What happens when Jesus is your Savior but not your Lord? In Keep Going Pt. 4, Pastor Keith Battle unpacks Colossians 2:6–7, revealing why spiritual growth requires more than a one-time decision. It demands a daily surrender to Christ's lordship. Discover how hidden idols, self-rule, and divided devotion can keep us from moving forward, and learn what it means to dethrone self and place Jesus back where He belongs: on the throne of your heart. This powerful message will challenge you to keep going, deepen your roots in Christ, and experience a faith that grows stronger with overflowing thankfulness.

What does it really mean to follow Jesus as Lord? In this message, we explore how discipleship requires daily surrender, steadfast faith, and obedience even when the path includes hardship, uncertainty, and sacrifice. Through Colossians 2, Luke 9, 1 Timothy 2, and the example of Paul in Acts 20–21, we discover that Jesus alone belongs on the throne and that true freedom is found in yielding our lives to Him. Be encouraged to stay rooted, keep moving forward, and embrace God's purpose one Spirit-led decision at a time.

What happens when the self keeps fighting for the throne that belongs to Jesus? This message unpacks Paul’s charge in Colossians 2:6-7 to continue following Christ with a life shaped by the cross, not controlled by ego, distraction, or culture. Through Philippians 2, Luke 9:23, and Galatians 2:20, we confront the tension between a throne-oriented life and a cross-oriented life. Jesus did not only die on the cross for salvation; He now reigns as Lord and deserves full surrender. From everyday decisions to enduring opposition without losing focus, this teaching challenges believers to deny self, carry the cross daily, and let Christ remain at the center. The question is simple but weighty: Who is really sitting on the throne of your life?

In this practical and powerful message, “Financial Check: Financial Intelligence,” Pastor Darrell teaches that God desires not only spiritual freedom, but financial freedom as well. Using Proverbs 22:7 as the foundation, the sermon challenges believers to become wiser stewards by understanding how money works, identifying financial “leaks,” avoiding destructive debt, and living below their means on purpose.

The message offers biblical wisdom on budgeting, saving, lending, co-signing, investing, and building long-term stability while reminding listeners that bad financial habits do not make someone a bad person. Ultimately, financial intelligence is about honoring God, managing resources faithfully, and creating freedom to live generously and without financial bondage.

Many people want guidance, but few are willing to submit to it. In this Father's Day message, Pastor Dondrae McGee teaches that God often grows, protects, and directs us through mentors and spiritual fathers whose wisdom comes from experience. Using Moses and Jethro in Exodus 18, he shows that wise counsel does more than identify problems—it provides strategy, accountability, and protection. The challenge is not merely finding mentors, but actually listening to them. True growth happens when we allow trusted voices to speak hard truths and when we follow their godly advice, even when it's uncomfortable.

God speaks direction, but what happens when we hear Him and still don’t move? This message unpacks why hearing without obedience leads to self-deception — and how true transformation happens when faith becomes action.

If you’ve ever struggled to step into what God is calling you to do, this message will challenge and strengthen you to trust, move, and live with conviction.

What if success isn’t about opportunity — but obedience?

If you’re ready to break free from distractions and step into purpose, this message will challenge everything.
