Victory Church: Paul Daugherty

How do we position ourselves to receive God's favor in our life? Check out this sermon for the four steps it takes to clear the junk that is holding God's favor from you!

Pastor Paul talks about David from the Old Testament and how he was able to tune his heart back to God.

Pastor Daniel brings us the word this week as we continue in our series of "Faith"!

Pastor's Stephan and Emonne Markland speak on the topic of Faith as we continue our series this week!

Pastor Ryan brings a powerful word as we kick off our new midweek series, "Faith"!

Listen to a powerful message from part of our pastoral team speaking on "Wells of Living Water" (Pastor John), "Faith" (Pastor Aimee), "Spending Time With God" (Pastor Tim), "Humility" (Pastor Daniel), and "Purpose" (Pastor Josh)!

In submitting to God's ways, we can step back and “Let Him Cook.” Even when things look confusing to our earthly eyes, the Lord operates in the supernatural to work all things together for our good.

You have a specific pace that God is calling you to live in that will unlock a greater level of favor! But many things will try to hinder God’s people from living out their purpose, so we must be watchful of the stumbling blocks in our paths. The enemy will use restlessness, wanderlust, technology addiction, purpose fatigue, and sin to distract us from the Lord’s plans.

Pastor Paul spoke on keeping a "Warrior Mindset.” The best warriors are those who follow the Lord’s leadership in submission. Great men don’t dominate others, rather, godly men honor others. The Warrior Mindset is not about being awesome, but about having an awesome God live within you.

There are distinct times in our lives where God meets us in a powerful moment and marks us for a greater opportunity. In Exodus, Moses receives divine assignments after encountering God through a burning bush. We will only walk into burning bush moments when we are following God’s plan and yielding to His Word. Your burning bush moment will require faith, hope, trust, divine curiosity, and a servant’s heart.

People can only live in their true purpose when they know God and live in His will. No position, role, title, or achievement can fulfill the purpose we have in this world. Before you were born, the Lord created a divine purpose within you that is found in relationship with Him. The devil will try to convince you that your purpose relies on applause and accomplishments, but God can awaken purpose wherever you are. No matter your title, God’s power can produce greatness in any circumstance! You are here on earth for a heavenly purpose!

On Memorial Day Weekend, we had the privilege to receive a timely word from Paul Geerling, Senior Pastor of iSEE CHURCH. Sharing from 1 Thessalonians, he taught that the power of God working through ordinary people produces miracles. And when we partner with the Holy Spirit, that is when His presence touches the lost.

Pastor Paul unpacks the initial release of the Holy Spirit on the Upper-room in Acts. Followers of Christ must remain obedient to the Lord even when we cannot see what He is doing. Waiting on God will push you faster and further than you could go in your own strength. Your job is to yield to the Holy Spirit as He leads, and oftentimes, He takes us one step at a time. Stay steadfast in surrendering to God’s plans and you will experience His blessings and miracles.

This weekend was full of celebrating and honoring the mothers within our church, ending each service with a prophetic blessing over all the women. Pulling lessons from Esther, “The Woman Who Saved a Nation,” Pastor Paul encouraged all men and women that they are called by God for such a time as this. Because of Esther’s obedience and prayers, she found favor with the king to be positioned as the savior for her nation. Just like Esther, you have been placed where you are by God to bring heaven onto earth.

In the last episode of Season 7, John and Arvin discuss the difference between working "ON" something and "IN" something, the importance of prioritizing your soul over your Instagram, and how exhaustion and maturity can often look like the same thing when it comes to leading yourself or others.

Within every story in the Bible, God used real people to further His Kingdom, despite their flaws and shortcomings. The Lord looks for people with obedient hearts to carry out His plans and receive His promises. No matter what circumstances come against you, the Lord’s grace is powerful enough to sustain you and use it for His glory.

John and Arvin discuss the nuanced dynamics around connections, networking, and the not-so-subtle art of elbowing one's way onto a platform or into a position.

Pastor Paul continued his series teaching from the Book of James on how followers live with an everyday faith. The Lord desires to work mightily in and through your life, but He requires your surrender to His greater plans. Once God’s presence and power become real to you, The Only Way Forward is by stepping out in faith where He calls you.

Buckle up for this one! John and Arvin dive into all their behind the scenes thoughts about churches who get in trouble for creative mishaps and the importance of checking yourself before blasting a ministry on social media.

The sermon, Activate Your Faith, dove into the essence of faith, emphasizing the transition from a works-based mindset to understanding salvation through grace. Pastor Paul cautioned us against complacency post-salvation, urging believers to manifest their faith through actions, not just words, drawing insights from biblical narratives and personal anecdotes to illustrate the importance of a genuine, transformed life. Paul concluded with a heartfelt call to activate faith through sincere repentance, surrender to God, and a commitment to living out one's faith in daily thoughts, words, and actions.

In episode 7 of the Behind the Scenes of our Best Days Podcast, John and Arvin discuss the importance of social awareness when working behind the scenes in ministry contexts. Together, they dive into events in church history that helped create the modern church environment and what each individual can do to take ownership of their faith instead of relying on the church to grow them spiritually.

Looking at “The Man in the Mirror” is a metaphor for believers to evaluate their individual heart and habits. The life transformation you encounter testifies of God’s divine grace. With the Holy Spirit inside of us, we are called to spread His love in action and in words to those around us. Don’t allow the enemy to distract you from cleaning out the old and making room for what God wants to do. You have a purpose on the other side of obeying God’s Word that will glorify the Kingdom of God!

John and Arvin dive into the importance of boundaries as we go about stewarding God-given burdens.

The Book of James gives practical wisdom on how followers of Christ can produce long-suffering through endurance. Without tests, our spiritual development remains stagnant and weak. Although we will all face difficulties, we must hold tightly to the promises of God, persevering through trials to gain joy, patience, maturity, character, and faith.Whether you are entering or exiting a trial, the Lord holds a plan to strengthen you for the glory of His Kingdom. The reward for persevering is often an opportunity to share your testimony with someone walking through a hard time. There is purpose in your pain!

The EASTER episode! John, Dom, and Arvin dive into a tell all about the experience of making Victory's 2024 Easter Production: PROOF.

Celebrating the greatest day in history, PROOF showed the triumph of Christ’s death and resurrection. The story, creatively told through the eyes of the disciples, laid out the stages of grief experienced between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. As you walk through valleys, remember that anything can happen on a Sunday!

In this episode, Pastor John and Arvin discuss the development of "taste" as a creative person and the way people navigate increasingly unique iterations of themselves.

This weekend's word, "Snatched," set our priority back onto the Great Commission as Easter fast approaches. Pastor Paul emphasized the urgency that believers should carry to rescue the lost with Christ's redemption. We should cultivate a divine burden to minister to those around us daily.Here are ways to live "Snatched":1. Build ourselves up with faith 2. Pray in the Holy Spirit3. Keep ourselves in the love of God4. Be full of mercy toward all5. Go rescue people out of the flames
