When God accomplishes His purposes on earth, He works through people who are yielded to Him. When He was determined to set the children of Israel free from slavery in Egypt, God called Moses at the burning bush. Moses struggled to say yes to this overwhelming assignment, but a whole nation was waiting on the other side of his obedience.

In this message, I share how our steps of obedience impact our destiny and the lives of others. As we yield ourselves to the Lord and follow His voice, our yes to Him will bless others and have a ripple effect into eternity!

While all believers are indwelt with the Holy Spirit, there is a difference between being indwelt with the Spirit and being empowered by the Spirit. We are called to continually be filled with the Holy Spirit and should always be asking for more.

In this message, I share on the importance of persistence in asking for more of the Holy Spirit. We ask for more, not so that we can feed ourselves, but so that we can give to those who are in need!

Scripture makes it clear that while we are on earth, we are in the midst of a spiritual battle. Paul reminded the Ephesians that “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12) The same remains true for the church today.

There is a spiritual battle raging over our society and nation, and many of the ways that we see the powers of darkness at work coincide with the workings of the spirit of Jezebel. In this message, I teach about the history of Jezebel in the Bible and address the main areas through which this spirit is often at work which include opposition to the true prophetic voice of God, sexual immorality, witchcraft, and idolatry.  If we want to see the kingdom of light advance in the earth, we must be willing to engage in the battle we are in and keep our eyes on our victorious King!

There is a tendency in the church to only know God as the I WAS and as the I WILL BE, but we need to also know Him as the I AM. It is easy to dwell on what God has done in the past and believe Him for what He will do in the future, but it is faith that is needed to believe God to move now. And this faith cannot be conjured up or created in a moment. It is only born out of consistent, authentic relationship with God.

In this message, I preach out of John 11 where Martha only knew Jesus as the I WILL BE as she wrestled through Lazarus’s death. As we prioritize our relationship and intimacy with the Father, we will grow in the faith that is needed to know God as I AM.

Jesus said that the broad way leads to destruction and the narrow way leads to life (see Matthew 7:13-14). While we are saved by grace, the Christian life is not an easy journey. As believers, we are called to go against the grain of the world around us. In this message, I share about the narrow path that Jesus calls his followers to and how this applies to various aspects of the Christian life.

We are living in a time when the church is in desperate need of revival. We can no longer afford business as usual but must go all in to see an awakening in this hour.

In this message, I defined what revival is, why we must have revival, and how we can cooperate with the Lord to see His Spirit poured out. The cost of revival is great, but the cost of not having revival will be greater!

I recently preached a weighty message called Embracing God’s Judgments. It is critical that we see God as Father, but also as Creator and Judge. His judgments are good and necessary.

What does the judgment of God mean? How does this apply to our lives? How is judgment connected to revival and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit? Preaching from Malachi 3, I share on the importance of embracing God’s judgments and His refining fire!

When Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River before starting His ministry, the Bible says that the “heavens were opened to Him.” (Matthew 3:16). What is an open heaven? How can we see the heavens opened in our time?

In this message I share about what it means for the heavens to open and how we can cross over into this reality!

Jesus began His ministry with this message: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). He preached the good news of the Kingdom of God and taught His followers to seek first God’s Kingdom.

The Kingdom of God is meant to have a permeating influence in our lives, but sometimes our religious traditions, family culture, and other influences can be a barrier. Part of maturing in Christ is the ability to honor where we came from while leaving behind the things that do not align with the Kingdom of God.

Check out this message, which includes a time of ministry for deliverance at the end!

We know that Jesus practiced fasting and that He taught His disciples to fast. He expected fasting to be a normal part of our Christian journey, saying “When you fast…” not “If you fast…” (see Matthew 6:16-18).

What is fasting? What is the purpose of fasting? Why would we voluntarily abstain from food? These questions and more are answered in this sermon on the purpose and power of fasting!
