What if the thing that changes your life in 2026 isn’t a massive reset—but a few small, daily choices?
In this message, Pastor Souzy challenges us to rethink how real transformation happens. Using gaming metaphors like daily quests and weekly resets, this sermon introduces the idea of Divine Dailies—simple habits that, when practiced consistently, can lead to deeper faith, better health, stronger relationships, and real spiritual growth.
This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about showing up.
Logging in.
Doing the dailies.
Whether you’re a lifelong Christian or just spiritually curious, this message is practical, honest, and built for gamers navigating real life.
💬 Question for you:
What’s ONE daily habit you want to start (or restart) this year?

In this powerful message from the Beatitudes Series, Pastor Nfluence teaches from Matthew 5:9 —
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”Using gaming analogies like Keyblades, crafting, loot drops, and MMORPGs, Pastor Nfluence shows us that peace isn’t something we stumble upon — it’s something we craft, wield, and practice. Just like a powerful weapon in a game, peace must be trained, refined, and used in real battles — especially when dealing with conflict, trolls, and difficult people.
This message challenges us to:
When we live as peacemakers, people don’t just hear about God — they see Him through us.
What if Christmas wasn’t just a holiday… but the greatest expansion of all time?
In this powerful Christmas message, Pastor Souzy uses gaming, MMORPGs, and expansions to reveal the incredible truth of the birth of Jesus. Just like a developer stepping into their own game, God stepped into humanity through Christ — not to start over, but to redeem, restore, and save the world from the inside.
This message explores how:
Whether you’re a gamer, a skeptic, or a longtime believer, this sermon will help you see Christmas in a whole new way — not as tradition, but as transformation.
📖 Key Scriptures: Isaiah 7:14, Luke 2:4–7
🎮 Theme: Jesus as the Divine Developer who became a Player
🎄 Season: Christmas
In this message from the Beatitudes Series, Pastor Souzy teaches from Matthew 5:8, where Jesus says:
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.”In a world filled with distraction, compromise, and spiritual noise, Jesus calls His followers to something deeper — a pure heart. This sermon unpacks what purity of heart really means, why it matters in our walk with Christ, and how believers can live faithfully in a dark and broken world without losing their spiritual clarity.
You’ll discover:
This message will challenge, encourage, and equip you to live with integrity, focus, and devotion to Jesus — even when the culture pulls in the opposite direction.

Mercy isn’t a feeling — it’s a choice.
In this message, AJ Valdez continues The Life & Lore of Jesus series by unpacking one of the Beatitudes that hits hard in both faith and gaming culture: “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.”
Using real-life stories and game metaphors from World of Warcraft and Guild Wars 2, AJ shows how mercy looks like:
Pausing instead of pushing through
Forgiving when it hurts
Carrying others because you’ve been carried
Choosing compassion over toxicity
Whether you’re grinding IRL, stuck in bitterness, or wondering how faith actually plays out day-to-day, this message reframes mercy as the key to a Kingdom heart.

In this powerful message from the Journey Through Matthew series, Pastor Souzy teaches on one of the most challenging and beautiful Beatitudes:
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” — Matthew 5:8Jesus isn’t after surface-level faith or behavior modification — He goes straight to the heart, because the heart determines our desires, decisions, and direction.
In “The HEART of the Kingdom,” Pastor Souzy breaks down what purity of heart truly means, how the enemy fights for influence over our inner world, and why Jesus calls us to a single-minded devotion to Him.
If you’ve been feeling distracted, divided, or spiritually unfocused, this message will help you realign your heart with the Kingdom of God — where clarity, peace, and purpose begin.
📖 Scripture: Matthew 5:8
🎯 Themes: Purity of heart, inner transformation, Kingdom character, focus & devotion
🙏 Series: Journey Through Matthew
In this message from the Journey Through Matthew series, Beez the Chaplain teaches through one of the most transformational verses in the Beatitudes:
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” — Matthew 5:6We live in a world full of options, distractions, pursuits, and substitutes—yet none of them fully satisfy. Using a creative Elden Ring / RPG-style analogy, Beez breaks down how many of us are walking through life with an empty spiritual inventory, trying to fight battles we’re not equipped for.
But Jesus invites us to stop striving, stop earning, and stop settling for spiritual junk food — and instead hunger for Him, because only He can truly satisfy the deep hunger in our soul.
If you've ever felt spiritually empty, burned out, or like you're grinding through life with no breakthrough — this message will help you reset, rest, and refill your spiritual inventory with what actually matters.
📍 Scripture: Matthew 5:6 | Matthew 9:1–8 | John 16:33 | 1 Corinthians 10:13
🎯 Theme: Hunger for righteousness, grace over self-effort, spiritual satisfaction

In this message, Pastor AJ Valdez continues the Journey Through Matthew series and explores one of the most misunderstood qualities in the Christian faith: meekness. Using a Kingdom Hearts–inspired illustration, Pastor AJ explains that meekness isn't weakness — it's strength under control. The world tells us to power up, fight back, defend ourselves, and chase recognition. But Jesus teaches that true strength comes through humility, surrender, and allowing God to lead. If you've ever struggled with pride, control, anger, or feeling the need to prove yourself, this message will challenge and encourage you.
🔥 Scripture: Matthew 5:5
💬 Key Thought: Meekness unlocks blessing, influence, and inheritance in the Kingdom of God.
In this heartfelt message from the Journey Through Matthew series, Pastor Nfluence continues through the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:4 — “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” Titled “Does the Brokenness Have a Key to Your Heart,” this sermon explores how God uses pain, loss, and even spiritual brokenness to unlock deeper relationship and dependence on Him. Drawing connections to stories like Jeremiah’s lament, Isaiah’s prophecy, and Peter’s redemption, Pastor Nfluence shows that our mourning is not wasted — it’s the very place where God meets us with comfort and healing. If you’ve ever felt distant, hurt, or wondered why God allows pain, this message will remind you that your brokenness can become the very key to your heart’s healing. 📖 Scripture: Matthew 5:4 | Lamentations 3:21–24 | Isaiah 42:1–4 | Luke 22:54–62 | John 21:15–19 🎯 Themes: Mourning, Comfort, Healing, Repentance, Hope 🙏 Series: Journey Through Matthew
In this message, Pastor AJ Valdez kicks off a brand-new series — Journey Through Matthew — with a sermon titled “Kingdom Hearts and the War Inside.” Diving into Matthew 5:3, Pastor AJ unpacks Jesus’ words: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Just like in the game Kingdom Hearts, the battle isn’t only out there — it’s happening within. Our hearts are the true battleground where pride, humility, and surrender collide. Through powerful analogies, biblical truth, and real-life application, Pastor AJ challenges us to lay down our pride, embrace humility, and let God reign within. Because the kingdom doesn’t come to the proud — it comes to the humble.
📖 Scripture: Matthew 5:3
🎮 Theme: Humility, Inner Conflict, The Kingdom Within, Spiritual Growth
🙏 Series: Journey Through Matthew
In this powerful message, Pastor Nfluence continues our Life & Lore of Jesus Series by diving into Matthew 5:1–12, also known as The Beatitudes — one of the greatest sermons ever told.
Jesus opens the Sermon on the Mount by redefining what it means to be blessed. In a world that celebrates power, wealth, and status, Jesus declares that true blessing belongs to the humble, the merciful, the pure in heart, and the peacemakers.
Through clear teaching and modern-day examples, Pastor Nfluence helps us see how this sermon still transforms hearts and shapes the way we live today.
📖 Key Scripture: Matthew 5:1–12

In this powerful message, Pastor AJ Valdez continues the Matthew Series with a sermon called “Jesus’ Raid Team – Will You Join?”
Drawing from Matthew 4 and Luke 5, Pastor AJ compares Jesus’ call to the disciples with the familiar raid invite gamers know so well. Just as fishermen were called to become fishers of men, we too are invited to join God’s ultimate team — to use our gifts, step out from the shore, and build His kingdom together. 💬 Whether you’re a gamer, streamer, or believer looking to go deeper, this message will challenge you to hit ACCEPT on God’s invite and follow Him fully. 📖 Key Scriptures: Matthew 4:18–22 | Luke 5:1–11 | John 1:35–42

In this sermon, Pastor AJ Valdez continues the Life & Lore of Jesus Series with a powerful word from Matthew 4:12–17. When John the Baptist was imprisoned, Jesus began His public ministry by proclaiming: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” This message reminds us that even in the darkest of times, Jesus is the light that breaks through the shadows. If you feel surrounded by darkness, take courage—Jesus is the great light that still breaks the darkness today. 📖 Scripture: Matthew 4:12–17 🎯 Themes: Hope in darkness, repentance, prophecy fulfilled, the kingdom of God.
The world feels like it’s spiraling—but what do you do with that?
In this message, Pastor Souzy speaks directly to the chaos we’re seeing in the world—from violent headlines to deep cultural division—and what it actually means for people trying to follow Jesus today.
If you’ve been overwhelmed, distracted, or tempted to escape into your games just to avoid it all… you’re not alone. But there’s a better way to process the pain and confusion around us.
This isn’t a message about panic—it’s a call to clarity, courage, and real hope in dark times.

Pastor Nfluence continues our Life & Lore of Jesus Series with a powerful message from Matthew 4:1–11 titled “Jesus Was Tempted.”
In this sermon, we see how Jesus faced temptation in the wilderness and overcame the enemy with the Word of God. Pastor Nfluence draws a unique comparison to the story of Arthas from World of Warcraft, showing how one man gave in to darkness while Jesus stood firm in truth.
This message challenges us to trust God’s plan, lean on His Word, and resist the temptation to take matters into our own hands. Just as Jesus defeated the enemy in the wilderness, we too can overcome when we depend on God.
📖 Scripture: Matthew 4:1–11
🎯 Key Themes: Temptation, Trust, Dependence on God, Spiritual Warfare
🎮 Bonus: Lessons from Arthas & WoW woven into the message!

Pastor Beezoosh continues our Life & Lore of Jesus Series in Matthew 3:7–12, where John the Baptist confronts the religious elite and calls God’s people to real repentance. This message contrasts tradition vs. truth, unpacks the refiner’s fire and winnowing imagery, and challenges us to carry the gospel into the digital wilderness—where outcasts meet Jesus and lives are transformed.
📖 Scripture: Matthew 3:7–12
🎯 Themes: Tradition vs Truth, Repentance, Transformation, Digital Mission
🙌 Response: Don’t settle for ritual—pursue a changed heart.
