Contrary to what pop culture would have you believe, the true gospel of Christ is ANTI-SELF!!!
As believers, we MUST be alert and watchful, not living distracted lives.
While Christians are distracted the world remains deceived!!!
Jesus COMMANDS us in Matthew 28:18-20 to GO! We are not saved to sit, we are saved to share!
The Great Commission is not a destination, it’s a daily decision. Convenience and comfort are not luxuries we can indulge in as disciples of Christ.
Arm yourself with your testimony.
Look for people to share God’s goodness with.
Go out of your way to point everyone you meet to Christ.
Every interaction we have is an opportunity for true life change. The world is hungry for truth and hope, and those in Christ have the answer.
Let’s GO!
Love. It is a fire that burns within.
It causes us to seek redemption over and revenge and prayer over payback.
**This Sunday’s message from Pastor Jon Purkey will change your life.**
In a bold, Spirit-led word titled *"The Power of His Presence,"* Pastor Jon reminds us that without God's presence, we are powerless, directionless, and spiritually dead. But with His presence? We have power, peace, transformation, and purpose.
🔥 This message dives into:
- Why **truth over tolerance** still matters
- The real cost of **spiritual compromise**
- How the Holy Spirit **sets you apart**
- Why **success without God is failure in disguise**
- A powerful **altar call with lives radically changed**
- How to live fully in the **power and presence of the Holy Ghost**
This isn't a sermon for the faint of heart—it's a **wake-up call to the church**, a declaration of war against fear, division, and watered-down Christianity. Watch until the end for a **Holy Spirit-led moment of salvation and breakthrough** unlike anything you’ve seen.

He turns sorrow into dancing, ashes into beauty, defeat into victory, and endings into new beginnings. What the enemy meant for evil, God flips for good!
Overcoming the Tempter
Have you ever felt like you’re on the mountain top in one area of life, only to be in the deepest valley in another area?
How do you handle going from heaven’s approval, to hell’s attack?
The account of Jesus in the gospels being led in to the desert and tempted by Satan provides a clear and resounding example of understanding the right response and posture to have when we are at a low point and the enemy’s temptations come calling!!!!!
First of all, anchor yourself in the knowledge that being in the wilderness isn’t punishment, it’s preparation.
🔥DESTINY DEMANDS A DESERT🔥
Victory in private will always precede power in public!!!!!!
Jesus embodies this truth perfectly, in Matthew 4:1-11. Through this trial He faced, we can be confident that our Savior has been tested in every way, and we know He can empathize with us, just like Hebrews reminds us!
Satan tempts Jesus three times, in three different ways:
•Tempting of Proving Yourself
•Temptation of Pride
•Temptation of Reputation
Jesus’ responds EVERY TIME with scripture, showing us that the way to combat the enemy’s lies and temptations is with the truth of the Word.
Our flesh won’t defeat the enemy.
Our emotions won’t defeat the enemy.
Our willpower don’t defeat the enemy.
SATAN IS DEFEATED BY THE INFALLIBLE WORD OF GOD
When he comes in with his whispered lies, offering all the treasures of this world, remember this:
You don’t need what the devil is offering, you serve a king who owns it all!!!!
Stand firm in the truth of the Word, resist the enemy, he will flee, and you will be strengthened in your faith!
The faithful LOVE of the Lord NEVER FAILS!
Why Jesus?
Because He comes for us as we are. Because He beat death and offers us life. Because the world’s promises fade, but His word stands forever. He is alive. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Following Him may cost us everything, but it gives us everything that actually matters….purpose, peace, and eternal hope.
Matthew 10:39 • John 14:6 • Romans 5:8 • Revelation 1:18

Faith.
It is the currency of God’s Kingdom. Without it, it’s not only impossible to please the Lord but it’s impossible to fulfill God’s plan for your life. Our faith is built on our belief. What we really believe about God’s Word shows not in what we say, but in our actions.
Faith not only speaks, it moves, alive and active. Challenge yourself to speak ONLY faith based truths, based on what God’s Word says. The profession of your mouth creates the reality of your life.
Do not allow the devil to deplete your faith and steal your confident trust in the promises of God’s Word!!!
What does the Lord want you to let go of?
Truthfully, most of us have built monuments in our lives to people or things other than God.
If our desire is to live obedient to Christ and His Word, we must surrender everything we have to Him.
The cost for an anointed, Holy Ghost led life is high. Our pain can be turned to purpose, and suffering to salvation; but only when it’s given unto the Lord.
Examine your heart today, are you living a lifestyle rife with self sufficiently, ego, pride, lust, and so on? What is in your heart that you may not want to let go of, but you know you need to give up?
Don’t delay, not even another day, set everything aside for the sake of Christ, and step in to the kind of life that can be found only in Him!!!!!!

Alpha & Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
Jesus IS and has always been! His is the name above all names, our King of Kings and Lord of Lords!!!
Yet in His great mercy Jesus stepped into time, and extended His unfathomable grace and invited us into salvation.
Because HE is good, He chose to offer us a way out of our sin and utter desolation. Our hope for life eternal is rooted in Jesus Christ alone!!!
Jesus:
Loved Us | John 13:1, Romans 8:37-39
Washed Us | Psalm 103, Isaiah 78:13, Micah 7:19
Crowned Us | 1 Peter 2:9
Our only response to the greatness of our God is worship, praise, and thanksgiving! He is worthy to be praised and honored and glorified always!!!
Time is short, Jesus is returning soon, dig in to His word and allow His love, truth, and grace to radically change your life!!!!!!!
Wisdom, it is the difference between a good life and a God life.
Just reading the Word is not enough, wisdom requires application. Knowing what is right and doing what is right are two different things, wisdom is active!
Choosing to allow God’s Word to discipline and course correct us, is where true wisdom lies. Proverbs 3 reminds us that God’s correction is born of love and pushes us towards maturity.
God is so faithful, His discipline is productive and gracious. We can trust that He knows what is best for us, and has never left us alone. Dig in to God’s Word, apply it to your life and allow it to change you! God see’s who He created us to be, despite our flaws. No one can turn our lives to good the way He can!!!!
NEVER FORGET God’s commands and His teachings!!!!!! Proverbs 3 instructs us to store the Word in our hearts, THEN our natural overflow will be full of abundance 🙏🏼🔥
✔️Remember God’s Faithfulness
✔️Store His Word
✔️Honor His Commands
This is the recipe to an enjoyable life, follow these steps and God will not only add time to your life, but life to your time 🙌🏻
Following God’s recipe for life is a no fail plan for a 5 star result every single time.
We don’t have to understand what the Lord is asking of us, we just have to walk in obedience. Spiritual obedience is not striving for God’s attention, it’s collapsing in to His goodness and resting in the comfort of trust.
Whatever doubts and shortcomings you may have, surrender them to Him today 🙏🏼
