In this powerful sermon, Elder Allen Plumber delivers a stirring message titled "Just Enough is Not Enough," encouraging believers to live with a faith that is full, sustainable, and ready to meet the demands of the times.

Drawing from Matthew 25:8-9 and the broader context of Matthew 25:1-15, Elder Plumber challenges listeners to examine the state of their spiritual lives. Using the parable of the wise and foolish virgins, he reminds us that being "half full" or even "half empty" simply isn't enough when it comes to living a life pleasing to God. Our spiritual reserves must be overflowing — not just for ourselves, but so we can support others when they are in need.

Key questions for reflection include:

• When was the last time you told someone, they needed to be saved?
• Can someone truly count on you for prayer and spiritual support?
• How bright is your light shining in a world that desperately needs hope?

Elder Plumber emphasizes that it’s not enough to "have just enough" — we must pursue a deeper, lasting relationship with God that can sustain us through trials and empower us to pour into others.

Follow Along with These Notes:

• Scripture References: Matthew 25:8-9, Matthew 25:1-15
• Self-Reflection:
  • Are you spiritually half empty or half full?
  • Either way, it's not enough — seek to be completely full.
• Action Points:
  • Commit to telling others about salvation through Jesus. We can't share our oil, but we can preach.
  • Be someone others can depend on for consistent prayer.
  • Keep your spiritual lamp filled and your light burning brightly.
• Final Encouragement: Get filled, stay filled, and let your life be a source of sustainable faith for yourself and for others.

This Resurrection Sunday, we reflect on the heart of the Christian faith by exploring three pivotal elements from the final days of Jesus’ earthly ministry: The Crowd, The Cross, and The Cost. Using the events of Palm Sunday and the journey to the cross, we examine how quickly public opinion shifted, what Jesus endured, and what it truly means to follow Him.

This message is a call to authentic discipleship—not just celebration in the moment, but a life that reflects the mission and sacrifice of Christ.

Listener Notes & Key Points:

1. The Crowd: From Cheers to Crucifixion

John 12:13 / Matthew 27:22–23

• The same crowd that shouted “Hosanna!” soon cried “Crucify Him!”
• They celebrated Jesus as King when they thought He would fulfill their expectations—especially political ones.
• When He didn’t meet those expectations, they turned on Him.
  Application:
• Don’t chase the approval of people—it can shift overnight.
• True faith isn’t rooted in the mood of the moment but in the mission of Christ.
• Romans 12:2 reminds us not to conform but to be transformed.

Reflection Question:
Have I ever changed my loyalty based on unmet expectations?

2. The Cross: The Ultimate Sacrifice

Isaiah 53:5 / Mark 10:45

• Jesus willingly endured the agony of the cross: betrayal, mockery, scourging, and crucifixion.
• He was pierced, crushed, beaten, and whipped—for us.
• He didn't go to the cross because He was forced to, but because He came to serve and to give His life as a ransom.

Key Truths:

• Salvation is free to us but it cost Jesus everything.
• The cross was the redemptive mission—Jesus paid a price we could never pay.
• Even in His suffering, Jesus fulfilled prophecy and the Father's will.

Reflection Question:
Do I truly understand the weight of what Jesus endured for me?

3. The Cost: Following Jesus Wholeheartedly

John 12:24–26

• Jesus teaches that unless a grain of wheat dies, it cannot bear fruit—death precedes multiplication.
• He calls us to take up our own cross, to follow Him fully—not conveniently.
• Discipleship requires surrender, sacrifice, and servanthood.

Three Powerful Truths from Jesus’ Words:

1. “He who loves his life will lose it…” – Clinging to worldly comfort leads to spiritual loss.
2. “He who hates his life in this world will keep it…” – A life laid down for Christ is a life secured in eternity.
3. “If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me…” – True service to Christ is not just lip service but life service.

Reflection Question:
What am I willing to lay down in order to fully follow Jesus?

Final Thought:
From the crowd to the cross, and finally to the cost—this Resurrection message challenges us not just to celebrate Jesus, but to follow Him no matter the cost. Palm branches and praises are easy in good times, but true discipleship is proven in sacrifice and obedience.

Takeaway Prayer:
“Lord, thank You for paying the ultimate price for my salvation. Help me not to be a fair-weather follower but a faithful disciple—willing to carry my cross and follow You no matter the cost. Amen.”

Key Scriptures:
Exodus 1:9 – “Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become far too numerous for us.”
Exodus 3:7 – “I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.”
Isaiah 55:8 – “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.

Sermon Summary:

In this powerful and timely message, Pastor Stacie Rodgers reminds us that God has not forgotten His people. Even when we feel overlooked, delayed, or burdened by the weight of life, we are still seen, heard, and deeply known by God.

The message opens with a reflection on Israel’s bondage in Egypt—a time when they were numerous but oppressed. It seemed like God was silent. But Pastor Stacie brings our attention to Exodus 3:7, where God declares that He has seen, heard, and knows the sorrows of His people. This is not just a distant observation; it's a deeply personal and intentional awareness.

We are reminded through the life of Moses that timing is everything. God’s plan for deliverance had many moving parts: the rise of Israel in Egypt, the birth of Moses, his journey through the palace and the wilderness—then God called him. Moses’ life was a divine puzzle piece. So is yours.

Whenever you find yourself asking “Why?”, Pastor Stacie encourages you to remember: God has a plan. His thoughts are higher, and His timing is perfect—even when it feels delayed. Just like an archaeologist handles fragile artifacts with care, God is delicately and purposefully shaping you for His glory. You are chosen for such a time as this.

Listener Notes & Takeaways:

• God sees and hears you. Your cries have not gone unnoticed (Exodus 3:7).
• Every step of your journey is part of the plan. Moses wasn’t called by accident—his life was intentional.
• Delay is not denial. God’s timing often looks different from ours (Isaiah 55:8).
• You are chosen. Reactivate your confidence in God’s calling.
• Go through it armed this time. You’re not the same person you were before.
• Affirmation: “God didn’t make a mistake choosing me.”

Pastor Stacie ends with a powerful reminder to walk boldly in your calling, knowing that God has not forgotten you. Like Moses, you’ve been chosen for a divine assignment. Don’t shrink back—step up and show God He was right when He called your name.

Tune in, take notes, and get ready to walk in your purpose—armed this time.

Scripture Focus: Luke 6:48
“He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock...”

Sermon Summary:

This message challenges believers to take personal responsibility for their spiritual growth by digging deeper in God. Inspired by the visual of a yard sign saying “Before you D.I.G.,” the sermon draws a parallel between physical excavation and spiritual exploration.

We often crave elevation—going higher in God—but digging deeper means doing the hard, personal work of building a life firmly rooted in Christ. Just like checking for utility lines before breaking ground, we must prepare before going deeper spiritually.

The scripture reminds us that storms will come, but those whose foundation is deep in God will stand firm. The challenge? Don’t fear the digging process. God honors intentionality.

Key Points & Takeaways:

1. Fearful of Being Faithful – Luke 12:48

• Many of us stop progressing because we fear what deeper faith might require of us.
• Like Spider-Man’s Uncle Ben said: "With great power comes great responsibility."
• God expects us to use what He's given—our time, talents, and resources—to glorify Him and serve others.
• Don't let the fear of responsibility keep you from your next level in God.

2. Fearful of Being Fruitful – John 15:5

• The enemy will try to discourage you by reminding you of barren seasons.
• But even in fruitful seasons, pruning is necessary—God cleanses us to help us grow.
• Resistance doesn't mean you’re failing; it means you're maturing.

3. Fearful of Forward – Philippians 3:14

• Pressing forward requires effort—it’s not always comfortable or easy.
• We can't shortcut our way to spiritual growth; there’s no "sleeping your way to the top" in the Kingdom.
• Keep pressing. Forward is still possible, even if it's unfamiliar.

Before You D.I.G. – Spiritual Utility Checklist

Just like calling 811 before digging in your yard, there are spiritual steps to take before going deeper in God:

1. Call First – Romans 10:13
   • Call on God. Make sure you’re seeking Him, not just your own ambition.
2. Timing Matters
   • Call three days in advance. Spiritually, this means fast, pray, and wait for God’s timing before making big moves.
3. Mark the Ground
   • Identify existing spiritual connections—don’t damage something God already built in you while chasing something He didn’t call you to.
   • Honor spiritual boundaries and divine red flags.
4. Know the Address
   • Understand where you are now in your spiritual journey.
   • Are you digging for God or for His glory? Stay connected to your assignment.
5. Respect Boundaries
   • Once you get the green light, proceed with caution. It’s not a race—just finish faithfully.
   • Watch for dangers beneath the surface—like utility lines, hitting one could cause spiritual “service interruptions.”

Final Word:

Just like in Luke 6:48, the man who dug deep and built on the rock wasn’t shaken when storms came. We’re called to do the same—dig deep, lay a solid foundation, and stand firm.

Before you D.I.G., call on God, check your surroundings, and know where you're headed. Going deeper isn’t about performance—it’s about obedience and trust.

In this powerful sermon, Overseer Mary Walker delves into Luke 4:33-37, where Jesus encounters a man in the synagogue possessed by an unclean spirit. With divine authority, Jesus rebukes the spirit, demonstrating the power of God in action.

Overseer Walker challenges us with a crucial question: What is power without authority? She reminds us that as believers, we have been equipped with the Holy Spirit, but it is up to us to activate that power in our daily lives. Just as Jesus stood firm in the wilderness, we must also stand in faith, using the authority we have through Christ.

It's time to stop waiting and start walking in the power that God has already placed within us. No matter the obstacles we face, we are called to Power Up and move forward in faith!

Key Takeaways:
🔹 The Holy Spirit is our source of strength in every season.
🔹 Authority comes from knowing and exercising God’s power in our lives.
🔹 We must activate our faith and step boldly into our calling.

Join us as we dive into this empowering word that will ignite your spirit and challenge you to Power Up – It’s Time to Move!

In this episode, we dive into Elder Chaquetta Guthrie’s powerful sermon based on Exodus 3:11-12, where Moses wrestles with his identity and God’s calling on his life. Like Moses, many of us struggle with doubt—questioning whether we are enough for the task God has set before us. But God sees beyond our fears and insecurities.

Elder Guthrie challenges us to reflect on three key areas:

1. Heart’s Posture – What is the motive behind your actions? Are you aligned with God’s purpose?
2. Perspective – How do you see yourself? Are you looking through the lens of your past failures or God’s promises?
3. Skills – Do you believe you have what you need? Stop disqualifying yourself—God has already equipped you for the journey ahead.

The same place where the enemy tried to defeat you is the very place God will use to accomplish His will. It’s time to stop discounting yourself—you are valuable!

Tune in as we unpack how God turns our lowest moments into steppingstones for His divine purpose.

Main Scripture References:

• 3 John 1:2 - "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."
• 2 Kings 4:1-7 - The story of the widow, Elisha, and the miracle of the oil.

Introduction

• This message is inspired by "Million Dollar Sunday," an opportunity for believers to reflect on God’s provision beyond finances.
• The sermon is not about a prosperity gospel but about recognizing and activating the blessings already within our reach.
• Drawing from "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, we explore biblical principles that lead to true prosperity in life.

Key Themes & Takeaways

1. Death and Debt (2 Kings 4:1)

• The widow’s husband, a godly man, died with debt, leaving his family vulnerable.
• Financial responsibility is crucial—spouses should be informed about financial matters.
• Practical Application: Have life insurance and ensure your family’s future security.
• Spiritual Insight: Faith does not eliminate financial obligations—wisdom and stewardship do.

2. Pain and Panic (2 Kings 4:1)

• The widow was grieving and facing a financial crisis.
• In biblical times, unpaid debt could lead to family members being taken as slaves.
• Lesson: Leaving loved ones in financial distress adds to emotional pain—planning ahead is an act of love.

3. Provision and Purpose (2 Kings 4:2)

• Elisha asked, "What do you have in your house?"—a question that shifts focus from lack to resourcefulness.
• The widow initially saw nothing of value but then recognized her small pot of oil.
• Lesson: Sometimes, the miracle is already within your possession; it just needs activation.
• Spiritual Application: Your blessings often begin with what you already have—faith, skills, ideas, or even connections.

4. Work, Worth, and Wealth (2 Kings 4:5-7)

• The widow had to take action—borrowing vessels and pouring oil.
• The oil only stopped when there were no more vessels left.
• Key Takeaway: The miracle was in the pour, not in the pot—growth happens when we stretch beyond our current state.
• Application:
  • Recognize the value in what you already have.
  • Take action—effort is required for blessings to manifest.
  • Be prepared for abundance; lack of preparation can limit your blessing.

Final Reflection: Where Is Your Jar?

• The widow’s sons collected the jars, but she understood the many uses of oil (light, cooking, healing, anointing).
• Had she collected more vessels, the oil might have continued flowing.
• Lesson: What are you limiting in your life due to small expectations?
• Health Connection: Even in the natural, olive oil has powerful benefits (anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antihistamine).

Conclusion: Think and Grow Rich in Health, Wealth, and Soul

• God’s intention is for His people to prosper in all aspects—not just financially but in well-being and spiritual life.
• Challenge for Listeners: Identify what you already have that God can multiply.
• Key Verse to Hold Onto: "Above all things, I wish that you prosper, be in health, even as your soul prospers." (3 John 1:2)

Call to Action:

• Reflect on your own "jar"—what gifts, resources, and opportunities has God already given you?
• Take a step of faith and activate what you have in your life.

Scripture Reference: Philippians 4:13 – "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

Introduction:

Over the past few weeks, we’ve built a foundation of hope—After This, Victory is in Your Hands and It’s All Mine! But now, the question is: What will you do with what you’ve claimed?

In this episode, we explore The Power of Belief. While faith and belief are often used interchangeably, they have distinct meanings. Understanding the difference can unlock the promises of God in your life.

Faith vs. Belief:

• Faith requires trust, action, and endurance—even when doubts arise.
• Belief is based on logic and experience but doesn’t always motivate action.
• Example: You can believe a parachute will open, but faith is jumping out of the plane and pulling the cord.

Faith is the commitment to align your actions with your beliefs.

Key Takeaways from the Sermon:

I. I Need Proof (Romans 10:9-10)

• Confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection brings salvation.
• Belief leads to righteousness, but confession secures salvation.
• A victorious mindset allows you to:
  • Survive
  • Overcome
  • Arrive at your expected end
  • Recover what’s rightfully yours (Ziklag faith!).

II. "I Can Do" – Philippians 4:13

• Paul, writing in hardship, declared that true strength comes from Christ.
• This verse is a reminder that we overcome not by our own power, but by His.
• No obstacle is too great when we rely on God’s strength.

III. Your Superhero Season

• Your prayer closet is your changing station.
• Your faith is your superpower.
• This is your season to run through troops and leap over walls!
• Need a cape? Throw on your prayer shawl and trust God for the rest.
