In Ephesians 4:11–13 we see God’s design for apostolic teams and the fivefold ministry: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. These gifts exist to edify the church, keep the body of Christ in God’s order, and build up regions for the advancement of His kingdom. Scripture reminds us that a three-stranded cord is not easily broken and that there is no such thing as doing the work of God alone. When God calls you, you cannot fail. Even when it looks like you are standing in what feels like a failing position, God is producing a win. Pressure brings alignment. God is a God of order, and He confirms His word as His people surrender and submit to Him. The promise is dependent on willing hearts that put faith into practice. God calls His people to go in and possess the land. Everywhere your foot touches will be yours. He has more for His church, and He desires His people to experience more of His kingdom. We are not called to conform to the world. We are called to transform regions with a supernatu

In Part 2 of our series on spiritual gifts, we look at how the gifts of the Spirit work within ministry and within the life of every believer. Our main passage is 1 Corinthians 12:1–11, where Scripture makes it clear that the Spirit divides the gifts to every person as He wills. Acts 2:38–39 reminds us that the Holy Ghost and the gifts of the Spirit are available to everyone. The Spirit gives gifts severally, meaning more than one, according to God’s calling and purpose for each life. God knows what He has called you to do, and the Holy Spirit equips you with exactly what you need. You are blessed to be a blessing, and the Giver of the gifts is fulfilled when His gifts flow through His people. The gifts operate out of overflow, and as a vessel, whatever the gift does for the church it does for you as well. Spiritual gifts shape how we think, how we speak, and how we act so we can become more like God. They are not our abilities but God working through us. We explored three categories of gifts: Thinking Gi

Jesus has always been, he was there in the beginning. He is the Word! He does not change, this you can depend on. Everything that was created was made by Him, for Him, through Him. He is still creating today because He does not change. The bread of Life is the bible, and in Him is life. In the book is found life. Scripture- John 1:1-5

The Holy Ghost is your teacher and will bring to remembrance all things. Be reminded that there hope and that the joy of the Lord is your strength.

In this new series, Pastor Shelby Crump teaches on the gifts of the Spirit and how they work in connection with the fruit of the Spirit. Our main scripture for the night is Exodus 28:31–34, where we visualize the ephod described in detail. On this garment there are alternating bells and pomegranates, and when the priest moves, the two touch and create a sound. In the same way, the gifts of the Spirit are activated by the movement of the fruit of the Spirit. There is action involved. Growth, maturity, and the work of the Spirit all move together. You may be wondering, “What are my gifts?” or “Where do I fit in the big picture of the church?” If so, this message will help bring clarity and direction. Enjoy this episode in our series on spiritual gifts and prepare to grow in knowledge and faith.

The glory of God isn’t confined to heaven because it’s here, present, and ready to move among us. In this message, Pastor Shelby Crump reminds us that the glory of God can become tangible, like fog that fills the room. Many are searching for something they can’t name, but in the midst of God’s glory, they will encounter Jesus. The glory of God is uncontainable and unstoppable, unhindered by the enemy, and destined to cover the earth. God is calling laborers to prepare the way for His glory to dwell among His people. Like Moses and Israel, we must desire His presence more than any promise or victory. When we no longer feel the manifest glory of the Lord, our hearts should be broken and stirred to seek Him again. The manifestation of God’s glory depends on us, on how we set the atmosphere and keep His presence at the center of everything.

In this sermon Pastor Billy Dupree reminds us of the resurrection power of Jesus Christ. This power is in us and we are changed when we are baptized by the Holy Ghost. Act in faith and know that it's in His power and not our own. Jesus is coming back, so don't let the enemy take away from you what God has for you.

In “Fresh, Hot, and Full of Flavor,” Pastor Shelby Crump unpacks Ruth 1:1–6 and the reality of a spiritual famine in our world today. Just as Naomi and Ruth left home in search of bread, many are searching for something to satisfy their starving souls — chasing fame, money, and self instead of God. But there’s good news: there’s bread in the house again. God is visiting His people and filling His church with fresh fire, revelation, and purpose. As believers, we’re called to be ready, full of the Spirit, and “fresh” for today — not stale or lukewarm. From the fire that refines us to the flavor that makes us stand out, this message reminds us that the world is hungry for something real — for believers who have been in the presence of God. When the church is hot, full of flavor, and filled with the glory of God, lives are changed, and the lost are drawn to the Bread of Life. Taste and see that the Lord is good. It’s time to serve the world something fresh, hot, and full of flavor.

When God visits man, everything changes—because nothing is impossible when God steps in. In this powerful message, we’re reminded that there is no enemy we should fear, for the One who is greater—God Himself—is for us. Now is the time of salvation, the time to humble ourselves, pray for our nation, and seek His face. God still heals, still saves, and still fills homes with His Spirit. He desires to reveal Himself in every fiery furnace we face and to shape us into who He wants us to be—not what we think we should become. Be encouraged to align your words with God’s truth, to believe for your family’s salvation, and to trust that He will supply every need. When God visits man, healing flows, revelation comes, and lives are forever changed.

Discipleship Is Not an Option. In this episode, we explore what true discipleship really means. Salvation may be free—but discipleship is costly. Drawing from Luke 14 and Matthew 28, we’re reminded that following Jesus requires sacrifice, daily devotion, and a willingness to become more like Him in every attribute. We’ll look at how the early church lived this out—meeting daily, breaking bread from house to house, and caring for one another in ways that reflected the heart of Christ. Before the government took on the role of meeting people’s needs, the church was the hands and feet of Jesus to its community. Disciples make disciples, and sheep beget sheep. Learn what it means to truly love, serve, and live like Jesus in a world that desperately needs to see Him through us.

In this powerful message, we’re reminded that God is preparing His church for what’s ahead—and it starts with our hearts. Too often we get caught up in the duty of ministry rather than the relationship with Jesus. But when we draw close to Him, we gain the sensitivity and discernment we’ll need in these times. Through the story of Paul and the damsel with the spirit of divination in Acts 16:16–18, we see the importance of spiritual discernment. The Church must once again be grieved by what grieves the Holy Spirit and learn to judge—not the flesh—but the spirits, in love and truth. From Hebrews 5:13–14 to 1 Corinthians 12:1, this teaching calls believers to grow from spiritual milk to strong meat—to develop the maturity needed to discern both good and evil. True discernment is not just a gift; it’s a responsibility for every believer walking closely with the Word and the Spirit. When we know the Word and walk with the Holy Spirit, we can clearly hear His voice, recognize His leading, and move in obedience.

In this episode of our Evangelism, Outreach, and Discipleship series, we continue the teaching on outreach and dive into an important question: Who should we be reaching out to? Learn how outreach builds on evangelism and discover practical insights for identifying and connecting with the people God has called us to reach. This lesson was followed by a class exercise in creating outreach events using the knowledge learned so far, which was not recorded.

In this message, The Fight for the Next Generation, we turn to 2 Kings 3:26–27 and hear the urgent call of God for His church: the harvest is ready, and it’s time to fight for the next generation of believers. This is not about age, but about souls—those who are coming to Christ for the first time and those yet to be reached. This message challenges us to: Break generational curses so new believers don’t inherit the same bondage. Hold to the ancient paths of truth (Jeremiah 6:16) and not water down the gospel. Preach Christ and Him crucified with clarity and boldness. Embrace the power of the Holy Ghost who still heals, delivers, and sets free. Show grace to new converts as they grow through the process of sanctification. We cannot pass on what we have not broken through. If we remain bound, those stepping into the faith will stumble where we stumbled. But if we walk in freedom, the next wave of believers will be bold, Spirit-filled, and ready to carry the truth of Jesus into the world. Key Scriptures

In Lesson 2 of our Evangelism, Outreach, and Discipleship series, Pastor Shelby Crump concludes the teaching on evangelism and begins exploring the vital subject of outreach. What is outreach, and how does it relate to evangelism? In this lesson, you’ll discover how the two connect and learn about the different types of outreach that can impact lives and communities for Christ.

This service brings a double portion of encouragement and conviction with messages from Pastor Billy Dupree and Pastor Shelby Crump. Pastor Dupree teaches what it truly means to walk with Jesus: to surrender fully, deny ourselves, and follow Him daily. He reminds us that grace though it is free it isn’t cheap, it calls us to lay down our old life and walk in newness of life. With stories of Peter’s restoration and warnings to not look back like Lot’s wife, we’re called to keep pressing forward, living in step with the Spirit, and making time for God above all else. Pastor Crump follows with a charge to the church from Mark 16:15 “Go into all the world and preach the gospel.” Preaching isn’t just for pulpits; every believer carries the power of the name of Jesus and the call to share the gospel. From salvation, healing, and deliverance into freedom, the name of Jesus still transforms lives today. Together, these messages remind us: Follow Jesus—and boldly proclaim His name.

In this class, you’ll learn how to evangelize with clarity and confidence. Pastor Shelby Crump began by teaching what evangelism is not, to help make clear what it truly is. True evangelism doesn’t simply point people to a church building, it points them to Jesus. Each person’s evangelism is unique and should not be compared to others. What matters most is that evangelism always shares the truth of Jesus.

In this Sermon, pastor Shelby Crump reminds us, oh men and women of God, to be fearless and be ready for the harvest. Be bold and don't be afraid or ashamed to proclaim Jesus, Be fearless! Be obedient to the Lord, not to the world.

God’s love is the foundation of everything we are called to be. John 3:16 shows the depth of the Father’s love for the world. That love does not wait for perfection; it reaches people even while they are still doing wrong. Romans 5:5 reminds us that the Spirit pours God’s love into our hearts. When we receive the Holy Spirit, Acts 1:8 promises power. That power enables us to love others sacrificially, to forgive and to move on. Baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire refines us and burns away the chaff, and God casts our sins into the sea of forgetfulness. This message will encourage us to ask God to fill us with his love, to forgive and forget, and to be used for his glory and honor. Pray with us: Lord, help me to love others as you love me.

The Journey of a Lifetime | 1 Kings 19:7 “The journey is too great for thee.” Life itself is a journey, from birth to death, and God has a plan for every step along the way. Your journey is unique, like a thumbprint, and your testimony reflects the story only you can tell. Though the road may feel overwhelming, with Jesus it becomes possible, because He is with you every step of the way. In this message, we look at the journeys throughout Scripture: * 1 Kings 19:7 – God was preparing Elijah for a miracle. * Ruth 1:1 – Sometimes loss happens along the way, but God is still faithful. * Luke 10:30-35 – The Good Samaritan shows us that on our journey, we are called to help and build each other up. * Luke 24:12-15 – On the road to Emmaus, Jesus Himself drew near and walked with them. * Luke 24:28-29 – Jesus was willing to go further, but they invited Him to abide. God is willing to go as far as you are willing to go. When you invite Him in, He will abide with you. No matter where you are on your journey, God i

In this message, we are reminded that the same God who declared, “I AM has sent me,” is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He holds all power, knows the end from the beginning, and has already prepared solutions before problems even arise. Life may bring unexpected circumstances, but you are never alone. God’s presence is constant, His purpose is greater, and His love is always pursuing you. The God who was with Moses, David, and Paul is the same God who lives within you today. Trust Him, lean on His Word, and know that He will see you through.
