Pastor Micah Stephens concludes the Sermon on the Mount series with a powerful message from Matthew 7, urging believers to choose the narrow road of obedience to Christ. He presents three binary contrasts—two gates (narrow to life, wide to destruction), two trees (good fruit or bad), and two foundations (rock or sand)—emphasizing that true discipleship requires doing, not just hearing, God's Word. Using personal anecdotes, like Jordan Peterson's hesitation to claim Christianity, and cultural critiques, Pastor Micah warns against false prophets and deceptive doctrines that lure toward the wide path.

Pastor Micah continues the Encounters series by looking at Mattew 28:16-20. The disciples went to Galilee to the mountain to see Jesus and when they saw him, some worshipped and some doubted.
In this sermon, Pastor Micah Stephens explores Matthew 6:19-24 from the Sermon on the Mount, urging believers to choose heavenly treasures over earthly ones. He emphasizes Jesus' teaching on giving, praying, and fasting as acts of obedience that yield divine rewards when done with a pure heart, not for worldly recognition. Pastor Micah warns against the hypocrisy of seeking earthly rewards like wealth and glory, which reveal a divided loyalty to mammon rather than God. Through vivid illustrations, including the story of John Harper on the Titanic, he calls Christians to fix their gaze on Christ, prioritizing eternal values over fleeting worldly gains, and to serve God alone as their master, ensuring their heart aligns with heavenly treasures.Verse References: Isaiah 55 verse 8, Romans 6 verse 16, Matthew 6 verses 19-24, Luke 12 verses 33-34, 1 Timothy 6 verses 10-11, Philippians 4 verses 11-13, John 12 verses 42-43, Matthew 10 verse 32, Colossians 3 verses 1-2, Luke 17 verse 32, Acts 16 verse 31Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

Pastor Micah continues the Encounters series with Acts 9:1-19 where Paul is confronted by Jesus on the road to Damascus. Micah discusses the context of Paul's conversion and the significance of Ananias's actions and our invitation to embody peacemaking in a similar way.
In this sermon, Pastor Micah Stephens dives into Matthew 6:16-18, continuing his series on the Sermon on the Mount by exploring the often-overlooked Christian discipline of fasting. He clarifies that biblical fasting involves complete abstinence from food, not merely abstaining from certain foods or non-food items, distinguishing it from simply stopping sinful behaviors. Pastor Micah emphasizes that New Testament fasting is not for atonement but for drawing closer to Christ, the atoner, and cultivating a hunger for God's presence and kingdom. Through practical applications and scriptural examples, he challenges believers to fast regularly for repentance, guidance, desperation, and spiritual hunger, urging them to avoid the hypocritical displays of the Pharisees and pursue fasting with a heart focused on God alone.Verse References: Matthew 6 verses 16-18, Leviticus 16 verses 29-30, Hebrews 9 verse 12, Matthew 9 verses 14-15, Joel 2 verse 12, Acts 13 verses 2-3, Acts 14 verse 23, Esther 4 verse 16, 2 Samuel 12 verse 16, Zechariah 7 verse 5, John 6 verse 35, Matthew 4 verse 4, Deuteronomy 8 verse 3, Romans 8 verse 13, Colossians 3 verse 5Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

In this Resurrection Sunday sermon, Pastor Micah Stephens passionately explores the transformative power of Jesus' resurrection through Luke 24:1-12, emphasizing the angelic perspective that challenges believers with the question, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?” He connects Christ's fulfillment of Old Testament feasts—Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits—to God's eternal plan, urging listeners to embrace the living hope of resurrection power.
