Through the story of the rich young ruler, Nick examines how someone can possess wealth, status, power, and respect, yet still feel completely empty on the inside. Jesus met this young man with genuine love, directly confronting the one thing holding him back from full surrender: his possessions possessed him.

This message serves as a compassionate, self-reflective reminder that heavy pockets cannot heal a heavy heart, and that Jesus is not asking for your money, He is asking for your heart.

In this sermon, guest speaker Dema Blagoev, delivers a challenging call to move beyond personal comfort and invest in an eternal legacy.

Looking at the life of King Hezekiah in 2 Kings 20, Dema highlights the danger of spiritual shortsightedness. Although Hezekiah experienced miraculous healing and saw the shadow of the sun move backward, he made a tragic mistake: he settled for peace and security during his own lifetime while ignoring what would happen to his children and future generations.

Through Psalm 1, Proverbs 11:30, and Jesus' parable of the mustard seed, Dema demonstrates how God designs every believer to be a tree of life. Rather than throwing away the seeds inside our lives, we are called to plant ourselves into discipleship, pour into the next generation, and bear fruit that lasts for decades to come.

About Dema Blagoev: Dema serves as a pastoral leader overseeing a network of over 70 churches across Russia. Discipled by American missionaries who planted seeds in Moscow during the early 1990s, Dema now equips leaders and encourages congregations globally toward generational discipleship.

Our lives are not defined by a single spiritual event, but by the daily, practical choices we make in our personal valleys of decision. Pastor Anthony challenges us to examine our hearts and ask whether we are fully surrendered to God or holding onto a "Plan B". Through a deep dive into Scripture, this sermon explores how key biblical figures faced their own defining moments:

* Judas and Peter: The contrasting choices of Judas' betrayal and Peter's denial under pressure.

* Daniel and the Three Hebrew Youth: The bold, unwavering faith of Daniel in the lions' den and the three Hebrew young men in the fiery furnace.

* The Apostle Paul: The radical transformation of Paul on the road to Damascus.

* Jesus Christ: The ultimate example of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross, praying, "nevertheless, not my will but yours be done".

Pastor Anthony also shares his raw and deeply personal testimony, from surviving a near-fatal drug overdose at age 24 during a failing marriage, to witnessing God's miraculous healing of his daughter from both epileptic seizures and a brain tumor.

Are you "almost persuaded" like King Agrippa, or are you ready to be fully persuaded, choosing Christ above all else? Tune in to this transformative message and discover the true freedom of aligning your free will with the heart of the Father?

Pastor Lee walks us through a simple yet profound two-part spiritual rhythm:

• Breathing Him In: Cultivating a personal connection with Christ by receiving His salvation and the empowering baptism of the Holy Spirit.

• Breathing Him Out: Stepping out in obedience as a sent one, acting as a conduit of God's love, forgiveness, and healing to help others find freedom.

Through the stories of ordinary, imperfect disciples like Peter, James, John, and the Apostle Paul, we are reminded that God uses regular people to do extraordinary things.

Discover how you can position yourself to be filled and spilled, carrying hope into your family, your workplace, and your community.

In this message, we explore what it truly means when God restores our lives. God does not just patch up our broken, lost, or stolen pieces; He brings them back to life and makes them completely new. Drawing from the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15, Sis. Rechelle Lyons outlines three vital signs of divine restoration:

•Repentance: Coming to our senses in the broken places, letting go of pride, and aligning our hearts back with God.

•Forgiveness: Experiencing the overwhelming, compassionate embrace of a Father who meets us with love before we even speak, and extending that same forgiveness to others.

•Identity: Reclaiming our true standing as children of God, beautifully symbolized by the robe of honor, the ring of authority, and the sandals of sonship.

Whether you are facing struggles in your relationships, finances, or personal walk, this message is a reminder that you are never too far gone for the Father's heart to restore you to wholeness. Tune in to discover how to walk in the fullness of your new identity today.

Drawing from the story of the man in Mark 5, Pastor Lee explains that Jesus has the authority to step into our darkest moments and bring light. He also shares a personal testimony of how God delivered him from a heavy smoking addiction through one simple step of obedience.

Discover how to partner with God through faith and stewardship to protect the freedom He has given you. It is time to stop living in oppression and start walking in the abundant life you were created for.

Pastor Lee focuses on salvation as the greatest miracle of all, describing it as the moment someone passes from spiritual darkness into a brand new life with God. This message dives into the significance of baptism as a public demonstration of internal change, the importance of turning away from sin, and the call for every believer to bring that same life to others in their community. It is a powerful reminder that God's hand is not shortened and that we should expect to see his miraculous power at work in our lives.

Pastor Lee identifies three common traps that lead to self-sabotage: bad choices, bad company, and a bad connection with God. Using a deeply personal story about his own past legal troubles and the mercy he found after Hurricane Katrina, he illustrates how God’s grace is always available to wash away years of mistakes. Whether you feel like you are running in the opposite direction from your calling or just feel disconnected from God's presence, this message offers hope. Discover how one small step of obedience can begin to undo the damage of self-sabotage and reconnect you to the life-giving power of God's grace.
