In a stirring and convicting message titled “ONO,” Bishop John E. Putnam reminds us that while salvation is freely available to anyone, living for Christ is a daily journey that requires vigilance, commitment and perseverance. Preaching from Luke 9 and Nehemiah, Bishop Putnam paints a vivid picture of the spiritual battles believers face and the constant temptation to compromise. Drawing from Nehemiah's resolve to stay on the wall and not be lured into the “Valley of Ono”—a place of trade-offs and distractions—he warns that the enemy is always trying to pull us away from God's work into a life of half-hearted faith. Yet this is not a message of despair, but of determination: Jesus has given His church the authority, the power and the Spirit to overcome. Whether you are dealing with personal struggles, family burdens, or the subtle pull of compromise, “ONO” will challenge you to stay on the wall, refuse distraction and cling to the joy and freedom found in Christ alone.

In a sobering yet hope-filled message titled “Satan's Trophy Room,” Bro. Georgeon Pedigo warns that it's not how you start the race of faith that matters most—it's how you finish. Preaching from 1 Samuel 31, he recounts the tragic downfall of King Saul, a man anointed, gifted, and full of promise, yet ultimately taken out by compromise, fear, and disobedience. Like a hunter's trophy mounted on the wall, Saul's life became a display of defeat in the enemy's collection. With vivid imagery and powerful biblical examples, Bro. Pedigo exposes how the enemy works subtly—through discouragement, offense, temptation, and distraction—to derail believers who once burned brightly for God. Yet this message is not one of despair—it's a call to perseverance. Using the transformation of Saul of Tarsus into the Apostle Paul as a shining example, he declares that no matter your failures or how you began, God's grace can rewrite your ending. Whether you feel distant from God, caught in the motions of church life, or wounded by the past, “Satan's Trophy Room” will challenge you to press on, continue steadfastly, and finish the race with faith intact.

In a stirring and convicting message titled “The Gospel's Fire Brigade,” Bro. Georgeon Pedigo challenges us to shake off spiritual complacency and answer the urgent call of the gospel. Drawing from Jude 1:17–23, he reminds us that we live in the last days—days when comfort can lull the church to sleep while souls are perishing in the fire. With vivid illustrations and heartfelt urgency, Bro. Pedigo urges believers to earnestly contend for the faith, extend compassion to the broken, and reach into the flames to rescue those in danger. He likens the gospel to a siren—sometimes inconvenient to our routines, but life-saving to those in crisis—and calls us to be more than passive hearers: to become God's rescue team in a world desperate for hope. This isn't just a sermon—it's a wake-up call. Whether you feel distant from God or burning with zeal, “The Gospel's Fire Brigade” will reignite your passion for souls and renew your commitment to live on mission for Christ.

In a powerful and hope-filled message titled “A Dead Man's Victory,” Bro. Georgeon Pedigo invites us to rediscover the life-changing power of repentance and restoration. Preaching from Joshua 7, he paints a vivid picture of Israel's unexpected defeat at Ai—and the hidden sin that robbed them of victory. But he doesn't stop there. With compelling storytelling, from World War II deception plots to the lies of the enemy, Bro. Pedigo reminds us that the devil loves to label us by our failures—but God has already called us fearfully and wonderfully made. Through repentance, the old identity dies, and the enemy is left clinging to something that no longer exists. What once set you aside for destruction can become the very testimony that sets you apart for victory. This message is a rallying cry to let go of shame, silence the accuser, and walk boldly toward the peace, joy, and purpose God has promised. Whether you feel stuck in defeat or on the edge of breakthrough, “A Dead Man's Victory” will stir your faith, break chains of condemnation, and call you back into step with the God who always wins.

Schmalz challenges us to shift our thinking and align it with God's Word to unlock the supernatural in our churches and our lives.
