In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to step into a new season of faith where we can do things we have never been able to do before by daring to say things we have never said before. He highlights how combining our faith-filled words with God's unlimited anointing activates breakthroughs in our health, families, and businesses. To fully receive these accelerated blessings, Pastor Jack warns us to lay aside the hidden weights and sins we often justify, such as a lack of prayer or unforgiveness, which only hinder our spiritual progress. He shifts our understanding of prayer from merely asking to actively receiving with thanksgiving, reminding us that God hears us and has already granted our petitions. Ultimately, Pastor Jack challenges us to cast off any feelings of inadequacy and confidently declare God's promises over our lives, trusting that His power will drive out our limitations and yield a hundredfold return.

In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to keep lack out of our lives by ensuring we put the kingdom of God and His word first, rather than focusing on our worries and fears. He teaches us that our words have power, warning that speaking of our anxieties can open doors to lack and limit our faith, while speaking in alignment with God's word unlocks automatic blessings and causes them to chase us down. Pastor Jack emphasizes that we must not give up on ourselves or be overly hard on ourselves, because God deeply values us and works alongside us as our partner and co-worker. To truly overcome our struggles and insecurities, we need to guard our hearts and allow the word of God to cleanse and purify our natural desires. Ultimately, as we celebrate and encourage one another within the church, we cultivate the confidence, honor, and security needed to break through barriers, defeat the devil's oppression, and experience the full abundance of God's blessings.

In today's message, Pastor Jack reminds us that we are too close to our breakthrough to quit standing in faith, reassuring us that the days of our lack are over and that God wants us to finish what we started. He warns us against the temptation of thinking too small, encouraging us to look at God's massive power to bring revival and restore our marriages, careers, and children. We are urged to stay passionate and keep our spiritual energy high so that we do not give up on ourselves right before our blessings arrive. Pastor Jack explains that while naysayers and persecution will pressure us, we must allow that pressure to bring out the best in us and push us closer to our destiny. By keeping our "want" for a miracle larger than our needs and constantly feeding on God's benefits, we can treat our faith like a servant that isn't allowed to take a break until it finishes what was declared. Ultimately, Pastor Jack challenges us to treat our commitment to Jesus not as a seasonal event, but as a permanent, life-changing moment where we continually work out the dreams and faith God has placed in our hearts.

In today's message, Pastor Jack shares that our faith operates through the "rhema" word, which is the spoken and personally revealed word of God that brings light into our situations and equips us to move mountains, heal the sick, and break through life's barriers. He emphasizes that we must actively use and feed on our faith throughout our lives, holding fast to our confessions, because if our faith stops working, we risk backsliding or even falling into apostasy. Looking at biblical figures like Esther, Joseph, Cain, Balaam, and Corein, Pastor Jack warns us of the severe spiritual consequences of ignoring God's revelations or practicing lawlessness, explaining that an outward appearance of churchgoing cannot replace an intimate, obedient relationship with God. Ultimately, he highlights that the gifts and callings God places on our lives are irrevocable, and by continually placing our faith in Him to supernaturally guide our careers, marriages, and families, we will remain secure, produce fruit, and never draw back from following Christ.

This is message 49 in Gospel Record of John John 15:18-25 Following Christ will always bring conflict with a world that rejects God, because a transformed life exposes the darkness of sin and the emptiness of false religion. The closer believers walk with Christ, the more clearly they reflect His character, and the same hatred directed toward Him will often be directed toward them. Yet the rejection of Christ is not merely opposition to a teacher or a message, but rebellion against God Himself, whose truth continues to uncover every excuse and call men to repentance.

God made a promise to King David that his bloodline would sit on the throne of Israel forever. That promise was called the Davidic Covenant — and for 325 years, it was tested by 20 kings, hostile nations, and one wicked queen who came within one baby of ending it entirely. In this message, Pastor Kevin Weatherby walks through all 20 kings of the southern kingdom of Judah — their strengths, their failures, how they lived, and how they died. Some were great. Most were not. And one evil woman named Athaliah — the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel — seized the throne and tried to kill every royal heir in the house of David. She thought she had extinguished the line. She was wrong. One infant was hidden by his aunt in the storerooms of the temple, and the promise of God survived. Key Scriptures: 2 Samuel 7:16 | 1 Kings 12:11 | 1 Kings 15:11 | 2 Chronicles 16:12 | 2 Chronicles 20:12 | 2 Chronicles 21:14-15 | 2 Chronicles 22:3 The Story of God is a 10-week series tracing the full arc of Scripture — from the garden where God walked with man, to the city where He will live with man again.

This is message 48 in Gospel Record of John John 15:1-17 True spiritual life and lasting fruitfulness are only possible through a continual, dependent relationship with Christ, who alone is the source of strength, growth, and life. God lovingly shapes and prunes His people through His Word so that they might bear fruit that brings glory to Him and impacts others for eternity. Joy, answered prayer, obedience, and effective service all flow from abiding closely with Him, because apart from Christ, no lasting spiritual work can be accomplished.

This is message 47 in Gospel Record of John John 14:16-31 Believers are never left alone, because God Himself comes to dwell within them through the Holy Spirit, bringing continual fellowship, guidance, strength, and peace. The presence of the Spirit becomes most evident in a life that loves Christ enough to obey His Word, as obedience deepens awareness of His nearness and truth. While the world searches for peace through outward means, true peace comes from trusting the finished work of Christ, resting in His promises, and living with confidence that He remains present and will one day return for His own.

In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to break through the spiritual, relational, and career ceilings that limit our growth, reminding us that Christianity involves continually overcoming these lids to truly thrive. Drawing from prophetic verses in Zechariah, he emphasizes that God wants us to personally experience true expansion and prosperity in every area of our lives, from our marriages to our finances. Pastor Jack challenges us to break free from the "chains" of past pain, disappointment, and conditioning—likening our limitations to a trained elephant bound by a small stake—and to step into our calling as champions born to win. To shatter these barriers, we must stand in faith, be led by the Holy Spirit, and actively overcome the four negative horns or spirits: lack, limitation, fear, and negativity. Ultimately, he urges us to renew our minds, align our spoken words, and change how we view ourselves so that God can shatter our glass ceilings and pour out a double blessing.

In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to recognize that we can be the ones who break through spiritual barriers, experience miraculous healings, and walk in overflow prosperity if we activate the "God kind of faith" within us. He reminds us that we are all "whosoevers" and that we cannot build our lives or grow by the flesh alone; we desperately need to hunger for God and be baptized in the power of the Holy Ghost. To release this divine power, Pastor Jack emphasizes that we must cultivate an effective and unyielding prayer life through intercession, petitions, and dedication—holding onto our deep desires like a bulldog without putting a human time limit on God. Ultimately, we are challenged to quit looking to others for help, believe in ourselves as creations made in God's image, and dare to speak to the mountains in our lives so that we can witness His supernatural blessings unfold.

This is message 46 in Gospel Record of John John 14:7-15 God has fully revealed Himself through Jesus Christ, making the invisible Father known through the life, words, and works of the Son. To know Christ is to know God personally, because everything about His character displays the heart of the Father. This relationship transforms every part of life, producing confidence in prayer, power for service, and a desire to obey. Genuine love for Him is not merely spoken but demonstrated through a life that trusts His Word and follows His commands.

This is message 06 in Understanding the Love of God Ephesians 5:21-33 Marriage was designed by God to be a living picture of the relationship between Christ and His church, displaying love, humility, sacrifice, faithfulness, and unity through everyday life. A home centered on the Lord reflects His character through husbands who lovingly lead and wives who trust God's design, creating a testimony that grows stronger through every season. True joy and lasting closeness are found when both lives are surrendered to Christ, allowing His love to shape their communion, commitment, and care for one another.

In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to plant God's word deep within our hearts until we become pregnant with His promises, much like Sarah, who conceived in her old age by faith. He explains that when we get intimate with God's word, it changes our spiritual appetite and empowers us to overcome life's struggles through the anointing of Christ. Pastor Jack teaches us that we are partners with God and must use the law of faith to call those things that are not as though they were, releasing manifestations of blessings that can even become generational. We are urged to stop speaking about our weaknesses and instead water the seeds of the word through constant confession and meditation, trusting that God will provide the increase regardless of our circumstances or the surrounding culture. By connecting to God's power and reclaiming "extinct" blessings, we can experience a breakthrough that restores what was lost and allows us to possess new victories as a "Joshua generation".

In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to adopt "game-changing beliefs" by recognizing that our thinking directly shapes our reality. He teaches us that we are not merely "remodeled" versions of our old selves, but entirely new creations in Christ—a new species that operates by faith rather than physical sight. We are urged to move beyond "carnal" living, where we react based on our senses, and instead embrace our inherent worthiness in Jesus, regardless of our past failures. Pastor Jack highlights the importance of "saving" our soul—purifying our natural desires and ambitions through obedience to God's word rather than simply trying to suppress them. Finally, we are challenged to become "seed-sowing fanatics," speaking consistent faith over our families and nation to unlock the warehouse of blessings and the inheritance already provided for us in heaven.

This is message 44 in Gospel Record of John John 13:31-35 The cross was not a moment of defeat but the greatest display of the glory of God, revealing His power, justice, holiness, faithfulness, and love through the willing obedience of Christ. What appeared to the world as suffering and shame became the means of redemption and victory, as the Son fulfilled the Father's plan perfectly. Those who follow Him are then called to reflect that same sacrificial love toward one another, showing the world the realty of Christ through lives marked by humility, unity, and genuine care for His people.

The Lord, though possessing all authority, chose the lowest place to teach that real greatness is found in serving, not being served, and that obedience to His truth must move beyond knowledge into action. Even in the face of betrayal and unfolding events, He reveals that everything is under divine control, calling His followers to trust His Word, walk in purity, and live out a life that reflects His character.

This is message 43 in Gospel Record of John John 13:21-30 It is possible to be close to truth, involved in spiritual things, and still remain unchanged at heart, and that is the danger this message exposes. Outward appearance, service, and knowledge mean nothing without genuine faith in Christ, for a heart that resists Him will grow harder over time, Grace may be offered again and again, but if it is continually rejected, sin will take hold and lead to destruction. The call is clear to move beyond association and truly trust the Savior, because only a surrendered heart can receive the forgiveness and life that He freely gives.

In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to take back the losses in our lives by understanding that God is capable of restoring both material possessions and the very time we have lost to depression or setbacks. He teaches us that we must reinvent ourselves by seeing ourselves the way God does—as "mighty men of valor" and as "kings and priests"—rather than through the lens of our past failures or worldly labels. Pastor Jack explains that while our eternal salvation is secured through faith in Jesus and not by our performance, our earthly breakthroughs require a response that is equal to the level of our requests. By following the biblical pattern of responding to God's grace with bold, proactive faith—just as the woman who gathered many vessels or the men who tore through a roof to reach Jesus—we can unlock the "double honor" and restoration God has already initiated for our families, health, and finances.

This is message 41 in Gospel Record of John John 13:1-3 Even in the shadow of betrayal and the cross, Christ's love remains steady, personal, and purposeful, as He prepares His own to walk forward in faith, service, and obedience.

In today's message, Pastor Jack reminds us that we all face "dead spots"—areas where we struggle to be fruitful, even if we are doing well in other parts of our lives. To overcome these, we must be "all in," loving God with our whole heart, soul, strength, and mind, rather than just obeying Him outwardly. While we often think of salvation as effortless, Pastor Jack emphasizes that being a Christian requires discipline and effort; however, when our own strength runs out, the power of God is there to provide the breakthrough. We are called to "turn on the switch" of faith, acknowledging that God is no respecter of persons and will provide for us just as He did for the heroes of the Bible if we align our perception of Him with His Word. True success comes from practicing our faith from the inside out—guarding our thoughts and speech—and enduring even when the "fog" of life makes it hard to see the shore. By denying our flesh and abiding in Him, our desires are purified, and we can move from empty confession to a life where God's power transforms our dead spots into flourishing areas of blessing.

This is message 40 in Gospel Record of John John 12:37-50 Clear truth does not guarantee belief, because the greatest barrier is not a lack of evidence but a hardened heart that refuses to respond. When light is continually rejected, it leads to deeper blindness, while genuine faith must move beyond private agreement to open confession. The call of grace remains urgent, offering life and light to all who will receive it, yet warning that the same truth that saves today will one day stand as the standard of judgment for those who turn away.

In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to prepare for the miraculous by cultivating spiritual readiness and a tenacity like Caleb to possess our inheritance. He emphasizes that true fulfillment comes not through solitary achievement, but by sensing God's pleasure when we operate in faith across every area of our lives, from our marriages to our finances. We are reminded that there is a divine order to receiving God's best: we must be trained to reign and, most importantly, align our everyday speech with our prayers. Pastor Jack warns that we can inadvertently disqualify ourselves from blessings by speaking doubt outside of church; therefore, we must stop declaring what we cannot do and instead start confessing that we can do all things through Christ. By choosing to believe in what we say and maintaining a heart of praise, we invite the anointing of God to manifest and prepare us to receive the abundant more He has in store for us.Tune in now!

In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to overcome the "lack attacks" that Satan uses to steal our joy, peace, and finances by recognizing that God's blessing is not tied to our physical location or limited circumstances. We are reminded that as children of God, we have an immediate right to an extravagant inheritance, yet we often limit ourselves based on past failures—much like a trained elephant held back by a small stake. To break these cycles, we must replace "poverty talk" with declarations of abundance, keep our faith in motion rather than becoming spiritually lukewarm, and directly confront the spirits of lack or defeat with our authority in Christ. Ultimately, Pastor Jack challenges us to believe that the "best wine" and God's greatest provisions are available to us right now if we dare to speak faith and refuse to tolerate the limitations of the enemy.Tune in now!

Holding on to personal will and comfort leads to barrenness, but dying to self allows the life of Christ to be revealed and extended to others. What seems like loss becomes the very means by which God brings lasting life, showing that His greatest work is accomplished not through self-preservation, but through obedience and sacrifice that brings glory to Him.

This is message 36 in Gospel Record of John John 12:12-19 Jesus is the true King, but He does not come to fulfill human expectations or earthly ambitions. He comes in humility to bring peace with God, and every person must decide whether to receive Him for who He is or reject Him because He does not fit their desires. Enthusiasm and outward praise are not enough, because a heart that seeks Him only for personal gain will turn away when His purpose leads through sacrifice, while genuine faith recognizes His authority and submits to Him as Lord.

This is message 37 in Gospel Record of John John 12:20-22 A sincere desire to know Christ must be met with a willing response from those who already know Him, because people are searching for more than religion, they are seeking a real encounter with the Saviour. Fear, uncertainty, and overthinking can cause missed opportunities, but simple obedience opens the door for others to come to Him. God uses those who are ready to act in faith, bringing others to Christ without hesitation, showing that the responsibility of every believer is to point seeking hearts directly to Him.

In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to get the fight back in our faith, reminding us that while life may knock us down, we cannot afford to stay down or we will miss the blessings God has prepared for us. By looking at the lives of Jacob, Moses, Joshua, and the three Hebrew men, we see that determination and courageous faith allow us to prevail over trials like fire and deep waters. Pastor Jack challenges us to stop rehearsing our hurts and instead follow the example of David by speaking faith over ourselves and encouraging ourselves in the Lord. We are reminded that God is not the source of our suffering, but rather the one who provides the anointing to destroy every yoke of bondage in our families, finances, and health. Through humility and outspoken faith, we can speak to our mountains and believe for miracles, knowing that God often turns up His power the most when we are at our lowest points. Therefore, we must refuse to live in condemnation or grief, choosing instead to arise with a shout of praise and fight for the future God has promised us.Tune in now!

In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to break the limits of our receiving by harnessing the power of our imagination to align with God's promises. We learn that the Holy Spirit often communicates through pictures, dreams, and visions to provide us with divine instruction and revelation. By visualizing ourselves possessing what God has promised—seeing ourselves as winners and overcomers rather than focusing on our current predicaments—we can overcome doubt and move mountains in our lives. Pastor Jack teaches us to discern the origin of our dreams, noting that those from God are typically repeated and consistent with Scripture, whereas demonic dreams lead to perversion or deviation from the Word. Ultimately, we are called to "taste and see" the goodness of the Lord by fully immersing our emotions and senses in the reality of our answered prayers, holding fast to that vision until it manifests in our physical reality.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!

This is message 35 in Gospel Record of John John 12:1-11 True devotion to Christ is marked by a love that gives freely, sacrificially, and without concern for the opinions of others. While some measure worth by what can be gained or kept, genuine worship pours out what is most valuable because it recognizes who He is. Such love will often be misunderstood or criticized, yet it is always precious in His sight and leaves a lasting testimony that points others to Him, even in the face of opposition.

This is message 34 in Gospel Record of John John 11:44-57 When the truth is clearly revealed, it demands a response, and the same evidence that leads some to believe will harden others who refuse to surrender. Unbelief is not a lack of proof but a resistance of that heart, often driven by pride, fear, or the desire to maintain control. Even as opposition rises and evil intentions take shape, God's purpose is never threatened, because He works through and above human actions to accomplish redemption, proving that no plan of man can overturn the will of God.

This is message 33 in Gospel Record of John John 11:1-44 Jesus reveals that He alone has power over death, not only to promise life but to give it, calling people out of hopelessness into living reality. What appears final to human eyes is not beyond His authority, and even in seasons of delay, sorrow, and confusion, His purpose is unfolding for the glory of God and the strengthening of faith. He enters into human grief with compassion, yet stands above it with divine power, proving that life is found in Him and that those who trust Him will not remain in death but will be brought into lasting life.

In today's message, Pastor Jack explains that once we come to Christ, the barriers and limitations that previously held us in bondage are broken, allowing us to follow God's plan and take off the limits on what He can do in our lives. He teaches us that it is sinful to limit God's power and emphasizes that we have a responsibility to use our faith and authority to "bind and loose" on earth, as God has already provided everything we need in heaven. Pastor Jack reminds us that we possess delegated authority in the name of Jesus to overcome obstacles—much like David defeated Goliath—and that we must pray in faith, believing we have received, to see God's manifestations in our families, finances, and health. By recognizing the "seeds of greatness" within us and refusing to listen to the limitations imposed by others, we can step out of invisible barriers and reach for a high, big vision for our lives.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!

In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to live a life without limits by removing the mental barriers that keep our faith from reaching the levels of blessing God has intended for us. He teaches us that while our salvation is extraordinary, we often limit what the Holy One of Israel can do in our lives because we fail to renew our minds or remember His power. Our faith only grows to the size of our "thinking tank," so Pastor Jack urges us to move beyond a "survival mentality" and into an "abundance mindset" where we are blessed enough to be a blessing to others. We must enter into God's "rest"—which is the actual manifestation of His promises in areas like health, career, and finances—by mixing the Word with faith and watering it through our speech. Crucially, Pastor Jack warns us that we cannot grow spiritually if we do not bridle our tongues, as negative words and worldly worries can choke the seed of the Word and shipwreck our faith. By guarding our mouths and recycling the Word of God through constant praise and confession, we allow an overflow of life and blessing to thrive within us.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!

This is message 6 in Understanding the Love of God Psalm 22 The cross reveals the full weight of sin and the depth of Christ's sacrifice, showing that redemption was not a light or symbolic act but the real outpouring of God's judgment upon the sinless Son. He endured abandonment, rejection, and intense suffering in both body and soul so that sinners could be brought near and made righteous. What appeared to be defeat was in truth the pathway to victory, as His suffering gave way to triumph, securing salvation and establishing Him as the risen King who is worthy of worship, obedience, and proclamation to every generation.

What may appear to be defeat is often the path to victory in God's plan, and those who walk with Him can rejoice with assurance, knowing that He brings triumph out of trial and is always worthy of praise.

In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to harness the same resurrection power that raised Christ from the dead to revive areas of our lives that may feel dying or stagnant, such as our marriages, finances, and health. He reminds us that while we are spiritually positioned in heavenly places of dominion through Christ, we must move beyond the "graveyards" of negative thinking by actively speaking and decreeing life over our situations. Pastor Jack explains that salvation and breakthrough come not just through silent belief, but through the process of watering the seeds of our faith with outward confession and declaration. We are urged to accept Jesus today to be free from the fear of the "second death" and to step into our calling as new creations, trusting that God will never leave us behind and is ready to restore us to a place of victory and blessing.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!

This is message 32 in Gospel Record of John John 10:31-42 Everything rests on recognizing who Jesus truly is, because if He is not God, He cannot save. His words, His works, and the testimony surrounding Him all point to one clear truth that demands a response. Some reject Him despite overwhelming evidence, while others believe and find life. The difference is not in the proof given but in the heart that receives it, because eternal hope is found only in acknowledging Him for who He is and trusting Him fully.

This is message 30 in Gospel Record of John John 10:1-21 True security and abundant life are found only in the One who knows His people personally, leads them faithfully, and gives Himself for their sake. Unlike false voices that seek to use and destroy, He calls, guides, and protects with perfect care and love. His authority is not forced but recognized by those who hear and trust His voice. The greatest proof of His goodness is that He willingly laid down His life so that others might live, offering both safety and a lasting relationship to all who follow Him.

This is message 31 in Gospel Record of John John 10:19-30 Amid countless voices that compete for attention, true life and security are found in recognizing and following the voice of Christ. Those who belong to Him respond because they know Him, not merely with outward agreement but with a living connection that cannot be mistaken. Unbelief persists not because truth is hidden but because the heart refuses it, while those who receive His voice are given lasting life and are held securely by His power.

This is message 29 in Gospel Record of John John 9:8-41 A life genuinely touched by Christ cannot remain hidden, because real transformation becomes a powerful and undeniable witness. While simple faith may begin with limited understanding, it grows stronger through testing, opposition, and personal conviction. Those who reject truth often do so out of pride and resistance, even when the evidence is clear, but those who respond in humility move from uncertainty to bold, confident belief. In the end, the difference is not in what is seen but in how the heart responds, because Christ reveals Himself to those who are willing to believe and receive Him.

This is message 4 in Understanding the Love of God Lamentations 3:22-36 Even in the darkest seasons of loss, suffering, and disappointment, hope is not found in circumstances but in the unchanging character of God. His mercy holds back the judgment we deserve, His compassion never fails, and His faithfulness never wavers. When everything else seems stripped away, the Lord Himself remains enough. Those who remember who God is, wait on Him, and trust His purpose discover that He has not abandoned them. His work is still unfolding, and even in affliction He is shaping His people for His glory and their good.

This is message 28 in Gospel Record of John John 9:1-7 Human suffering is often misunderstood as something to explain or assign blame, but in God's hands it becomes a setting for His power and purpose to be revealed. What appears to be a lifelong limitation can be part of a greater design where Christ makes Himself known. He alone brings true light, opening not only physical eyes but spiritual understanding, and calls for a response of faith and obedience. In every hardship, the greater question is not why it happened, but how God will use it to reveal His glory and draw hearts to Himself.

This is message 27 in Gospel Record of John John 8:48-59 When truth confronts a hardened heart, it often produces rejection instead of repentance. Face with clear evidence and unmistakable claims, these leaders chose to insult and deny rather than believe. Yet Christ did not soften His words. He revealed that eternal life is found in receiving Him and that He is not merely a teacher but the eternal God Himself. The issue was never lack of proof but unwillingness to accept who He is. Every person must face that same reality, because recognizing Him rightly is the difference between remaining in unbelief and receiving everlasting life.
