Pastor Alex Suber delivers a message entitled "Defeating the Spirit of Poverty"

Listen in as Pastor Alex starts our new sermon series The Narrow Path!

This powerful Father's Day message from Pastor Alex reminds us that a father leads his home spiritually. God has called men to be the head and spiritual covering of their families—a role of honor and great responsibility. Generational blessings or curses often hinge on a father's choices. But through Christ, every curse can be broken, and a legacy of righteousness can begin. Dads, your influence matters—walk boldly in your calling, and lead your family in the ways of the Lord.   Ephesians 5:22-23 Ephesians 6:4 Numbers 14:18 Exodus 20:2-5 Genesis 3:9-15 Genesis 3:17-19 Romans 5:12-14 1 Corinthians 15:22 Galatians 3:13 Proverbs 20:7 Psalm 112:1-2 Romans 8:15-16 John 1:12 Psalm 103:13 Ezekiel 18:20

For the final session of the Feast of Pentecost, Dr. Michael Brown shared a powerful word, and we experienced a very special anointing service!  God is calling us to total surrender—to lay our whole lives on the altar as a living sacrifice (Romans 12). His ways are always good, and He's inviting us into a Spirit-empowered adventure where nothing is impossible. There are no superstars—only vessels for His glory.As gifts were stirred and hearts ignited, we were reminded: He's raising up an army ready to say, “Here I am, Lord—send me and use me!” Welcome to Oceans Unite - a place for God's presence.

Faith is the key that unlocks the supernatural. Without it, we can't fully walk in the life God has for us. Faith saves us, justifies us, fuels our prayers, sustains us through trials, and releases the miraculous. But for faith to work, we must lay down doubt and unforgiveness. When we grow in God's Word and deepen our relationship with Him, our faith grows too. If you're believing for breakthrough—faith is your access point.Believe. Ask. Step out. And watch God move. Scripture References: Romans 10:9 Acts 16:31 John 3:16 Galatians 2:26 Galatians 2:16 Romans 4:3 Romans 5:1 Mark 11:24 Mark 11:12-14 Mark 11:20-26 James 1:6-8 Acts 6:8 John 14:12-13 Mark 16:17-18 Mark 9:23 Hebrews 11:27 1 Peter 1:7 Luke 22:31-32 2 Thessalonians 1:3 Romans 1:17 Luke 17:5 Romans 10:17 Hebrews 12:2

In this week's message, Pastor Alex invites us into the raw and honest space of grief and loss through the lens of Lamentations. As we reflect on the sorrow of a broken Jerusalem, we're also invited to name the pain in our own stories. With compassion and insight, Alex reminds us that even in seasons of deep hurt, we are not without hope. God's faithfulness hasn't run out—His mercy meets us in the middle of our lament. Join us as we hold space for grief and discover the quiet strength that comes from trusting a God who never lets go.

This week, Pastor Alex reminded us that we were never meant to live ordinary lives. We are called to walk in the supernatural power of God. The anointing breaks every yoke—it heals, delivers, restores, and sets captives free. Jesus was anointed for a purpose, and as His Church, we are too. Without the anointing, there is no power—but with it, everything changes. Let's prepare our hearts for what God wants to pour out in this season.   Isaiah 10:27 Matthew 3:11-17 Luke 4:1 Luke 4:14-19 Acts 10:38 1 John 3:8 Acts 1:4-8 Acts 14:12 Mark 16:17-18 2 Timothy 3:1-5 Romans 15:19 Ephesians 3:20 John 14:12

In this sermon, Pastor Alex explores the deep desires that shape our lives—both the ones within us and the ones we absorb from the world around us. Looking at the story of the Tower of Babel, he invites us to consider how easily our ambitions can lead us away from God's design for community, humility, and trust. From Genesis to Philippians, we're reminded that the way of Jesus isn't about climbing higher, but about laying down our lives in love. In a world chasing success and self-made stories, this message calls us to root ourselves in something deeper—God's transforming grace and the way of the cross.

For the past five years, Pastor Alex has had a monthly lunch meeting with a few guys to talk about social, racial, and societal issues. We have had black, white, and Latinos men all coming together to share our perspectives, ask questions, and listen to each other. This lunch started after the George Floyd incident in May of 2020 when my friend Hector connected me with Lieutenant Dave Meyer to gain perspective from all sides of that issue. From there, we kept meeting to talk about other issues and events like Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks, Jacob Blake, Tyreek Hill, etc. We discussed all the issues you discussed on social media. Now, we are finally ready to share our conversations with the world. We will do this in a 10-week series of podcasts and then plan on releasing the book next year. “Lunch to Save the World” tells the story of how people from all different walks of life come together to civilly discuss what's going on in our world! Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.

In this message, Pastor Alex explores the deeply human experience of fear—how it shapes our choices, builds walls around our lives, and tempts us to trust ourselves more than God. Drawing from the story of Cain and Jesus' words in Matthew 6, we're invited to consider a counter-cultural way of living: one marked not by self-protection but by trust, gratitude, and surrender. What if the life God offers is less about safety and more about freedom?

In this Easter message, Pastor Alex explores the life-changing hope of Jesus' resurrection. Through personal stories and the Gospel narrative, he reminds us that resurrection isn't just a past event—it's a present reality. Even in the midst of pain, loss, or uncertainty, Jesus brings new life. This sermon invites us to receive the renewal only He can offer and to live as people of resurrection hope.

The resurrection changed everything. The disciples went from fear and doubt to bold, unshakable faith—because they truly knew Jesus. Once they encountered the risen Savior, they were willing to give everything, even their lives. That same resurrection power is available to us today. It's not about religion—it's about surrender and relationship. There's no greater love than His. Do you truly know Him?Mark 14:50 John 20:19 John 20:8-9 Acts 12:2 Philippians 3:10

This Good Friday we reflected on the powerful revelation that there is only One sacrifice. One Savior. Because of the blood of Jesus, death passes over and we are given full access to God.
