born again gives us a new heart and changes the direction of our lives, but our minds must continually be renewed by the Word of God. The mind is the decision center—it receives thoughts, the heart filters them, and our decisions ultimately determine our actions. Through God’s Word and the Holy Spirit, we can learn to recognize thoughts that are contrary to God’s will and bring them into obedience to Christ.

Discover how renewing your mind, filling your heart with God’s Word, and walking in the Spirit can help you live with the Mind of Christ and experience the peace, freedom, healing, and perfect will of God for your life.
