Pastor Alex Pappas

Have you ever wondered why certain temptations seem to follow you wherever you go? In this message, you'll discover how the enemy uses temptation to pull you away from God's purpose and how God has already provided a way for you to overcome. Learn how to recognize the traps of lust, idolatry, sexual immorality, complaining, and unbelief, and find practical biblical keys to walking in victory. No matter what you're facing, you don't have to surrender to temptation. As you submit to God, resist the devil, and flee from compromise, you can protect the destiny God has prepared for your life.

Scripture References:

What is the purpose of speaking in tongues? Why did the Apostle Paul place such importance on praying in the Spirit? In this message, we explore the biblical purpose of tongues, the power of Pentecost, and how praying in the Spirit builds us up, reveals God's mysteries, and helps us walk in His divine purpose.

What happens when we stop seeking God? The story of King Uzziah shows how pride can slowly harden the heart and lead us away from the Lord. In contrast, Isaiah's encounter with God reveals the power of humility, repentance, and the refining fire of God's presence.

There is a real spiritual battle taking place, and the church cannot afford to remain passive. Too many believers are living beneath the authority God has already given them through Jesus Christ.

What if the place you’ve been hiding is the very place grace wants to find you?

In this powerful message, we explore the story of Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel 9 — a man wounded by life, hidden in Lo-debar, and convinced he was forgotten. Yet while he was hiding, the king was searching for him.

This message speaks to anyone carrying pain, shame, rejection, fear, or emotional wounds that shaped how they see themselves. Through the Gospel, we discover that Jesus still invites broken people to the table — not because they earned it, but because covenant made a way.

In this teaching, we talk about:

No matter how far you feel from purpose, hope, or belonging — God has not forgotten your name.

God calls His people to build their lives on the supremacy of His Word, not on feelings, opinions, or circumstances. From the very beginning in the garden, Satan’s strategy has been to distort what God has said, because victory begins with trusting and honoring Scripture. Jesus Himself declared that we live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, showing that God’s Word is our true source of life and strength. When we decree a thing, we are not creating our own judgments, but speaking and agreeing with what God has already written. The Word of God carries creative power, and believers are called to fill their hearts with Scripture so their mouths can speak truth in faith. Through praise, declaration, and obedience, we stand firm in spiritual warfare, not against people, but against spiritual forces. As we declare God’s promises over sickness, opposition, provision, and overwhelming challenges, we can trust that His Word will accomplish what He sends it to do. This is the honor of the saints: to speak what God has said and walk boldly in His established truth.

Do I really need to get baptized? Is it really that important? What if I was sprinkled as a child?

Pastor Alex reminded us of a foundational principle in the Christian life that isn’t as prevalent today. Paul describes the laying on of hands as an elementary principle of our faith, yet many believers don’t know about it or see it practiced in our churches.

Celebrate the power and meaning of the resurrection of Jesus Christ; proof that He is the Son of God and that everything He said is true (Romans 1:2–4). Because He rose, you can have victory over sin, death, and the enemy, and you are no longer bound but empowered to live out your God-given purpose through the same power that raised Him from the dead (Romans 6:4–6; Ephesians 1:17–20). This message is a reminder that the resurrection is the foundation of your faith, giving you purpose for today and unshakable hope for eternity (John 11:25–26).
