Christians and alcohol. Few topics are more common in our culture and more ignored in the pulpit. In this sermon, Pastor Harold Warner takes Ephesians 5 head on and asks a blunt question: Are you living under the influence of alcohol, or under the influence of the Holy Spirit?
Preached in a season of “holiday cheer,” this message exposes the cultural propaganda around drinking, walks through the Bible’s real portrait of alcohol, and presses into the thing that actually matters: your testimony, your calling, and being filled with the Spirit.
Scriptures Mentioned:
• Ephesians 5:15–21
• Galatians 5:16–21
• 1 Peter 4:1–5
• Proverbs 20:1, Proverbs 23:29–35
• Romans 13:13–14
• Romans 12:1–2
In this message you will hear about:
• “Sipping saints” and why the line is never as clean as people pretend
• The war between flesh and Spirit, and what alcohol is really feeding
• Why the Bible’s “ad” for drinking looks nothing like Madison Avenue
• Noah, Lot, Nabal, Belshazzar, and the wreckage that follows drunkenness
• How Christian liberty can become a stumbling block for weaker believers
• Why a Spirit filled life is not optional if you want to impact people
• The power of a clear cut, no nonsense testimony in a foggy world
If you are wrestling with the “gray areas,” or if you have quietly opened the door to “just a little” alcohol, this sermon will not stroke your conscience. It will confront it, and then point you to something far better: a life filled with the Holy Spirit.

In this powerful message, Pastor Joe Campbell preaches from 1 Samuel 16 about David, the forgotten shepherd boy whom God saw as a king. Using the stunning story of Leonardo da Vinci’s “Salvator Mundi” painting that went from 120 dollars on a stairway wall to 450.3 million dollars at auction, Pastor Campbell drives home a convicting question:
What priceless value has God placed in your life, your church and your nation that you are walking past every day?

2 Kings 2 isn’t a cute Bible-college brochure. It’s a field manual. In this 2015 message, Pastor Greg Mitchell contrasts the “sons of the prophets” model with Elisha’s gritty, relational discipleship. Result: information alone never produced a prophet, but impartation and obedience did.
Key themes
Scriptures: 2 Kings 2; 1 Kings 19:19–21; James 1:22; Luke 5:4; Matthew 28:19.

Summary
Fathers are more than providers. They are “satellites”—God-placed guides who see farther, protect better, and aim children toward destiny. In this Father’s Day message from East Bakersfield, Pastor Raul Rodriguez walks through Scripture to show God’s blueprint for fatherhood: presence, protection, patience, and a legacy of integrity.
Key Scriptures
Matthew 7:9–11 — A good Father gives good gifts
Genesis 18:19 — Abraham’s faith and obedience shape a household
Matthew 1:19–24 — Joseph hears God and protects his family
Luke 15 — The Father runs to restore the prodigal
Big ideas:
• Fathers lead spiritually. Be the priest of your home.
• Presence is love. Attention shapes identity.
• Protection is spiritual first, then physical.
• Teach along the way. Ordinary moments disciple hearts.
• Integrity outlives accomplishments.

Description
Pastor Wayman Mitchell calls believers back to the Pentecostal power that transforms lives and sends churches. The kingdom advances in three concentric circles:
Personal — Obey your God-appointed “sphere.” Transformation beats information.
Church — Discipleship and church planting over megachurch optics. Unity multiplies impact.
Fellowship / Nations — “Regions beyond” still wait. Obedience enlarges faith.
Highlights include the “confessing 2,000” anecdote, synergy in small churches that plant, Abraham’s costly obedience, a 66-year-old pioneer’s letter from Nepal with healings, and a stirring call to plant churches now.
Key Scriptures: 2 Cor 10; Eph 1:17; 2 Pet 3:18; 1 Cor 14; Eph 3:20; Zech 4:10; Ps 133.

In this conversation, Pastor David Abrahams shares his remarkable journey from a Jewish upbringing in London to becoming a pastor in New Zealand. He discusses the challenges he faced growing up in a predominantly non-Jewish environment, his struggles with identity and belief, and how a surfing lifestyle led him to a path of self-discovery. Through various encounters with Christianity and a deep search for meaning, Pastor Abrahams ultimately finds faith and transformation in his life.

Men drift toward a limited view. Elisha shows another way. From 2 Kings 6:15–17, Pastor Jesse Morales calls men to pray for vision, lead beyond the problem, and break the negativity bias that cripples faith, marriage, family, and ministry. Jesus prayed for Peter. Paul prayed for the Ephesians. Vision is supernatural and transferable. Ask God to open your eyes.
Scripture: 2 Kings 6:15–17; Luke 22:31–32; Ephesians 1:17; Matthew 13:55–58; Proverbs 29:18; Zechariah 4:10; Isaiah 11:3.

Luke 2 is more than a Christmas reading. Pastor Ron Meyer shows how “taxing times” force us into God’s positioning. Bethlehem looked illogical. The manger looked like failure. Yet God was fulfilling prophecy, providing a Passover over hell, and sending provision before anyone saw it. This message calls leaders and disciples to drop self-reliance, embrace obedience, and walk by what is written—not by sight.

Final night at the Waltham Forest Conference, Pastor Greg Mitchell preaches “The Edge of Enlargement” from 2 Kings 6:1–7. When the work is “too small,” God calls us to enlarge. Enlargement requires responsibility, hard work, and a sharp edge—anointing that gives divine effectiveness. Learn how edges are lost (borrowed experience, no maintenance, sin), how to find where it fell, and how to recover it by faith and obedience.SUBSCRIBE TO PREMIUM FOR MORE:• Subscribe for only $3/month on Supercast: https://taking-the-land.supercast.com/• Subscribe for only $3.99/month on Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taking-the-land/subscribe• Subscribe for only $4.99/month on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3vy1s5bScripture: 2 Kings 6:1–7; Acts 2:37; Eccl. 10:10; 1 Tim. 4:16; 2 Tim. 1:6; Prov. 23:23; 1 Pet. 2:11.Chapters00:00 The Business of Blessings08:10 Memorial Giving and God's Records15:11 The Power of Obedience and Breakthroughs17:57 The Need for Enlargement in Ministry26:19 The Importance of Having an Edge29:15 Recognizing Missing Edges34:37 Personalizing Your Relationship with God37:01 The Need for Maintenance39:15 Finding Your Edge45:59 The Power of Recovery and MiraclesShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

World Evangelism Night from the Waltham Forest Conference with Pastor Greg Mitchell.

Pastor Scott Lamb preaches Jeremiah 8:18–9:1 on the grief and compassion of God for a lost world.

“You cannot build your church on religious people.” In this powerful opening night sermon of the Waltham Forest Conference, Pastor Nigel Brown issues a timely and prophetic warning: If we prioritize church growth over new birth, we may lose the very culture that fuels our calling.
Using Acts 5 as his foundation, Pastor Brown contrasts the “rest who dared not join” with those born again into a supernatural, Holy Ghost culture. He exposes the dangers of importing religious Christians rather than reaching sinners, and passionately defends the core values of evangelism, discipleship, church planting, and world evangelism.
With stirring illustrations, historical insight into the Salvation Army, and testimonies of transformation, this message will challenge every pastor, disciple, and believer to preserve the culture that God has entrusted to our fellowship.

Pastor Greg Mitchell closes San Antonio Conference with “Courage to Conquer” from 1 Chronicles 19:8–15. When Joab was surrounded front and back, he didn’t fold—he planned, split his forces, and cooperated with Abishai. This message tears down three myths: that courage is fearlessness, that life has easy paths, and that you can win by going alone.Key calls to action:• Do right when it’s difficult.• Plan ahead: budget, save, organize.• Reject tribalism; fight together.Scriptures: 1 Chr 19:8–15; Job 5:7; 1 Sam 17:24; Gen 41; Prov 21:5; 1 Cor 1:10–12; Ex 17.https://TakingTheLandPodcast.comSUBSCRIBE TO PREMIUM FOR MORE:• Subscribe for only $3/month on Supercast: https://taking-the-land.supercast.com/• Subscribe for only $3.99/month on Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taking-the-land/subscribe• Subscribe for only $4.99/month on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3vy1s5bChapters:13:30 – The Story of John Baca: Courage Under Fire15:20 – Joab Surrounded on Every Side (1 Chronicles 19)17:00 – What Real Courage Looks Like19:10 – Life Is Hard: Marriage, Ministry, and People22:30 – Doing Right When It’s Difficult25:30 – The Power of Planning and Preparation29:10 – God Is a Planner: Lessons from Joseph and David33:40 – Planning Changes Everything37:00 – Breaking Tribalism: Learning to Cooperate45:00 – Altar Call and Prayer of Courage to ConquerShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

Pastor Chris Rugnao delivers a powerful World Evangelism message titled “The Difference Vision Makes.”Preached Thursday night of the South Texas Bible Conference, this sermon confronts complacency, challenges personal agendas, and reignites the call to carry the vision of Jesus Christ to the nations.From the AI “Stargate” illustration to the widow at Zarephath, Pastor Rugnao reveals that vision is not optional—it is the line between life and death for the believer and the church. When we lose vision, we lose passion, generosity, and purpose. But when vision is restored, resources, revelation, and resurrection power flow again.📖 Text: Proverbs 29:18, 1 Kings 17, Nehemiah 2https://TakingTheLandPodcast.comSUBSCRIBE TO PREMIUM FOR MORE:• Subscribe for only $3/month on Supercast: https://taking-the-land.supercast.com/• Subscribe for only $3.99/month on Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taking-the-land/subscribe• Subscribe for only $4.99/month on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3vy1s5bChapters00:00 Introduction and Acknowledgments05:23 The Importance of Vision17:18 Symptoms of Lost Vision26:20 The Consequences of Losing Vision31:04 Overcoming Fear and Embracing Opportunity34:26 The Journey from Vision to Fulfillment38:53 Faith and the First Step of Sacrifice44:12 The Power of Vision in Ministry48:39 Resurrection Power and Its Impact51:23 The Call to Action and the HarvestShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

Luke 12:42–48. Pastor Roman Gutierrez preaches a direct call to Gen Z and young couples: God has entrusted you with the gospel, time, purity, resources, and influence. Steward them for souls. Refuse self-worship and materialism. Choose faithfulness, generosity, and mission. Send workers. Triple down on evangelism while hearts are open. “To whom much is given, much will be required.”

Joshua 3 calls Israel to follow the Ark at a distance—“mind the gap”—so they can see the way they must go. Pastor Harold Warner unpacks four takeaways: reverence for God’s holiness, surrender to His sovereignty, practical guidance for crowded seasons, and a balanced spirituality that stays humble and sane.Scriptures: Joshua 3:1–5; Ps 25:4–5; John 5:19; 2 Sam 6 (Uzzah); Ps 46:10; John 10:3–4; 2 Chr 20:12; Ps 32:8–9.https://TakingTheLandPodcast.comSUBSCRIBE TO PREMIUM FOR MORE:• Subscribe for only $3/month on Supercast: https://taking-the-land.supercast.com/• Subscribe for only $3.99/month on Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taking-the-land/subscribe• Subscribe for only $4.99/month on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3vy1s5bChapters00:00 A Journey of Transformation10:40 The Power of Giving and Obedience13:29 Mind the Gap: Following God's Presence34:18 Practicing the Presence of God45:07 Surrendering Our Timelines to God's Sovereignty48:30 Practical Guidance for the Journey52:38 Balanced Spirituality and the Gap01:00:31 Navigating the Untrodden Path01:05:47 God's Guidance and Our Willingness to FollowShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

Numbers 25 shows how Balaam couldn’t curse Israel from the outside, so he corrupted them from the inside. Phinehas’ zeal stopped a deadly plague and set a pattern: leaders must take a stand for purity, for fellowship, and for future generations. Pastor Richard Rubi applies this to modern church life—judging sexual immorality, guarding fellowship accountability, refusing discouragement, and building a legacy like Zadok, Ezra, and the Rechabites.Key texts: Num 25; Josh 22; Judg 20:18–28; Eph 6:10–14; Acts 5:27–29; Dan 3; Dan 6; Jer 35; 2 Kgs 20.https://TakingTheLandPodcast.comSUBSCRIBE TO PREMIUM FOR MORE:• Subscribe for only $3/month on Supercast: https://taking-the-land.supercast.com/• Subscribe for only $3.99/month on Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taking-the-land/subscribe• Subscribe for only $4.99/month on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3vy1s5bChapters00:00 The Call to Preach and Fundraising02:42 The Importance of Sacred Offerings05:45 Understanding Spiritual Supply Chains08:35 The Necessity of Generosity11:31 The Impact of Missed Opportunities14:36 Skin in the Game: The Importance of Investment17:39 Insider Trading in the Kingdom20:36 The Power of Generosity23:42 The Role of Prayer in Ministry24:23 Taking a Stand in Leadership27:08 The Battle Against Immorality30:17 The Importance of Bold Leadership33:00 Defending the Right Battlefield36:04 The Call to Conviction39:15 The Consequences of Compromise42:02 Lessons from History: Standing Firm46:32 Making a Stand for Purity50:34 The Importance of Fellowship57:24 Standing Up When Others Give Up01:01:39 Legacy and Future Generations01:12:28 The Cost of Compromise01:16:29 A Call to ActionShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!
