Dr. John Sullivan 1 Kings 18:37-39; 19:1-3, 9

Ephesians 4 is another classic text with countless exhortations of how to love others. Pastor Ryan Trzeciak gives 5 specific ways we can use our words to build up another and not tear down.

There are many classic passages of Scripture cherished by Christians all over the world, and one of the big ones is Psalm 46. It is a classic because we can clearly see that God is our refuge and strength when we fear, and Pastor Sean picks apart exactly how we can apply this passage to our lives.

Dr. John Sullivan preaches from Revelation 5.

Religious opposition is when religious people who are deceitful and divisive seek to undermine God’s work through faithful people because it exposes their sin and challenges their traditions. We see this clearly in Acts 7. Join us as Nocatee Campus Pastor Spencer Harmon uses this text to show us how we should expect religious opposition and how we can endure it.

Dr. Sullivan preaches on the distinction between our own formed traditions and what God's Word says.

Service is the heart and soul of revival. Just as the Revival of Jacksonville in the 60s and 70s required thousands to serve the Church, there will never be revival today without growing numbers of servants.

People are obsessed with power. Being a human means being weak, and we are always looking for ways to overcome our weakness; however, the only true way we can be made strong is in the power of Jesus' resurrection. Pastor Heath preaches from Philippians 3 as we discover on Easter Sunday the power of Jesus' Resurrection.

Pastor Ernie Baker gives examples from Romans 12 on how our marriages can be "one another" marriages.

Suffering and Revival go hand in hand; in every example the Bible gives of the spread of Christianity, persecution always laces each one. How should we respond to suffering? Pastor Heath gives 3 results of suffering from Acts 5 that should shape our lives.

Pastor Scott Connell uses the Pauline prayer from Colossians 1:9-14 to show us how we can care for each other through prayer.

Holiness is at the center of revival and sanctification. Hypocrisy is wanting a reputation for holiness more than actual holiness. We see the example of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 and see just how poisonous hypocrisy is to revival.

The gospel is the greatest story of love and care ever told. It is so powerful, that every other story has to borrow from it to be any good. Just like in famous novels or in captivating movies, the best moments and characters are only pencil sketches of gospel diamond. This true story is the greatest ever told, and it sets the supreme example of love and care for each of us.

The Ultimate Spiritual Tragedy is described in Matthew 7:21-23. There is no greater spiritual tragedy than standing before Jesus on judgment day and being surprised to hear the words “I never knew you; depart from me.” We see this example in 1 Samuel 15, and Pastor Richard gives us 5 ways we can avoid the same tragedy.

Pastor Coty gives 3 ways to increase in our love and care for another as found in 1 Thessalonians 3.

Just like the power of Jesus is the only way our physical bodies will eventually conquer physical death and decay, the power of the Holy Spirit is the only way our churches will withstand spiritual decay. We see in Acts 3 both examples of physical and spiritual restoration.

There are some ingredients that simply cannot be left out of baking cookies. For example, leaving eggs out of cookies renders them a stale and brittle mess. Just like baking cookies, applying Scripture to our relationships is critical for caring and loving one another. Pastor Spencer gives 3 practical ways Hebrews 3 prescribes applying the Bible to our relationships.

Preaching is an odd thing: we get together and sit down and listen to someone talk. However, preaching is also a crucial gift from God that has changed many, and we will see in Acts 2 that it is the avenue God will use to spark revival in the Church.

We live in the decayed remnants of a once lustrous marriage culture. Much like war-ravaged Europe after WWII, our culture is a sexual and marital wasteland. Jesus warned this would happen in Mark 10, but he also gave us three truths we should use to reclaim the beauty of marriage in an age where the very definition is under attack.

One of the greatest moments in human history was the baptism of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The same Spirit equips us today as Believers to share the Gospel and experience revival. Listen as Pastor Heath shares from Acts 2 the baptism of the Spirit at Pentecost.

Our love is the most important thing in the world-- not our giftedness, knowledge, faith, or even acts of faithfulness. However, our love cannot be defined in our own terms; it must be defined by Jesus and what He says in the Bible. We hear in 1 John 3:16 the model of Jesus's love and care in tonight's sermon.

Every movement in The Bible and in Church History has been led by a leader. God always uses Spirit-filled leaders, flawed as they may be to do His great work. Listen as Pastor Heath preaches from Acts 1:12-26 as to how God will use you for His work.

The defining reality of our day is the disappointment of decline. The last decade has been especially hard with declining moral values in our culture and a decline in churches across the country. We all respond to this decline in many ways, but God's Word reveals to us the only correct way to respond to this decline. In today's sermon, Pastor Heath gives 4 incorrect human responses to decline and how we should respond as found in Acts 1.

Romans 8:28 is a widely-used Scripture text, but what is it really saying? Guest Pastor of Buck Run Baptist Church in Frankfort, Kentucky joins us as he preaches how all things truly do work together for good for those who love God.

Many times Christians have been referred to as "People of the Book." This is because in the past Christians were so devoted to the Bible that even opponents of Christianity understood how important it was to the faith. Are we in 2023 as devoted as Christians of the past? Pastor Richard Lucas parallels Nehemiah 8 to today to see how we can seek to become as devoted to living out the Bible as ancient Christians.

New Years is a time to reflect. As we reflect back on 2022, Pastor Sean gives six resolutions to spur us on as Christians in 2023.

O Come, All Ye Faithful is one of the most well-known Christmas Carols of all time. We as Christians are the faithful, not because of our own faithfulness but because of Christ's faithfulness in us. Tune in as Pastor Heath preaches a Christmas message from 1 Timothy.

For many, Christmas doesn't feel like a time of peace but a time of chaos and heartache. However, we can still sing joyfully at Christmas even with the hurt and the pain. Listen as Pastor Heath preaches from John 16:33 and tells of how he loves Christmas despite the awful Christmas memories of his childhood.

Why is Away in a Manger one of the most popular Christmas carols? It is because it captures the real meaning of Christmas found in Luke 2. Join us as Pastor Heath juxtaposes Christ's lowly and humble entrance into this world with our tendency to want to exalt ourselves as we study Luke 2:7.

Often times valleys in our lives start from an external situation and impact us internally. However, many times valleys begin inside us and work outwardly in how we perceive things. Nocatee Campus Pastor Spencer Harmon experienced just this in his battle with depression. Listen as he explains how Psalm 42 was a major companion to his walking through this valley.

There is something about Jesus that inspires conflict. While history is full of examples of humans fighting because of Christ, the biggest enemy to Jesus is ourself.

Pastor Scott recounts the 24 year-long journey of faith and suffering God has brought he and his family through as they walked through financial, family, health, and cancer battles.
