On Mother's Day, Guest Thelma McRae discusses the principles that every mother needs to teach their children. The first principle is to teach children to love God and have His word in their hearts. Mothers are responsible for teaching their children the word of God and leading them to accept Jesus as their savior. The second principle is to teach children to love others as they love themselves, emphasizing the importance of teaching children that they are loved by God. Mothers should also teach their children to love, honor, and obey their parents, as well as respect other authorities. Discipline and correction are essential in teaching children, and mothers should always pray for their children and let them know that they are praying for them.
Pastor Rafael Cruz emphasizes the importance of Christians becoming more active in defending their faith. He highlights that while the United States was established as a Christian nation, the current state of our society is a far cry from its original values. To create a positive change, Pastor Cruz encourages believers to awaken and take a more proactive role in their communities and culture.
On Sunday, Pastor Chris continued his teaching on Spiritual Warfare and the importance of spreading the Good News rather than seeking the rapture. He also elaborated on how prayer and worship are weapons in our arsenal. God gave us worship to take our eyes off of our issues, allow us to fix our eyes, and focus on God above all else.
This past Sunday, Pastor Chris taught on the Armor of God, found in Ephesians 6, and its vitality to spiritual warfare. The Apostle Paul explains that our weapons aren't carnal but mighty through Him, who gives us access.
On Easter Sunday, Pastor Chris spoke on the importance and power of the resurrection of Jesus conquering death. He gave us hope for our salvation and resurrection through a relationship with Him. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in you. The resurrection underpins our whole faith and is among Christianity's most essential truths.
Yesterday, Pastor Chris taught about spiritual warfare, particularly the power of prayer in our battles. Ultimately, the battle belongs to the Lord, but we must partner with Him in prayer. As believers, we do not partner with the world but align with God's Kingdom. Our strength comes from Him, and our fight is not against flesh and blood but against evil principalities.
Yesterday, Pastor Chris spoke on the point and power of prayer, giving personal testimony. God always hear us, provided we pray according to his will. Even if we don't see immediate results of prayer, He always works on our behalf. In addition, Pastor Chris shares tips to follow when you don't know how to pray.
On Sunday, Pastor Chris taught on the power of the Holy Spirit. He is our helper, the Paraclete prophesied by Jesus, who always brings His Word to our remembrance. While some ask if one wants to receive the Holy Spirit, a better question is this: why wouldn't you want to receive the Holy Spirit?
On Sunday, special guest Pastor Alan Wright taught about seeing the world, through Jesus's eyes. Christ invites to see reality the way He does, which Wright articulates by going over key passages in the New Testament. Overall, we should pray to see things as our Lord does.
On Sunday, Pastor Chris taught us about hearing God, whether through the Word and His Spirit, and His people. All speech and visions must be in line with His Word, completely subjected. Also, every thought needs to be taken captive; it's vital for discernment.
In his recent sermon, Pastor Chris McRae spoke on the power of prayer. Prayer not only brings us into further alignment with His will, but it never goes unheard, even when it doesn't get answered. Even in our disappointment, God always has something better in store, and His will is for our good.
Guest Dudley Hall revealed how to have a "heartburn that Tums can't fix:" knowing the Word through Jesus Christ. When reading scripture, it's paramount our hermeneutic is based on our Savior, so it fills us with life, rather than being "line by line." Overall, see the Teacher before "the lesson" itself.
On Sunday, Evangelist Andrew Cannon taught on God's power to set people free, giving his own testimony, and exegeting the Acts passage on the beggar at the gate. God doesn't give out gifts for your own enrichment, but so you can bless others, setting them free. We are blessed to be a blessing!
On Sunday, Pastor Chris explained not just how to hear God, but also what hinders us from hearing Him. Whether it's dullness of hearing, hardness of hearing, selective hearing, or no hearing at all, all of these inhibit knowing God's voice. The greatest place to find His voice and know it completely is through His Word.
On Sunday, our very own LTC Allen West preached on the centrality of Jesus Christ to our faith. While others may try to claim him, "we cannot allow anyone to take our Jesus away from us!" Thanks to Him, Christianity can even be summarized by four R's: redemption, reconciliation, restoration, and resurrection.
Invoking the Gospels, Pastor Chris McRae preached on those awaiting Christ's coming, and there always being a purpose to God's timing. As a church family, we're at a special juncture God placed us in, and we need to trust in God together. God always has you where you're needed, so trust in His perfect planning, timing, placement, and provision. By the Blood of Jesus and the Holy Spirit's guidance, you'll truly leave your past behind, and go forward into the perfect destiny God has for you
When Sojourn held its Christmas Eve service, Pastor Chris preached on the need to "lighten up." God has called us to be lights in a dark world, that we will illuminate it for Christ. The reason for this world's condition is the enemy does all possible to keep us from seeing Jesus; we need Jesus's light to shine in the darkness. As His hands and feet, we're called to bring his Kingdom to a world in sin and darkness. God is always working in our midst, even when it doesn't seem like it. With that in mind, let's share His light with others, and help expand His Government.
Last Sunday, Pastor Chris McRae spoke on "the Holy Spirit of Christmas." Christmas celebrates the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, but it's the Holy Spirit who reveals Christ's identity to us. It's one thing to "meet" Jesus, but it's another matter to truly know Him, which is impossible without the work of the Helper prophesied by Christ: the Holy Spirit. Anyone in Jesus is safe from sin, and He brings peace only known through the Spirit. When you see Jesus, everything changes, and you can never be the same. He is the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free. When the Holy Spirit comes, He'll reveal and testify of Jesus.
This Sunday after our Children's Christmas Program, Executive Pastor Kevin Choate explained the true greatness of this holiday; it was the fulfillment of God's promise to send his only begotten Son. From before the foundations of the Earth, God already planned on sending his Son to live among us, eventually dying for our sins and rising on the third day. Because of Jesus, our salvation doesn't depend on our performance, but his blood and grace instead. Another takeaway from Christmas is that nothing can stop God's plans; the devil couldn't stop Jesus from being born. Despite the trials we may be enduring, His Kingdom always advances, and Christ is victorious through all things.
"On December 3rd, Founding Pastor Terry Moore explains that God created us to be generous. When God gives us something, it's for a reason, and it involves blessing others. When Jesus came to Earth, he preached the gospel of God's Kingdom, which always advances. Among the ways we can help advance His Kingdom is through giving to missions and your local church. While there's plenty of good ministry examples, you should pray about which to support before giving. Don't worry about whether you can give however, because God ensures "you will have abundance in every good work." (II Corinthians 9:8)

Are you ready to worship the Lord? ENCOUNTERING GOD THROUGH WORSHIP PT.2 WE HAVE BEEN IN A SERIES CALLED ENCOUNTER – ENCOUNTERING: JESUS HOLY SPIRIT FATHER LAST WEEK WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO ENCOUNTER THE LORD THROUGH WORSHIP (WHAT IT MEANS TO ENCOUNTER HIM THROUGH WORSHIP IN A CORPORATE GATHERING AKA CHURCH SERVICE). THIS WEEK WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE ON THAT VEIN….
ENCOUNTERING GOD THROUGH PRAISE AND WORSHIP – MANY OF YOU HAVE COME FROM DIFFERENT CHURCHES AND FROM DIFFERENT MINISTRIES AND YOU HAVE HAD DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES AT THESE PLACES. BUT WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO WORSHIP GOD WHEN YOU COME HERE.. NOW HERE IS A DISCLAIMER – JUST BECAUSE SOME OF YOU ARE NOT AS EXPRESSIVE WITH YOUR WORSHIP DOES NOT NESSASARILY MEAN THAT YOU ARE WORSHIPING OR NOT. WE WANT YOU TO BE FREE WHEN YOU WORSHIP! SAY THAT WITH ME FREE!
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.” (John 14, New King James Version) DO YOU KNOW HIM AS FATHER? The Father Revealed: “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” The Answered Prayer: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. Jesus Promises Another Helper: “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. Indwelling of the Father and the Son: “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and [f]manifest Myself to him.” The Gift of His Peace: “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Peace I leave with you, My peace, I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice because [h]I said, ‘I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I. Fools for Christ's Sake: For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored! Paul's Paternal Care: I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you. For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. Therefore I urge you, imitate me. For this reason I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.
