Follow the Spirit — Tony Lively
2d ago00:39:30Tap to summarizeIn a world filled with endless opinions, distractions, and noise, it can be difficult to recognize the voice of God. This message explores what it truly means to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and why spiritual maturity is measured not by what we know, but by our willingness to obey God's direction.

Thirst
1w ago00:37:53Tap to summarizeWhat are you really thirsty for? In this message, we confront the reality that every person was created with a spiritual thirst that only Jesus can satisfy. Drawing from The Gospel of John 6:35, we explore Christ’s declaration: “I am the bread of life.” No matter how much we chase success, relationships, entertainment, or validation, nothing can truly fill the emptiness in our souls apart from Him. Using the imagery of “broken cisterns” from Book of Jeremiah 2:13, this sermon reveals how easy it is to trade the living water of God for things that constantly leave us spiritually dry. Many people are trying to survive spiritually on one drink a week instead of daily communion with Christ. In this message, we discuss: · Spiritual dehydration · Why the world never fully satisfies · Jesus as the source of living water · How believers can overflow into the lives of others Main Scriptures: John 6:35 & John 7:37–38 If you’ve been feeling empty, exhausted, or spiritually thirsty, this message will encourage you to come back to the only source that truly satisfies.

Pick It Up
2w ago00:43:42Tap to summarizeThis powerful message centers on a critical question for our generation: Are we willing to pick up the mantle God has laid before us? Drawing from 2 Kings chapter 2, we encounter the dramatic transition between the prophet Elijah and his devoted follower Elisha. When Elijah was taken up to heaven in a whirlwind, his mantle fell to the ground, and Elisha had a choice to make. He could mourn what was lost, or he could pick up what God had provided. Elisha chose to pick up the mantle, and with it came a double portion of the anointing that had rested on Elijah. The profound truth here is that God is not asking us to survive on yesterday's anointing or someone else's faith. He is calling us to a fresh, powerful encounter with His Spirit that equips us for the unique challenges of our time. The symbolism of the mantle represents God's calling, His anointing, and His purpose for our lives. But here's the catch: we cannot pick up what God has for us if our hands are already full of other things. Some of us are carrying burdens, cares, and plans that we were never meant to carry. Before we can embrace God's plan, we must be willing to lay down our own. This is not just a message for young people, though revival is powerfully moving through this generation. It is a call to everyone, regardless of age, to step into the fullness of what God has prepared. The question echoes through our hearts: Will we pick it up?

Occupy The Territory
3w ago00:42:41Tap to summarizeThis powerful message challenges us to move beyond mere survival mode in our Christian walk and step into the authority Christ has already given us. Drawing from Luke 10:19, we're reminded that Jesus has granted us authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy. The central question becomes: are we exercising this God-given authority, or are we cowering under the attacks of satan?

Occupy My Spirit
May 400:33:46Tap to summarizeThis powerful message challenges us to examine what truly fills our spiritual cups. Drawing from Ephesians 5:18, we're reminded that God commands us not to be intoxicated by the things of this world, but to be continuously filled with the Holy Spirit. The sermon uses the profound imagery of vessels and liquids to illustrate a spiritual truth: we cannot hold two opposing forces simultaneously. Just as one liquid displaces another in a container, worldly influences will push out godly things in our lives, and vice versa. The message explores four critical areas where the Holy Spirit must occupy our spiritual being: recognizing that emptiness invites occupation, understanding that the Spirit must continually fill us, experiencing how the Holy Spirit empowers victory over sin, and discovering that a full spirit overflows into every area of our lives. The analogy of the daily manna in the wilderness becomes particularly striking—just as the Israelites needed fresh bread from heaven each morning, we need a fresh infilling of God's Spirit daily. Yesterday's spiritual experience cannot sustain today's challenges. This teaching confronts our modern culture's intoxicating influences—materialism, social media validation, and endless distractions—and calls us to stand out rather than blend in, to be vessels overflowing with living water that impacts everyone we encounter.

Occupy My Body
Apr 2900:41:05Tap to summarizeWhat does it truly mean to honor God with your body? In this powerful message, we explore how our physical lives are deeply connected to our spiritual authority and walk with God. Rooted in 1 Corinthians 6:19–20, this sermon reminds us that our bodies are not our own—they are temples of the Holy Spirit, purchased at a price, and meant to glorify God. As believers, we face a constant battle between the flesh and the Spirit. But through discipline, surrender, and obedience, we can live lives that reflect God’s power and purpose.

Occupy My Thoughts
Apr 2000:40:28Tap to summarizeWhat if the biggest battle you’re facing isn’t around you but within you? This powerful message kicks off a new series on reclaiming the areas of life the enemy has tried to invades. Too often, we try to live for God while allowing our thoughts to be filled with fear, doubt, and negativity. But real victory begins when Christ doesn’t just visit your thoughts… He occupies them. Drawing from Scripture, this sermon exposes the enemy’s primary strategy, deception and equips you with practical, biblical tools to take back control of your thought life. You’ll learn how to recognize the source of your thoughts, confront lies with truth, and renew your mind through God’s Word. If you’ve been battling anxiety, negative thinking, or mental exhaustion, this message will challenge and empower you to fight back and win.

Almost Is Not Enough
Apr 1400:32:52Tap to summarizeThis powerful message confronts us with an uncomfortable truth: partial obedience is still disobedience in God's eyes. Drawing from Revelation 3:15-16, we're challenged to examine whether we've become lukewarm Christians—neither hot nor cold, but somewhere in the uncomfortable middle. The sermon walks us through King Saul's story in 1 Samuel, where he almost obeyed God's command but kept back some of what should have been destroyed. God's response was clear: to obey is better than sacrifice. This isn't about legalism or perfectionism; it's about wholehearted devotion. We're reminded that God doesn't want edited obedience or selective commitment. He's not looking for us to fit Him into our schedules—He wants to be the center around which our lives revolve. The paradox of the kingdom becomes clear: when we try to save our lives by maintaining control, we lose them, but when we surrender completely, we find true life. This message calls us out of the comfort zone of 'almost Christianity' and into the transformative power of full surrender, where real peace, purpose, and revival are found.

The First Punch - Easter
Apr 600:36:52Tap to summarizeWhat happens when the enemy throws the first punch? In this message, “The First Punch,” we walk through the story of humanity — from the moment sin entered the world in the Garden to the ultimate victory won through Jesus Christ. The enemy may have struck first, but he didn’t win. From Adam’s failure to Christ’s triumph, this sermon reveals a powerful truth, the devil picked the wrong fight when he came against Jesus. No matter what you’re facing—temptation, discouragement, or spiritual battles—you don’t have to stay on the defensive. Through Christ, victory is already yours. Throw "The First Punch." for you and your family!

From Hosanna to Crucify
Mar 3000:35:45Tap to summarize“Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” — Luke 19:38 How does a crowd go from shouting “Hosanna!” to crying out “Crucify Him!” in just a matter of days? In this powerful message, we walk through the tension of Palm Sunday and uncover a sobering truth: it’s possible to praise Jesus emotionally, follow Him conditionally, and still completely miss who He truly is. In this sermon, we explore: 1. The danger of emotional, surface-level praise that lacks deep roots (Matthew 21:8–9; Matthew 13:20–21) 2. How misunderstanding Jesus’ mission leads to misplaced worship (John 12:13; John 6:15) 3. The reality of conditional faith that fades under pressure (Luke 23:21; Mark 14:50) 4. Why following Jesus must be about who He is, not just what He does for us (John 12:16; John 6:68) As we head toward Easter, this sermon invites you to move beyond shallow faith and into a deeper, lasting relationship with Christ.
