In this message, Pastor James Epperly shares “Give Heaven Something to Work With.”

God’s house is not just a place we attend — it is a place where heaven touches earth. When we gather as the household of God, the atmosphere matters. Our worship matters. Our unity matters. Our words matter.

Teaching from Ephesians 2, Genesis 28, John 1, Hebrews 1, and Psalm 103, this message reminds us that angels respond to the voice of God’s Word, not our fear, worry, criticism, or complaint. If we want heaven’s activity in our lives, our homes, and the house of God, we must give heaven something to work with.

This sermon will challenge you to guard your mouth, guard the atmosphere, speak the Word of God, and release faith instead of fear.

n this message from our House Rules series, Pastor James Epperly shares a powerful word called “Can You See It?”

The house of God is not just a place we attend — it is a dwelling place for God and a gateway where heaven touches earth. But the question is: can we see what heaven has already said?

Teaching from Ephesians 2, Genesis 28, and Ephesians 1, Pastor James shows how Paul could sit in a prison cell and still see from heaven’s perspective. His body was bound, but his spirit was not. Paul prayed that believers would receive the spirit of wisdom and revelation, that the eyes of their understanding would be opened, and that they would know the power of God working toward them.

This message will challenge you to stop living only by what you see in the natural and begin seeing from heaven’s verdict. If it has a name, Jesus is above it. And if it is under His feet, it is under our feet.

In Day 4 of this Good Morning LIVE series, No Turning Back, Pastor James Epperly teaches from Ephesians 6:10–18 on what spiritual warfare really is and how believers are called to stand.

Spiritual warfare is not about fear, weirdness, or blaming the devil for everything. But the Bible is clear: every disciple is in a real spiritual battle. Our fight is not against people, but against spiritual darkness, deception, temptation, division, and the schemes of the enemy.

This message will help you understand how to be strong in the Lord, put on the armor of God, walk in truth, stay rooted in the Word, pray with perseverance, and stand firm without turning back.

If you have felt discouraged, distracted, tempted, or spiritually weary, this teaching will encourage you to stop fighting in your own strength and stand in the victory of Jesus.

In Day 3 of this Good Morning LIVE series, No Turning Back, Pastor James Epperly teaches from Luke 14:25–33 on the cost of following Jesus.

Jesus never preached a cost-free Christianity. He called His disciples to count the cost, carry the cross, and follow Him with full surrender. This message is a call to move beyond casual faith and recognize that obedience, holiness, and spiritual faithfulness will cost us something.

But while following Jesus has a cost, not following Him costs far more. Compromise has a cost. Drifting has a cost. Silence has a cost. Prayerlessness has a cost. Jesus is worth everything we surrender.

If you are ready to follow Jesus with courage, clarity, and no turning back, this teaching will challenge and encourage you to put Him first, count the cost, and keep going.

In Day 5 of this Good Morning LIVE series, No Turning Back, Pastor James Epperly teaches from Matthew 5:13–16 on Jesus’ call for His people to be salt and light in the world.

Jesus never called His Church to survive quietly in a corner. He called us to shine. This message is about living with courage, conviction, compassion, and everyday faithfulness in a world that desperately needs the hope of the Gospel.

Being salt and light does not mean becoming angry, political first, or constantly outraged. It means refusing to hide our faith, standing in truth, loving people well, serving faithfully, and pointing others to our Father in heaven.

If you have wondered how to live faithfully in these times, this teaching will encourage you to stop hiding, let your light shine, and follow Jesus with no turning back.

In Day 2 of this Good Morning LIVE series, No Turning Back, Pastor James Epperly teaches from 1 Chronicles 12:32 and Matthew 16:1–3 on what it means to understand the times and know what God is calling His people to do.

This message is a call to move beyond simply knowing the headlines and begin walking in real spiritual discernment. We can be informed and still not be discerning, aware and still not be anchored, awake and still unsure how to respond.

God is calling His people to live with clarity, courage, humility, and obedience in this generation. Like the sons of Issachar, we need to understand the times and know what faithfulness looks like right now.

If you have felt overwhelmed by the noise of the world, this teaching will encourage you to stay rooted in Scripture, close to Jesus, and faithful to your assignment with no turning back.

In this special Good Morning LIVE celebration episode, Pastor James Epperly shares the exciting news that The Pioneer Channel has increased in viewership by over 4,000% in the last two weeks — and takes a moment to give God the glory for the open doors, increase, and lives being reached.

But this teaching is more than a celebration. It is an encouragement to not despise small beginnings, to stay faithful in hidden seasons, and to remember that when God breathes on something, increase can come faster than expected.

Behind every view is a person. Behind every screen is a story. And behind every open door is an opportunity to tell the story of Jesus every way possible.

If Good Morning LIVE and The Pioneer Channel have encouraged you, prayerfully consider becoming a Pioneer Media Partner and helping us carry the Gospel farther.

In Day 8 of this Good Morning LIVE series through the Gospel of Mark, Pastor James Epperly teaches from Mark 1:35 on the rhythm of solitude in the life of Jesus.

Before Jesus faced the crowds, He met with the Father. Before He responded to pressure, He prayed. This teaching reminds us that the public power of Jesus flowed from private intimacy with the Father — and if we want the life of Jesus, we must adopt the rhythms of Jesus.

If your life has felt busy, spiritually drained, or out of rhythm, this message will encourage you to recover the hidden place, make room for prayer, and plug back into the true source of strength.
