Not all wisdom is created equal. In this episode, Pastor Stephen Mizell from Open Door Church in Edenton, NC, tackles one of the most critical questions facing believers today: Where is your wisdom coming from—and where is it taking you? Continuing the Integrated series through the book of James, Pastor Stephen unpacks James chapters 3 and 4 to reveal the stark difference between earthly wisdom and godly wisdom.  In This Episode You'll Discover: Why "garbage in, garbage out" isn't just about media—it's about the wisdom sources shaping your life The three characteristics of earthly (demonic) wisdom that lead to disorder and evil Seven qualities of godly wisdom that produce righteousness and peace The four internal wars every believer faces: frustrated desires, pride, friendship with the world, and resistance to God A powerful challenge to take physical action that represents spiritual surrender Key Scripture: James 3:13-18, James 4:1-10 Whether you're wrestling with a major life decision or just trying to navigate daily challenges with godly wisdom, this message will equip you to discern which voice you're listening to—and how to align your life with God's truth. About the Integrated Series: How do we integrate our faith with our life? This series explores the book of James to answer the question: "We say we believe this—but how do we actually live it?"

"Shake It Lose" Pastor Stephen McCoy 1.18.25

What if the church's biggest problem isn't hatred, but the subtle ways we treat people differently? In this week's message from our "Integrated" series, Pastor Stephen Mizell confronts a truth that hits closer to home than we'd like to admit: we all have prejudices. Drawing from James 2, this sermon challenges us to examine how we show favoritism—whether based on wealth, appearance, motivation, or countless other factors. Pastor Stephen reminds us that every person who walks through our doors is created in the image of God and deserves the same mercy we desperately need. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Everyone has prejudices—the question is how we respond to what we see Faith and favoritism cannot coexist in the life of a believer We want "TSA PreCheck mercy" for ourselves but "cavity search mercy" for others The royal law: Love your neighbor as yourself (James 2:8) Mercy triumphs over judgment because mercy looks like the King SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: James 2:1-13 Matthew 5:3 (Sermon on the Mount - Blessed are the poor in spirit) This message will challenge you to ask: Who do I instinctively honor? Who do I subtly overlook? And if Jesus walked into our church as inconspicuously as He arrived in a manger, how would we treat Him?

This week we have Pastor Stephen preaching a message on giving. What are your intentions behind giving? What should they be? Find out in this sermon.

Prepare the way to receive the Good News of Jesus and His Kingdom.

"Anchored In The Storm" Pastor Stephen McCoy 1.11.25

What if the biggest lie you'll ever hear isn't from the culture, the media, or even the enemy - but from yourself? In this week's message from the book of James, Pastor Stephen Mizell tackles one of the most common problems in the church today: we're information-rich but obedience-poor. Drawing from James 1:19-27, Pastor Stephen uses the powerful metaphor of a mirror to show how God's Word reveals who we really are. But here's the challenge: are we just glancing at our reflection and walking away unchanged, or are we allowing what we see to transform us? Why asking for "deep teaching" might actually be an excuse for disobedience The three big blockers that prevent us from hearing God (speaking too quickly, anger, and casual sin) How you can sit in church week after week and remain completely unchanged The dangerous tension between purity and compassion—and why we need both Why social justice without Jesus is no justice at all "God's word reveals our reality, but our obedience is what releases our transformation." ABOUT OPEN DOOR CHURCH Open Door Church is located in Edenton, NC, where Pastor Stephen Mizell serves as lead pastor. We are a fellowship of believers whose lives are being transformed by Jesus Christ and are committed to reaching Northeastern North Carolina with the good news of Jesus Christ. We are an independent, non-affiliated fellowship with a love of Jesus that connects us to a larger purpose in life.

Follow Jesus to know Jesus, for He is the Christ Who came to serve and ransom many.

Fire Forged Faith | Pastor Stephen Green by Riverside Church

In this week's Advent sermon, Pastor Stephen Mizell challenges us to rethink everything we thought we knew about love. As we light the fourth Advent candle, discover why love isn't just a warm feeling or sentimental decoration—it's a Person you meet and a divine action that changes everything. Drawing from 1 John 4:7-12, Pastor Stephen unpacks the profound truth that God doesn't just love—He IS love. This means love existed before creation, before redemption, and before the incarnation. We don't manufacture love; we can only reflect it. We don't generate it; we can only distribute it. IN THIS EPISODE: Why the Bible never treats love as a decoration The difference between sentimental love and sacrificial love How the manger and the cross are inseparably connected Why your theology is only as good as your relationships The challenge of being God's "full expression" of love to the world A special word for those finding this Christmas season difficult KEY QUOTE: "Christmas is not about God shouting from the mountaintops, 'I love you.' It's about Him whispering it from a manger." This sermon includes a salvation invitation and a tender moment addressing those experiencing a "Blue Christmas"—anyone grieving loss, waiting for answered prayer, or finding the season less joyful than expected. Pastor Stephen reminds us that the good news of Christmas isn't that God avoided darkness, but that He stepped into it. SCRIPTURE: 1 John 4:7-12, Romans 10:9 ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Pastor Stephen Mizell serves as the lead pastor of Open Door Church in Edenton, North Carolina. His teaching combines biblical depth with practical application, helping people encounter Jesus in real and transformative ways.

Joseph had his life planned, but it all came crashing down when he found out Mary was pregnant with a child not his. But God sent his angel to give him hope.  He pointed to the one who actually takes away guilt and gives real hope. Through Jesus, God brings forgiveness, peace, and a future we can trust. He doesn't let us navigate it alone, but Immanuel, God with us, goes too. This Christmas, our hearts are made ready when we turn to him and discover the hope he offersSupport the show

"Acts 15 & 16" Pastor Stephen McCoy 12.14.25

In this uplifting message from the third week of our Advent series, Pastor Stephen Han reflects on the theme of joy as Christmas draws near. He reminds us that Advent is a season of preparation—anchored in hope, peace, joy, and love—and explores how biblical joy is deeper than fleeting happiness, rooted instead in God's presence and promises.Through Scripture from Isaiah, Habakkuk, and the Christmas story, Pastor Stephen invites us to see joy as a deliberate choice and a lasting gladness that can be found even in small, unexpected moments. He concludes by pointing us toward worship, reminding us that true joy naturally flows into praise, even in the midst of life's challenges.
