Letters to the 7 Churches, Pt. 6 - Pastor Derek Dunn

October 08, 2020 05:30 - 676 Bytes

In this message we focused on the Church at Philadelphia - city of brotherly love. This church was faithful, small, of good reputation, and had great opportunity to minister! Like this church, Christ also gives us an opportunity to share our faith. In order for us to take advantage of the open door of ministry opportunities before us, we must operate in God’s strength, keep His word, and not deny His name. Church, let’s be faithful in introducing people to Jesus Christ!

Letters to the 7 Churches, Pt. 5 - Pastor Derek Dunn

September 30, 2020 22:29 - 684 Bytes

Church, God commands us to wake up! This week we focused on the Church at Sardis - the Dead Church! While this church had a reputation for being “alive”, they were in fact dead; they had no compassion, no warmth, no movement! Church, we must not allow our hearts to grow cold and our spirits to die down! We must be overcomers and continue fighting the good fight of faith!

Letters to the 7 Churches, Pt. 4 - Pastor Derek Dunn

September 24, 2020 22:13 - 54 minutes - 96 Bytes

Our series, Letters to the 7 Churches, just keeps getting better and better! This week we looked at the church in Thyatira - The Corrupted Church. They had become tolerant of sin and allowed mixture to come in! However, God also set apart a remnant; to them He promised that they would rule with Him! So let us be that remnant, holding on and remaining faithful!

Letters to the 7 Churches, Pt. 3 - Pastor Derek Dunn

September 17, 2020 02:45 - 44 minutes - 79 Bytes

Jesus offers us intimacy with Him! This week we continued with part 3 of our series by looking at The Church of Pergamos - The Compromising Church. As believers, we must not allow mixture to enter our churches! Jesus calls us to be set apart and repent if we’ve allowed ourselves to be compromised. In this manner, we’ll be able to reach a deeper level of intimacy, acceptance, and favor from Him!

September 09, 2020 17:30 - 46 minutes - 84 Bytes

Christianity is not for the faint hearted! As we continued with part 2 of our new series, we looked at the Church at Smyrna - The Persecuted Church.

Letters to the 7 Churches, Pt. 1 - Pastor Derek Dunn

September 02, 2020 17:30 - 45 minutes - 79 Bytes

God wants and desires to send real revival! This Sunday we started our new series and looked at the first of the 7 letters written to the churches in the book of Revelation. The first letter was written to the Church at Ephesus. While they had many strengths, they had one significant weakness - they had left their first love. They had drifted away and their love had grown cold. We must ask ourselves: “Has my love for God drifted?” “Has my level of passion dwindled?” If so, we must not be like...

The hope of the world is the church! In the times we are living in, revival will be the key to our survival!

We will have an insatiable hunger for the things of God, with our voices we will pray without ceasing, we will proclaim the name of Christ everywhere we go, we will live a life in freedom, and exude a joy that ca...

I Will Praise - Pastor Susan Dunn

August 19, 2020 17:30 - 52 minutes - 92 Bytes

We must learn the art of praise! Praising God requires that we use our voice to magnify God, to glorify God, and acknowledge His might! This allows us to grow our faith and understand that our faith is not in what we can believe for but rather in whom we can believe in! When we grow our faith, the size of our problem or situation becomes nothing compared to the size of our God! Praise is not only a way for us to grow our faith, it is also a spiritual weapon that prepares the way for God’s sup...

Faith that Overcomes - Pastor Derek Dunn

August 12, 2020 17:30 - 53 minutes - 101 Bytes

The Spirit of God is the Spirit of Faith! Throughout the Bible, when God wanted to change a city or a nation He would touch someone’s mouth! However, in this time and in this season the enemy is trying to wear down the church in order for us to lose our voice! If we lose our voice, lawlessness will abide and the church will be confined. Therefore, we must continue to use our voice! It is through our voice that we can overcome because our voice activates our faith and it is through faith that ...

Faithfulness that Overcomes - Pastor Derek Dunn

August 05, 2020 17:30 - 1 hour - 114 Bytes

Mature sons and daughters (the Huios) are the faithful ones - those who are led by the Spirit of God! Because they are led by the Spirit, they will not fall away or go back to what is familiar when their faithfulness is tested. Instead, they will be the established Remnant of God on Earth! In today’s day, we must choose to be the Remnant! Remnants are those who will stand and be faithful regardless of the adversity, the challenges, or the setbacks! A remnant understands that faithfulness is t...

5 Types of Sons - Pastor Troy Marshall

July 30, 2020 00:21 - 89 Bytes

Ps. Troy brought a word in season as he broke down the 5 kinds of sons we find in the Bible. Nepios sons are likened to infants, who find it difficult to resolve conflict and are easily provoked. Padion sons are further along in their walk but lack consistency. Teknon sons walk in spiritual authority but they lack empathy and operate in immature love. Neanisko sons are brave, sharp, and able to operate in their giftings but do not carry the Father’s Heart. Lastly, there is the Huios son - a m...

Spirit of Oneness - Pastor Annwen Marshall

July 21, 2020 17:30 - 46 minutes - 86 Bytes

God is restoring oneness in the body of Christ! Oneness comes through the Spirit of God and the realization of just how much He loves us. When we are one with God, we will also be able to love others. Through patience and kindness we will learn to see the purpose and destiny of those around us. We will not think of each other as one being better than the other but instead understand that the God that lives in us, lives in our brothers and sisters as well! We can set any differences aside and ...

Standing in the Gap, PT. 2 - Pastor Derek Dunn

July 15, 2020 17:30 - 1 hour - 109 Bytes

This weekend we concluded the second half of “Standing in the Gap!” As we’ve learned, there are three main breaches that have invaded the church: the breach of entitlement, the breach of crazy grace, and the breach of materialism. We as a church, cannot let these breaches operate amongst us! We must return to the Fear of God, for in this season, God is preparing a remnant! A remnant that will stand for His word, that will not be defiled, and will not be tied to the spirit of this world! Churc...

Standing in the Gap - Pastor Derek Dunn

July 08, 2020 17:30 - 54 minutes - 100 Bytes

Christianity is about following Christ and seeking after Him! God is looking for those who will seek after His heart and what He is desiring to do. Although, as Ps. Derek shared, there are breaches that have invaded the church that the devil has sent to cause us to be powerless. However, God is calling us to stand in the gap, to lay hold of the territory He has given us because He is restoring the church and preparing a remnant!

February 19, 2020 18:30 - 57 minutes - 98 Bytes

Imperatives for God’s Kingdom, Ps. Troy Marshall | Purpose guides your activity but imperatives guide your thinking. It can remove you from purpose. Each of us live our lives with a set of values or imperatives. You are either living in Genesis 1 (fruitful and walking in dominion) or Genesis 3 (toil and sorrow).

Waiting on God - Ap. Les Bowling

October 30, 2019 17:30 - 43 minutes - 59 Bytes

Waiting on God, Ap. Les Bowling | Apostle Les Bowling ministered on the subject of waiting! In the “microwave mindset” society that we live in it is easy to deviate and try to accomplish what God has promised us by using our own strength. However, there is purpose in our waiting season.

The Be-Attitudes, Part 2 | Pastor Derek shared a compelling message on the second Beatitude we looked at - “blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted”. While it is true that there are those who mourn over tragedies in the natural world, we as Christians also experience mourning over the death that is brought by sin!

The Be-Attitudes, PT. 1 | Pastor Derek began a new series on the Beatitudes! There were 8 Beatitudes given by Jesus to His followers. We looked at the first one - “Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven”. We are not called to be physically poor but rather to yearn for God and His presence consistently. When we are poor in spirit we are desperately seeking for God to continuously be our guide, yearning for more revelational knowledge, and for more communion with God!
