In this motivating and spiritually-charged sermon, Minister Gary Woodson encourages believers to “Stay in Motion”—spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Anchored in Romans 12:4-5, the message reminds us that we are all members of one body in Christ, each with a unique role and purpose. When one part moves, the rest are impacted. God has gifted us with the ability to manage our emotions, especially when it comes to how others influence us. The key? Staying grounded and moving forward in God.

Minister Woodson illustrates the message using the example of a rowing team—eight rowers guided by a coxswain. In our spiritual walk, the Holy Ghost is our Coxswain, setting the pace and giving direction. But Jesus is the Captain of the boat—our lives. When we let God lead, we move in sync with His purpose. God is in control—trust Him.

2 Peter 1:5-8 outlines eight spiritual qualities that help us stay spiritually productive:

• Faith
• Goodness
• Knowledge
• Self-control
• Perseverance
• Godliness
• Mutual affection
• Love

These virtues aren’t just suggestions—they are spiritual tools that keep us effective and fruitful in the knowledge of Christ. When we cultivate these, we remain spiritually in motion.

Key Takeaways for Listeners:

• Trust what God has placed in you. He has equipped you to control your attitude and reactions.
• Stay means remain. In means present. Stay present in God’s will.
• Let the Holy Ghost guide you, and let Jesus lead. He knows where the boat of your life needs to go.
• Surround yourself with winners. Build a team that’s spiritually effective, productive, and aligned with God’s direction.
• Don’t lose your momentum. Even in resistance, keep rowing—keep believing.
• Listen to God. When you do, you will not fall.
• Every time we row, we row in victory.
• Stand tall even if you must stand alone.
• Declare over your life: “Not today or tomorrow, Satan!”

Closing Encouragement:
Minister Woodson reminds us that momentum is spiritual. Once you're in motion in Christ, don’t let anything slow you down. Victory is already declared for those who stay the course, follow the Spirit, and keep their eyes fixed forward. No matter the storm, no matter the opposition—stay in motion and trust the One who leads your boat.

What if Father’s Day was more than just a moment of celebration—what if it was a Divine Demonstration? This year’s message isn’t just about biology—it’s about identity, legacy, and unity. Fatherhood is more than a title; it’s a transfer of purpose. Through a powerful visual illustration, a father and son walk in step—same motion, same pause—revealing that Jesus and His Father were not just connected, they were one.

Jesus didn’t just represent His Father—He revealed Him. And just like Christ stepped through the frame of flesh and into His purpose, we too are called to step into the image and intention of our Heavenly Father.

I. The Wrestle with Release

John 1:14, Genesis 32:24-30

Before legacy can be fulfilled, there’s a wrestle that must be faced.

• Jacob’s Wrestle: God meets Jacob alone, not to destroy him but to develop him. The encounter leads to a transformation—Jacob becomes Israel.
• The Father Speaks: “I didn’t come to overpower Jacob, I came to prepare him. I taught Myself how to restrain My divinity long enough to touch humanity—and in doing so, I taught My Son how to walk with compassion and strength.”

Lesson: God doesn’t wrestle us to weaken us—He wrestles us into purpose.

Son’s Wrestle: The Garden of Gethsemane

Luke 22:42 – “Not my will, but Thine be done.”

Jesus didn’t wrestle demons here—He wrestled His own will.

• The Son reflects: “I saw My Father with Jacob and learned how to touch without tearing, how to surrender without losing.”
• Though divine, Jesus embraced the agony of obedience. He learned from the Father how to restrain power to fulfill purpose.

Key Reflection: Every son will have a Gethsemane moment, where surrender shapes destiny.

Conclusion: The Return and the Reunion

After the Cross came the tomb. After the tomb came the cloud—the ascension.

• The Son declares: “I’m not wounded anymore. I’m a witness—the mission worked.”
• The Father responds: “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.” No longer a prodigal son, but a prophetic one.
• Together, Father and Son model not only reunion but revelation. What we see in Jesus is not only God’s power but His pattern—how to walk, wrestle, and win.

Final Declaration (Read Together):

“So on this Father’s Day, remember this:
Every son carries a glimpse of his father’s glory, and every father, when he looks at his son, should see his legacy alive.
Just like Jesus, we were born to reflect, to wrestle, and to return.”

Key Takeaways for Listeners:

• Fatherhood is more than shared DNA—it’s shared destiny.
• Sons don’t just mirror their fathers—they manifest their mission.
• God wrestles not to punish but to position us for purpose.
• Your identity is secure when your unity with the Father is clear.

I. From Ordinary to Extraordinary

Acts 2:14; Acts 4:13 (ESV)

• The Holy Ghost transformed ordinary people—fishermen, tax collectors, doubters—into bold, powerful vessels of God.
• Peter, once fearful, now preached with fire. These were not trained scholars—they were people who had been with Jesus.
  Reflection: When God fills you, He doesn’t check your résumé. He checks your availability.

II. Five Kinds of Power Released at Pentecost

1. Power to Be Bold Witnesses

Acts 1:8; John 20:19

• Before Pentecost: fear and hiding.
• After Pentecost: boldness in the streets.
  The Holy Ghost emboldens you to speak truth without fear.

2. Power to Speak with Divine Authority

Acts 2:4,6

• Speaking in tongues wasn’t just noise—it was understood in every language present.
  A supernatural gift for communicating the Gospel clearly and powerfully.

3. Power to Transform Lives

Acts 2:37-38

• Peter’s message pricked hearts—3,000 repented and were baptized.
  Real Holy Ghost power leads to transformation, not just celebration.

4. Power to Unite Believers

Acts 2:1; Acts 2:44 (ESV)

• Pentecost created spiritual unity—“one accord in one place.”
  True revival starts with oneness of heart, mind, and purpose.

5. Power to Operate in Signs and Wonders

Acts 2:43

• The early church didn’t just talk the Kingdom—they demonstrated it.
  Healings, deliverance, and miracles followed Spirit-filled believers.

Reflection Questions:

• What are you doing with the power you’ve received?
• Are you hiding it or walking in it?
• Is your Pentecost power only seen in services, or is it changing lives around you?
  The Holy Ghost didn’t come to make you dance—He came to make you witness.

Conclusion: From Fisherman to Fireman
Peter wasn’t just reformed—he was ignited. Pentecost turned him from a fisherman into a “fireman,” not the kind who puts out flames, but the kind who starts them. He preached the Gospel with boldness, became a key leader in the early church, and operated in the full force of the Holy Spirit.

Final Thought:
You didn’t just receive a moment—you received movement. The same fire that fell at Pentecost still burns today. You have power—use it. Don’t just carry it, release it.

In this powerful message rooted in Esther 4:10–14, we explore God's unwavering commitment to His purpose—even when we hesitate. The story of Queen Esther isn’t just about royal access or dramatic decisions; it’s about divine timing, spiritual courage, and the assurance that when God is determined to rescue His people, He will always find a way.

Esther faced a deadly choice—approach the king without being summoned and risk her life, or remain silent and allow destruction to unfold. Her uncle Mordecai reminded her: “If you remain silent at this time, deliverance…will arise from another place.” This key verse reveals an eternal truth: God’s purpose doesn’t pause when we hesitate. If we don’t move, He’ll move around us.

This sermon invites listeners to reflect on moments of fear, hesitation, and uncertainty, and see how God can still work through (or around) us. You’ll be encouraged to align with God's purpose, find courage in His calling, and walk boldly in your true identity.

Listener Notes:

Key Takeaway:

Esther 4:15–16
Esther responds with spiritual strategy—not emotion. She calls for a 3-day fast.

• Fasting separated her fear from her flesh.
• She didn’t go to the king until she first went to God.
• There’s a divine pattern:
  • Jonah delivered after 3 days (Jonah 1:7)
  • Jesus resurrected on the 3rd day (Luke 24:7)

Reflection: Before breakthrough comes preparation. Don’t face the battle without first entering God’s presence.

II. The Approach and the Appeal

Esther walks into the king’s court without invitation—a potential death sentence.

• Her confidence wasn’t in her position—it was in her purpose.
• Mordecai reminded her: Maybe this is exactly why you’re here—for such a time as this.
• Purpose gives you boldness when outcomes are uncertain.

Reflection: Sometimes we step into the unknown with nothing but faith. But God’s favor meets us there.

III. Revealed Identity – A Reverse Strategy

Esther’s final move? She reveals who she truly is.

• Her courage exposed Haman’s plot.
• Victory came when she stopped hiding.

Conclusion:

• God won’t anoint the version of you that hides behind fear or image.
• The enemy loses power when you stop hiding.
• Your breakthrough starts with authenticity.

Final Encouragement:
Esther fasted, approached, and revealed. Because she aligned with God's purpose, a nation was saved.

If she had refused, God would have still found a way.

So will He in your life.

Challenge for the Week:
Are you hesitating on something God has asked you to do? Reflect, fast, and boldly move forward—knowing He’s already made a way.

Scripture Focus: 2 Timothy 1:9 (NLT)
“For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was His plan from before the beginning of time—to show us His grace through Christ Jesus.”

Episode Overview:
You were never an accident. God didn’t just save you to keep you safe—He saved you to position you for purpose. In this episode, we unpack the powerful truth that your identity in Christ isn’t random—it’s intentional. Before time began, God had a specific plan for your life. Your calling is holy, your life is on purpose, and your future is in His hands.

Main Points + Listener Notes:

1. You Were Chosen On Purpose

Jeremiah 1:5 – “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.”

• God picked you with full knowledge of your flaws and fears.
• You are not a mistake—you are royalty with a reason.
• Instead of comparison, focus on preparation.

Youth Thought:
Stop comparing yourself. Start preparing yourself.

2. You’re Not Just Saved From Something—You’re Saved For Something

Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are God’s masterpiece...created to do good works He planned long ago.”

• God rescued you not just to escape sin, but to embrace a mission.
• Your story, voice, and gifts all fit into His bigger plan.
• You are here not just to survive, but to transform lives.

Youth Challenge:
Ask God, “What am I here to build—not just escape?”

3. Find God’s Mission Before You Chase Your Own Ambition

Matthew 6:33 – “Seek first the Kingdom of God…and all these things will be added to you.”

• Don’t chase success without first seeking significance.
• True greatness isn’t about being known—it’s about being used by God.
• When your goals align with God’s mission, peace and purpose will follow.

Youth Decision:
Don’t just chase dreams—chase God. Watch your real dream unfold.

Case Study: Jeremiah – A Life Called By God
Jeremiah 1:4-7 (NLT)

• Jeremiah didn’t feel qualified—too young, too unsure.
• God’s call silenced his excuses.
• He wasn’t chosen for comfort but for calling—his voice spoke truth to kings and nations.
• Jeremiah didn’t chase fame—he fulfilled faithfulness. And that’s what God calls greatness.

Youth Reflection Point:
You may not feel ready or know the full plan.
But like Jeremiah—God already knows who you are, what you’re made to do, and where you’re meant to go.
You were chosen. You were called. And God’s voice is louder than your doubts.

Final Takeaway:
You’re not too young to be called.
You’re not too broken to be used.
You were called with a holy calling.

Don’t just ask:

That’s where you’ll find your place.

In this moving sermon titled "Your Sacrifice Is Worth It," Minister Jermaine Fuller takes us deep into the heart of surrender, obedience, and divine purpose through the lens of Genesis 22:1-10 and Matthew 22:37. God’s command to Abraham to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac wasn't just a test of obedience—it was a test of total trust. Abraham’s willingness to give up what he cherished most showed us what it truly means to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind.

Referencing Jesus’ words in Matthew 22:37, Minister Fuller reminds us that God doesn’t want partial devotion—He wants our whole hearts in their entirety. It is in the place of full surrender that we make room for divine elevation. Sacrifice isn't easy; it’s painful, it’s costly, and at times it may break you. But as Minister Fuller powerfully states, “It broke me, but it blessed me.” Your sacrifice isn’t in vain—it is the gateway to blessing, breakthrough, and a deeper relationship with God.

This message challenges us to examine what we’ve been holding back and encourages us to trust God enough to place it on the altar. When you give your all to God, He’ll release all that He has for you. Don't miss this life-changing word that will stir your faith, ignite your devotion, and remind you that after your sacrifice… you’ll be back—stronger, elevated, and more blessed than before.

In this heartfelt Mother’s Day sermon, we reflect on the powerful connection between a mother’s love and the love of God, as expressed in John 3:16. Just as God’s love is defined by action—He gave—so too is a mother’s love demonstrated through sacrifice, wisdom, comfort, and enduring faith. A mother echoes God's heart in the way she gives herself tirelessly, not just biologically, but spiritually, emotionally, and prayerfully.

Using the acrostic "MOTHER," this message explores six love lessons that mothers teach us, reminding us that their everyday acts of care and faith are living sermons pointing us back to the heart of the gospel.

Sermon Points & Listener Notes:

M – Mother’s Minister
Scripture: Proverbs 31:26 (ESV)
A mother is often a child's first preacher. Through correction, encouragement, prayer, and song, she plants spiritual seeds. She ministers wisdom and kindness, showing up in both hard times and holy moments—just like God does for His children.

Key takeaway: A real mother shows up, and in doing so, she models God's consistent and present love.

O – Offers Sacrifices
Scripture: John 15:13 (KJV)
There is no love greater than laying down one’s life for another—and mothers do this daily. From sleepless nights to silent sacrifices, mothers constantly put their children’s needs before their own.

Key takeaway: A mother’s sacrifices may be quiet, but they are never small. She reflects the selfless nature of divine love.

T – Teaches the Truth
Scripture: Proverbs 22:6
Mothers are foundational teachers of prayer, forgiveness, and faith. They instill godly values that shape a child’s spiritual identity and prepare them for life’s trials.

Key takeaway: A mother teaches her children to walk by faith, not by fear.

H – Healer of Hearts
Scripture: Isaiah 66:13 (ESV)
A mother offers comfort like no other. She’s a safe place to cry, share, and be held. Her gentle touch and understanding spirit can calm life’s fiercest storms.

Key takeaway: Just like God, a mother comforts and heals, making broken hearts whole.

E – Example of Endurance
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:7 (ESV)
Mothers carry an unmatched strength. Through trials, heartbreak, and silence, they bear, believe, hope, and endure. Their love doesn’t give up—because it’s rooted in God’s strength.

Key takeaway: A mother’s endurance teaches us to press on in faith, trusting God through every season.

R – Reflects God’s Love
Scripture: 1 John 4:19 (NLT)
A mother’s love says, “No matter what, you’re still mine.” It’s unconditional, relentless, and gracious. It mirrors the very love God offers us through Christ.

Key takeaway: A mother’s love is often our first glimpse of God's redeeming and relentless love.

Conclusion:
As we celebrate Mother’s Day, we honor the love lessons of mothers—those who minister with wisdom, offer daily sacrifices, teach eternal truths, heal hearts, endure with faith, and reflect God’s unconditional love. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is the perfect example: she said “yes” to God, nurtured the Savior, stood by Him at the cross, and rejoiced in the resurrection. Her story is one of bold faith and selfless love.

To every mother, grandmother, spiritual mother, and woman who has ever loved sacrificially and prayed faithfully—you embody God's love in action. Thank you.

And for anyone who has never known a mother’s love, know this: God’s love is still available to you today. The greatest lesson a mother teaches is to say “Yes” to God.

In this powerful sermon, Elder Allen Plumber delivers a stirring message titled "Just Enough is Not Enough," encouraging believers to live with a faith that is full, sustainable, and ready to meet the demands of the times.

Drawing from Matthew 25:8-9 and the broader context of Matthew 25:1-15, Elder Plumber challenges listeners to examine the state of their spiritual lives. Using the parable of the wise and foolish virgins, he reminds us that being "half full" or even "half empty" simply isn't enough when it comes to living a life pleasing to God. Our spiritual reserves must be overflowing — not just for ourselves, but so we can support others when they are in need.

Key questions for reflection include:

• When was the last time you told someone, they needed to be saved?
• Can someone truly count on you for prayer and spiritual support?
• How bright is your light shining in a world that desperately needs hope?

Elder Plumber emphasizes that it’s not enough to "have just enough" — we must pursue a deeper, lasting relationship with God that can sustain us through trials and empower us to pour into others.

Follow Along with These Notes:

• Scripture References: Matthew 25:8-9, Matthew 25:1-15
• Self-Reflection:
  • Are you spiritually half empty or half full?
  • Either way, it's not enough — seek to be completely full.
• Action Points:
  • Commit to telling others about salvation through Jesus. We can't share our oil, but we can preach.
  • Be someone others can depend on for consistent prayer.
  • Keep your spiritual lamp filled and your light burning brightly.
• Final Encouragement: Get filled, stay filled, and let your life be a source of sustainable faith for yourself and for others.
