God being sovereign, means that He is in the details. Watch and listen as Pastor Jimmy describes how God was in the details when it comes to the Christmas story.
This week we'll listen to one of the most powerful cries ever heard, the cry that came from a cross. It's a cry of sacrifice, forgiveness, and victory. Join us as we explore The Cry of the Cross: God For Us, and discover how Christ's love still speaks hope into our lives today.
We live in a world filled with noise, conflict, fear, and distraction. But into that world Jesus came announcing something radical: Peace. Not the fragile, temporary peace the world offers— but peace with God, peace within ourselves, and peace with one another. This week, Pastor Jimmy walks us through Scripture to show how the gospel brings reconciliation with God, how the Holy Spirit forms peace within us, and how believers are called to live peaceably with all.
Have you ever felt caught between celebrating Christmas's joy while keeping Jesus at the center? Pastor Jimmy explores this tension through John the Baptist's powerful example of preparation and purpose. Like John, we're called to be messengers pointing others to Jesus in this "middle time" between His first and second coming. Through practical insights about repentance, spiritual rhythms, and authentic transformation, this message offers hope for experiencing absolute freedom and a deeper connection with Christ this Advent season. Don't miss this timely reminder to make room for Jesus amid holiday busyness—discover how to prepare your heart to celebrate the greatest gift ever given.
Pastor Jimmy takes a look at the awe inspiring nature of the messianic prophecies.
Christmas is filled with unforgettable sounds, laughter around the table, familiar songs on the radio, the rustle of wrapping paper, and the excited voices of children. But long before any of those sounds filled our homes, there were three cries that filled heaven and earth. These cries tell the real story of Christmas. The cry of a baby in a manger… the cry of a Savior on a cross… and the victorious cry that still echoes in the hearts of believers today. Each one reveals something powerful about God's love for us. Each one draws us closer to the heart of Jesus. And each one invites us to see Christmas not just as a season, but as a story, our story. Over the next three weeks, we're going to lean in and listen to these cries. Because when we understand them, we understand the true meaning of Christmas and the depth of God's love in a way that changes everything.
This weekend, Pastor Jimmy reminded us that Romans 10 gives incredible clarity about who Jesus is and how we can know God. That clarity creates real urgency—because while everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, many around us still haven't heard. And that urgency is what drives us to action through church planting, so more people have the opportunity to hear, believe, and call on Jesus.
In this powerful message, Pastor Jimmy Miller explores one of the most overlooked miracles in the Gospels—Jesus walking on water—not simply as rescue, but as revelation. The disciples had just witnessed the supernatural multiplication of the loaves, yet only hours later, they panicked in a storm because they failed to gain insight from what they had just seen.This episode exposes why many believers experience breakthrough but still battle fear—the miracle was seen, but the message was missed.Through Mark 6, Job 9, Exodus 33, and John 18, Pastor Jimmy reveals how Jesus isn't merely helping us through storms; He is revealing Himself in them. When Jesus “intended to pass by” the disciples, it echoed the Old Testament theophanies where God passed by Moses and Elijah to reveal His glory. The storm wasn't punishment— it was a classroom. The struggle wasn't abandonment— it was an invitation to recognize Him.Discover how:A storm becomes a pop quiz on yesterday's revelationMiracles reveal His nature, not just His powerA hardened heart can serve faithfully yet still miss insightJesus' declaration “I AM” carries the same divine weight that dropped soldiers to the ground in John 18Understanding ends striving—the moment Jesus steps in, the wind stopsYou'll learn why God is not simply trying to rescue you—He's trying to reveal Himself to you, strengthen you, and prepare you for what He has prepared for you.This teaching will deepen your understanding of storms, revelation, divine identity, and the presence of God that passes by—not to avoid you, but to invite you into greater recognition.

Hey friends, Pastor Jimmy here. I want to invite you to this week's episode of the Authentic Life podcast and our message called “Grace In, Gratitude Grown, Generosity Out.” We're looking at how God's greatest gift in John 3:16 shows us that generosity starts in the heart — and how what we release into God's hands can create a harvest far beyond what we see. If you're ready to live with open hands, deeper purpose, and a heart shaped by God's love, don't miss “Grace In, Gratitude Grown, Generosity Out.”
True generosity doesn't begin with guilt—it begins with grace. In this message, Pastor Jimmy reminds us that generosity is the overflow of God's unmerited favor. When we understand that every breath, gift, and resource comes from Him, giving becomes a joy, not a burden. From 2 Corinthians 8–9, we see the Macedonian believers give with joy amid poverty because they first gave themselves to the Lord. Grace came down—and generosity flowed out.
Pastor Jimmy returns to talk about freedom in worship and prayer by looking at the life of David.
You're invited to join us on this week's podcast as we unpack one of Jesus' most powerful miracles—the healing of the ten lepers, and discover why only one came back. In this message, we explore: How obedience opens the door to God's miracles Why gratitude leads to wholeness, not just healing How Jesus restores what isolation tries to steal The life-changing difference between being blessed… and being transformed If you've ever cried out for God's help, waited on His timing, or longed to grow deeper in gratitude, this episode will speak directly to your heart.
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.

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.

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.

One initially refused but later obeyed, while the other agreed at first but ultimately did not go.Join us as Pastor Mike unpacks this parable, showing us what it means for our actions to align with our words—and why true obedience is far greater than the appearance of obedience.If you're new to Harbor or want to get connected in any way click this link to get your New Here gift, find upcoming events or get involved!https://harborchurch.com/connect
Rev. Dr. Jimmie Hicks, Jr - Senior Pastor at Start Right Church
Have you ever wondered what holds you back from experiencing the fullness of God's power in your life? Pastor Jimmy delivers a powerful message about the critical importance of being filled with the Holy Spirit after salvation. Drawing from Matthew 12:44, he warns that when evil spirits find a "cleaned but empty house" - representing a saved but Spirit-unfilled believer - they return with even greater force. Through vivid examples and urgent teaching, Pastor Jimmy emphasizes that salvation through Jesus cleanses us, but being filled with the Holy Spirit provides the power to live victoriously and resist returning to old patterns. He particularly focuses on the "spirit of perversion" that tries to normalize sin and compromise in believers' lives, from dress to relationships. The message culminates in a call for Christians to reject perverse thinking that divides and limits us, and instead embrace our full identity as heirs of Abraham's promise through Christ. This teaching challenges believers to move beyond mere salvation to complete submission to the Lordship of Christ through the indwelling Holy Spirit.
Pastor Jimmy continues in the book of acts through chapter 4 looking at what is true of us through the reality of the cross.

Rev. Dr. Jimmie Hicks, Jr - Senior Pastor at Start Right Church
What happens when jealousy creeps into our hearts? Through a powerful examination of Cain and Abel's story, Pastor Jimmie reveals how the spirit of jealousy destroys relationships and hinders God's work. Like Cain who became angry when his offering wasn't accepted, we often let comparison and resentment poison our perspective. The pastor shares a striking insight: God doesn't accept what we think is right unless it aligns with what He says is right.Drawing from examples like King Saul's jealousy of David and the religious leaders' envy of Paul's ministry, Pastor Jimmy shows how this destructive spirit manifests through suspicion, resentment, and division. He emphasizes that each person has a unique calling from God - "I'm the best Jimmy Hicks Jr. anyone can be, and you're the best you anyone can be." The key is staying focused on God's specific plan for your life rather than comparing yourself to others.The sermon concludes with an inspiring testimony of how God's faithfulness exceeded all expectations in the church's ministry, from paying off the building to community development projects. The message calls believers to celebrate others' victories while trusting God's unique purpose for their lives. "Where God guides, He provides," Pastor Jimmie affirms.
