In Worship: The Labor of Love, Pastor Will Ford teaches that work is more than a task—it's worship. Drawing from the Hebrew word avodah, which means work, worship, and service, he illustrates how daily labor was always intended to be an act of devotion to God. Since the Garden of Eden, man was created to cultivate in partnership with God, but after the Fall, humanity began working for significance instead of from significance. Jesus redeemed this curse, restoring work as a labor of love. Pastor Will emphasizes that excellence in work honors God, and when we offer our best, even mundane jobs become sacred. Drawing parallels between the Levites and modern believers, he charges Christians to carry God's glory into every sphere—business, politics, creativity, and culture. Through biblical insight and inspiring stories of believers like Madam C.J. Walker and William Merrill Vorhies, the message commissions every Christian to see their vocation as a calling, their workplace as a ministry, and their work as worship.

In this sermon, Pastor Les exposes the orphan spirit and calls the Church into true sonship. This spirit thrives in shame, striving, and insecurity—but Jesus breaks it with His blood. You don't have to earn God's love. You just have to receive it.

In this episode of Spiritual Leadership with Landon Schott, Landon discusses the misconception that serving and knowing God, as well as ministry, has to be hard. He explains how the presence of God makes life's challenges easier, debunks common lies about the difficulties of a spiritual life, and shares practical advice on connecting with God daily. He also recounts personal stories and biblical examples to illustrate how staying in God's presence can transform hard situations into manageable ones. Finally, Landon provides actionable steps for viewers to overcome bad choices, sins, and the burden of religion, emphasizing the importance of daily encounters with God.

In Pastor Will Ford's message "From a Glimpse to a Gaze"  he emphasizes the power of spiritual intimacy with God over mere activity for Him. Drawing from biblical examples like Mary and Martha, it contrasts being busy serving (Martha) with abiding in God's presence (Mary), highlighting that true anointing flows from relationship, not performance. The anointing is likened to a fragrance that influences both the natural and spiritual realms—drawing angels and repelling demons. Just as perfume was used in the Old Testament to consecrate and set apart, believers today are anointed to love, worship, and gaze upon Jesus. This gaze transforms both the worshipper and the heart of God. Ultimately, we are invited to move beyond a passing glimpse of God into a deep, life-altering gaze that shapes us into His likeness.

This morning, Pastor Matt Wakefield delivers a powerful message on the theme: "How We War in Worship."Drawing from the rich narrative found in 2 Chronicles 20, Pastor Matt unpacks how worship is not just a passive act, but a dynamic spiritual weapon used to engage in spiritual warfare. Pastor Matt emphasizes that praise is a weapon—not one forged of human strength, but one that shifts the atmosphere and invites God's presence to move on our behalf. When we worship, we are not ignoring our battles; we are positioning ourselves to let God fight for us. Throughout his message, he outlines 7 expressions of worship—practical and biblical ways we can outwardly express our praise—and shares 6 foundational truths about praise, each pointing to the power, purpose, and spiritual authority that praise carries. He boldly declares that when praise goes first, we don't have to force the breakthrough—we simply watch God bring it. Just as the enemies of Israel turned on themselves when Judah praised, we too will see confusion fall on the plans of the enemy when we exalt God above our circumstances. In the end, Pastor Matt leaves the church with a call to live a lifestyle of worship—not just on Sunday mornings, but in every moment we face opposition. Because in worship, we don't just survive the battle—we declare victory before it even begins. The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God.

She explains that all ten virgins were pure and had lamps—symbolizing ministry and light—but only five carried extra oil, representing daily intimacy with Jesus through the Holy Spirit. The core issue was not morality or external appearance but the presence—or absence—of cultivated oil: personal history with God, sustained through worship, the Word, prayer, and obedience. Pastor Dehavilland emphasizes that oil cannot be borrowed, imparted, or outsourced—each believer must buy their own in intimacy with the Lord.

Pastor Sean Gleason's message Radical Love: Beloved Identity centers on the truth that our identity isn't found in what we do, but in being radically loved by God. Using Mary Magdalene's encounter with Jesus in John 20, he shows that when Jesus calls your name, He calls you “Beloved.” Pastor Sean explains that God gives new names in Scripture to declare purpose and identity, and that true transformation comes through receiving the spirit of adoption, not striving. Beloved identity breaks shame, ends competition, and leads to unity. We can only truly love God when we understand how deeply we are loved by Him.

In this powerful message, Pastor Fidel unpacks how radical love confronts and casts out every spirit of fear.

This powerful message from Senior Pastor Heather Schott centers on the Fruit of Faithfulness as a non-negotiable requirement from God. Drawing from Numbers 12, we see how God affirms Moses as uniquely faithful—humble, obedient, and intimate with Him—despite criticism and opposition. Faithfulness is defined not by outward success, but by unwavering trust, obedience, and endurance through persecution, suffering, and temptation. The message warns of the deceptive Spirit of Python, which mimics truth to sow confusion, rebellion, and division in the church, using false prophecy, jealousy, and spiritual manipulation. It strangles spiritual life, keeping believers from bearing good fruit. Believers are urged to examine what they are truly faithful to—whether it's God or idols like platforms, people, or self-will. True faithfulness, as modeled by Moses and Paul, is proven in the valley, in prison, in pressure, and in consistent pursuit of God's will. It is maintained through abiding in Christ and regular repentance. Ultimately, faithfulness leads to eternal reward, not necessarily earthly comfort, and culminates in hearing Jesus say, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.” Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49419917
