Going higher in God isn't about earning a new level — it's about a change in desire. In this episode, we walk through Scripture to explore what it means to answer God's invitation to "come up here," and why that call requires a real shift in the soul.

We look at the contrast between Zacchaeus, who climbed a tree just to see Jesus, and the rich young ruler, who couldn't let go of what he had. We talk about the friends who carried a paralyzed man through a roof just to get him in front of Jesus — and what that kind of persistence costs. And we close with a look at humility and revival, and why God draws near to those who are willing to lower themselves.

How can you tell if someone truly belongs to God? By their willingness to listen to His truth. 👂

Pastor Tod unpacks what it means to know the Spirit of truth versus the spirit of deception (1 John 4:4-6), centered on one question: What gives Jesus the right to say, "I am the way, the truth, and the life"? (John 14:6)

He's the Son of God (Hebrews 1:1-4), born of a virgin (Matthew 1:18-23), and the fulfillment of prophecy (Isaiah 7:14). God's Word is truth, Jesus is the Truth, and the Holy Spirit guides us into all truth (John 14:15-17, John 16:13-14) — but truth demands a response. Like the rich young ruler and Peter, we each choose whether to walk away or follow. Abide in His word, and that truth sets you free. (John 8:31-32) ✝️

Transition isn't something to survive, it's something to triumph through! In this message, we discover that God never wastes His words, and when He speaks into a season of change, it's worth leaning in with everything you have.

Transition demands something from us: transformation, obligation, declaration, and operation. If you're in a season of transition right now, this message will show you that God isn't just taking you through it — He's taking you somewhere.

The fire is still there — but is it burning? In this message, we take an honest look at what it means to suppress the Holy Spirit. You haven't lost Him — but there's a difference between the Spirit indwelling you and the Spirit filling you. We'll walk through the signs of a suppressed believer, why it happens, and the practical steps to get refilled. A Spirit-filled life is the life God intended for you — don't settle for anything less.

📖 Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 | 1 Thessalonians 5:19 | Ephesians 4:30-32 | John 7:37-39 | Ephesians 5:18-21

We settled it last week — God is for you. But here's the follow-up question that changes everything: are you for God? In Part 2 of this series, we dig into what pure and undefiled religion actually looks like according to James and Jesus — not rituals, not impressions, not performance — but mercy, love, steadfast faith, and a heart fully devoted to God. If your pursuit of God has grown cold, this message is your invitation to come back to your first love.

📖 Key Scriptures: Romans 8:31-32 | James 1:27 | Matthew 22:37-40 | Revelation 2:4-5 | Luke 9:23-25

If God is for you — and He is — then nothing that stands against you can conquer you. In this message, we dig into Romans 8 and answer the question every believer needs to settle: how do I know God is actually for me? From His limitless love to His everlasting commitment, His proven faithfulness to His never-ending provision, the evidence is overwhelming. Stop answering questions about your future from your past — God is for you, and that changes everything.

📖 Key Scriptures: Romans 8:31-32 | Romans 8:28 | Philippians 1:6 | Ephesians 3:20-21 | John 5:1-9

God didn't wait until you got it together to come after you — He made the first move while you were still His enemy. In this message, we look at what reconciliation really is, what it cost, and what it looks like through the story of the lost sheep. Christ accomplished the reconciliation. Now He's given us the message, the foundation, and the urgency to share it with everyone around us.

📖 Key Scriptures: Romans 5:8-11 | Luke 15:1-7 | 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 | John 3:16 | 2 Corinthians 6:1-2

Above every virtue, every fruit, every value — love must be supreme. In this message, we explore why love is the command that holds everything else together, why it's not optional for the believer, and what it practically looks like to love even your enemies. Unity in the body of Christ doesn't happen by accident — it happens when every believer chooses to put on love and refuses to take it off.

📖 Key Scriptures: Colossians 3:14 | John 13:34-35 | Luke 6:27-36 | Romans 13:8-10 | 1 Peter 4:8

Worry is just doubt in disguise — and it will gladly fill every space in your heart that faith leaves empty. In this message, we look at what Jesus actually said about worry, why it's incompatible with faith, and how unchecked anxious thoughts quietly become false beliefs over time. The good news? Worry never has to win. When your focus shifts to God, worry loses its opportunity.

📖 Key Scriptures: Matthew 6:25-34 | Romans 12:2 | Hebrews 11:1 | Colossians 3:1-2 | 1 Kings 18:26-29

A divided world desperately needs a united Church. In this message, we explore what it means for the body of Christ to truly fit together — not by accident, but by design. Jesus prayed for our unity, and that prayer still matters today. When each part does its own special work and submits to Christ as the head, the whole body becomes healthy, growing, and full of love. Unity isn't optional — it's the witness we give to the world.

📖 Key Scriptures: Ephesians 4:16 | John 17:21-23 | Matthew 12:25 | Amos 3:3 | Habakkuk 2:2-3
