This week in Part 4 of the “Submitted Leaders” series, Pastor Alvin teaches on the power of submission and the supernatural strength God gives His people. Using 1 Peter 2 and Luke 2, he shows how even Jesus grew by submitting to others—and how we can too. This message will challenge you to lead differently, stay humble, and allow God to use your meekness for eternal impact.

In Part 3 of our Submitted Leaders series, Pastor Alvin unpacks why spiritual authority always begins with natural submission. Drawing from the lives of Abraham, David, and even Jesus, we're reminded that God's process for leadership involves humility, obedience, and development—starting with how we respond to earthly authority.

This Easter, Pastor Alvin brought a powerful word on one of the most challenging—but transformative—topics in the Christian faith: forgiveness. What if God's forgiveness wasn't easy for Him either? What if He had to push past deep hurt—just like we do—to forgive us? In this message, we reflect on how hurt and forgiveness are often inseparable, and how our ability to forgive others reveals whether we've truly received God's forgiveness ourselves.

This week at Nashville Life, Pastor Alvin builds on last week's message about repentance—challenging us to move from just feeling sorry to truly following through. Repentance starts in the soul, but it's not complete until it reaches our actions. Through practical steps and biblical examples like Zacchaeus, we learn how to protect our momentum, activate lasting change, and walk in the fullness of God's grace.

Repentance isn't remorse, regret, or even saying sorry — it's a change of your will. In this message, Pastor Alvin teaches that for anything truly good to happen in your life, repentance is not just important — it's necessary. Learn how repentance is the first step in accepting the gospel, why your will (not your spirit) is where real change begins, and how to protect your spiritual momentum through human accountability. "You can be sorry and not done — repentance happens when you decide you're done with your own way."

This passionate and powerful message reminds us of the transformational power of the Gospel—how Jesus didn't just rise for Himself but brought us with Him. Through vivid storytelling and Scripture, Pastor Alvin unpacks how Christ got beneath our brokenness, lifted us out of death, and raised us to life.

This week at Nashville Life, Pastor Alvin shared a powerful message celebrating our 13th Anniversary about the seed of God's Word and the soil of our hearts. Drawing parallels between the human body and the body of Christ, we're reminded that while God's Word is perfect and full of purpose, it requires a receptive heart to bear fruit. If you've ever wondered why God's promises feel delayed or distant, this message will challenge and encourage you. Be inspired to tend to the soil of your heart, embrace the identity God has given you, and step boldly into the destiny He's planted inside of you.

This week at Nashville Life, Pastor Alvin delivers a powerful message on the value of our calling and the transformation that follows. Looking at the life of Abraham, we see that God calls us just as we are—but He doesn't leave us there. Instead, He leads us through a process of change, shaping us into the image of Jesus, and multiplying His work in us to impact others. I f you've ever struggled with doubt, distractions, or resistance to change, this message is for you. Be encouraged to say "yes" to God's call, embrace His transformation, and step into the greater purpose He has for your life!
