Koke Mill Christian Church

<p>Stay Through the Start Anyone can start in faith. Few stay when nothing seems to change.</p><p>In this episode we talk about why prayer can feel silent, ignored, or pointless and how God is actually building a faith that lasts. If you have ever wondered whether your prayers matter, this message is for you. Stay through the start.</p>

<p>There are moments when quitting feels reasonable. Logical. Even justified.</p><p>So why does Jesus keep inviting us to walk with Him anyway?</p><p>Through Hebrews 12 and Luke 9, we step into the tension between weariness and perseverance. Jesus doesn’t rush people into following Him. He tells the truth about the road. It’s hard. It’s slow. It costs something. And it’s worth it.</p><p>This message reminds us that God is working long before progress is visible, that this season isn’t a detour but the location, and that small, faithful steps matter more than forced results! </p>

<p>What if the most important work God is doing in your life is happening beneath the surface?</p><p>In Part 1 of the GROW series, Pastor PJ Summers explores how faith shapes who you’re becoming before you ever see results. This message challenges us to examine the unseen habits, surrender, and daily choices forming our hearts. Faith isn’t just what you believe. It’s how you live. And what you can’t see is shaping everything that comes next! </p>

<p>What feels like an interruption to you might be the moment God is redirecting your life!</p><p>In this episode, PJ walks through Luke 2 and shows how God meets the shepherds in the middle of fear and disruption. Peace does not wait for life to improve. Peace arrives when God does.</p><p>This message is for anyone who feels overwhelmed or stuck. Peace is not a place you arrive at. Peace is a Savior who reaches you right where you are. LETS GO!!</p>

<p>Thanksgiving 2025 </p>

<p>What do you do when life stretches you thin, peace feels out of reach, and faith seems quiet? In this message, we will unpack how peace carries you, faith covers you, and the Kingdom moves when you do. It’s about finding your rhythm again, especially when life gets loud! </p>

<p>In Part 6 of Kingdom Come, Pastor Stan Summers reminds us that God is always working behind the scenes, even when life does not make sense. This message explains the hope we have in God’s plan, His coming Kingdom, and the return of Jesus Christ.</p>

<p>What do you do when God’s instructions don’t match your situation? In this episode, Pastor PJ Summers shares a personal story of faith during crisis and unpacks the battle of Jericho.... a moment where worship was the strategy, not the celebration. Learn the difference between praise and worship, and discover why surrender is often the key to breakthrough! #kokemillchurch</p>

<p>Faith isn’t just believing in Jesus. It’s following where He leads. In this message, Pastor PJ Summers walks through Romans 8 to show us how to walk like it, stand like it, lead like it, and live like it. God’s “for you” outweighs every “against you,” and nothing can separate us from His love. You don’t need to be fearless to walk in victory. Just faithful! #kokemillchurch </p>

<p>Pride climbs. Humility bows. Today we are talking about James 4:1–12 in Work in Progress | Part 7, where James, the brother of Jesus, shows us that the way up in God’s Kingdom is down. Pride fights for control and chases status, but James learned that pride always crashes and humility gets lifted.</p><p>Real faith surrenders. God lifts what goes low. If you are carrying the weight of control, chasing validation, or fighting draining battles, this message will point you to freedom, peace, and strength in Jesus! #kokemillchurch</p>

<p>James 3:1–12 reminds us that words aren’t just sounds, they shape lives, direct our future, and reveal our hearts. Pastor Stan unpacks how the tongue can bless or destroy, why controlling it is a spiritual battle, and how God’s Word can heal the wounds words leave behind. Learn how to speak life, guard your heart, and let your words reflect your worship.</p>

<p>In Part 8 of the HABITS series, Pastor Stan Summers unpacks “The Habit of Being Led by the Holy Spirit.” Being a believer isn't just about faith—it's about walking daily with the Spirit. Learn how the Holy Spirit helps, teaches, empowers, and guides us into a victorious life. </p>

<p>Jesus didn’t avoid the valley—He walked through it so you’d know how to walk through yours.</p><p>If you’ve been living between peace and pressure lately, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about the kind of habits that lead you to prayer, not panic—Scripture, not self.</p><p>Jesus modeled it. Now we get to live it. LET'S GO!</p>
