In this episode of the "Church of Acts: Returning to Power and Presence" series, Pastor Carla and Pastor Kevin deliver a message titled "Healing Through the Eyes of Jesus." Pastor Carla opens by sharing the prophetic significance of Mark 2:22 being a "balm of Gilead"—a sanctuary of rest, peace, and spiritual restoration for those weathered by life's storms.

Pastor Kevin then dives into Mark 2:1–12, Ezekiel 47, and Acts 3, dismantling false doctrines that treat physical and emotional healing as separate from salvation. He reveals that before Jesus healed the paralytic's body, He addressed his identity, calling him "my child". This message challenges the church to stop defining people by their diagnosis, abandon man-made religious systems that stifle the Holy Spirit, and see others through the compassionate, restorative eyes of Christ.

In this episode of the "Church of Acts: Returning to Power and Presence" series, Pastor Kevin delivers a message titled "Worship: The Means By Which We See." Weaving together Ezekiel's prophetic vision of the temple river and Jesus's encounter with the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well, Pastor Kevin reveals how authentic worship is the primary avenue through which God unveils Himself and transforms our spiritual sight.

He breaks down the biblical roots of worshipping in spirit and truth—Proskuneo (posturing oneself in complete submission), Pneuma (surrendering to the untamed wind of the Holy Spirit), and Aletheia (beholding that which is no longer hidden). By warning against the leaven of politics and dead religious tradition, this message calls believers to wade past ankle-deep routines, swim in the deep waters of God's presence, and become living wells that bring revival to dry places.

In this moving installment of the "Church of Acts: Part 3" series, Pastor Kevin delivers a heart-stirring message titled "I See You." Grounded in John 4:1–26, this teaching highlights the intentionality of Jesus, who bypasses cultural barriers and human prejudice to meet an outcast Samaritan woman in her lowest moment.

Pastor Kevin challenges the modern church to stop viewing people through the prism of rigid systems, church programs, or legalistic judgment, and instead view them through the eyes of the Father. Moving from the initial recognition of Christ (oida) into deep, intimate covenant knowing (ginosko), this message calls us to drop our earthly "buckets"—our worldly anxieties and dead traditions—to step into authentic worship in spirit and truth, which is how we continually draw from His well.

In this paradigm-shifting message from "The Church of Acts: Part 2" series, Pastor Kevin challenges the modern church’s focus on systems, programs, and religious activity over genuine relationship. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 3, he reveals that anything built on a foundation other than intimate communion with Jesus Christ will not survive the refining fire of the Holy Spirit.

By closely examining the life of Jesus—His baptism, His constant withdrawal to pray, and His ultimate surrender in the Garden of Gethsemane—Pastor Kevin highlights that we cannot replicate the works of Christ without first adopting the lifestyle of Christ. He issues a bold call to let go of the past, stop settling for "hybrid Christianity," and return to a life of continual abiding.

In this pivotal episode of the "Church of Acts: Part 1" series, Pastor Kevin delivers a timely prophetic word titled "The Spirit of Truth." Acknowledging the heavy spiritual warfare and pressure currently facing the global church, he guides believers on how to navigate deception by yielding completely to the Holy Spirit.

Drawing from John 16, 1 Corinthians 1, and the story of Philip in Acts 8, Pastor Kevin explains that the fire of God is not meant to bring division, but distinction—burning away man-made religious systems and revealing genuine faith. He challenges the modern church’s tendency to idolize denominations and leaders over Christ, calling for an intentional return to the baptism of the Holy Spirit to transform us into walking reflections of God's perfect love.

In this moving message, Pastor Carla shares a deeply personal word titled "When Chains Deliver." Building upon the previous week's call to let go of offense, she tackles a major barrier to spiritual maturity: our desire for fleshly comfort.

Pastor Carla unpacks the Apostle Paul's perspective in Philippians 1, showing how a prison became his pulpit to advance the Gospel. Shifting into the Parable of the Great Banquet in Luke 14, she exposes how everyday blessings—possessions, responsibilities, and relationships—can become excuses that wall us off from true vulnerability and fellowship with the Father. This teaching challenges us to embrace the refining fire of the Holy Spirit, reminding us that we can never fully learn who Jesus is if we refuse to leave our comfort zones.

In this crucial installment of the "Invitation to Glorification" series, Pastor Kevin addresses a foundational obstacle to spiritual maturity: "When Offense Takes Root." Drawing from the core identity of Mark 2:22 as a "place of rest," Pastor Kevin challenges believers to recognize how unprocessed offense can become a subtle form of bondage, leading to striving, anxiety, and a departure from authentic joy and peace.

In this compelling message from the "Invitation to Glorification" series, Pastor Kevin delivers an urgent teaching titled "When You Know, They'll Know." Grounded in Philippians 3:5–16, this sermon unpacks the divine perfecting process that shifts a believer from outward legalism into profound, marital intimacy with Jesus Christ.

Pastor Kevin walks through the Apostle Paul’s flawless religious resume, demonstrating how a genuine encounter with God exposes human achievement as mere "garbage." By contrasting intellectual data with the deep spiritual realities of the Greek concept Ginosko and the Hebrew concept Yada, this message challenges us to crucify self-centered mindsets, reject the corporate gatekeeping of modern religious structures, and step into a unified lifestyle of sacrificial love.

In this episode of the "Church of Acts: Returning to Power and Presence" series, Pastor Kevin delivers a heart-stirring message titled "Invitation to Glorification." Moving beyond traditional sermon structures, he bridges deep theological concepts across Romans 8, Hebrews 11, and 2 Corinthians 3 to challenge how the modern church views spiritual growth.

Pastor Kevin untangles the tension of the "already, but not yet" reality of faith, reminding believers that while salvation is secure, our minds require a continual transformation (metanoia). By removing religious guardrails and completely surrendering control to the Holy Spirit, we shift from merely being "healed" to becoming reflective mirrors that brightly illuminate the glory of Jesus to a waiting world.

In this dynamic episode of the "Church of Acts: Returning to Power and Presence" series, Pastor Carla takes the stage to share a powerful message titled "Testimony." Setting up a special evening of breakthrough testimonies, Pastor Carla connects a prophetic vision from Ezekiel 47 to the sudden miracle at the Beautiful Gate in Acts 3.

She walks us through the spiritual evolution of God's rising river—from ankle-deep alignment to knee-deep intimacy, waist-deep fruitfulness, and finally, a river over our heads where human striving ceases and true rest begins. By examining the encounter between Peter, John, and the crippled man, this message challenges us to break our rigid religious schedules, lock eyes with the Giver rather than just looking for his gifts, and completely surrender to the supernatural flow of the Holy Spirit.
