Standalone Message: Pentecost: God's People, God's Church, God's Mission - Pastor Megan Wood (06/07/2026) by Word of Life Assembly of God

God is enough for us. HIs hand on us blesses us abundantly.

On "The Body of Christ"

On foundations of truth in the Church

In this sermon, Pastor Tom McCormick preached from Acts 5:12–16. In this passage, we see God moving powerfully through the early. Miracles were taking place, unity was evident, the church was highly respected by the culture, more people than ever were being saved, and many were being healed. Together, we reflect on whether God is moving with that same power in Hope Church today, and whether we truly desire to be a church like the early church. Could it be that the reason we do not see more of God's power is not because His power has changed, but because we cause Him to withhold it? And what would cause God not to withhold His power? That is the question we explore in this sermon.

We are kicking off a new series, Say Yes to the Best. We are asking the question, "Am I joining God in His work in my life?" Am I saying yes to the best things. We start with the area that God uses to impact the other areas of life for His glory and our good, His church.

Main point: What God starts, He finishes. 1. You can see it (1–5) 2. You can trust it (6–8) 3. You can receive it (9-11)

In this powerful message, Guest Speaker Pastor Vinu Paul encourages King's Church to pursue a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit as we continue our STRONGER 2.0 series.Drawing from Acts 1:8, Pastor Vinu reminds us that the Christian life is not meant to be lived in our own strength. Jesus told His disciples to wait for the promise of the Father — the Holy Spirit — because true power for life and ministry comes through Him. The same Spirit that was present at creation, empowered the early church, and raised Jesus from the dead is still at work today.Throughout Scripture, we see that God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. The disciples were not the most qualified, confident, or impressive individuals, yet after being filled with the Holy Spirit, they became bold witnesses who helped change the world.This message reminds us that:• The Holy Spirit empowers believers to live beyond their natural ability• God's work is accomplished not by human strength, but by His Spirit• The Holy Spirit strengthens families, leaders, and the Church• God can fill every empty area of our lives with His presence and power• Breakthrough, healing, and transformation are possible through the Spirit of GodPastor Vinu also shares the biblical story of the widow's oil from 2 Kings 4, encouraging us to bring our empty places before God. When we surrender what feels insufficient, God multiplies what we place in His hands.Whether you feel spiritually tired, uncertain, or in need of renewal, this message is an invitation to experience the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit in every area of life.Bring your empty vessel — God is ready to fill it.SUBSCRIBE and get the latest messages: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVIzzCy3Z9Zsk0GwAH-yJ7g?sub_confirmation=1Watch this:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5De6-FwIKq4&t=1sTo support this ministry and help us continue to reach people click here: http://kingschurchkc.com/giveWe are a movement for all people to find and follow Jesus Christ.——Stay ConnectedWebsite: www.kingschurchkc.comKings Church Facebook: Facebook.com/kingschurchkcKings Church Instagram: Instagram.com/kingschurchkc#kingschurch #faith #Christianity #kansascity #onlinechurch #churchonline #hope #churchesinkansascity

The Rise of Replacement Theology and Anti-Jewish Propaganda | KWR-0057 Kingdom War Room Episode Description In this Kingdom War Room roundtable, Dr. Michael Lake is joined by Dr. Mike Spaulding, Dr. Corby Shuey, and Dr. Justin Elwell for a sober, Scripture-centered discussion on replacement theology (supersessionism)—its historical roots, its modern resurgence, and why it fuels dangerous anti-Israel rhetoric in our day. We address: how supersessionism was codified historically and how it continues to shape today's conversations why God's covenants (especially the Abrahamic) are foundational to understanding the entire Bible the warning of Romans 11 and the inconsistency of claiming "Israel is replaced" while still appealing to Israel in end-times frameworks why "unhitching" from the Old Testament throws away the very definitions that make the New Testament intelligible the difference between critiquing a government's policies and condemning an entire people why the remnant must return to the Word of God—with God's definitions—if we're going to stand faithfully in the days ahead

If we want to be people God blesses, we must embrace and embody the characteristics described by Pail in First Thessalonians. Paul was writing to a church he had only spent about a month with, yet during that short time, he discipled them in a tremendous way. My prayer is that what we are studying will be more than information for you. It must become life-changing wisdom. Scripture tells us plainly how this church lived, what they believed, and what they were preparing for. So let's look at this passage together so we can learn from the church God loves.

Are you ready for Jesus to come back? Are you living your life in expectation of Christ's return? As we continue walking verse by verse through 1 Thessalonians, these are questions I want us to consider. We are going to focus on one verse, verse 10, and one defining characteristic of the church God loves, specifically as itrelates to the second coming of Jesus.

Thessaloniki was a city in Greece where Paul had a short ministry, but it was a powerful ministry. Even though Paul was only there for about a month, the Gospel stuck, and the church continued to thrive. Throughout this series, we have been studying the kind of church God loves. God loved this church because of how they lived and who they were. They brought God pleasure. They impacted their lives, their community, and the surrounding area, and Paul describes that church for us in 1 Thessalonians 1:6–10 so we can learn to emulate it.

In Week 4 of our Familiar Stranger series, Pastor Jason Britt shifts our focus to the inner strength available through the Holy Spirit. We often treat the Spirit as an optional guest, but Ephesians 3 reminds us that He is the source of our power, intended to dwell in our hearts through faith. Drawing from Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3:14-19, this message explores what it looks like to be "rooted and grounded" in God's love. It's not just about knowing about God; it's about being filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. If you have felt spiritually depleted or disconnected, this message will help you tap into the "glorious riches" of His strength.   Key takeaways from Week 4: Inner Strength: How the Spirit strengthens your "inner being" to handle outward pressure. The Dwelling: Moving from the Spirit visiting your life to the Spirit residing in your heart. The Dimensions of Love: Grasping the width, length, height, and depth of Christ's love that surpasses knowledge.  

As we have been studying “The Church God Loves,” we have already seen what kind of church captures God's heart. As we resume our study, there is something more to uncover. I want to remind you of Ron Popeil, the father of infomercials, who famously said, “But wait, there is more!” That phrase fits perfectly here. As we move forward in 1 Thessalonians, we uncover more phrases and beliefs we need to embody. As we look at them, we must ask ourselves, “Lord, am I that kind of person? Am I helping my church family become that kind of church?”

Have you ever wondered what makes a church truly effective in God's eyes? In a powerful exploration of Acts 13, Pastor Jeff reveals how the early church in Antioch became a launching pad for world-changing mission. Through prayer, fasting, and bold proclamation of God's Word, this diverse group of believers demonstrated what happens when a church fully depends on the Holy Spirit's power. Whether facing opposition from religious leaders or witnessing miraculous conversions, they remained faithful to their calling. Pastor Jeff shares a personal testimony of God's faithfulness, including an unexpected opportunity to share the Gospel with the New England Patriots. Don't miss this inspiring message about how your church can be used by God to advance His kingdom today! Speaker: Jeff Schwarzentraub

In today's key passage, Paul writes to a young church that had only existed for a few weeks before persecution began. Yet, even in the middle of opposition, this church remained strong and continued to grow. One of the themes that floats through these opening verses is “the church God loves.” I want to be part of a church that God loves. From Paul's writing, we see several key characteristics of a church that God loves.

One of the surprising outcomes of God's Spirit taking up residence in the hearts of Christ-followers is that otherwise ordinary people began developing extraordinary power – power to heal, to serve, to teach, and to speak truth about the very heart of God. This power, otherwise known as the “spiritual gifts” given to believers, is one of the primary ways that God grows, supports, and guides his Church. As we use our Spirit-given gifts to serve, His power shapes the community of faith around us in unexpected ways. In a time when the brokenness of our world seems insurmountable and the Church struggles with division, it can be tempting to allow our faith to become little more than an individualistic relationship between us and God. However, with the Spirit empowering us, we can recover the vision of the Church as the body of Christ in our world and recapture the self-giving love we were created to demonstrate as a community. What might it look like to explore and live into our spiritual giftings in new ways this year as the Spirit empowers us to become the Church God desires?

This sermon provides a foundational understanding of what the church truly is according to Scripture. Pastor Joe Fant systematically dismantles common misconceptions—that church is merely a building, an event, a social club, or a service provider—and establishes three biblical definitions: the church is a gathering of God's people, the body of Christ, and heaven's embassy on earth. The message emphasizes that church membership means being a functioning body part with specific responsibilities, not just holding a membership card. Christians are called to be ambassadors carrying the message of reconciliation to a lost world. The sermon challenges believers to reorient their understanding and commitment to the local church, recognizing it as God's greatest earthly blessing and the primary vehicle through which He advances His gospel. Pastor Joe Fant calls for deeper involvement, faithful gathering, and a shift from consumer mentality to servant mentality, emphasizing that the church exists not for individual preferences but for God's glory and mission. Key Points: The church is not a building, meeting place, event, concert, social club, or service provider The word "church" (ekklesia) means "called out gathering" - it's fundamentally about people gathering together The church is a body where each member is a functioning body part with specific roles and responsibilities Church membership means being a vital, functioning part of the body, not just holding status or a card The church is God's embassy on earth, and believers are ambassadors carrying the message of reconciliation Gathering together is not optional but commanded in Scripture (Hebrews 10:25) Virtual church attendance cannot replace physical gathering as the church is defined by gathering When believers gather, they are to hold fast to confession, stir up one another to love and good works, and encourage each other The church belongs to God, not to individuals, and must operate according to Scripture, not personal preferences Greatest earthly blessing comes through deep involvement in the local church family The gospel message we carry is: "Be reconciled to God" Hymns and traditional songs serve as the bedrock of worship, providing language for life's most important moments Scripture Reference: Matthew 16:18 - "I will build my church" Matthew 18:15-20 - Church discipline and "where two or three are gathered" Romans 12:4-8 - The church as one body with many members having different functions 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 - Believers as ambassadors for Christ with the ministry of reconciliation Hebrews 10:23-25 - Command not to neglect meeting together Ephesians 2:19 - Fellow citizens with the saints Philippians 3 - Citizenship in heaven 1 Corinthians 10:17 - Many are one body
