In Week 3 of our There Is More series, Pastor Kim unpacks The Pattern of Purpose and challenges the way we often think about calling, fulfillment, and success. Using Matthew 4:19 as the foundation, we see that Jesus doesn't begin with outcomes or explanations. He begins with an invitation: “Follow me.” From that invitation comes formation, and from formation comes fulfillment. God's pattern of purpose: Follow Formation Fulfillment Man's pattern often reverses this: Fulfillment Formation Follow This message explores what it truly means to follow Jesus before we see results, how obedience shapes who we are becoming, and why fulfillment is meant to overflow from a transformed life—not be chased as a destination. Key themes include: The call to follow before understanding How obedience forms character before assignment Why purpose is not something you find, but someone you become Living faithfully in the season you're in Letting who God is forming in you point others to Jesus Scriptures referenced include Matthew 4, Ephesians 4, Jeremiah 18, Matthew 28, Proverbs 20, and 1 Corinthians 10. This message is for anyone who feels stuck between waiting and doing, searching for purpose, or wrestling with the tension between calling and clarity. Prayer Declaration: God, today we choose to follow You. We quiet our need for answers and trust You with the next step. Shape our hearts, refine our character, and do the work in us that only You can do. Let what You are forming within us flow through our lives to point others to Jesus. Use us where we are, in the season we're in, with the lives You've entrusted to us. We give You our yes. Amen.
What if encountering God is not about trying harder, but becoming more aware? In Week 2 of our sermon series There Is More, Pastor Dustin teaches on The Four Postures of Encounter—a pathway that helps us move from distraction into real, life-changing intimacy with God. God is not distant. He is near. But many of us miss His presence because we are distracted, rushed, or carrying shame. This message walks us through four spiritual postures that position our hearts to experience God more deeply. 4 Postures of Encounter 1. Awareness – God is Near Encounter begins with awareness, not effort. Like Moses at the burning bush, God is already present. The invitation is to turn aside and notice Him. Isaiah 41:10 Exodus 3:1–5 2. Reverence – God is Holy When we see God rightly, we see ourselves honestly. Isaiah's encounter with God shows us that holiness leads to humility, repentance, and calling. Isaiah 6:1–8 3. Assurance – God is Love and Mercy Shame blocks encounter. Assurance opens it. God does not tolerate you. He delights in you. His mercy is not permission to stay the same; it is power to change. Psalm 103:8–13 Romans 5:8 4. Surrender – God is Powerful God fills surrendered vessels. When we fully yield to the Holy Spirit, the same power that raised Jesus begins to work in us. Romans 8:11 Acts 1:8 Prayer of Encounter God, You are here with us right now. We turn our attention to You and choose to be present with You. Holy God, search us and know us. Cleanse what is out of alignment and draw our hearts back to You. We choose humility and honesty before You. Father, we receive Your forgiveness and Your mercy. We release shame and rest in Your delight over us. Thank You that we are fully known and fully loved. Holy Spirit, we surrender our lives to You. Fill us, lead us, and use us for Your purposes. We trust Your power more than our own strength.
There has to be more than this! Have you ever had that quiet sense in your soul that life was meant to be more than routines, survival mode, and just getting through another year? In Week 1 of our new series, There Is More, Pastor Dustin teaches on the truth that God is not a God of barely enough, but a God of abundance, depth, and transformation. Through Scripture, testimony, and invitation, this message confronts the subtle ways we settle for less than what God desires to give and calls us back to holy hunger. Jesus said He came so that we would have life, and have it in abundance. Not shallow happiness. Not delayed fulfillment. But a full life shaped by God's power already at work within us. In this message, you'll discover: • Why God's heart has always been abundance, not scarcity • How settling for less happens quietly and gradually • Why spiritual dryness often comes from drawing from substitutes • What it means to experience “more” through God's power within us • Why hunger is the starting point for spiritual fullness • How prayer and fasting realign our hearts to receive what God is already offering You'll also hear a powerful testimony and be invited into 14 days of prayer and fasting as our church intentionally aligns our hearts at the beginning of this season. This message is for anyone who: • Feels spiritually dry or stuck • Has stopped expecting fullness from God • Believes there is more, but doesn't know how to access it • Is ready to begin the year aligned, hungry, and surrendered Declaration Prayer from this message: God, we believe there is more. More of Your presence. More of Your power. And more of Your purpose. Awaken our hunger again. Create space in our hearts. Quiet what competes for our attention. And lead us into the more You desire to give. We give this year to You. In Jesus' name, amen.
THERE IS MORE for you as you fight this fight of faith... a secret weapon that the enemy hates. Prayer. In this powerful, final installment, discover the more that is prayer and become someone who learns to wield the power of prayer.
We're in a fight... just not the fight most people are obsessed with. See, Paul, some 2,000 years ago, told us through a letter to a church in Ephesus that we are in a fight and it's not a physical fight, but it's a spiritual fight. There's something more going on and we gotta get our eye turned to the real enemy and our selves equipped to fight this fight because THERE IS MORE.
Everyone wants God to provide, but not everyone sees God as provider. Why? Well, there is more to this whole provision thing than you thought. Lean in. Listen close. Let the text teach. THERE IS MORE.

Pastor Wesley Nall shares his personal journey of spiritual hunger and awakening in a sermon titled “There Is More.” Using 2 Samuel 6 and the return of the Ark to Jerusalem, he draws a bold comparison between modern church culture and the danger of settling for salvation without pursuit. This sermon is a call to those who feel stuck, dry, or distant from God — a reminder that salvation was never the end, but the beginning. There is more to experience: more of God's Spirit, more of His presence, more power, more freedom, and more purpose. If you're ready to move beyond surface-level faith and into deeper waters, this message is for you.
In this episode of There Is More with David Walker, we're joined by Pastor and Army Chaplain Karl Albert Long. He shares a powerful personal journey—from growing up in a world where Black preachers were told not to seek formal education, to breaking generational mindsets, choosing growth, and learning to lead beyond the pulpit. Together, they explore the cost of breaking free from victim mentalities, the transformative unity found in military service, and what it means to show people "a better way" when culture and church traditions collide. At its core, this conversation is about the freedom found in Christ, the strength in diversity, and the mission that unites us all.We would love to connect you with our prayer team- email us with as much detail as you'd like to share and how we can pray, to pastorwalker@alamocity.org We are honored to pray with you and excited to see what God does!

What God-encounters have you had that shaped you? A profound answer to prayer. The sick healed. A word of knowledge that awakened someone in the reality of christ. Or, a deep encounter with Gods presence. All of these things we tend to hold onto. And yet there is more...God gave Ezekiel a vision that i believe is both true of the believer today, as is his established reign on earth in his second coming. You can find the full story in Ezekiel 47.
The old is gone, the new is here! What an amazing truth. That in Christ we are new creations. Fully reconciled to God. We are now holding nothing back from God and He holds nothing back from us.Join us as we listen to Jake Hartgers bring us todays message for the first in the Series There Is More.
"There Is More!" by Matt Miller. Armor Of God Series - Part 8. The message was preached on July 28, 2024. Ephesians 6:10-18
"THERE IS MORE!" Pastor Matt shares that there is an epidemic of the western church currently being revealed: immaturity, self-centeredness, and fragility. He challenges believers to establish roots through prayer, fasting, and digging into the word. "Being spirit-tolerant isn't the same as being spirit-filled! It's time to bring the power of the Holy Spirit front and foremost in our churches today! The Holy Spirit provides the power to endure difficulty and to say no to sin!"
This is the final message of our series, There Is More.
This is Week 4 of our series, There Is More.
This is week 2 of our series, There Is More.
This is the introduction to our new series, There Is More.
Many of us are cruising along in our walks with God and we don't realize THERE IS MORE! Sometimes we are too content. Sometimes we simply do not know. And sometimes we are afraid. No matter the reason, God has given us a mission to share Christ and we need MORE of the Holy Spirit so that we are operating in His power, not ours. Are we open? Are we trusting Jesus? Are we willing to wait? Are we willing to go?TALK ABOUT IT - Questions to GROW through with family, friends, & myself. 1. Do I believe God has more available to me? Like any relationship, what happens as we grow closer?2. What is the significance to stay in Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit is received? How does this apply to us today?3. What is the purpose of the “empowerment” of the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts? How does this apply to us today?4. Am I open? Am I trusting Jesus? Am I willing to wait? Am I willing to go? 5. PRAYER: “Jesus, we ask you to baptize us in the Holy Spirit and fill us again so we can boldly share Christ!”

Today I chatted with Rachel Faulkner-Brown of Be Still Ministries and co-host of the amazing There Is More podcast. We had so much fun talking before recording that our conversation continued on this podcast. We dive into a smorgasbord of thought that centers around catching a fresh vision for our lives. You can find her here https://www.bestillministries.net/ And don't forget to listen to the podcast here https://www.bestillministries.net/podcast For their 8-part video-based study designed to position you for an intimate encounter with the Father's love, go here https://fathershousestudy.com/ Here is a bit about Rachel: Rachel Faulkner Brown is a girl with a past like your worst nightmare and a present that is pretty darn fun. After marrying Rod in 2013, Rachel began Be Still Ministries in Atlanta, Ga. Never Alone Widows is the outreach ministry of Be Still Ministries. Rachel and her ministry partner, Karen McAdams, published their first Bible study in January 2021 called Father's House and the Never Alone team created a devotional for widows called 'His Name-Our Hope in Grief.' Father's House and How to Widow Well, a 20 video curriculum for widows, is now available on digital platforms reaching 4 million women and in 20,000 churches. Be Still Ministries has hosted over 1200 widows for their curated retreats over the last three years and received a grant from the Gary Sinise Foundation in 2020 to expand the outreach ministry for military and first responder widows. Although Rachel stays busy telling the story of Be Still Ministries and Never Alone Widows, she still would say her greatest role is that of wife and mother.

THERE IS MORE spiritual warfare in the psalms than we realize! This week, we study three of David's psalms that have more going on under the hood than is obvious at first read. Psalm 24 praises God for founding the earth “upon the seas and… the rivers.” In Canaanite religion, Baal became king of the gods after a battle with Yam (“Sea”), the embodiment of chaos (i.e., Leviathan), who is often called “Prince Yam [Sea] and Judge Nahar [River]” in Canaanite religious texts. So, David's psalm is more than poetic language; it's a rebuke of the pagan belief that Baal was the one who subdued primordial chaos. Psalm 47 is a song of triumph, encouraging all people to rejoice that God is King of all the earth, but Psalm 68 is, in our view, a prophecy of a future battle between God and the forces of darkness at a place known in the ancient world as the entrance to the netherworld, Bashan. It begins with the declaration that “God shall arise, His enemies shall be scattered; and all those who hate him shall flee before Him!” Verses 4 through 10 use storm-god language to praise God, again rebuking the pagans around ancient Israel for ascribing to Baal the characteristics of Yahweh. And then we get to Psalm 68:15–23, a prophecy of a future conflict at the “mountain of Bashan,” Mount Hermon. The text of Ps. 68:15 is translated, “O mountain of God,” but the Hebrew, har elohim, can also mean “mountain of the gods.” That's the better translation in this context. Why? Because the mountain of God is Zion—the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Verse 16 makes clear that Mount Hermon, the “many-peaked mountain” of Bashan, looks “with hatred” at “the mount that God desired for His abode” (Zion). Verse 18, which Paul quotes in Ephesians 4:8, describes a military assault by God on Mount Hermon, after which He “ascended on high, leading a host of captives in your train”. David praises God for delivering His followers from death. The Hebrew word maveth is a cognate for the name of the Canaanite death-god, Mot, who is the equivalent of the Greek deity Thanatos—the rider on the pale horse in Revelation 6. Finally, verse 22 describes God's victory over chaos: The Lord said,“I will bring them back from Bashan,I will bring them back from the depths of the sea…”However, scholar Nicolas Wyatt argues that this difficult passage is better translated: From Bashan I shall bring back,I shall bring back, from the depths, Sea [i.e., Yam, the Canaanite equivalent of Leviathan, or Chaos]In other words, David prophesied God's final assault on Mount Hermon and the land of Bashan, which in his day was believed to be the literal entrance to the netherworld (Sheol/Hades), where the Lord will finally destroy Death and Chaos. In so doing, David presents a prophecy similar to the one recorded a thousand years later by John in Revelation 20:13–14 and 21:1: And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire… Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and he first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
