Pastor Micah Stephens delivers a dynamic message from Acts 9, exploring the transformative power of the Holy Spirit through Saul's dramatic conversion to Paul. From a zealous persecutor of Christians, Saul becomes a chosen vessel for Christ, illustrating God's ability to redeem even the worst enemies. Pastor Micah contrasts Saul's murderous intent with his radical obedience after encountering Jesus, emphasizing that God's grace turns Satan's plans against him. Drawing from personal anecdotes, like his VBS teaching and family lake trip, he encourages believers to embrace their role as vessels for God's purpose, trusting in His transformative power despite seeming impossibilities. Pastor Micah calls for obedience, urging the church to reject fear and persecution, knowing Christ bears their burdens and uses trials for His glory.Verse References: Acts 9 verses 1–22, Acts 8 verses 1–3, Acts 5 verses 34–39, 1 Corinthians 2 verses 7–8, Hebrews 11 verse 8, 2 Corinthians 5 verse 17, 1 Timothy 1 verses 15–16, 2 Timothy 2 verses 20–21, Genesis 50 verse 20, Acts 9 verse 31, Acts 26 verse 14, Judges 14 verse 4Make 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 Stephens delivers a vibrant Pentecost Sunday message from Acts 2, celebrating the Holy Spirit's descent as the church's birth and guide. He connects Pentecost to its Jewish roots, marking 50 days after Passover when God gave the Law, now fulfilled by the Spirit's indwelling to lead believers through life's wilderness. Emphasizing obedience as the foundation for Spirit-filled living, Pastor Micah contrasts the chaos of Babel with Pentecost's unifying clarity, using anecdotes like Jordan Peterson's philosophical struggles and a polyglot's language mastery. He clarifies that the Spirit's mission is conviction, repentance, and sanctification, not just tongues, calling all to repent and receive the Spirit's promise for clarity, purpose, and power to proclaim Christ's gospel.Verse References: Acts 2 verses 1–41, Luke 22 verses 14–15, Exodus 19 verses 3–6, Genesis 1 verse 2, Genesis 2 verse 7, Genesis 11 verses 1–9, John 16 verses 7–13, 1 Corinthians 6 verse 19, 1 Corinthians 14 verses 1–40Make 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 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. He calls for repentance, submission, and reliance on the Good Shepherd, tying communion to the Passover and the firm foundation of Christ's sacrifice, empowering believers to overcome through faith.Verse References: Matthew 7 verses 13–29, John 14 verse 6, Luke 14 verses 25–33, Luke 9 verse 23, Romans 8 verse 18, James 2 verses 18–20, 1 John 1 verses 8–9, John 10 verses 1–5, James 1 verses 22–26, Romans 8 verse 37, 1 John 5 verses 1–5Make 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.

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.

Pastor Micah preaches at King's Cross Church.

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. Pastor Micah calls for repentance and baptism as acts of faith, identifying with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, and invites the congregation to surrender to a Savior who has loved them since creation's dawn, making this a compelling message for renewal and commitment.Verse References: 1 Corinthians 15:20, Luke 24:1-12, Job 38:6-7, Genesis 1:26-27, Romans 6:5, Colossians 3:1, Galatians 2:20Make 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.

Awaken gathers for its first Easter Sunday in the new building. Pastor Micah discusses Matthew 27-28 and the subversion of expectations throughout the resurrection story, including the many holy bodies that are raised to life in verses 51-53.

In his Palm Sunday sermon "Hosanna In The Highest," Pastor Micah Stephens passionately unpacks the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem as recounted in Matthew 21, challenging listeners to grapple with the pivotal question, "Who is this?" Pastor Micah vividly contrasts the crowd's misguided expectations of a conquering Messiah with Jesus' humble arrival on a donkey, fulfilling prophecy as a peaceful King intent on saving humanity from sin, not merely political oppression. Reflecting on the church's defiant stand during 2020 against restrictive orders, he underscores the importance of true worship—a heart posture of submission to Christ's identity as King, not just a prophet—urging believers to align their lives with God's will through obedience, even when it defies personal comfort or societal norms. This message calls for genuine repentance and a deeper understanding of Jesus' cosmic rescue mission, setting the stage for Holy Week's transformative journey to the cross.Verse References: Matthew 21 verses 1-11, 1 John 4 verse 8, Isaiah 55 verses 8-9, Numbers 4 verse 15, John 12 verse 16, Psalm 150 verses 1-6, Psalm 18 verses 9-10, Micah 6 verse 8, Luke 19 verses 32-34, Matthew 7 verses 21-23, John 12 verse 25Make 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 his sermon "When You Pray," Pastor Micah Stephens draws from the book of Matthew to deliver a heartfelt message about the simplicity and power of prayer, echoing Jesus' teaching that it should be a private, intimate exchange between an individual and God—not a public spectacle performed for human praise, lest that fleeting recognition become the only reward. He highlights Jesus' own reliance on prayer with the Father as a model for believers, urging us to depend on it even more in our own lives, while dispelling the notion that prayer is a complex ritual, magic spell, or wish to a distant deity; instead, it's a direct, face-to-face conversation with God. Pastor Stephens emphasizes the extraordinary privilege we now have through Christ—unhindered access to God—contrasting it with the Old Testament era when Jews depended on animal sacrifices and a high priest to petition God on their behalf, a process so precise that a misstep could cost the priest his life. Today, he reminds us, we often overlook the profound gift of speaking to God directly and receiving answers in Jesus' name.Verse References: Matthew 6 verses 5-15, Luke 11 verses 1-2, John 5 verse 19, John 8 verses 28-29, 1 Kings 26 verse 29, 1 Kings 18 verses 36-39, James 5 verse 16, John 17 verse 1, Matthew 26 verse 39, Matthew 10 verses 29-31, John 6 verse 11, 1 John 1 verse 9, Luke 23 verse 34, 1 Corinthians 10 verse 13, John 17 verse 15, John 11 verses 41-42, Hebrews 10 verses 19-22Make 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 his sermon "Charitable Deeds," part of his ongoing series on the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Micah Stephens preaches from the book of Matthew, cautioning that charitable acts cannot simultaneously seek human applause and divine approval—they are mutually exclusive pursuits. He challenges believers to examine their motives: are their good deeds performed with theatrical flair for public recognition, or quietly to reflect glory to God? Stephens warns against virtue signaling, a trap not limited to the political left but prevalent among Christians too, urging vigilance against the deception that earthly praise equates to God's pleasure. He encourages striving for heavenly rewards, not self-congratulation, so that God alone may judge and affirm us with a "well done," keeping eternity as the focus of our actions.Verse References: Matthew 6 verses 1-4, Matthew 5 verse 16, Revelation 22 verse 12, Luke 4 verses 6-7, Hebrews 6 verse 10, Colossians 3 verses 23-24, Matthew 16 verse 26, John 12 verse 31, 2 Corinthians 9 verse 7, Make 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 preaches at King's Cross Church.

In his sermon "Love Your Enemies," part of his ongoing series on the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Micah Stephens explores the radical call to love those who oppose us by following Christ's example—dying for us while we were still God's enemies. He clarifies that "an eye for an eye" was meant to limit retribution, ensuring punishment fits the crime, not to license unchecked vengeance, while "turning the other cheek" is often misinterpreted as passivity but is actually a strategic de-escalation to break cycles of retaliation. Stephens emphasizes that loving enemies as Jesus did isn't a path to weakness or abuse but a powerful tactic to reflect Christ's love, trusting God's wrath and the Holy Spirit's conviction to transform lives far beyond what human justice or vengeance could achieve. He urges believers to relinquish personal retaliation, allowing God to work in their enemies' hearts through love.Verse References: Matthew 5 verses 38-48, Exodus 21 verses 23-25, Proverbs 16 verse 32, Proverbs 26 verse 4, Romans 12 verses 19-21, Acts 20 verse 35, Luke 6 verse 45, 2 Timothy 3 verses 16-27, Romans 5 verse 8Make 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.
