Sermon #1509 – A New Name & an Eternal Covenant

Pastor Jason Sharp | December 14, 2025 | Calvary

Message Overview:

God does not simply forgive sin — He establishes covenant. In this sermon, Pastor Jason Sharp teaches how God changes identity through covenant relationship, giving His people a new name, a new life, and a new future.

Beginning with Abram’s call in Genesis 12, Pastor explains that God’s covenant always involves separation, faith, and obedience — but it also releases blessing and purpose. A name change is never cosmetic; it is prophetic.

Key Themes

1. A Name Change Signals a Destiny Change: When God called Abram, He was calling him out of his past and into covenant promise. God changes names when He intends to change futures.
2. Covenant Requires Separation: 2 Corinthians 6 teaches that covenant relationship requires leaving the old life behind. Separation is not punishment — it is preparation.
3. Jesus Established an Eternal Covenant: Hebrews reveals that through Christ, believers enter a covenant that cleanses the conscience and writes God’s law on the heart. This covenant does not fade or expire.
4. Faith Must Be Held Onto: God’s promises require perseverance. Holding onto faith is how believers walk fully into their new identity.

Why this Message Matters

If you have ever struggled with identity, past sin, or wondering whether God can truly change your life, this message brings clarity and hope. God is not finished with you — He has given you a new name and an eternal covenant.

Sermon #1507 — “Understanding the Will of God for You”

Speaker: Bishop Paul Sharp

Date: December 7, 2025

▶ Message Overview

In this powerful message, Bishop Paul Sharp teaches that the will of God is not mysterious or unreachable — it is connected to what God has already placed in your hands. Using the parable of the talents, Bishop Sharp explains that every believer receives gifts, abilities, and spiritual authority from God. The real question is:

What will you do with what God has given you?

📖 Key Scriptures

• Matthew 25:15 — God gives gifts “according to ability.”
• Mark 13:34 — He gives every man “authority” and “work.”
• 1 Corinthians 12 — Gifts of the Spirit given severally as He wills.

💡 Core Themes

• Spiritual Authority: Every believer receives authority when they receive the Holy Ghost.
• Stewardship: God expects increase. What you don’t use, you will lose.
• Obedience: Growth comes through action — praying, witnessing, laying hands on the sick, stepping out in faith.
• Boldness vs. Pride: Boldness in the Spirit is not arrogance; it is surrender to God’s Kingdom.
• Partnership with God: “You’ve got a say in it!” Your choices and faith affect outcomes.
  

🔥 Why This Message Matters

If you’ve ever wondered what God wants from your life, this message will challenge and guide you. Bishop Sharp shares personal stories of early ministry, spiritual battles, answered prayers, and moments where God confirmed His authority at work.

This is a call to: Rise up. Step in. Use your gift. Walk in His authority.

Your increase begins when your obedience begins.

Sermon #1506 – “YOUR PAST IS NOT THE PROPHET OF YOUR FUTURE”

Pastor Jason Sharp | December 7, 2025 | Calvary OKC

In this message, Pastor Jason Sharp declares a powerful truth: your past does not have the authority to predict your future — only God does. Using Paul’s conversion testimony in Acts 26 and the events surrounding Acts 28, Pastor reveals that God specializes in restoring wasted years, redeeming broken stories, and awakening spiritual purpose.

Your failures are not final. Your history is not your destiny. God writes better endings than what your past implies.

God Restores Wasted Years

Like Paul, many believers carry regret from seasons of rebellion, pain, confusion, or spiritual dormancy. But Pastor taught that God wastes nothing — not even the years we thought were ruined. God restored Paul fully and immediately gave him purpose, mission, and calling. Redemption is God’s specialty.

Paul's Testimony is Our Template

Paul’s past was violent, destructive, and shameful — yet God transformed him into an apostolic leader. Pastor emphasized:

• No one is too far gone.

• No past is beyond God’s reach.

• Your testimony becomes your platform.

Paul became an example of how God can reclaim the most unlikely people for His glory. (Reference: Acts 26 — )

Adversity Prepares Your For Destiny

Paul was shipwrecked, bitten by a viper, falsely accused, and imprisoned — yet none of it stopped the purpose of God. Pastor taught that adversity keeps us humble, dependent, and spiritually awake. Instead of destroying Paul, adversity shaped him. (Reference: Acts 28 — )

Awakening Spiritual Passion

Pastor reminded us that when God restores us, He also reawakens spiritual hunger. Paul was on fire for God precisely because he had experienced grace deeply. Your past pain becomes fuel for future passion.

Your past is not prophetic. Your story is not over. The God who restored Paul will restore you. Step into your future — it’s waiting for you.

Sermon #1505 – “The Mind of Christ” Pastor Jason Sharp | December 3, 2025 | Calvary OKC

What does it mean to truly think like Jesus? In this midweek message, Pastor Jason Sharp teaches that the greatest battles of the believer happen in the mind, not the circumstances. Using 1 Corinthians 2, Colossians 3, and 1 Corinthians 15, he shows how Scripture calls us to put away carnal thinking and embrace a spiritual mindset rooted in the Word of God.

Key Points:

1. The Natural Mind Cannot Grasp Spiritual Reality

From 1 Corinthians 2, Pastor Jason reveals that the natural mind cannot receive the things of God — they must be spiritually discerned. Carnal thinking leads to confusion, while spiritual thinking leads to clarity, identity, and victory.

2. Formation Requires "Put off/Put on"

Colossians 3 teaches a transformational process:

• Kill sinful impulses
• Put off destructive patterns
• Put on mercy, humility, and love

Spiritual maturity isn’t random — it’s intentional.

3. Exercise Your Mind Like a Gym

Pastor Jason explains the Greek concept of gymnasia — exercising the mind. Renewing the mind is not accidental; it requires daily practice, discipline, and reorienting our thoughts toward the things of the Spirit.

4. Set Your Affection on Things Above

The mind is the control center of identity. Setting your affection on things above is not emotional; it’s directional. This daily choice determines your spiritual altitude and the fruitfulness of your walk with God.
