Much Fruit — Pastor Jason Sharp

Jesus said, “I am the vine, ye are the branches.”

A branch cannot produce fruit apart from its source—and neither can we.

Teaching from John 15 and Galatians 5, Pastor Jason Sharp explains that the fruit of the Spirit is not our religious activity or everything we've accomplished for God. Spiritual fruit is what God's Spirit produces in us as we remain connected to Christ.

And if we want more fruit, we must also be willing to be pruned.

Through biblical teaching, Pentecostal history and a very relatable trip to McDonald's, Pastor challenges us to surrender attitudes, bitterness, unforgiveness and self-focus so others can see the fruit of Christ in our lives.

Fruit takes time.

Stay connected to the Vine.

Let God keep working.

And bear much fruit.

The Language of Faith — Pastor Jason Sharp

The twelve spies in Numbers 13 saw the same Promised Land, the same giants and the same obstacles—but they did not speak the same language.

In this message, Pastor Jason Sharp identifies two forms of unbelief: “I can’t” and “I’ll do it myself.” Though they sound completely different, both focus on self instead of God.

Through Joshua and Caleb, Israel’s disobedience, biblical teaching on submission, and the persistent widow of Luke 18, Pastor challenges believers to trust what God has spoken, obey His direction and keep praying when the promise has not yet been fulfilled.

If God said it, believe it.

Pray again.

And remember:

We are well able.

Sermon #1611 — This Is War

Pastor Jason Sharp teaches from John 10:10, 1 John 3, and several New Testament warfare passages about the reality of spiritual conflict and the believer’s identity in Christ.

The message challenges Christians to recognize what is at stake without becoming fearful or obsessed with the enemy.

Pastor emphasizes prayer, righteousness, spiritual strength, resistance to temptation, generational faithfulness, connection to the church body, and confidence in the victory of Jesus.

The sermon moves from the question, “What are you willing to lose?” to the declaration, “I’m on the advance. I’m not on the defense.”

• The enemy’s agenda is described as stealing, killing, and destroying.

• Spiritual compromise should not be treated casually.

• Spiritual warfare is not physical warfare.

• The battle often targets faith and identity.

• The consequences of spiritual choices can influence generations.

• Prayer can begin with structure and grow into relationship.

• Spiritual strength can continue growing even as natural strength declines.

• Believers should not build identity around their past.

• Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil.

• Believer confidence is rooted in Christ’s victory.

• Spiritual weapons are not carnal.

• Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.

• Victory is rooted in the blood of Jesus.

• Testimony is part of overcoming.

• Prayer is a way believers fight for their families.

• The final posture is not fear—it is faith, resistance, and advance.

Sermon #1610 — Vision Revival

Pastor Jason Sharp continues his series on revival in the Book of Acts with a message about vision, courage, obedience, harvest, and multiplication.

Using Acts 16 and Acts 18, Pastor shows how God gave Paul direction through visions—and how Paul immediately acted on what God revealed.

The message challenges believers not merely to desire purpose, but to put prayer, fasting, discipline, courage, and movement behind the vision God has given them.

Pastor also shares significant moments from his own calling journey and Calvary’s spiritual history, including previous words, dreams, multiplication vision, and present growth.

The sermon concludes with a call for Calvary to become faithful stewards of what God has shown the church and to move boldly whenever the Holy Ghost gives direction.

Sermon #1609 — Combat Proven And Chosen For A Purpose

Rev. Earnest Alexander teaches from Joshua 1 about courage, calling, testing, endurance, spiritual alignment, and surrender.

Using military illustrations and his own testimony of addiction, brokenness, grief, pain, and transformation, Rev. Alexander challenges believers not to mistake testing for disqualification.

The battle you have survived may become part of the testimony God uses to reach someone else.

The message asks believers to remain aligned with their assignment, stay connected to spiritual family, allow God to become their strength under pressure, and give Him their yes.

The service closes with a call to repentance, the Holy Ghost, baptism in Jesus’ name, healing, deliverance, and renewed surrender.

Sermon #1608 — Angelic Revival

Pastor Jason Sharp teaches from Acts 10 about Cornelius, Peter, divine preparation, angelic intervention, Holy Ghost revival, miracles, evangelism, and the supernatural orchestration of outreach.

Cornelius is already seeking God before Peter knows he exists. An angel directs him toward Peter while God simultaneously prepares Peter through prayer, vision, and the Spirit.

The result is a divinely arranged encounter where Peter opens his mouth, preaches Jesus, and watches the Holy Ghost fall on an entire Gentile household.

This message challenges believers to pray, listen, go, speak with faith, and trust that God may already be preparing the person on the other side of the encounter.

Loving the Master — Pastor Jason Sharp | Sermon #1607

Why do we obey God?

In Loving the Master, Pastor Jason Sharp uses the servant of Exodus 21 to contrast a performance-based relationship with God with one built on love.

The servant willingly gives his ear to his master because he has made a choice: “I love my master.”

Pastor teaches that God's love cannot be earned through ministry accomplishments, church attendance, soul winning, Bible studies, or spiritual performance. His love is unconditional, eternal, perfect, and empowering.

But knowing we are loved does not remove obedience—it transforms its motivation.

We don't obey to earn love.

We obey because of love.

This message also explores servant leadership, family responsibility, submission, spiritual authority, calling, faith, and the confidence that comes from understanding how deeply God loves us.

Sermon #1606 — What’s a Soul Worth?

Pastor Jason Sharp asks believers to reconsider what they truly value.

Beginning in 1 Peter 1 and Matthew 16, he contrasts the temporary value of earthly possessions with the eternal value of a soul. The message explores faith under trial, spiritual brokenness, Kingdom stewardship, soul winning, labor, and intentional prayer.

Pastor then challenges the church to move beyond generic prayers into sequential, specific, strategic prayers that identify the next soul, the next opportunity, and the next act of obedience.

When what is valuable to God becomes valuable to us, the way we pray changes.

After Stephen’s death, persecution scattered the early church throughout Judea and Samaria—but the believers who were scattered continued preaching the Word.

Pastor Jason Sharp teaches from Acts about how circumstances that appear to disrupt God’s work can actually become part of how He advances it. Philip’s ministry in Samaria shows the gospel crossing cultural boundaries, while Saul’s transformation demonstrates that even someone once known as an enemy can become a brother.

As Calvary prepares to reach new people, Pastor challenges the church to become “comfortable being uncomfortable,” make room for people from different backgrounds, and welcome returning sons and daughters with grace.

Key Takeaways

• God’s mission may require movement beyond comfortable environments.
• Persecution scattered believers but also spread the gospel.
• We may not like the way God advances His church.
• Opposition cannot automatically be interpreted as failure.

• Ordinary outreach tools can become extraordinary moments in someone’s story.
• Revival requires making room for the people God sends.

Pastor Jason Sharp teaches through Colossians on knowing and walking in the will of God. Paul’s prayer for believers to be filled with spiritual wisdom and understanding becomes the foundation for a practical message about grace, obedience, renewed thinking, spiritual fruitfulness, stewardship, holiness, forgiveness, and maturity.

God’s will is not meant to remain inaccessible or mysterious. Through His Word and Spirit, believers can learn to think differently, walk worthy of the Lord, bear fruit, and follow God’s direction in every area of life.

• Money is a resource, not a savior.

• Believers must put off sinful desires and worldly thinking.

• The new man must think differently from the old man.

• Mercy, kindness, humility, forgiveness, love, and peace are evidence of the renewed life.

• Where God is leading requires dependence on the Holy Ghost, not human wisdom.
