Mannahouse Sunday Messages

Why do so many believers struggle to step into prosperity? Pastor Asim lists twelve reasons this may be the case, but in this message he focuses on the reason that they may not have sacrificially sowed financial seed. One of the great paradoxes of our faith is that what seems like loss in the natural world is actually gain in God's Kingdom. Sacrificial giving is an opportunity for believers to worship, deepen their trust in the God who can make all things possible, reflect God's character, and partner with God's mission.

God wants His people to be prosperous, living in purpose, significance, and joy. He also knows a life of significance is inseparable from a life of giving, so He empowers His people by His grace to be generous. Grace-empowered giving is all about grace and joy, is a crucial part of our spiritual transformation, is never an obligation, and positions prosperous people to plant seeds that will produce fruit in the lives of people for whom Jesus died. In this message, Pastor Derrill encourages listeners that they are graced to give!

In this message, Pastor Derrill walks listeners through biblical financial management foundations, encouraging listeners to recognize God as their source, be grateful, invest faithfully, keep good records, plan spending, and enjoy what they have. Surrender to Jesus transforms beliefs, and transformed beliefs change behavior so that people can be prosperous in the way God intends, living according to the Kingdom-culture norms, and enjoying the abundance God provides.

What is tithing? With a heart that desires for all to be prosperous according to a biblical definition and to break free the spirit of the age which serves money, Pastor Derrill answers this crucial question. Drawing from Malachi 3:6–12, he demonstrates how tithing is a test; is biblical; is a sacred tenth; and is a blessing. Listeners will be encouraged to realign their hearts and priorities to God's design and purpose for their lives, taking steps to press into God, His Word, and His promise, and breaking into a realm of blessing promised in God’s Word from Genesis to Revelation!

Poverty out. Prosperity in. This is the discipleship journey we are on. We are getting old, wrong, worldly thinking out and replacing it with the heaven’s viewpoint on money and things. In this sermon, Pastor Derrill draws clear distinctions between poverty thinking and prosperity thinking and, using scripture as a guide, identifies a biblical definition of "work." Listeners will come to understand how work is connected to worship and how they can ensure that their work is an act of worship.

In this second message of the series "Prosperous People," Pastor Asim expounds on Luke 13:6–9 and Genesis 2 to demonstrate how life in the Kingdom, likened to gardening, turns barren, empty spaces into fruitful places where Kingdom People can cultivate the ground and prosper. Listeners will be encouraged to embrace biblical stewardship and opportunity-thinking characteristic of life in the Kingdom.

In this first sermon of the series "Prosperous People," Pastor Derrill shares his heart for the people of Mannahouse to be prosperous according to a biblical definition. With a focus on Luke 13:6–9, he defines prosperity, identifies prosperous people, and exposits four district truths which lay the groundwork for becoming a Prosperous People.

In this closing message of the series "Your Kingdom First," Pastor Derrill encourages listeners to recognize that moments of loss and pain are holy opportunities to cultivate holy hunger; evaluate the longings of their soul and align them to God's kingdom; encounter God's unfailing love every day; and stir up and normalize spiritual passion. He challenges Mannahouse to dial up the spiritual hunger in our church to match our passion to the zeal God has for us––undomesticated, fully alive, and awakened!

Do I believe God cares for me? Do I believe He has stored up goodness for me? Is God really who He says He is? Ultimately, everyone must answer these questions. Matthew 6:33 offers both instruction for living out our belief in God and a promise of provision. In this message, Pastor Derrill encourages those who struggle with the instruction and worry about the promise, assuring listeners that although God's provision doesn't always come in ways we like, expect, or initially recognize, believers can still seek God first, enjoy renewed perspective in His presence, and know God as their ultimate provider.

Continuing in this series "Your Kingdom First," Pastor Derrill examines Matthew 6 to discover principles about seeking first God's righteousness. He encourages listeners with the truth that righteousness is a gift, not a work; that it transforms our identity, leading to holiness and obedience; and that it restores both our fellowship with God and our relationships with others. Today is the day you can receive God's righteousness!
