In this teaching, Pastor Dobbs ministers from Acts 1:4 & I Thessalonians 5:17 on being saved, waiting on the promise of the Father, praying despite distractions. Distractions will take a person from their set place but being saved requires that a believer pray so that they can refocus to fulfill the will of God despite the distractions going on in the world. Scripture: Acts 1: 4 “4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; “ I Thessalonians 5:17 – pray without ceasing

In this teaching, Pastor Dobbs ministers from Matthew 6:5-6 on a prayer life that leads to rewards. In this teaching, Pastor Dobbs teaches on the importance of prayer and how that it leads to a reward when done like the scripture teaches. Scripture: Matthew 6:5- 5 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. Matthew 6:6 - But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

Most parents want their children to be able to chase their dreams, and they often do all they can to build a place of possibility for their kids to go and be successful. This week, we’re talking about what it means to create a home where anything is possible, but that goal comes with a positive version and a negative version. The Bible speaks to both. Scripture is full of advice for parents and children. It contains encouragements and warnings, ways to live and ways not to live, things to do and things not to do. This is not a message about creating the perfect home because there isn’t one of those; it’s about the atmosphere that we create inside our homes and the impact of the choices we make.

Behold the Army of God - Part 3: Jealous Love ​Why is God jealous for your heart? The secret to spiritual victory. ​In this third installment of our series, Behold the Army of God, we uncover the most critical requirement for every soldier in His ranks: Exclusive, undivided love. ​God delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt—they were wealthy, healthy, and "harnessed for war"—yet they carried their idols with them into their freedom. This act of spiritual adultery posed a massive problem then, and it remains the primary obstacle for the modern-day church today. ​In this message, Pastor Mark A. Stroud explores the dangerous intersection of idolatry and spiritual fruitfulness. From the first commandment given to the Old Testament church to the stern warning sent to the church at Ephesus in the book of Revelation, one truth remains: We have abandoned our first love. ​God is not distant; He is pursuing us with a Jealous Love. He desires the fullness of our devotion, not because He is insecure, but because He knows that as long as we hold onto our idols, we cannot be effective against the enemy or fully glorify Him. ​In this video, we discuss: ​The First Commandment Mandate: Why exclusive worship is the foundation of the "Army of God." ​The Ephesus Warning: What happens when the Church loses its "first love." ​The Anatomy of Jealous Love: Understanding the Father’s pursuit of your heart. ​Practical Consecration: How to identify and cast away the idols hindering your effectiveness. ​Scripture Reference: ​Ezekiel 20:7: "...do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am the Lord your God." ​Revelation 2:4: "But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first." ​Ready to align your heart? Getting rid of our idols isn't just about giving things up—it’s about preparing ourselves to be productive, victorious, and fully devoted to the one who loves us most. ​#BeholdTheArmyOfGod #jealouslove #PastorMarkAStroud #firstlove #spiritualwarfare #ephesus #consecration #christianvictory #spiritualgrowth #idol #idolatry

Your tongue is a powerful thing. Use it to spread good instead of evil.

In Acts 10:1-5, we read about a man named Cornelius. He was a righteous Gentile who loved God, prayed to Him and also gave to those in need. In describing Cornelius, the Bible uses a specific Greek term that only appears three times in the New Treatment. The verses say his prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a “memorial” before God — a word that is also used in Mark 14 and Matthew 26. As we recognize Memorial Day this week, we’re looking at this biblical concept of a “memorial” to explore the things that God remembers. Because He is omniscient, God knows and remembers everything, but just like He chooses to forget our sins when we seek His forgiveness, there are also things that move Him to such an extent that He chooses to bring them to the forefront of His memory and ours.

Pastor Dobbs ministers from Matthew 14:29-31 & Acts 2:1 on Pentecost Sunday on the importance of not allowing distractions to take you away from what God has for you. If the ones on the day of Pentecost would have been distracted, they would have missed the Holy Spirit being given on the day of Pentecost. Scripture: Matthew 14:29-31 29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” Acts 2:1 - When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place

You need to add works to your faith.

There’s a battle happening inside of you that most Christians don’t fully understand. You pray. You try harder. You want freedom. But somehow the fight keeps showing back up. What if the struggle itself is proof that God is already working? In this episode of The Uncommon Christian, Jon Ellis exposes the real war happening beneath temptation, conviction, obedience, and spiritual growth. This is not just about behavior modification. This is about the battle between flesh and Spirit, truth and emotion, conviction and compromise. You’ll learn: • Why temptation feels louder in the moment • Why conviction can start feeling exhausting • How the enemy uses thoughts, emotions, and isolation • Why the fight is evidence you haven’t surrendered to darkness • How to respond when your mind and emotions are at war If you’ve been frustrated with your struggle, this episode will help you understand what’s actually happening, and how to fight differently. This is where we stop settling for surface-level faith and start living the life Jesus actually called us to live. The fight inside of you may actually be proof God is working. In this episode, Jon Ellis breaks down the real battle behind temptation, conviction, obedience, and spiritual warfare, and why many believers keep fighting the wrong way.

Behold the Army of God When the children of Israel stepped out of Egypt, they didn't leave as a band of weary refugees—they marched out as the "Army of God". In this powerful message, Pastor Mark Stroud explores the profound transformation of a people who had been defined by 400 years of slavery. We dive deep into the moment they exited the land of oppression, not in chaos, but "harnessed for war," organized and prepared for the destiny ahead of them. What We Cover in This Video: The Divine Provision: Discover how God didn't just deliver them; He equipped them with both wealth and health, ensuring that "there was not one feeble person among their tribes." Delivered from Oppressors and Oppression: Understanding the difference between being physically free and being mentally/spiritually free from the weight of the past. The Trial by Fire: We examine the necessity of the Red Sea. Why did God lead them into a "dead end"? Learn how the trial at the Red Sea was a refining fire designed to prove their faith before they could inherit the promise. * **Enduring the Hardness:** Faith doesn't mean the absence of trials; it means having the strength to endure the hardness as a good soldier of Christ. **Stay Connected:** * **Subscribe** for more biblical teaching and community updates.

Can you be physically delivered but still spiritually trapped? In Part 2 of the powerful series, Behold the Army of God, Pastor Mark Stroud exposes "The Lust Trap"—the hidden baggage that has the power to sabotage your destiny, steal your blessings, and change the entire trajectory of your life. ​When the children of Israel miraculously marched out of the land of Egypt, they left with absolute health, wealth, and the supernatural backing of the Almighty. God had completely broken their physical chains. Yet, as they journeyed toward the Promised Land, many carried a deadly secret in their bags: the literal and spiritual idols of Egypt. ​They left the land of slavery, but they brought the culture of slavery with them. ​In this message, we unpack exactly how these hidden idols hindered Israel's relationship with God, led them directly into sin, and brought avoidable misery and pain into their lives. More importantly, Pastor Mark shares critical, biblical keys on how we can identify and avoid these modern-day "lust traps" in our own lives today so we don't block the blessings God has engineered for us. ​

Be a doer of The word. If God's word tells you to do something you should do it.

Life is beautiful and offers many great opportunities, but unfortunately, it also has the potential to cause hurt and pain. If we’re going to follow God and succeed, we need to understand the impact and influence of three things: faith, focus, and fear. This week, as part of our annual Graduation Recognition Service, Matt Carlisle — a member of the Covenant Life Student Ministry (CLSM) High School team — delivers an encouraging message to our seniors using heartfelt stories from his own life.

This Mother’s Day, Pastor Timothy Elder brings a powerful and heartfelt message titled “The Power of a Mother’s Praise and Prayer.” This sermon explores how the prayers, worship, faith, and perseverance of mothers can shape generations, shift atmospheres, and impact lives in ways beyond what we can see. Though centered around honoring mothers, this message speaks to everyone about the transforming power of praise, persistent prayer, and unwavering faith in God. Come expecting encouragement, conviction, healing, and a reminder that somebody’s prayers may be the reason you’re still standing today. www.kingdomrock.org

Before you use your mouth to say something you might regret use your ears to listen.

Most believers don’t lose the battle in a big moment. They lose it in the gap. The gap between the temptation… and the decision. The pull… and the agreement. The moment where feelings get louder than conviction. In this episode of The Uncommon Christian, Jon Ellis breaks down what actually happens inside temptation and how to fight back before compromise becomes action. This is not just another conversation about knowing truth — this is about learning how to use truth when the pressure is real. If you’ve ever asked: “Why do I keep going back?” “Why do I keep losing battles I genuinely want to win?” “Why does temptation feel stronger in the moment than it did five minutes earlier?” This episode is for you. You’ll learn: ● Why temptation feels different when you’re inside it ● How agreement happens before behavior ● Why negotiation is where most people lose ● How to interrupt the cycle before compromise takes over Why freedom is built one moment at a time Freedom isn’t a feeling you wait for. It’s a direction you walk in. This is The Uncommon Christian. You weren’t ambushed at the action. You were lost at the agreement. In this episode, Jon Ellis breaks down the “gap” — the moment between temptation and decision — and reveals why most believers lose the battle before the behavior ever happens. Learn how to interrupt negotiation, replace lies with truth, and move before you feel ready. Freedom is chosen. One moment at a time.

Temptations will come for you. When they do run from them, and seek God in prayer.

Mothers carry burdens that weigh heavily on their hearts, including worries about their family members, their finances, if they’re good enough, the past, the future, and more. We have to stop worrying about things that haven’t even happened yet — instead, we need to pray about it and give it to God. He never intended for us to carry these burdens alone; we have to let go of what we can't control, stop worrying, and let God take over. In this week’s sermon, Valerie Butler reminds us that real faith isn't about having all the answers; it's about trusting God's plan even when we aren't in the driver's seat. Just like Carrie Underwood, there are times when we have to say, “Jesus take the wheel. Take it from my hands.” Together, we’ll discover six steps toward letting go of our worries and giving them to God, which is one of the most freeing and challenging things we can do.

First Lady Cassandra Dobbs of Overcomers Christian Center ministers from Philippians 3:13-15 on the importance of learned women needing to press their way despite the challenges of life. Scripture: Philippians 3:13-15 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you

Rejoice! God loves you, and he wants to shower you with gifts.

In this teaching by Pastor Kenneth Murray of A Place Of Refuge Rome, he ministers from I Corinthians 7:35 on serving the Lord without distractions. When we serve the Lord without distractions, it is beneficial to the ones we serve and to us as well, the Lord will cause us to profit. Scripture: I Corinthians 7:35 - And this I say for your own profit, not that I may put a leash on you, but for what is proper, and that you may serve the Lord without distraction.

God will generously give you wisdom to help you out in your daily life if you ask Him to.

You’ve prayed about it. You’ve repented of it. You told yourself this was the last time… and then you ended up right back in it. So why does this keep happening? In this episode of The Uncommon Christian, Jon Ellis breaks down the real reason you keep going back to the same sin, pattern, or struggle—and why trying harder hasn’t worked. Because you’re not dealing with a habit. You’re dealing with a stronghold. Strongholds aren’t just external attacks—they are internal belief systems built over time. And until those beliefs are dismantled, the cycle continues. This episode walks through what a stronghold actually is according to Scripture, why behavior-based solutions fall short, and how to break the pattern at the root. If you’ve ever felt stuck in something you genuinely want to be free from, this episode will give you clarity and a real path forward. Why do you keep going back to the same thing—even when you don’t want it anymore? In this episode, Jon Ellis exposes the real reason cycles don’t break: it’s not just behavior—it’s belief. Learn what a stronghold actually is and how to break it by exposing the lie, replacing it with truth, and living in obedience—even when it’s hard.

In this teaching by Pastor Dobbs, he ministers from Ephesians 4:16 and Psalm 46:1 on the importance of auxiliaries in our local church. When auxiliaries are functioning the way God intended, it helps fulfill the house vision. Scripture: Ephesians 4:16- 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. Psalm 46:1 - God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

As Jews, members of the early church knew what the Old Testament said. They knew the law, the prophets and the symbols of the Holy Spirit we’ve talked about: water, fire, cloud, oil, and wind. They knew that He came upon people to empower them for serving the Lord and withdrew again. They knew that Joel prophesied that a time would come when the Spirit would be poured out on all flesh. Everything else they knew about the Spirit came from Jesus and John the Baptist. Too often, we approach a scene or topic in the Bible based on what we know now rather than what they knew then, which limits or clouds our understanding. This week’s sermon is the last message of the Holy Water series, and we’re going to talk about the baptism in the Holy Spirit. As we approach this topic, we’re going to strip away past experiences or testimonies we’ve heard and look at what they knew leading up to Pentecost. If it was enough for them, it ought to be enough for us.

A powerful message by Pastor Timothy Elder In this life, we all face battles, struggles, and moments where it feels like the walls won’t come down. But throughout Scripture, we see a consistent truth: praise is not just a response—it’s a weapon. In this dynamic message, Pastor Timothy Elder reveals how your breakthrough, your freedom, and your deliverance are often unlocked through intentional, faith-filled praise. Just like the people of Jericho, when you lift your voice in obedience and expectation, God moves. No matter what you're facing today, this message will encourage you to praise your way into deliverance. www.kingdomrock.org

Why can’t you break that pattern—even when you know it’s wrong? In this episode, Jon Ellis reveals that the issue isn’t just behavior—it’s belief. Many believers try to change what they do without ever confronting what they believe, which is why cycles continue. Through Scripture and practical application, this episode unpacks how strongholds are formed in the mind, how agreement gives patterns power, and what it actually takes to walk in freedom. If you’ve been stuck in the same cycle, this episode will challenge your thinking and give you clear steps to break it for good. You’re not stuck. You’re aligned. In this episode, Jon Ellis breaks down why patterns in your life don’t change—even when you want them to. The problem isn’t just behavior. It’s belief. Learn how strongholds are formed, how agreement fuels cycles, and how to break patterns at the root by aligning with truth.

Everything you need is on God's table.

Pastor Dobbs ministers from Hebrews 2:1 on the importance of giving the more earnest heed to the things we have heard lest we drift away. We are to hold fast to the Word of God that was preached to us unless the enemy comes and gets the Word that was sown into our hearts. Scripture: Hebrews 2:1 - Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.

Church people talk about being Christians all the time. We talk about being followers of Jesus, but what does that actually mean? If we took the time to talk to 1,000 people at churches around the west Georgia area this morning and asked them what it looks like to follow Jesus, we’d probably hear things like going to church every week, not cussing or drinking, giving money in the offering, being respectful and helping people. If that’s what it means to follow Jesus, something is wrong because you can do all those things and still be lost. If every part of Jesus’s life is supernatural, how is it that we think we can follow Him entirely in our own power? Are we to believe that our sins are forgiven supernaturally, but our life with Him is ordinary? This week, we’re talking about our need for the Holy Spirit’s power to truly live a life of impact that’s pleasing to God.

In these last days it's important to preach the gospel any and everywhere you can. If you make yourself available to God, He'll send opportunities your way. www.kingdomrock.org Mission Tabernacle Outreach

Title: You’re Fighting the Wrong Battle (It’s Not What You Think) Most believers aren’t losing because they don’t love God… They’re losing because they’re fighting the wrong battle. In this episode of The Uncommon Christian, Jon Ellis breaks down one of the most misunderstood areas of the Christian life: the difference between your flesh and real spiritual warfare. Not everything is the devil. Not everything is you. And sometimes—it’s both. If you don’t learn how to discern the difference, you’ll keep misdiagnosing the fight… and using the wrong weapon every time. In this episode, you’ll learn: ● The difference between flesh, spiritual warfare, and when both are at work ● Why some struggles are not attacks—but appetites ● How the enemy actually works (and why it starts in your thoughts) ● Why misdiagnosing your battle leads to repeated defeat ● How to start winning consistently with clarity and biblical strategy This isn’t about trying harder. It’s about seeing clearer. Because clarity determines victory. You’re not losing because you’re weak. You’re losing because you’re fighting the wrong battle. Not everything is spiritual warfare. Some of it is your flesh. And some of it is both. If you don’t learn to tell the difference… you’ll stay stuck. This episode will change how you fight, and how you win

Have the courage to pursue your dreams, keep in mind that unexpected things will always happen, don't give up, and trust in God when things get tough.

In Ezekiel 47:1-5, the prophet has a vision about a river flowing from the Temple that is believed to be a symbol of the Holy Spirit. In the vision, the river goes from ankle-deep to knee-deep to waist-deep, and then, it becomes deep enough to swim in. If you are truly saved, you are standing in the river. The will of God is for you to continue downstream, deeper and deeper, more and more surrendered to His Holy Spirit. However, there are many people who got saved and had some spiritual experiences in the river, and after some difficult times, they are now tempted to get out of the water and go completely back to their old life. This week, we’re exploring the truth that the problem isn’t the water; it’s trying to live in two worlds. Discomfort comes when you’re sloshing around in water but still trying to walk like you’re on land.

Pastor Dobbs ministers from II Timothy 1:13 on how we as a Learned Church must be determined to hold fast to the Word of God. When we come into God's house, we should come expecting a Word to live by, a tailored Word and a satisfying Word. When we receive that Word, let us hold fast to the Word that was preached to us so we can experience better from God. Scripture: II Timothy 1:13 - Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

In these last days it's important to do what The Lord has called you to do and to not forsake the assembly. The Holy Spirit honors unity, and there's no time to drag your feet. www.kingdomrock.org Mission Tabernacle Outreach
