Stop Living Powerless | Pastor Alex Pappas

You have more than power — you have authority.This week, Pastor Alex reminded us that God’s power isn’t limited to physical healing. Jesus came to heal minds, restore souls, and give us authority — the legal right to stand against the enemy.The early church didn’t just walk in power; they walked in authority. Before the Holy Spirit was poured out, Jesus gave authority to His disciples and the seventy. They cast out demons and healed the sick — and we’re called to do the same.As followers of Christ, we don’t need to fear the enemy or darkness. Jesus has given us authority to trample on serpents and scorpions. He is seated far above all rule, power, and dominion — and we share in that victory.Let’s walk boldly, without fear, and in the authority Jesus has given us.Scriptures:Ephesians 2:1–2Luke 4:31–36Matthew 9:1–8Matthew 10:1Luke 10:17–20Matthew 28:18–19Ephesians 1:19–22Philippians 2:10Matthew 8:5–10Luke 10:19

God's Power Today | Pastor Alex Pappas

Revival is here — not someday, but now. God is calling His church to walk in the fullness of His power, not only half of it. Young people across America are surrendering their lives to Jesus and hearts are being restored. But when they come to church, do they find God's power? Do we look like Jesus?It’s time to rise up as the Church — not with just lights, music, or beautiful buildings — but with miracle working power. The same dunamis power that filled Jesus is available to us today. Let’s press in, believe, and be the Church that walks in miracles, healing, and truth.

Distance to Devotion | Pastor William Izquierdo

Do not follow from afar. When distance creeps in, comfort matters more than obedience., prayer turns into a task, and adoration into observation.Peter once did this, but we see how Jesus restored him. Distances creates fear and invites in denial. But grace calls you back.Draw near to God and close the gap today.Scriptures:Luke 22:54-55, 31-32John 21:15-182 Samuel 11:1-4Judges 16:201 Kings 11:4-8Ecclesiastes 2:10James 4:8

Enduring To The End | Pastor Davidson

This episode unpacks the theme of enduring to the end. Using the imagery of the threshing floor, we see how trials separate what is temporary from what is eternal. Just as wheat is refined through crushing and wind, God uses testing to strengthen our faith.
Drawing from Luke 22:31–32, 1 Peter, and Hebrews 12, we are reminded that Jesus is interceding for us in every trial. Our response — whether growth or bitterness — reveals the fruit of our faith. In this teaching, you’ll be encouraged to resist the enemy, trust in God’s provision, live boldly for His kingdom, and endure with hope until the crown of life is received.

Discerning of Spirits | Pastor Alex Pappas

We are living in a time when truth and deception walk side by side. Not everything that appears spiritual is from the Holy Spirit.

Will You Say Yes? | Feast of Tabernacles | Pastor Alex Pappas

Building a Legacy of Faith | Pastor Alex Pappas

Influence shapes who we are at our core. There is godly influence and there is harmful influence. Scripture teaches that walking with the wise brings wisdom, and that evil company corrupts good habits. Jesus calls us to be salt and light. In this continuation from last week, Pastor Alex unpacks how influence forms character and behavior, how it moves through family, marriage, community, and leadership, and how examples from the Bible and today point people toward God. Influence is never neutral. It builds up or tears down. Choose to imitate Christ and sharpen one another. We close with prayer for strength and courage, and an invitation to give your life to Jesus or rededicate your walk.Scriptures: Proverbs 13:20, Matthew 5:13–16, 1 Corinthians 15:33, Proverbs 27:17, 2 Timothy 1:5, Deuteronomy 6:6–7, Proverbs 22:6, 1 Samuel 25:32–33, 1 Kings 21:25, Daniel 1:8, 2 Kings 18:5–7.
