Pastor Jimmy returns to talk about freedom in worship and prayer by looking at the life of David.
Hey friends, this is Pastor Jimmy, and I want to personally invite you to join me for this week's episode of the Authentic Life podcast. The message is called “Faith Drives Actions,” and we're talking about what real faith looks like when it's put into motion. Faith isn't just believing something — it's believing so deeply that it changes the way you live, love, and lead every day. When our faith is alive, it shows up in our choices, our compassion, and our courage. It pushes us to move when fear says “stay still,” to give when the world says “keep,” and to trust when life doesn't make sense.

Have you ever gone through a season where you felt like all you were doing was sowing — sowing prayers, sowing effort, sowing tears, and wondering if you'd ever see the results? In this final message of our Harvest of the Heart series, we're talking about the joy that comes when God brings the increase, when the seeds planted in faith finally break through into blessing. So whether you're in a season of planting, growing, or waiting, this message will remind you that God's harvest always comes in His time, and when it does, it brings joy that overflows.
What does it really mean to go from death to life? In this message from Ephesians 2, we are unpacking our condition without Christ, God's powerful intervention through grace, and the new identity and unity we receive through Jesus. If you've ever questioned your worth, your purpose, or your place in God's family, this message is for you.If you'd like to follow along as we read Ephesians together, text “BIBLE” to 508-500-6656.

Have you ever felt like God is running late? Like you're praying, believing, doing all the right things… but nothing seems to be moving? In today's message, “Waiting on God's Timing, Patience in the Process,” we're going to look at what Scripture says about the seasons of waiting, those in-between moments when faith is tested, trust is stretched, and patience is grown. From Ecclesiastes 3, we're reminded that there is a time for everything and that God makes all things beautiful in His time. Waiting isn't a punishment; it's preparation. God is working in ways you can't see to bring about something far greater than you can imagine. So if you've ever wondered where God is in the silence, or why His clock doesn't match yours, this message is for you. Let's lean in and discover how waiting on God can actually grow what rushing never will.
This sermon, "The Art of the Surge," from Pastor Jimmy Miller is a call to change the believer's mindset from one of defense and mere survival to one of aggressive faith and unstoppable advancement. The message aims to restore the understanding that Christians are overcomers, conquerors, and world-changers who are not meant to be perpetually on the defensive.Real Life Church is an independent congregation located in Greer, SC.

Welcome back to the Harvest of the Heart series, where we're learning how God grows lasting fruit in our lives. In this week's message, ‘Cultivating Obedience, Pulling Weeds and Nurturing Growth,' we look at one of Jesus' most powerful teachings from John chapter 15. He said, ‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.' Just like a garden needs constant care, pulling weeds, watering, and pruning, our spiritual lives need the same attention. Obedience isn't about following rules; it's about staying connected to the Vine and allowing God to shape us into something fruitful and life-giving. So get ready to dig in as we discover how to pull the weeds that choke our faith, nurture the habits that lead to growth, and trust the Gardener who's working for our good, even when the pruning hurts. Here's Week Two: ‘Cultivating Obedience.' Let's grow together.
Harvest of the Heart asks What seeds are you planting in your life right now? Every choice, every act of faith, every step of obedience shapes the harvest you'll reap tomorrow. This month at ALF, we're digging into a brand-new sermon series, Harvest of the Heart. Together we'll discover how God grows faith, joy, and blessing in our lives when we sow His Word and trust His timing. Watch this message on the Authentic Life Fellowship Facebook or YouTube channel.

We're continuing our sermon series “A Clean Slate” this Sunday! Last week, we celebrated God's amazing forgiveness of us through Jesus.

Welcome to today's message from our series A Clean Slate. Everybody loves the idea of a fresh start, a new journal, a clean house, or even that reset button on your phone when things stop working. But the greatest clean slate isn't found in a gadget or a fresh notebook. It's found in God's forgiveness. In this first part of our series, Clean Slate: God's Forgiveness of Us, we'll discover how God, through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ, doesn't just cover over our mistakes; He completely removes them. Forgiveness is not about ignoring sin; it's about the debt being fully paid so that we can walk in freedom, peace, and joy. So grab your Bible, open your heart, and get ready for a message that will remind you: no matter your past, in Christ you can truly have… a clean slate.

September is Suicide Prevention Month, and in this message, we're going to talk about something very real and very close to God's heart: the value of life, the struggles that can make it hard to see that value, and the importance of reaching out and listening when those around us are hurting. This is not just a sermon, it's a conversation about hope, healing, and the reminder that every single life matters to God. If you've ever walked through seasons of despair, or if you love someone who has, my prayer is that this message will bring you encouragement, courage, and the confidence to speak life into those moments. So, let's lean in together and discover how God's Word reminds us that even in our darkest valleys, we are never alone.” Pastor Jimmy Watch this message on the Authentic Life Fellowship Facebook or YouTube channel.

As we continue our Promises Made, Promises Kept series, Pastor Jimmy unpacks Genesis 13 and what it means to trust God in the space between his promises and their fulfillment. Abram finds himself on rocky ground—literally and spiritually—facing the tension between what looks good and what God has called him to. Pastor Jimmy explores the illusion of control, the challenge of trust, and the deep assurance that God's presence is the true blessing, even when the path feels uncertain.
This week, Pastor Jimmy challenges us to stand firm and see God's salvation in the face of impossible situations, reminding us that the problem isn't God's power — it's our perspective. When fear clouds our vision, faith invites us to trust that God is working, even when the way forward seems impossible.
ABOUT THIS MESSAGE The topic of the Holy Spirit is arguably the most divisive topic across the church world. But the early disciples knew and experienced the power and presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives. So what does that mean for our faith today? In part 5 of our series, “Simple Faith”, Pastor Jimmy explains what the early disciples knew about the Holy Spirit - before the debates, before the confusion, before the division - and how we can live differently today.

Join us as Pastor Jimmy teaches through Ruth 4.
As we begin our Courage in the Fire series, Pastor Jimmy explores how God works powerfully in the lives of His people, starting with Daniel chapter 1. He challenges us to consider that the same God who intervened for Daniel wants to work in our lives today—but that begins with embracing a different vision for life, one shaped by Jesus rather than the culture around us. Pastor Jimmy explains that true transformation starts with daily, faithful choices—small acts of obedience that align with God's vision and ultimately shape our destiny.
