In this message, Pastor Cory brings biblical clarity to what fasting actually is, why Scripture emphasizes fasting from food, and how it positions us to experience real spiritual breakthrough. Drawing from both the Old and New Testaments, this teaching shows that fasting is meant to get our attention, quiet our flesh, and tun...

At the beginning of every year, we focus on growth—and this message launches our Born to Build series by returning to one of the most essential foundations of the Christian life: the ministry of the Holy Spirit. From Jude 20, Acts 1–2, and the words of Jesus Himself, this teaching brings clarity to what it means to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and why praying in the Spirit is vital for every believer. The early church didn’t try to build on willpower, intellect, or tradition—they built the...
Gratitude isn’t just an emotion—it’s a spiritual gear that moves your faith forward. In this message, Pastor Cory teaches how thanksgiving shifts our perspective, strengthens our faith, and positions us to experience the goodness of #God in every season. The Bible shows us again and again that #gratitude changes the atmosphere. When we thank God in the middle of pressure, uncertainty, or waiting, we move out of frustration and into trust. Complaining keeps us stuck, but gratitude moves us fo...
God’s love is not seasonal or conditional—it is everlasting. In this powerful and deeply personal message, Charley Elliott unfolds the heart of the Father and reveals a truth many believers know about but have never fully experienced: God loves you the same way He loves Jesus. Drawing from Jeremiah 31, John 17, and the story of the prodigal son, this message paints a clear picture of a Father who draws His children home not with fear or pressure, but with lovingkindness. You’ll be reminded t...
Our words carry real power—and in this message, we’re diving straight into that truth. From Genesis to Jesus’ teaching in Mark 11, God shows us that spoken words create, they shape, and they move things. He spoke, and it was so… and because we’re made in His image, what we say matters more than we realize. This message calls us to guard our mouths, speak life, and align our confession with God’s Word. No more agreeing with the bad report. No more letting negativity or sarcasm train our heart...
There is a real spiritual battle in the world—but the enemy you face is a defeated one. In this message, Cory brings clarity to what Scripture actually teaches about demons, spiritual warfare, and the authority of the believer. Ephesians 6 reminds us that our fight isn’t against people but against spiritual forces that Christ has already stripped of power. Colossians 2:15 declares that Jesus publicly disarmed every principality and power, leaving the devil with only one tactic: deception. He...
God is calling His people to a higher level—and holiness is the path that gets us there. This message isn’t about rules or religious pressure; it’s a call from the Father’s heart for His sons and daughters to live set apart, empowered, and fully aligned with who He has already made us to be. Pastor Cory teaches straight from Scripture that holiness isn’t something we work toward—it’s something God has already placed inside of us through the new birth. We aren’t “just human” anymore. We’re ne...
Hearing the Word is powerful—but it’s the doing that brings the blessing. 👏 In this message from our Healing Series, Cory teaches from James 1:22 and Proverbs 4 on how to move beyond just hearing the promises of God to actually walking them out by faith. Too many believers stop at hearing the Word, but Jesus calls us to live it—to put action behind what we believe and see the results in our lives. You’ll learn: ✅ The difference between hearing and doing ✅ How to keep God’s Word in front of ...
Why didn’t it work? It’s a question many believers have asked after praying for healing or standing in faith and not seeing the results they expected. But what if the answer isn’t that God said “no”… but that we missed something vital in our understanding of faith? In this powerful message, Pastor Cory unpacks what the Word says about healing, faith, and unbelief — revealing that God’s will never changes, but our level of faith can. Through passages in Matthew 17, Matthew 14, and Mark 6, we ...
For generations, believers have misunderstood Paul’s thorn in the flesh—using it as a reason to doubt God’s willingness to heal. But what if we’ve been reading it wrong? In this eye-opening message, Cory unpacks the truth behind 2 Corinthians 12 and shows that Paul’s thorn wasn’t sickness at all—it was opposition from other people. Scripture makes it clear: the “thorn” was a messenger of Satan, not a disease from God. You’ll see how religion has twisted this passage to create doubt and conf...
We’re not waiting for God to do more—He’s waiting for us to believe bigger. 🙌 In this powerful message, Cory shares how faith connects us to the power of God. Healing isn’t something we have to beg for—it’s already available through Jesus! When we believe His Word, stand on His promises, and walk in the authority He’s given us, miracles happen. From the centurion’s unshakable faith to the woman with the issue of blood, this teaching reminds us that God is both willing and able to heal. All ...
God’s not a genie, and prayer isn’t pulling a spiritual slot machine 🎰—it’s the confident act of faith in a God who already declared His will that brings His promises to pass. In this powerful teaching, Cory reveals the truth about God’s healing power and the character of God revealed through Jesus. Every miracle, every healing, and every act of compassion Jesus performed was a direct revelation of the Father’s will—and He never turned anyone away. 🙌 From Scripture to real-life faith applic...
What if everything you’ve been told about sickness, pain, and God’s will isn’t the truth? In this message, Pastor Cory shows what Scripture says about God’s heart toward healing—and why Jesus never once turned anyone away who came to Him for help. Through the life of Jesus, we see a God who is willing, who is good, and who still heals today. This message will challenge what you’ve believed about suffering, awaken your faith, and remind you that God’s will for your life is wholeness—sp...
In Matthew 10:34-39, Jesus gives one of His most challenging teachings: “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.” What did He mean by this? Jesus reminds us that following Him requires ultimate loyalty, even above family, comfort, or our own desires. The call of Christ is costly—it divides light from darkness, truth from deception, and demands that we take up our cross daily. In this message, we’ll explore the radical words of Jesus, the ...
We live in a world riddled with propaganda and lies. But it is the church’s job to rise up, speak truth, and shine light in the darkness. Recently, we’ve seen a true martyr of faith—Charlie Kirk—slandered in attempts to discredit his impact for the Kingdom of God. In this message, we examine some of the lies being told, bring context and truth, and look at our calling as the church to burn the ships—to stand firm, uncompromising, and courageous in a world that desperately needs the light of ...
The life of Charlie Kirk challenges us to consider: what truly matters most in life? Charlie once said, “I want to be remembered for courage for my faith.” His example of bold conviction, unapologetic faith, and willingness to speak truth even in hostile spaces invites us to examine our own lives and walk with God. In this message, we reflect on Charlie’s courage & faith, how he stood by what he believed—no matter the cost—and what lessons we can draw today about faithfulness, integrity, ...
The book of Esther is one of the most powerful stories in the Bible about courage, faith, and God’s providence. Though God’s name is never directly mentioned, His hand is evident throughout the story—taking Esther where she was and instilling in her "for such a time as this." In this message, we’ll explore how Esther’s bravery and obedience led to the salvation of her people, and how her story challenges us to stand up to culture in our own lives. Whether you’re facing uncertainty, searching...
Joshua was a man of courage and faith. Unlike those around him, he didn’t see challenges as obstacles to fear, but as opportunities for God to display His power and faithfulness. Because of his obedience and trust, Joshua led the people of Israel into the Promised Land and witnessed the miraculous. In this Sunday sermon, we’ll explore Joshua’s bold example and discover how his story can encourage us to live with the same faith-filled courage today. When we trust God in the face of challenges...
The story of Elijah is filled with miracles, bold faith, and powerful encounters with God. In this message, we’ll explore several key moments from Elijah’s life and uncover how they still apply to us today. From God’s provision to miraculous victories, Elijah’s journey reminds us that God’s power is available to strengthen, guide, and transform us in our daily lives. Whether you’re seeking encouragement, looking to grow your faith, or wanting a deeper understanding of this Old Testament prop...
The story of Jonah is more than a tale about a prophet and a great fish—it’s a powerful reminder of God’s heart for the lost and His call for us to respond with obedience. In this message, we’ll uncover the deep truths in the book of Jonah: God’s patience toward those who need salvation, His desire for redemption, and the challenge for us to share His love—even with those we may think don’t deserve it. Whether you’re new to faith, exploring Christianity, or looking for fresh insight into thi...
