Immerse Yourself | We often find ourselves as Christians always speaking about the "move" that God is going to bring or the revival we are expecting. However, we must recognize that often the flow of God is already moving and in our midst. All we need to do is immerse in the flow of what He is doing. Naaman came to Elisha the prophet of God in need of a miracle and was directed to the Jordan river, God's chosen flow, to find his healing. If he would immerse himself in that flow healing was sure to come. Likewise, we as believers, need to immerse ourselves in what God is doing and will also experience a changed life. Through this message you will be challenged to go deeper and immerse yourself in His flow. | 4/22/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Two Empty Places / One Full Life | On Easter we celebrate the fact that the tomb of Jesus is empty. However, the cross is also an empty place in that there will never be another sacrifice by which mankind can be saved. This messaged combines the message of the cross with the message of the resurrection to remind us as believers of the fullness we have because what Christ did through both. Truly, those two empty places enable us to live a full life today. | 4/8/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Breathless Before The King | The Queen of Sheba came to King Solomon with hard questions and things upon her heart. He answered all her questions and she saw all of his splendor throughout his kingdom to which the Bible says: "her spirit left her". She was overwhelmed and breathless at his splendor. Jesus said in the gospels that "something greater than Solomon is here". Well, He is the one greater than Solomon and His splendor is greater than Solomon's. But when is the last time you have been breathless before the King? This message will encourage you to seek the King and HIs kingdom to the point of being breathless before the KIng. | 4/1/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Crossing Over To The Other Side | In this message we look at the familiar passage of Jesus walking on the water and ultimately calming the storm in the disciple's faces. The disciples were headed for a God-ordained destination on the other side of the sea when they were confronted with a "contrary" or "adversarial" wind in their face. The storm was opposing them from reaching their destination. However, it would be the visitation of God that would make all the difference for them. Likewise, we as believers have a God-ordained destination and we too have an adversary who doesn't want us to reach it. This message will encourage you to endure the storm knowing that God indeed will come to visit His people. | 3/13/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Religious Expectiations vs. Faith Expectations | Matthew 15 gives an picture of two different types of people who approached Jesus. The first was a group of pharisees who came to Jesus with religious expectations based upon their traditions. They wanted to Jesus to mold his disciples into their religious agenda which Jesus rebuked. The Bible then says that he left that place and went to two Gentile cities where he was approached by a Canaanite woman with a daughter who was demon possessed. It is a stark contrast to the approach of the religious group. Using this as a backdrop this message challenges us, as believers, to focus our attention not on our man-made agenda but rather upon Jesus as the center of our faith. it is a prophetic picture of the type of church that Jesus is looking for today. | 3/4/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

A Year Like No Other | After being slaves in Egypt for roughly 400 years the people of God were getting ready to enter the promised land led by Joshua.

Silence Is Shameful | Using Judges 19 as a backdrop this message was designed to challenge the body of PVAG to not be silent towards the on-going evil epidemic of human trafficking in the world today. The G90 Project is an initiative of PVAG to build a ministry center for young girls in danger of being forced into prostitution. Judges 19 is the tragic story of a Levite's concubine being abused to the point of death. However, the question was: "What would Israel do in the face of such wickedness?" Would they move to action or would they remain silent? Their silence would have been shameful. Our silence in the face of sexual slavery is equally shameful. | 9/18/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

I Am the Light of the Church | It's often easy to preach as message that centers on Jesus as the light of the world which He surely is. This message however, uses a religious man by the name of Nicodemus to remind us that Jesus is also the Light of the church. Nicodemus, a religious man, is told by Jesus that He is the Light that was sent into the world, but through three events, NIcodemus comes to see Him as the Light of the world. His journey is one that we all need to take. | 6/12/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Door That Is Jesus | Jesus declared Himself as I AM 7 times in the book of John. In one of the occasions He referred to Himself as the door that anyone can pass through.

Help from the Sanctuary | King David faced an enemy that opposed him and his people. If he was victorious, then the people of God would be victorious. The first 5 verses of Psalm 20 are words of the people of God in prayer on behalf of their king. In it they prayed that King David would receive help from the sanctuary. His victory would become their victory. Likewise, we too, have a King who went into battle and His victory became our victory. This message will remind you of the victory that was afforded to each believer because of the triumph of Christ on the cross and through the empty tomb. | 6/2/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Where's His Coming? | II Peter 3:4 says: "They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised?" Peter was talking about the question asked by scoffers and mockers concerning the second coming of Christ. The recent Harold Camping prediction has surely caused the return of Christ to be scrutinized by many. No doubt many who bought into his prediction are asking that question today. As well there are those who are mocking and scoffing at the notion. This message highlights Peter's word to believers on how they, as well as us today, handle the question and how they should live in waiting for God to fulfill His promise. | 5/22/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Seal on the Inside | They held a mock trial, condemned Him to death, crucified Him on a cross then buried Jesus in a tomb over which they attached the Roman Seal.

The Thing That Makes For Peace | Jesus wept as he overlooked the city because of it's lack of peace. As He did He spoke over it the one thing that would have brought peace to that city - accepting the time of His visitation. What a difference it would have made for the life of the city had they accepted HIm and recognized Him for exactly who He was. The same is true of our lives. Peace is a by-product of recognizing Him for who He really is - our Savior but not only that, Our King and Master.

Face The Wall | What would you do if you found out today that you had an illness that you weren't going to recover from? Hezekiah heard that report and the Bible tells us he turned and faced the wall. Facing the wall he saw only God in the midst of his trouble. He didn't look left, he didn't look right but rather he focused himself on God and cried out to Him. Like Hezekiah, we at times find ourselves in a desperate situation? This message will outline Hezekiah's way out but will give you way to overcome your situation. | 1/16/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Cost Of Christmas - Riches To Rags | Ask anyone and they will tell you that Christmas indeed does cost. We celebrate the season with the buying, giving, and receiving of gifts.

Celebrating God's Goodness | The popular phrase says: "God is good"! The popular response is: "All the time". While these two statements are true sometimes the world around us causes us to forget His goodness and at times even doubt it.

This message will not only help you recognize His goodness but celebrate His goodness. | 11/21/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Next Step For The First Step | Why do we as people and/or churches take steps of faith? Do we take these steps of faith for only ourselves or is there more to it? Scripture reveals countless stories of men and women who took steps of faith that became the catalyst for others taking their first step.

Beauty That Defines The House | There are many beautiful churches throughout the world. Yet, is the beauty of the church defined by its buildings or by the people who fill those buildings? Without the beauty of transformed lives and the presence of God, they are nothing more than elaborate houses full of pharisees. This message uses the story of the sinful woman anointing the feet of Jesus in a Pharisee's house as the basis of how beauty is truly defined in the church. | 9/5/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

However a dramatic encounter with God, where he experienced the grace of God, changed it all.

The Right Person at The Right Place at The Right Time | The famine in the land of Egypt caused the people of the land to run to Pharaoh for food to survive. Pharaoh, the government of the land, told the people to "go to Joseph and whatever he tells you to do, that you should do." The man of God had the answers to the problems facing the land and the ruling power of the land recognized it. Joseph was the right man at the right place at the right time. This message will challenge you to become just like Joseph, having answers for those in the land. More than that this message will challenge the church to be the right church, at the right place, at the right time. | 8/22/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

A Song in Exile | The people of Israel lived in Babylon yet their hearts were with their beloved city of Zion. Psalm 137 speaks of how they sat and wept by the rivers of Babylon when they thought of Jerusalem. In a sense we live in a spiritual Babylon with a citizenship in the heavenly Zion.

And, we have the ability to plan the type of harvest we wish to gather from.

Wholeness Beyond Cleansing | The Bible says that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from our sin to which we are grateful. Many Christians however, stop there.

Zion is a place where God invites all to meet with Him. Through this message you will be challenged in regards to which God you serve: the God of Mt. Sinai or the God of Mt. Zion. | 3/20/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Lion of God | Based upon Judges 3 this message gives insight into the how we got to the place of needing salvation and God's method of providing it but also, how to live in the complete blessings of it. Othniel, which means "God's Lion" was raised up by God to bring defeat to the enemy oppressing God's people. Yet, to live in complete freedom and rest they would live 40 years under his government. In the same way we, as Believers, live in the deliverance provided by The Lion of the Tribe of Judah. As we live under His authority and yield to His leadership we, like the people of God will walk in the total blessing of our deliverance. | 3/13/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
