Throughout this series, Pastor David exposits through a full chapter of scripture with you – verse by verse, point by point. Each part in this detailed series culminates by highlighting some of the many ways each chapter parallels […] The post Proverbs 1 – Understanding Wisdom's Beginning & Call first appeared on Enduring Word.
Pastor David shares about answering the key question in life and the keys to stepping into the purpose you have in Christ.
When life hurts and heaven feels silent, what do you do?In this message from Mosaic's With series, Pastor David takes us into the Garden of Gethsemane—where Jesus wrestled with pain, loneliness, and obedience. If you've ever asked, “Why is this happening?” or “Where is God in all this?”—you're not alone. And more importantly, you're not abandoned.This episode explores:• Why suffering tempts us to believe lies about God and ourselves• How prayer reconnects us to God when nothing else makes sense• What Jesus' humanity teaches us about living with courage and hope• How God repurposes pain for redemptive goodRaw, honest, and full of grace—this is a message for anyone walking through the dark night of the soul.

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Yesterday, Pastor David shared a powerful message about what it really means to make Jesus the focal point of our homes. As we celebrated families dedicating their children to the Lord, he walked us through Ephesians 5 and 6, showing how Paul gives us practical ways to live out our faith within our families. When we walk in the way of love like Jesus, we walk in the Spirit, and that's where true transformation happens in our homes and lives.|| ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.

Sunday Morning Message - "Battling for God's Blessings"In this message from November 9, Teaching Pastor David Jett leads us through Ephesians 6:10–20 as we continue our Journey Through Ephesians series. In this powerful passage, Pastor David reminds us that we are in a daily spiritual battle and must be equipped with the full armor of God to stand firm against the enemy's schemes. Through truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, and the Word of God, believers are strengthened to live victoriously in Christ. He also emphasizes the importance of prayer and dependence on the Holy Spirit as we fight not in our own strength, but in the mighty power of the Lord.
You can have everything — comfort, convenience, abundance — and still feel empty. So what do you do when you feel full but not fulfilled? In this second message from our Community of Practice series, Pastor David unpacks the ancient practice of fasting through the story of Esther — a young woman who faced crisis, fear, and calling in the middle of an indulgent empire. Fasting isn't about self-punishment; it's about spiritual hunger. It's how we push back against a world obsessed with “more” and rediscover the quiet strength of surrender. Learn four reasons why followers of Jesus still fast today — to offer ourselves to God, grow in holiness, amplify prayer, and stand with the poor — and discover how even small acts of hunger can change hearts, homes, and history
Pastor David teaches from 2 Timothy 2 on the way Christians can "endure everything."

Welcome to Newbreed Christian Community!Our September series, “SIT WALK STAND,” presses deeper into the believer's posture of victory with a powerful teaching from Pastor David Oghenerobor titled: “THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD”The Christian life is not a casual stroll — it's a strategic stand. We are called to resist, to endure, and to overcome — fully armed by the Spirit. To stand firm in a world of opposition, you cannot be half-covered; you must be fully clothed in God's own armour.In this profound teaching, Pastor David unveils:The spiritual technology behind the armour of GodHow each piece — truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word — fortifies your standWhy partial armour leaves the believer vulnerableHow to engage prayer as the breath that animates every weapon- You don't win battles by fear — you win by fortification.- The armour of God is not for decoration — it's for dominion.- Strength is sustained where revelation meets readiness.This week, be fully clothed for victory. Let your mind be guarded by truth, your heart by righteousness, and your hands by the sword of the Spirit. The call is clear — stand your ground, fully armed.

Sunday, November 2, 2025Judge #1: OthnielJudges 3:7-11 (NLT) The Israelites did evil in the LORD's sight. They forgot about the LORD their God, and they served the images of Baal and the Asherah poles. Then the LORD burned with anger against Israel, and he turned them over to King Cushan-rishathaim of Aram-naharaim. And the Israelites served Cushan-rishathaim for eight years. But when the people of Israel cried out to the LORD for help, the LORD raised up a rescuer to save them. His name was Othniel, the son of Caleb's younger brother, Kenaz. The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he became Israel's judge. He went to war against King Cushan-rishathaim of Aram, and the LORD gave Othniel victory over him. So there was peace in the land for forty years. Then Othniel son of Kenaz died.LESSON: It's not enough to be gifted and obedient; we must depend on the Spirit's power in everything we do.Judge #2: EhudJudges 3:12-7 (NLT) Once again the Israelites did evil in the LORD's sight, and the LORD gave King Eglon of Moab control over Israel because of their evil. Eglon enlisted the Ammonites and Amalekites as allies, and then he went out and defeated Israel, taking possession of Jericho, the city of palms. And the Israelites served Eglon of Moab for eighteen years. But when the people of Israel cried out to the LORD for help, the LORD again raised up a rescuer to save them. His name was Ehud son of Gera, a left-handed man of the tribe of Benjamin. The Israelites sent Ehud to deliver their tribute money to King Eglon of Moab. So Ehud made a double-edged dagger that was about a foot long, and he strapped it to his right thigh, keeping it hidden under his clothing. He brought the tribute money to Eglon, who was very fat.LESSON: Be fully available to God—even when you feel limited or less than capable.Judge #3: ShamgarJudges 3:31 (NLT) After Ehud, Shamgar son of Anath rescued Israel. He once killed 600 Philistines with an ox goad.LESSON: Stand strong and give what you have, even if there are limited resources.NEXT STEPSDepend Daily - Begin each day this week with a simple prayer: “Holy Spirit, I depend on You today. Lead me, empower me, and help me not to rely on myself.”Be Available - Ask God to show you one area where you've been holding back because you felt inadequate and say yes to His leading.Use What You Have - Identify one resource, relationship, or skill you already have that could serve God or someone in need this week and act on it.

You weren't made to just survive the grind. Psalm 1 paints a vision of a rooted, flourishing life — one that stays steady even when everything else feels uncertain. In this opening message from our new series Community of Practice, Pastor David invites us to slow down and rediscover the beauty of Scripture as a lived experience, not just something to study. Through a simple and practical rhythm called SOAP — Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer — we'll learn to meet God in His Word and let His truth shape the way we work, rest, and live.
Pastor David kicks off our series in 2 Timothy with a message on how faith, gifts and the Holy Spirit are in every believer.
This week in worship, Pastor David begins a series on blessings, those we give and those we get. It is All Saints Day, and we explore the ways that we are called to be saints of the Lord, living our lives in a way that sets us apart from others.
Light exposes what darkness tries to hide—and Jesus invites us out of hiding into healing. In this message, Pastor David shows how the gospel moves us from Isolation → Invitation, Lies → Truth, Secrecy → Confession, and Spectators → Siblings through Christ's cleansing blood and the practice of confession and prayer together.
Join us as Pastor David talks about baptism!

In the final message of our Hebrews series, Pastor David Maestas teaches from Hebrews 12, a chapter that calls believers to endurance, maturity, and unwavering focus on Jesus. Hebrews 12 reminds us that the Christian life is a race — one that requires discipline, perseverance, and intentionality. We are surrounded by the legacy of those who ran before us (Hebrews 11), inspiring us to keep moving forward when life feels heavy. Pastor David explores how: God's discipline isn't punishment — it's proof of His love. Trials build spiritual endurance and strength. We are called to throw off the sin and distractions that slow us down. Fixing our eyes on Jesus gives us the courage to keep going. The discipline you're experiencing isn't God's rejection — it's His preparation. The race is long, but you're not running it alone. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the One who began your story and will faithfully finish it. SUBSCRIBE to our channel for more like this!
This weekend, we begin a new series called A Beautiful Way Forward. Since last November, our church family has been praying about all that God has in store for First Orlando in the years ahead. In this message, Pastor David Uth shares an exciting update about what God is doing in our church and how four foundational commitments, being mission driven, rooted in God's Word, marked by humility, and motivated by love, can guide us forward. These next few weeks will be memorable at First Orlando, and we invite you to be part of what God is doing. (10/26/2025)
Join us as Pastor David shares about how Christ loved the Church and how that relates to being a husband.
"You can't love Jesus and reject truth—He is truth." In this powerful message, Pastor David Grobler dives deep into what it truly means to live in truth—not just knowing facts, but aligning your life with God's nature. Truth isn't an idea—it's a Person. Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” Pastor David reveals how lies divide, truth heals, and how the Holy Spirit—the Spirit of Truth—guides us into freedom. The devil's oldest tactic is deception, but when we walk in truth, we walk in victory. Truth may hurt at first like surgery, but it heals what lies only numb. God doesn't expose to shame—He exposes to restore.
"Unity: The Power That Moves Heaven and Earth" In this message, Pastor David Grobler explores the divine principle of unity—from the Godhead in Genesis to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts. Unity isn't just a concept; it's the very nature of God Himself. When believers walk in one accord, heaven responds. But when division enters—whether in marriage, church, or community—the enemy gains ground. Through powerful illustrations and scripture, Pastor David reveals how unity brings strength, authority, and the presence of God, while division destroys. The same Spirit that unites the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit longs to unite us as one body.
In this episode, Pastor David explores what it really means to become like Jesus—not just in belief, but in everyday mission. Through Scripture, story, and real-life examples, he reminds us that formation always leads to mission: we're shaped by Jesus to be sent with Jesus. Discover how ordinary moments in work, family, and community can become sacred spaces where God's kingdom breaks in. To become like Jesus is to be on mission with Jesus.
Pastor David shares about saying yes to others from Philippians 2.
An important observation about the first half of Ecclesiastes is that there is only one imperative. Most of the these chapters is descriptive, observations of Solomon's about life under the sun. Adding to the vapor and shepherding the wind that characterizes life is the futility of envy, loneliness, and fame. Listen to Pastor David's sermon on Ecclesiastes 4:4-16 for more.
Welcome to Wellspring Church!This week, Pastor David Norris continued our Love and Listen series in Deuteronomy 16:18–20, exploring God's call for His people to be marked by justice rooted in love. As Moses prepared Israel to enter the Promised Land, he reminded them that prosperity without righteousness quickly decays—“milk and honey plus bribery and theft and murder and injustice is gonna wear out real soon.”Pastor David helped us see that justice in Scripture isn't simply a legal system—it's a way of life that reflects the very heart of God. While modern culture tends to define justice through our own experiences or ideologies, biblical justice begins with God's character—His steadfast love for the vulnerable and His willingness to step into human suffering.
Our Compassion, Peace, and Justice Team has worked with Pastor David to bring you services of peace this week. We all need more peace in our world, and that starts with peace in our own lives. Together we will explore the world through the eyes of those who are most vulnerable - the poor, the widow, the immigrant, and the orphan.

Every believer has two callings: one general and one specific.Our general calling is to love God, love people, pray, share the Good News, and worship.Our specific calling is where God has uniquely placed us: as teachers, creatives, builders, parents, business owners, missionaries, etc.Pastor David reminds us that our daily work isn't just physical, but that it's spiritual too. God has given each of us a role in His Kingdom, and He's given our church a calling too.To learn more about Cross Points, check out our website:http://crosspointschurch.comTo stay up to date, check out our social media:Instagram: @crosspointskcFacebook: Cross Points ChurchYoutube: CrossPointsKCTwitter: @crosspointskc

We Give Freely Have you ever let anger, pride, or offense write a chapter of your story you wish you could erase? In 1 Samuel 25, we meet three people who respond to conflict in three very different ways: Nabal, who hoards; David, who reacts; and Abigail, who gives. Their story asks us a simple but powerful question—when this season of your life is retold, what kind of story will it be? This week, Pastor David unpacks how generosity isn't just about what we give—it's about the kind of person we become. Because generosity doesn't just change what you give; it changes the story your life tells. 1 Samuel 25 Discussion topics Icebreaker - In every season, you'll meet a Nabal, need an Abigail, and battle the David within you. The question isn't which one you admire — it's which one you're becoming. Scripture Reflection (Read 1 Samuel 25:2-11) a. What stands out to you about Nabal's attitude and response? b. Where do you see a “Nabal mindset” show up in our culture today — or even in your own life? How does entitlement or fear keep us from being generous? Practical Application - Think about a moment recently when you had to choose between reacting in anger or responding in wisdom. What did you learn from it? Where might God be calling you to live more generously — not just with money, but with your words, time, or grace? Personal Reflection (Read 1 Samuel 25:12-13 & 21-22) a. David went from patience (with Saul) to rage (with Nabal) in a single chapter. Why do you think that happened? b. When have you found yourself “strapping on your sword” — reacting instead of responding? What helps you pause before you make a decision that might write a story you'll regret? Next Steps - Who is someone that God has placed on your heart to be an Abigail to? Will you take time and intentionally invite them to sit with you during At The Movies?
