• Holy Spirit - Part 10 by Pastor Mike Jenkins
    2025/10/05
    In part 10 of his series, Pastor Mike Jenkins dives deep into the core message of salvation, reminding us that the work of the Holy Spirit is God's effort to restore us to fellowship with Him. He breaks down "five-dollar church words" like justification (just as if I'd never sinned) and challenges listeners to move past the superficial to embrace the profound, life-changing truth of the gospel. The message is framed around these main points: -- The Holy Spirit is God, not an "it." He is the power behind the gospel, working to redeem and restore us. -- Your testimony is critically important. The real story of salvation starts with what happened to you, and sharing it is essential for touching others. -- The full gospel includes the "hard truth." We must present both the hope of Heaven and the reality of Hell so people know their need for a Savior. -- The gospel is defined by the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is the message that has the power to change us. -- Every believer is called to be a witness. We are all commissioned to go, make disciples, and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.

  • Holy Spirit - Part 11 by Pastor Mike Jenkins
    2025/10/12
    The Power of the Great Commission: Go and Make Disciples In this installment of the "Holy Spirit" series, Pastor Mike Jenkins examines the foundational work of the Spirit as chronicled in the Book of Acts. Written by the physician Luke, Acts serves as the history of the early church and a roadmap for today's believers. Pastor Mike addresses core theological questions and practical applications for our modern walk: -- The Holy Spirit is God, equally so with the Father and the Son, and is not a feeling, a wisp of smoke, or an impersonal "it." -- The purpose of the Book of Acts was to document the growth of the New Testament Church following Jesus’ ascension, demonstrating the successful implementation of His teachings. -- The Great Commission is the unstoppable, biblical command given by Jesus to His followers, backed by all authority in heaven and on earth. -- The central task is to make disciples, not just to evangelize, as discipleship ensures new believers know what they believe, why they believe it, and how to defend their faith. -- The realization that the Holy Spirit is resident in you should profoundly change the way you live, act, and view your life. -- Fellowship is vital; the physical presence, handshake, and godly hug among believers provides necessary edification, strength, and love that technology cannot replicate. Scriptures for Further Study -- Matthew 28:18-20

  • Holy Spirit (Communion) by Pastor Mike Jenkins
    2025/10/19
    The Covenant in His Blood: A Study on Communion and Justification Join Pastor Mike Jenkins as he unpacks the deep, non-frivolous meaning behind Holy Communion, drawing from both modern and traditional worship to connect us with the intimacy of the Last Supper. This teaching underscores that Communion is a command from the Lord—a proclamation of His death until He returns—and a celebration of the power of His blood that cleanses us from all sin. Discover why the act of remembering is tied to the eternal redemption secured by Christ. Key Themes and Main Points: -- Communion is a Precious Remembrance: The act is special and not light, recalling the intimate time Jesus shared it with His disciples. -- The Power is in the Blood: The shed blood of Jesus is the single source of pardon, cleansing, hope, peace, and righteousness, as proclaimed in the hymn "There is Power in the Blood." -- A Once-for-All Sacrifice: Christ is the Passover Lamb who permanently takes away the sin of the world, replacing the annual covering of sins under the Mosaic Law. -- Justification by Blood: To be "justified" means God looks at a believer "just as if I never sin," a gift received not by works, but by grace through faith in the blood of Jesus. -- The Simple Road to Salvation: Salvation is achieved by simply confessing with the mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in the heart that God raised Him from the dead (The Romans Road). -- Open Communion: All born-again believers in a relationship with Jesus Christ are welcomed to fellowship at the Lord's table, regardless of church membership. Scriptures for Further Study -- 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 -- Matthew 26:26-28 -- Mark 14:22-24 -- Luke 22:19-20 -- Leviticus 17:11 -- Hebrews 9:11-14 -- Hebrews 9:22 -- Hebrews 9:28 -- Ephesians 2:8-9 -- Romans 10:5-13

  • Freedom by Pastor Joshua Limpert
    2025/10/26
    The Paradox of Peace: Finding Freedom in the Shackles Join Pastor Joshua Limpert as he dives deep into the concept of freedom, starting with the sacrifice of military service and culminating in the spiritual freedom offered by Jesus Christ. Using the dramatic account of Paul and Silas in the Philippian jail from Acts chapter 16, Pastor Limpert reveals that true liberty is not dependent on circumstances, but on a deep surrender to the Lordship of Jesus. Their midnight worship, born from faith, brought an earthquake that not only opened the doors but also broke their shackles. In this message, you will learn: -- True freedom comes with a cost, a price that was paid by Paul and Silas, and ultimately by Jesus. -- The peace of God surpasses all understanding and is not bound by your current circumstances—it doesn't have to make sense. -- A lack of peace means you are likely dragging burdens from your past, which haunt and prevent true service to God. -- True salvation is found in the simple but profound command: "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved." -- The promise of salvation extends to your entire household when you fully surrender to Christ. -- The ways of the world are chains and shackles, and sin gives the enemy legal access to your life. -- If you abide in Christ's word, you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Scriptures for Further Study -- Acts 16:19-34 -- John 8:31-33 -- Philippians 4:4-7

  • A Willing Vessel: Embracing God's Open Doors by Kimberly Dissmore
    2025/11/02
    In this candid and challenging message, missionary associate Kimberly Dissmore shares her powerful testimony of recognizing and accepting God's call to serve in England. Growing up in the church, Kimberly learned the importance of transitioning from a family-based faith to a deeply personal relationship with God. She explains the reality of the spiritual isolation and secularism she is preparing to combat overseas, and how this struggle with "generational doubt" is also subtly creeping into the States. Kimberly breaks down a key Scripture that confirmed her call, showing how God acknowledges our weaknesses yet still places open doors before us. You'll be challenged to re-examine what it means to be a "willing vessel" versus robbing yourself of joy by trying to walk in your own strength. Key Takeaways from the Message: -- It's time to own your relationship with God; at the end of the day, it is you and the Lord. -- The Lord knows your weaknesses ("little strength") and is not downplaying them; He simply doesn't let them define you. -- Generational faith is a legacy built by praying parents and friends who are not ashamed to live for God. -- We must stop placing human limitations on God; He will equip you to walk through the doors He opens. -- Being a missionary doesn't require a passport; it begins with living your life in a way that honors the Lord. Scriptures for Further Study -- Matthew 28:19 -- Revelation 3:8 -- 2 Corinthians 12:9

  • A New Commandment by Pastor Joshua Limpert
    2025/11/09
    In this candid message, Pastor Joshua Limpert shares a challenging, eye-opening paper that contrasts the nature of the world’s kingdom with God’s Kingdom. He opens up about his own season of having to humble himself and serve in a company he once managed, realizing the deeper call to be a servant with a grateful heart. This practical journey leads to the central teaching of the message: The New Commandment. Pastor Limpert delves into what it truly means to love one another, just as Jesus has loved us (John 13:34). He emphasizes that this love is the distinguishing mark by which all people will know we are Christ's disciples. The teaching contrasts the tribal, self-interested nature of the world's kingdom with God's universal love that sacrifices personal interest. He explores the powerful example of Jesus washing the disciples' feet, illustrating true greatness is found in humble service. The message warns against operating out of fear or self-ambition (seeking title over God's will), which prevents us from demonstrating authentic, transformative love. He concludes by reminding us that the will of God cannot be accomplished without the love of God, and encourages an examination of our hearts using the characteristics of love from 1 Corinthians 13. Scriptures for Further Study -- John 13:34-35 -- John 15:12-17 -- Isaiah 52:1-15 -- John 13:1-17 -- 1 Corinthians 13:4-9

  • More Than the Prodigal: The Lost, The Found, and Your Eternal Value by Zach Rocke
    2025/11/16
    Finding the Lost Treasure Within: A Study of Luke 15 In this compelling study from Luke 15, Zach Rocke explores the famous parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son, challenging the listener to apply what he calls the "law of inversion"—if Jesus is the shepherd, then we, as his followers, must also be the shepherd. This message is for both the 'lost' and the 'found,' addressing the need for every believer to leave behind performance and reclaim their eternal, unchangeable value in Christ. The teaching is structured around three actionable points for every believer's life: -- Leave the crowd: To find lost things—including the lost parts of yourself (spirit, soul, and body) still carrying trauma or negativity—you must sometimes leave the crowds, lifestyles, or relationships that pull you away from Jesus's best. -- Clean your house: As the temple of the Holy Spirit, judgment must begin with God's household (1 Peter 4:17). We must sweep our own hearts and lives first before judging others. Rocke emphasizes that the woman swept the house because of the coin's value, not to earn it—your value is not performance-based. -- Stay thankful: The Prodigal Son knew his way home, but the Elder Brother, who stayed, missed out on the Father's provision due to a lack of thankfulness. Full access to the Kingdom is granted not through a perfect track record or performance, but through thanksgiving. Scriptures for Further Study -- Luke 15 (The Parables of the Lost) -- 1 Peter 4:17 (Judgment begins with the house of God)

  • Raising a Godly Legacy: The Parent's Role in a Child's Destiny by Pastor Mike Jenkins
    2025/11/23
    In a moving service featuring the dedication of miracle baby Abigail Ava Marie Rose Banda, Pastor Mike Jenkins uses the family's testimony of loss and triumph to teach on the sacred stewardship of raising children. This message offers foundational instruction on biblical parenting, clarifying key doctrinal points and empowering parents to embrace their God-given role as primary spiritual influencers. Main Points from the Message: -- Dedication vs. Baptism: Baptism is for believers who can repent and profess faith; baby dedication is a surrender of the child and a solemn commitment of the parents to raise the child in the faith. -- The Backstory of a Miracle: Kumbo and Lisa Banda share the incredible journey of receiving a prophetic word, facing an emergency surgery (surplus), and experiencing God's peace and victory through a difficult pregnancy and delivery. -- God's Plan for Procreation: The union of men and women in marriage is a blessing and a ministry for procreating and nurturing souls toward the kingdom of God, leading to both a natural and supernatural birth. -- The Core Responsibility of Parents: Parents must start children off on the way they should go (Proverbs 22:6), teaching them right from wrong and laying the foundation for their relationship with God. -- The Faith Family's Role: The church must echo the truths being laid down at home, covenanting to pray for the child, model godliness, and support the family in their task. -- Creating a Heritage and a Legacy: Godly parenting provides a spiritual peace and rest, assuring parents that their child will be equipped to walk in truth, make wise choices, and represent the family and the Kingdom well. Scriptures for Further Study -- Isaiah 43 -- Proverbs 22:6 -- Deuteronomy 6 -- Psalms 22:9 -- Ephesians 6
