"Oh think twice, ‘cause its another day for you and me in paradise.. “ Phil Collins. Humanity is not doing well here at the end of the age. Jesus come back soon and rescue us! But in the meantime, these two songs have inspired me, motivated me to take another look at how I am living in my “comfort christianity”. What can I do to help this world of broken people.. as addictions, mental illness and spiritual warfare ravages humanity. I suppose I must start with courage in my heart… so I am on a journey to search for more of that. Ah yes, wisdom also I just heard to proceed with wisdom and kindness and courage. The you tube video of Matthew West offered some solutions and was uplifting. My hope and prayer is that this little offering might help you and me make the world a little bit better today.

Back to Basics: Living the Vision in 2026

In this transparent and challenging message, Pastor Mike Jenkins calls the congregation of Springs of Hope to return to the fundamental disciplines of the Christian faith. Sharing his own journey toward healing and his vision for the coming year, Pastor Mike emphasizes that spiritual growth isn't about complex theology, but about the simple, daily disciplines of "breathing and eating"—prayer and the Word.

-- We must align our profession with the Word of God, especially when facing physical infirmity or the "regular ongoing crud" of life.

-- Faith isn't just a feeling; it is the evidence of things not seen and the substance that allows us to stand firm during medical trials and personal testing.

-- The "2211 Plan" is a practical tool for 2026: read two Old Testament chapters, two New Testament chapters, one Psalm, and one Proverb daily to stay spiritually fed.

-- Justification means being seen by God "just as if I’d never sinned," a reality made possible only through the blood of Jesus Christ.

-- Our corporate mission is to seek and save the lost, but our individual vision is how we use our unique spiritual gifts to execute that plan.

-- Private devotion is the priority for spiritual victory; what you put into your relationship with God in the secret place determines what you get out in public.

This teaching explores the mandate for Kingdom advancement, emphasizing that it requires more than religious activity—it requires cultural infiltration and personal transformation. Apostle Otis B. Young uses the biblical example of Ezra to illustrate how the "gracious hand of God" empowers believers to move forward despite opposition and personal struggles.

--

Kingdom advancement is defined as actively spreading God's rule and influence on earth, moving people from darkness to light, and integrating biblical values into society.

--

We are called to infiltrate the culture, not just the church; this means changing world systems and representing Kingdom culture in how we dress, speak, and operate in the marketplace.

--

Using the example of Ezra, we learn the three-step model for spiritual authority: We must Study the Word, Obey the Word, and Teach the Word.

--

Ezra was a priest by blood but a scribe by choice; he chose to be well-versed in the law, and believers today must choose to be "word lovers" who can rightly divide the truth.

--

The "Gracious Hand of God" is on your life not because you are perfect, but to sustain you; it is this grace that keeps us from being consumed by our mistakes and consequences.

--

Believers are called to be "Incubators of the Word," nurturing divine messages and visions in a protected space until they are fully manifested in the earth.

Are we willing to do whatever is required to get people to Jesus? In this transformative message, Pastor Steve Dow unpacks the narrative of the paralytic in Mark 2 to illustrate what true evangelism looks like. It is messy, it disrupts plans, and it often offends religious tradition.

As we look toward exponential growth in 2026, we are reminded that God does not move in straight lines or through stagnant rituals. This teaching moves beyond the "programs" of the past and invites every believer into a daily lifestyle of witnessing—simply sharing what God has done for you.

-- The definition of insanity in the church is doing the same religious routines over and over while expecting a revival; God is calling us to do something different to see different results.

-- True evangelism isn't about reciting a script or knocking on doors with a program; it is a lifestyle of friendship and influence where we introduce people to the Jesus who healed us.

-- Jesus prioritized forgiveness over physical healing because He knew the condition of the heart was the man's deepest need, proving that spiritual restoration unlocks every other blessing.

-- We must be willing to destroy "generational boundaries" and "traditional mindsets" that say we must wait for the right time; the time for the church to rise is now.

-- Your comfort zone is the enemy of your calling; just as the four friends had to climb a roof and dig through dirt, we must push past inconvenience to bring our friends to Christ.

Cheat Code: Own It | Breaking Free from Repeated Patterns

Same struggles, different year. Same issues, different relationship. Why do we keep repeating the same patterns? In week 2 of the "Cheat Code" series, Pastor Ryan tackles the hardest but most essential step to breaking free: owning our part in our past. Using the powerful account of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3, this message explores why we hide, blame, and repeat the same mistakes—and how taking responsibility for our piece of the story can bring the clarity and freedom we've been searching for. From understanding why sin didn't just break our relationship with God but also broke our willingness to take responsibility, to discovering how blame smuggles old issues into new seasons—this teaching will challenge you to ask the question we all avoid: "What was my part?" Whether you've been stuck in cycles of blame or ready to lower the emotional temperature in your life—this message is packed with biblical truth, honest vulnerability, and a kingdom principle that will change everything: The only way to make peace with your past is by owning your piece of your past.

📖 Scripture Reference: Genesis 2:15-17, Genesis 3:8-13, Matthew 5:8

💡 Big Idea: We cannot blame our way into a better future. Blame smuggles our old issues into new seasons. The only way to make peace with your past is by owning your piece of your past.

❤️ Key Quote: "If next time is going to be any different than last time, then you and I have to be willing to own our piece of our past."

(2) Gary Habermas, a NT scholar, theologian, and author, has discovered a total of 39 extra-Biblical sources, which includes 17 non-Christian sources that witness to over 100 details of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.

Rom. 10:9-10 says “If you CONFESS with your mouth the Lord Jesus and BELIEVE in your heart that God has raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved.

In this urgent message, Servant Marcia Carty explores the deep parallels between our current world and the days of Noah. She dives into the Book of Enoch and biblical prophecy to explain how ancient lawlessness has resurfaced in modern witchcraft, vanity, and violence. This isn't just a history lesson; it's a call to repentance and a guide on how to be found in the "Book of Remembrance" when the King returns to execute judgment.

-- The origins of the Nephilim and how the fallen "Watchers" corrupted human genetics and culture.

-- How ancient "beauty secrets" and forbidden arts from the spirit realm led to the vanity and fornication we see today.

-- Why Matthew 24 points to a trigger for Christ’s return based on the specific conditions of Noah’s time.

-- The role of the "Refiner’s Fire" and who will be able to stand when He appears.

-- Why our treatment of the "stranger" and the homeless is a direct factor in our own judgment.

-- The distinction between the hope of the rapture and the reality of the coming judgment of the ungodly.
