Why does love feel heavier than it should? In this powerful message, Pastor Vernel Samuel opens the Love Like Jesus series by teaching from 1 John 4:7–10 and Romans 5:8, revealing the foundational truth that love did not begin with our effort…it began with God’s initiative. Before you healed. Before you improved. Before you deserved it. He loved you first. If you are still trying to earn love from God, you will make everyone else earn it too. That’s why relationships feel complicated. Insecurity makes love transactional. Grace makes love stable. In this sermon, Vernel Samuel teaches: - Why insecurity makes relationships exhausting - Why unconditional love starts with God - How to stop performing for approval - How to love from security instead of fear You cannot love excellently until you receive grace deeply. This message is part of the Love Like Jesus: The Standard for Every Relationship series at Hungry 4 God Church.

In this Vision Sunday message, Apostle Vernel Samuel challenges the way we think about vision, purpose, and success by calling the church to live from an eternal vision, not just short-term goals or temporary plans. While culture pushes 5-year, 10-year, or even 500-year visions, Scripture reminds us that believers are designed to live with eternity in view. When eternity becomes clear, values shift, sacrifice gains purpose, and discipline becomes meaningful. In this sermon, you’ll discover: Why eternal vision changes how you live today How what you believe about tomorrow shapes your discipline today How grace and eternity anchor a life that rises in true excellence Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:9–10, this message calls believers to build lives that endure, not just impress. This teaching sets the spiritual foundation for the year ahead and prepares the church to rise in excellence with clarity, purpose, and eternal focus. 👉 Listen, reflect, and ask yourself: Am I living for what lasts… or just what’s temporary?

In Week 4 of the Another Jesus series, we uncover The Grace of Jesus and confront one of the most truths to imitating Jesus. If you're not under grace, you're not following Jesus. 

This teaching draws a sharp contrast between how the world, religion, and Jesus operate.

The world runs on judgment.

Through Scripture and revelation, this message shows that grace is not God ignoring sin...it is God stepping in where judgment would normally end the story.

📖 John 1:17

This message will help you break free from striving, self-judgment, and spiritual burnout, and teach you how to live from grace instead of for approval.

If you’ve ever felt like following Jesus meant constantly measuring up, this teaching will change how you see God and yourself.

In this powerful message from the Another Jesus series, Pastor Vernel Samuel confronts one of the greatest obstacles to spiritual transformation today: Distraction Using 2 Corinthians 3:18 in a fire side teaching, Apostle Vernel reveals that we don’t become like Jesus by trying harder, but by beholding Him longer. What we focus on forms us, and whatever holds our attention ultimately shapes our lives.

In “Can You Focus On Me?”, you’ll discover:

Why attention is spiritual currency

How distraction is the enemy’s primary strategy

Why beholding Jesus leads to real, lasting transformation

Practical ways to retrain your gaze and refocus your life on Christ

If you’ve felt spiritually distracted, unfocused, or stagnant, this message will help you realign your heart and return to the real Jesus. 👉Listen prayerfully and ask yourself: What has been forming me more than Jesus?

Excellence is not about talent, personality, or perfection…it’s about alignment. In this powerful message at Hungry 4 God (H4G) Church, Minister Sherrie Licorish teaches how excellence is the natural fruit of a life that is rightly ordered with God.

When alignment is correct, excellence doesn’t have to be chased, forced, or fabricated…it is released. Using Jesus as the ultimate example of what God looks like in a body, this teaching reveals how spiritual alignment produces flow, clarity, fruitfulness, and consistency in every area of life. Misalignment creates strain, burnout, and frustration, but divine alignment unlocks grace, ease, and sustainable excellence. You’ll also learn the 5 key adjustments we must make to bring our lives into proper alignment with God, so His power can flow freely through us in our character, calling, relationships, and purpose.

In this message, you’ll discover:

• Why excellence is a byproduct of alignment, not effort

• How misalignment blocks flow and creates resistance

• Why Jesus is the perfect model of alignment and excellence

• The difference between striving and releasing

• 5 practical adjustments that bring your life back into divine order

If you’ve been striving, pushing, or forcing results, this message will help you realign your life with God’s design and experience the freedom of excellence that flows naturally from His presence.

The Imitation of Jesus isn’t about admiration.

In this message, Apostle Vernel Samuel challenges a form of Christianity that celebrates Jesus without following Him. Drawing from Scripture and the example of the early church, this teaching confronts the gap between inspiration and imitation and calls believers back to real discipleship.

This episode explores:

Why admiration of Jesus is not the same as devotion to Jesus

How modern Christianity often imitates culture instead of Christ

What it truly means to be a disciple as an apprentice, not just a student

Why obedience is the evidence of love for Jesus

How what you follow inevitably forms who you become

This message is a wake-up call for anyone who wants more than church attendance, religious language, or surface-level faith. It’s an invitation to become like the One we claim to follow.

If you’re ready to move from admiration to imitation, this episode is for you.

In the finale service of H4G Church’s SOAR Women’s Conference, Bishop Asia Dos Reis delivers a powerful prophetic message on renewing the mind…not as self-improvement, but as a return to God’s original intent.

This sermon reveals that the fall taught humanity how to disagree with God, but the mind of Christ is a mind that fully agrees with Him. True renewal requires submission, consecration, and sacrifice — and it leads to real transformation.

In this message, you’ll hear about:

• What it truly means to renew the mind according to Scripture

• Why transformation requires purity, holiness, and surrender

• How compromise gives the enemy access to steal your altar

• The power of perspective and “watching to see” like the prophet Habakkuk

• Why belief systems govern behavior

• A prophetic declaration from Isaiah 52:1–6 restoring God’s reputation on our lives

This is not a motivational message — it is a call to holiness, clarity, and alignment. A reminder that nothing changes until the mind agrees with God. 📖 Scriptures Referenced: Romans 12:2 | Philippians 2:5 | Habakkuk 2:1 | Isaiah 52:1–6 🎤 Preached by Bishop Asia Dos Reis 📍 SOAR Women’s Conference – Finale Service 🏛 Hungry 4 God Church (H4G) If this message challenged and strengthened you: 🔔 Subscribe for more prophetic teaching and conference messages

Is it possible to preach Jesus… and still be following the wrong one? In this foundational sermon from the series “Another Jesus,” Pastor Vernel Samuel delivers a prophetic warning to the Church using 2 Corinthians 11:3–4, exposing how subtle deception doesn’t deny Christ...it redefines Him.

This message confronts the modern Church with an uncomfortable but necessary question: Which Jesus are we actually following?

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

How the Church can drift from Christ without realizing it

Why deception is subtle, not sudden

The difference between knowing about Jesus and knowing Him by revelation

The three dominant substitutes the Church tolerates today: 1.) The political Jesus 2.) The historical Jesus 3.) The religious Jesus

Why revelation of Christ is the foundation Jesus builds His Church on This sermon is for: Believers hungry for the real Jesus Leaders seeking depth, not hype Christians tired of watered-down faith Anyone sensing the Church needs a course correction This is not a message about controversy. It’s a call back to devotion, revelation, and imitation of Christ. 📖 Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 11:3–4 | Matthew 16:13–18
