Victory World Church

Isaiah 14:12-15 NLTHow you are fallen from heaven, O shining star, son of the morning! You have been thrown down to the earth, you who destroyed the nations of the world. 13 For you said to yourself, “I WILL ascend to heaven and set my throne above God's stars. I WILL preside on the mountain of the gods far away in the north. 14 I WILL climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.” 15 Instead, you will be brought down to the place of the dead, down to its lowest depths.

Where or who do you turn to when you don't know what to do? In a world where advice and opinions are never in short supply, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by it all. This summer, we're turning to the one place you can count on for the right answers—God's Word. If you need help navigating the many facets of life, then tune into our series, Focus, as we dive into the book of Proverbs to find the wisdom and clarity we need for the seasons ahead.

We live in a world where people search for peace in everything—except in the One who can actually give it. What many of us call "peace" is actually escape. We turn to temporary distractions, but the anxiety and emptiness we feel linger. Nothing in this world can satisfy the deep longing of our souls for rest. 

In every other religion, humans strive to reach and please their god. But God's grace and love is so spectacular that He came down from heaven to be with us. In this sermon, we unpack the name and character of Jehovah Shammah—the Lord who is with us. No matter your circumstances, whether you're in a season of beauty or brokenness, tune in to find encouragement and hope through the true and living God who will never leave us or forsake us. 

Jesus took our sin, our shame, and our sickness upon Himself on the cross so that we could be healed. It's a truth we can rest in because the Word of God is His will, and the Bible shows us who He is through His names. One of the names God declares Himself is Jehovah Rapha, which means “the Lord who heals.” We can have faith for healing because it's who our God is! Tune in as we trust that He will do what He said and reclaim the healing that belongs to us.

GENESIS 22:2-14 NLT“Take your son, your only son—yes, Isaac, whom you love so much—and go to the land of Moriah. Go and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”The next morning Abraham got up early. He saddled his donkey and took two of his servants with...

WHAT GOD DOES flows from WHO GOD IS. Genesis 16:1-13 NIVNow Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian slave named Hagar; so she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children.

Psalm 22:30-31 NIVPosterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord. They will proclaim his righteousness, declaring to a people yet unborn: He has done it! 

Through His sacrifice, Jesus took the punishment that we deserved. He took our place so that we could be forgiven of all our sins. We couldn't pay for it or earn it, so He came to be our righteousness. Jesus willingly laid down His life for ours, and we have now been restored to life and adopted into His family! Tune in as we celebrate what God did to make us holy and blameless in His sight.

Throughout our lives, we are all faced with various decisions, some more difficult than others. Once we've made the decision to follow Jesus, we're called to not only address Him as Lord but also to obey Him as Lord—choosing to give up our will to embrace His. Jesus submitted Himself to the will of the Father and was obedient to the point of enduring suffering so that we may have life.

It's easy to think there's plenty of time, but eternity is closer than we realize. For some, this life is the closest they'll get to heaven. For others, the best is yet to come. The world is desperate for good news, and if you've met Jesus, you've got some. Tune into this sermon to learn how to share your story and live as a witness—right now, right where you are.

As followers of Jesus, we have the privilege of knowing that earth is not our forever home. Because of His sacrifice, we now have a home prepared for us in heaven, where we'll get to spend eternity with the Father. But if we're honest, when it comes to money, sometimes we live like this world is the only one that exists. We store up for ourselves on this side of heaven instead of keeping our eyes fixed on the joy that awaits us.

Mark 12: 41-44 (KJV) 41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. 42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily...

Nehemiah 8:10 NIVThe JOY of the Lord is your STRENGTH.

Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us THROW OFF everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us RUN with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. FOR THE JOY set before him he...

Hebrews 12:1-2 NIVTherefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us THROW OFF everything that HINDERS and the SIN that so easily entangles.

As followers of Jesus, we know this world is not our true home. But the reality is, we don't always lead lives that reflect the fact that we were made for more. God has called each of us to holiness. Instead of focusing on the here and now, we were created to live with the joy of a future with Him in mind. Tune into this message to learn how to look beyond this present moment, throw off sin, and live for eternity!

To run the race set before us as believers, we need to throw off anything that slows us down. Following Christ wholeheartedly requires laying aside lukewarmness and committing to a lifelong journey of being fully committed disciples of Jesus. Join us as we go behind the scenes, unpack the message, and dive even deeper into the conversation.

Our good friend John Bevere was with us as we celebrated 35 years of Victory! He brought a timely word to carry with us throughout each day as we interact with others on our journey with Jesus.

John was given a beautiful vision of the new heaven and earth. One day, Jesus will return as King, and He will vindicate His people who are found faithful. When He comes, all things will be made new, we will live and work in harmony with God forever, and the fulfillment of every last one of His promises will come to pass!

When sin entered the Garden of Eden, we lost the perfect peace and security that we can find only in God's presence. Unholiness cannot dwell with holiness. So, because of the curse, we lost unity with God. Our connection was severed, and we could no longer see Him face-to-face. We were made to know God, and as His...

For every one of us, a time will come when we breathe our last breath. And if you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then you know what is to come: Heaven. But what about our present moments? How do we live today in light of the gift and hope of eternity with God? Tune into this heartfelt conversation between our Senior Pastor and his dad, and take a note or two on how we can press on and finish well, all for the glory of God.

What comes to mind when we think about GOD is the most important thing about us.”– A.W. Tozer

Revelation 20:1-6 NIVAnd I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, andlocked and sealed...

When Jesus was born, it was a fulfillment of the prophecy that a Savior, the King, would come to earth. He went to the cross and died for the sins of the world, and He rose again on the third day before He ascended into heaven. Just as Jesus came the first time, the Bible tells us that He is coming again. He has gone to prepare a place for us, His bride, and we are called to prepare ourselves for His return. Tune in to find out what that means for us as we await His arrival.

As believers, in the end, we win. But for all who face times of trials and persecution, the pain can blur the vision of our victory in Christ. Tune in as we look to the Word to find hope and remember all we can be grateful for because of the finished work of Christ.

Revelation 12:12 NIVTherefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short. 

Revelation 10:1-2 NIV'Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars. He was holding a little scroll, which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, '

Revelation 7:1-4 NLTThen I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds so they did not blow on the earth or the sea, or even on any tree. And I saw another angel coming up from the east, carrying the SEAL of the living God. And he shouted to those four angels, who had been given power to harm land and sea, “WAIT! Don't harm the land or the sea or the trees until we have placed the seal of God on the foreheads of his servants.” And I heard how many were marked with the seal of God—144,000 were sealed from all the tribes of Israel...

2 Peter 3:8-9 NLBut you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being PATIENT for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to REPENT.

If the people of God are going to persevere in the days of pain, we must be people who PRAY and PRAISE in God's Presence!

Revelation 4:1 ESVAfter this I looked, and BEHOLD, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” Revelation 4:2-11 ESVAt once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a...

John 11:1-6Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one...

3 SIGNS OF LUKEWARMNESS 1.  SPIRITUAL APATHY “LUKEWARMNESS is a way of saying God, I believe in you, but you just don't excite me!”  –Charles Spurgeon 2.  COMPROMISE 3.  SELF RELIANCE

Like the church of Philadelphia, we live in a world that is constantly being shaken. Because sin began in the Garden of Eden, all creation now groans in anticipation of Jesus' return. Until then, even as we go through the trials of life, we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves and to shine brightly for Christ. Though we may feel weak and unsure of how much we can endure, Jesus will make us strong until the end—then we'll be safe in His presence forever!

Revelation 3:1-6 ESV“And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. WAKE UP, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have...

Revelation 2:18-29 NIV“To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at...

The Church of Pergamum believed a lie. They thought they had options—that they could have both Jesus and their sin. They were lured away and enticed by societal norms and became convinced that Christ crucified and resurrected wasn't enough. The people of Pergamum were deceived, and the reality is: we must be intentional about acknowledging where we, too, may have been led astray. Otherwise, we could find ourselves influenced by the very culture we are called to impact. Join us as we humbly ask the Holy Spirit to take inventory of our hearts and recommit to aligning with the truth of His word!

What does it mean to “suffer well” and why should we care? When John wrote the book of Revelation, Jesus instructed him to write a second letter to the Church in Smyrna to prepare them (and us) for what is to come. God says we will suffer, that we will be tested… but He assures us that He is with us in the midst of it all. And, as we...

When asked what the greatest commandment was, Jesus responded that we should love the Lord with all our hearts, souls, and minds. And the second is just as important: to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. The early church forgot about these commands, and if we're honest, it's easy for us to forget them as well. Tune in as we learn from Jesus' correction and instruction that we still need today.

Think about it. How often do you picture Jesus as He was? He was a baby in a manger. He was a broken man on the cross. He was dead. But God wants to reveal to us who His son is. In the book of Revelation, Jesus Himself says, “I AM the First and the Last. I AM the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I AM alive for ever and ever!” There's a big difference between what was and what is. Tune in for a powerful revelation of the King and Savior of the world!

Revelation 1:1 ESVThe revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must SOON take place.

God is holy, and that means everything He commands us to do isn't just good, it's for our good. But obedience doesn't always come easy for us. In fact, our sinful nature makes us more prone to disobey. So, what does it look like to live a life of total surrender? Tune in to this sermon to discover what it looks like to obey like Jesus.

Psalm 138:6 NLTThough the Lord is great, he cares for the HUMBLE, but he keeps his distance from the PROUD.

1 John 4:16-17 NIV“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.”

MATTHEW 5:43-48 NKJV“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'  But I say to you, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS THOSE WHO CURSE YOU, DO GOOD TO THOSE WHO HATE YOU, AND PRAY FOR THOSE WHO SPITEFULLY USE YOU AND PERSECUTE YOU, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you?  Do not even the tax collectors do the same?  And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”

The book of Acts teaches us the origins of the early Church—but, like the disciples, it's also a call for us to GO and tell the world about Jesus. He sacrificed His life, saving us from sin, and commissioned us as representatives of His incredible faithfulness. He did His part, and now it's our turn. Tune in to the last message in our Sent series to find out how you can live sent in your everyday life!
