Called to Change One Life at a Time!
In this sermon, we are reminded that our journey of faith is marked by continual awakenings and necessary confrontations, just as the ancient paths of Israel reveal. Our identity and convictions are forged through facing both external adversaries and internal temptations, echoing Abraham’s unwavering faith at Tel Dan and Jesus’ victory at the gates of Caesarea Philippi. As we stand on the eternal path, we are called to consult what God has already revealed, trusting that each confrontation—whether against overwhelming odds or subtle compromise—deepens our resolve and leads us closer to the fullness of God’s promises. The heart of the message is that our victories, like those of our spiritual ancestors, are assured when we embrace the faith of Abraham, reject compromise, and march confidently toward every challenge, knowing that Adonai guides us and that the gates of hell will not prevail against us.
In this message delivered by Luke LeDesma, Pastor Treaster, and Pastor Wade, we are awakened to the truth that God has always provided a path—like the ancient Gihon spring—that draws us toward His throne, transforms our weakness into strength, and fills us with living water that now flows from within us. Through the stories of David conquering Jerusalem, Solomon’s coronation, Hezekiah’s chiseling of the tunnel, and Jesus healing the blind man at Siloam, we see a pattern: what begins as an external invitation becomes an internal reality as the Spirit and the Word carve out space in us for God’s life to flow freely. Though the enemy may mock us as “blind and lame,” we discover that our moments of mud, pressure, and chiseling are actually the very means by which God builds spiritual muscle and momentum in us. As we awaken to our identity as those who carry the living water, we rise—not just forgiven, but walking as kings, sources of life for our families, our community, and the world.
“Spirit Led, Fire Validated” centers on the transformative journey of believers who are led by the Holy Spirit and whose lives are validated by God’s empowering fire. Drawing from biblical examples, the Pastors emphasizes that being Spirit-led is not just about personal spiritual experiences, but about stepping out in faith, obedience, and unity—often to specific places and moments God ordains. The Spirit guides, comforts, and empowers believers to love righteousness, serve others, and endure challenges, while God’s fire validates their actions and sacrifices, confirming His presence and purpose. Ultimately, the heart of the sermon is a call to surrender control, follow God’s leading with boldness, and trust that true validation comes as we walk in His will, blessing others and advancing His kingdom together.
“A Life Worth Witnessing” calls us to live so deeply transformed by God’s presence and the continual filling of the Holy Spirit that our praise and testimony become both authentic and irresistible. Drawing from Scripture and examples throughout the Word, we were urged to let our encounters with God overflow in our speech and our actions—boldly sharing the gospel and reflecting His character—so that our very lives become a compelling witness to His power and love.
This message is a passionate encouragement for the church to embrace an “in your face” attitude of faith—one that confidently trusts in God’s power to fulfill every good purpose, leaves both past failures and successes behind, and presses forward with boldness and assurance in Christ. Pastors Wade and Treaster celebrate the transformation seen within the community and urge us to arm ourselves with Christlike thinking. They remind us that suffering for God’s will is a mark of blessing and purpose, and that through such faithfulness, God’s name is glorified in our lives.

This sermon continues the "Battlefield" series by unveiling God’s ultimate plan to overthrow every rebellious power and establish His kingdom without rival. It highlights that Yahweh alone is the Most High, with all other so called “gods” exposed as corrupt and destined for destruction. Drawing from Genesis, Deuteronomy, Psalms, and Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians, Pastors Matthew and Abimbola show how divine proclamations throughout history provoke heavenly opposition, yet always culminate in God’s triumph. The message emphasizes that Jesus, as both God and glorified man, will reign until every enemy—including death itself—is put under His feet, and that His glorified sons will share in this victory. This call urges us to recognize our role in the cosmic struggle, to stand as witnesses of Yahweh’s unmatched authority, and to actively destroy all opposition by living faithfully, advancing His kingdom, and honoring His name alone.
This sermon introduces the "Battlefield" series we are undergoing by exploring the cosmic conflict between God and rebellious spiritual powers. It emphasizes that we are called to participate in this celestial struggle as God's chosen inheritance—first for Israel, and then for the gentile. Drawing from passages across the Old and New Testaments, Pastors Treaster and Wade explain how the Bible teaches that stars are symbolic of celestial beings, and that faithful followers of Yeshua are destined to become like these "stars": glorified, eternal sons of God who will ultimately replace the corrupt spiritual rulers. This message urges us to move beyond passive faith, embrace our high calling, and actively engage in advancing God's kingdom by leading others to righteousness, thus fulfilling our purpose in God's cosmic plan.
This morning, we were called to recognize and confidently walk in the divine authority (“Exousia”) given by God through Christ, with an emphasis that true spiritual power is rooted in humility, compassion, and total dependence on the Father’s will. Walking through the book of Matthew and drawing from the life and teachings of Jesus, we were challenged to reject self-serving authority and instead use our God-given right and might to serve others, confront spiritual opposition, and bring healing and deliverance. This message urged us to embrace sacrifice, deny ourselves, and boldly act in faith—knowing that our authority is meant to build up others, advance God’s kingdom, and make disciples who display the same heavenly authority, all while trusting that God will equip, strengthen, and be present with us as we go.
This sermon delivered by brothers Caleb and Gabriel calls the brotherhood of believers to unite like a phalanx—an ancient formation of soldiers standing shoulder to shoulder—emphasizing that God’s people are chosen, privileged, and called to build together, fight together, and guard against division. Walking us through biblical examples, these brothers highlight the power and blessing found in unity, warning against behaviors like bitterness, gossip, isolation, and self-sufficiency that break the shield wall, and urged everyone to actively gather, support, and commit to one another. Together we will move forward in tight formation, practicing unity so that God’s glory and victory can rest on the community.
“Living in Light of Eternity” inspires us to live each day with an eternal perspective, reminding us that our time on earth is limited and every moment counts toward a greater purpose. We are called to be children of light, putting aside deeds of darkness and embracing the armor of faith, love, and hope. As we work, serve, and love others—especially those who cannot repay us—we align our lives with the coming Kingdom and the promise of reward from our Messiah. The urgency to act, forgive, and encourage one another is rooted in the knowledge that the day of Christ’s return is near, and our deeds will echo into eternity. Let us rise with joy, steadfastness, and a heart of repentance, shining as beacons of hope in a world that desperately needs the light of God.
This sermon is a powerful call to rise above comfort and routine, urging us to live with courageous faith and radical generosity for the sake of God’s Kingdom. We were taught that true biblical contentment isn’t found in abundance, but in trusting God with what He has apportioned for us—knowing that even our smallest sacrifices, when given with joy and conviction, can transform lives, families, and nations. United in the “Commonwealth of the Kingdom,” we are invited to give freely, serve selflessly, and walk in deep conviction, confident that God will multiply our efforts and fill us with purpose, joy, and lasting impact. Let us increase our faith, fulfill our promises, and embrace the privilege of building something eternal together!
Our brothers Andrew Hays and Ubong Okon call the church to sacrificial generosity, increasing unity, and relentless pursuit of God’s mission. Drawing inspiration from the early church in Acts, the message urges us to hold nothing back, to outdo one another in honor and self-denial, and to give sacrificially for the sake of the gospel. Just as Alexander the Great conquered with insatiable ambition, we were challenged to channel that same drive for the Kingdom—giving, serving, and sacrificing beyond comfort, so that God’s vision is fulfilled and His people are multiplied. The time to act is now; together, with hearts fully devoted, they can inspire miracles and leave a legacy of faithfulness for generations to come.
Imagine standing at the intersection of your thoughts and desires, unsure of what truly honors God. The Word of God is your divine tool—able to pierce through confusion, separate soul from spirit, and reveal what is righteous. This sermon delivered by Pastors Wade and Matthew emphasizes the life-and-death seriousness of the faith and word of God, urging you to constantly apply the Word to your life. As you do, you’ll gain the discernment to overcome sin and walk in victory. The heart of this message is clear: to divide and conquer, you must first be separated from sin and the fear of death, then move forward in holiness, power and the authority God has given you.
"Guilty Until Proven Innocent" preached by Pastors Spencer and Treaster emphasizes the inherent sinfulness of humanity and the necessity of repentance. Their message underscores that all individuals are guilty before a just God and deserve punishment. However, through Jesus Christ's sacrifice, there is an opportunity for sin to be put to death within us. True repentance is not merely feeling remorse but involves a radical, all-encompassing transformation of heart, mind, and actions, leading to a life of holiness and obedience to God.
