Fasting isn’t about religious pressure or extreme rules—it’s about intentionally setting time aside to hear from God, strengthen your spirit, and reset your priorities. 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 tune our hearts to what God wants to say and do in us. When done with the right heart, fasting breaks yokes, loosens burdens, and creates space for God’s power to work in deeper ways.

This message invites every believer to ask God meaningful questions during a fast: What have You called me to do? Give me the power to do it. Increase Your anointing in my life. Give me a heart for the advancement of Your kingdom.

If you’re starting a fast—or simply want to understand why fasting matters—this message will ground you in Scripture, strengthen your resolve, and help you step into the new year with purpose and power.

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 themselves up by receiving the Holy Spirit and praying in other tongues.

This message challenges common misunderstandings about the Holy Spirit and reminds us that He is not optional, secondary, or symbolic. He is God—alive, present, and actively empowering believers today. Praying in the Spirit strengthens your inner life, sharpens spiritual awareness, and releases God’s will in ways the natural mind cannot.

If you desire deeper faith, greater clarity, and real spiritual power to live out what God has called you to do, this message sets the foundation. There is more—and God invites every believer to receive it.

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 forward. It reminds our hearts of who God is and what He has already done.

This message challenges us to stop letting circumstances dictate our attitude and instead choose thanksgiving as a lifestyle. Gratitude keeps our hearts soft, our faith active, and our eyes fixed on God rather than the problem. When praise goes up, peace comes in—and faith follows close behind.

If you’re ready to shift gears spiritually and walk into the next season with joy, clarity, and confidence, this message will encourage you and strengthen your walk with God.

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 that there is nothing you can do to make God love you more—and nothing you can do to make Him love you less. His love was His idea, not yours.

Through Scripture and lived experience, this message breaks the lie that we are merely servants trying to earn God’s approval. We are sons and daughters. We are invited into relationship, friendship, and daily connection with a Father who knows exactly how to love us personally and perfectly.

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling distant from God, unworthy, or unsure of where you belong, this message is an invitation to come home—to the Father you’ve always needed, the love you were created for, and the identity Jesus secured for you at the cross.

Key Scriptures:
Jeremiah 31:3 • John 17:20–23 • Ephesians 3:17–19 • Luke 15

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 hearts away from faith. When we believe what God has said and speak it out, something begins moving immediately—whether we see it yet or not.

Your words are building your future. Let’s line them up with heaven. 🔥

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 can’t overpower believers—he can only lie to them.

This message reveals what it means to stand firm, resist the enemy, and enforce the victory Jesus already won. You’ll be reminded that when you were born again, you were transferred out of the kingdom of darkness and placed under the authority of Christ. You’re not at the mercy of the enemy; you carry the authority of the One who defeated him.

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 new creations, infused with the Spirit of God, called to live differently from the world around us.

In this message:
• The difference between being made holy and living holy
• What Paul taught the Corinthians about leaving their old life behind
• Why excuses like “I’m only human” or “we’re all just sinners” hold believers back
• How God’s grace isn’t permission—it’s power
• Why abstaining, fleeing, and building barriers are signs of spiritual maturity
• How holiness positions you for greater influence, effectiveness, and spiritual authority

📖 “Be holy, for I am holy.” — 1 Peter 1:16

We are living in the last days—days where both darkness and the glory of God are increasing. This is not the hour for compromise or casual Christianity. It’s the hour for a church that is awake, pure, bold, and fully committed to God.

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 your eyes and in your heart
✅ Why obedience unlocks healing and breakthrough
✅ How to build faith that holds on to what God has given you

Faith that only hears will eventually fade—but faith that acts will see miracles. When you take God at His Word and live like it’s true, healing, freedom, and blessing follow. 🙌

📖 “Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” — James 1:22
📖 “My son, give attention to my words… for they are life to those who find them and health to all their flesh.” — Proverbs 4:20–22

If you’ve ever wondered how to receive from God—or why faith sometimes doesn’t seem to work—this message will help you build a foundation that lasts.
