In this message, Pastor James Epperly shares a powerful follow-up to “When God Says Go” and “Feed Your Faith” called “Victory Is in My DNA.” Before you can walk fully into what God has called you to, you have to know who you are. You are not an accident. You are not defined by your past, your family history, your failures, or what has been spoken over you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, born again in Christ, and called to live from a new identity. Using Psalm 139, the picture of DNA, the story of champion racehorses, and the truth of our new spiritual bloodline in Jesus, this message reminds us that victory is not accidental. In Christ, victory is by design. This sermon will encourage you to stop agreeing with defeat, break generational cycles, feed your faith, and make up your mind that you are not turning back. If God says go, we go. If faith has to be fed, we feed it. And if Jesus has made us new, we live like there is victory in our DNA. 

In this message, Pastor James Epperly shares a practical and encouraging word called “Feed Your Faith.” Every day, we are feeding something. We scroll through news feeds, social feeds, video feeds, and information feeds — but are we feeding our faith? Faith does not grow accidentally. Faith grows intentionally. Whatever you feed grows: fear grows when you feed it, anxiety grows when you feed it, doubt grows when you feed it, but faith grows when you feed it. 

In this message, Pastor James Epperly shares a timely word called “When God Says GO.”
There are seasons when God calls us to say no to distraction, so what to the things that do not matter eternally, and then go when He tells us to move forward.
From Abraham stepping out in faith, to Moses refusing to move without the presence of God, to Israel standing at the Red Sea, this message reminds us that obedience often comes before the miracle. Sometimes God does not give us every detail first. Sometimes He simply says, “Go.”

In this message, Pastor Jason Brett walks through the life of Jacob and reminds us that God often works through imperfect people, messy situations, family struggles, and seasons of personal growth.
Jacob’s story is filled with striving, deception, disappointment, and wrestling — but it is also filled with the patience and faithfulness of God. From his early search for favor to his life-changing encounter at the ford of Jabbok, we see a God who does not give up on us.
This message will encourage you to trust that even when your story feels complicated, God is still present, still redeeming, and still rewriting your identity for His purpose. While we may feel like we are searching for an authentic blessing, God is often using the journey to transform who we are.

In this powerful message from Hope City Church, Cheryl Weaver shares a timely word about walking in God’s favor during difficult and pressured seasons.
Preaching from 2 Chronicles 20, Cheryl uses the story of King Jehoshaphat to remind us that when the battle feels too big, we do not have to panic. The battle belongs to the Lord.
This message includes a prophetic word about a three-week period beginning July 2nd, referred to as “Between the Straits,” and encourages believers to trust God for favor, protection, provision, and promotion.

In this message, Pastor James Epperly shares a timely word called “Follow Me” about what it really means to live as a disciple of Jesus. Jesus did not call us to simply believe from a distance. He called us to follow Him with our whole lives. That means learning to depend on God, stay aligned with His Word, abide in Christ, and bring our hearts, words, and actions into agreement with Him. From Matthew 10, John 15, and Isaiah 50, this message reminds us that fruit does not come from striving. Fruit comes from abiding. Our job is obedience; God’s job is the outcome. When we stop trying to control everything and return to the vine, our lives begin to bear the kind of fruit only God can produce. If you have been carrying too much in your own strength, speaking more from pressure than promise, or asking God to bless a life He is trying to realign, this message will encourage you to come back to the simple call of Jesus: Follow Me. If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to be reminded to stay connected to Jesus and trust Him with the outcome. 

From the first family in the Garden of Eden, we see a pattern that still speaks to homes today: after the wedding came warfare. The serpent came after Adam and Eve’s family, and God’s question to Adam still echoes to fathers, husbands, and men today: Where are you?  This message is a call for fathers to come out of hiding, reject passivity, and stand in spiritual responsibility for their families. It may not always be your fault, but as a father, husband, and man of God, it is your responsibility to pray, lead, protect, teach, repent, and leave a godly legacy. Whether you are a father, future father, single parent, spiritual father, or someone healing from father wounds, this message will encourage you to believe that the blood of Jesus is enough to restore families, break cycles, and raise up a generation that follows God.

Not every arrow is an attack. Some arrows are instructions. In this message from our Better Together series, Pastor James Epperly teaches from the story of David and Jonathan in 1 Samuel 20. David had been anointed by God, but he still needed Jonathan to help him discern the season he was in. When Jonathan shot the arrows into the field, they were more than a signal — they were a message. They warned David, redirected him, protected him, and prepared him for what God had ahead. There are seasons in life when we need godly people to help us understand what God is saying. Is this rejection or redirection? Is this opposition or protection? Is this a delay, a warning, or a transition? You cannot always decipher the arrows alone.

In this teaching, Brian Willison shares a powerful word on Partnership, Participation, and Sharing—three biblical keys that move us from passive faith into active Kingdom impact. God has called us not only to receive His blessing, but to participate in His purpose, partner with His work, and share what He has placed in our hands to advance the Gospel.
This message will encourage you to see your role in the Kingdom with fresh faith, renewed purpose, and a greater understanding of how God uses willing people to make an eternal difference.

What if the miracle is not delayed because Jesus is unwilling—but because the room is filled with the wrong voices? In this powerful message from Mark 5, Pastor James Epperly teaches from the story of Jairus’ daughter and reveals how Jesus cleared the room before He spoke resurrection life. Wrong voices can carry fear, doubt, unbelief, and discouragement, but the Word of God has the final authority. This sermon will encourage you to guard your atmosphere, recognize voices that weaken your faith, and make room for Jesus to speak life over what feels dead. If you have been battling fear, confusion, negative reports, or voices that keep pulling you away from faith, this message will help you stand on the Word and believe again. When the room gets clear, the Word gets heard. And when the Word gets heard, dead things get up. 

God is not only the One who has provided before—He is the One who will provide again. In this Mother’s Day message, Pastor James Epperly teaches from Genesis 22 on the name Jehovah Jireh, “The Lord Will Provide,” and shows how faith, obedience, and trust position us to experience God’s provision in our lives. Through the stories of Abraham and Isaac, Mary at the wedding in Cana, and the feeding of the five thousand, this sermon reveals that God’s supply is often found on the other side of obedience. You will be encouraged to trust God when you cannot yet see the answer, believe that He has already prepared what you need, and remember that He is not the God of barely enough—He is the God of more than enough. This message also includes a special Mother’s Day encouragement from the story of Mary, showing the power of a mother who knows how to bring a need to Jesus and keep pointing her family toward His Word. 

What if you’re closer to your breakthrough than you think—but about to walk away? In this powerful message, Pastor James Epperly teaches how many people miss what God has for them not because they failed—but because they stopped too soon. Through the story of a miner who quit just three feet before striking gold, along with biblical examples like King Agrippa, Felix, and the scribe in Mark 12, this sermon reveals the danger of living in “almost,” “not quite,” and “not far.” You’ll discover why delay can cost you everything, how to recognize when you’re on the edge of breakthrough, and what it means to keep believing when nothing seems to be happening. This message will challenge you to take one more step—because your miracle may be just a few feet away. 

What if the reason things feel like they’re falling apart… isn’t the attack—but the environment? In this powerful teaching from the Book of Ruth, we uncover a critical truth: when you leave the environment God designed—His Word and His presence—things begin to die. Naomi’s family started in Bethlehem (the place of bread and praise)… but in a famine, they made a decision that cost them everything. And many believers are still making that same mistake today.

The words you speak are shaping the direction of your life. In this message, Pastor James teaches how fear, doubt, and unbelief often show up first in our speech—and how faith brings our mouth into agreement with the Word of God. If you’ve been stuck in the language of defeat, this teaching will help you move from “I can’t” to “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
This message will encourage you to stop repeating what God never said, break agreement with limitation, and start speaking in line with His strength, His promises, and His purpose for your life. God has not called you to live defeated, intimidated, or stuck in setback. Through Christ, you can move forward, stand in faith, and overcome.

Why does it feel like God planted something good in your life, but pain, fear, confusion, and resistance keep showing up beside it? In this message, Pastor James unpacks the parable of the wheat and the tares from Matthew 13 and reveals a powerful truth: just because there are weeds in the field does not mean the harvest is lost. If you’ve ever wondered why good and bad seem to grow at the same time, why the battle got stronger when you started growing, or why the enemy fights you in the areas where God has called you, this message will encourage your faith and strengthen your perspective. The attack is not proof that God abandoned you. It may be proof that something valuable is growing in you. What God planted still matters, and the weeds will not win. 

esus had already told the disciples what was going to happen. He said He would be betrayed, crucified, and rise again on the third day. But when Friday came, fear made them forget what He had said. In this Easter message, Pastor James reminds us how easy it is to lose sight of God’s promises when we are walking through pain, grief, disappointment, or uncertainty. Yet the resurrection declares that God always keeps His Word. The empty tomb is proof that Jesus did exactly what He said He would do. This message explores the power of remembering God’s promises, the meaning of “It is finished,” and the hope we have because Jesus Christ is alive. If you are in a season where life feels heavy and the future seems unclear, this sermon will encourage you to hold on to what Jesus has said and trust that Sunday is still coming.

When we experience pain in our lives, it is difficult to believe that there can be any purpose in it. Pain indicates something wrong and alerts us we need to seek out what is the issue. In our walk as followers of Jesus, we will at times experience physical, emotional or spiritual pain. God wants to utilize so that He will be glorified, and we become a testimony of what God can do. Paul wrote a letter to the church at Corinth which becomes a lesson to us that God is with us in the pain and is our comforter. The question is will be trust Him?   

In this message, Pastor James shares a powerful word from the Jesus Is series: Jesus Is the Carpenter. In Mark 6, Jesus was called “the carpenter,” and what some people used to reduce Him actually reveals something beautiful about His nature. Jesus is the One who restores design, rebuilds what has been broken, and finishes what He starts. This sermon explores how Jesus is not distant from pain, failure, weakness, or unfinished places in our lives. He is hands-on. He cuts with purpose, heals what has been damaged, wastes nothing, and knows how to turn broken places into testimonies of His grace. If you have ever felt stuck, overlooked, wounded, or discouraged, this message will remind you that your life is still in the hands of the Master Carpenter.
