Victory Church | Winchester, VA

Do you want to live in victory? It starts with constructing a victorious mindset! Pastor Keith Cross kicks off our "Mindset" series explaining that a victorious mindset captures thoughts, casts down imaginations, and conquers strongholds. Jesus came to bring us freedom, and the mindset for victory is submission to Christ in us.

Stewardship is about more than finances. It's about having the freedom to love and serve God with all of your heart. Pastor Keith gives practical advice on how we can steward what we save, steward what we spend, and steward what we sow. He reminds us that God isn't after our money; he's after our hearts.

Pastor Keith Cross continues the series "Undeniable Freedom" explaining that the struggle for freedom is a continual confrontation for freedom. We have to fight for undeniable freedom by knowing our Enemy, putting on our weaponry, and utilizing our authority.

The sound of freedom is our praise to God. Our problems need the presence of God, and our praise attracts His presence!

Declarations frame your future, direct your destiny, and bring you deliverance. Pastor Keith explains how there is power in the words we speak, and how important it is that we declare freedom.

Freedom is directly related to the amount of engagement we have with God's Word. When we search His Word in context, with humility and submission, Pastor Keith explains that we will find true freedom.

For Vintage Christmas, Pastor Sarah Huff takes us back to the question: "What would Jesus do?" The Christmas season is the perfect time to ask ourselves this question. Pastor Sarah reminds us that the answer is always LOVE PEOPLE, even when we don't feel like it.

There's a tendency to be discouraged when we see Jesus delaying his return: it's something we've been talking about for 2,000 years! Yet the return of Jesus is imminent. Pastor Keith's first message in this series ( Israel & the Last Days) showed that we are indeed living in the Last Days. This second message, the Church & the Last Days, talks about how we can be ready for the return of Jesus.

Pastor Keith opens this two-part series with the Biblical background on the conflict in Israel, reminding us that whatever takes place in the physical realm has its origin in the spiritual realm. Israel has a special role in the redemptive plans of God, and to stand with Israel is to stand with God.

Pastor Rob Rainville continues the Troublemaker series reminding us of how Jesus commands us to give up the plans we have, the people we love, and the possessions we cherish...and come, follow Him. Sounds like too much, right? Pastor Rob explains that then we may "have nothing, but we possess everything", just like the apostle Paul. Fall in love with Jesus, face your fears, and abide in Him- the cost of being a troublemaker for Jesus is more than worth it!

To contend for the faith we don't have to be contentious, but when we follow Jesus we often have to pay the price of not being liked. Pastor Keith continues the Troublemakers series reminding us that the mark of a troublemaker for Jesus is manifested in an obedient life.

Troublemakers start movements of counter-culture that upset the world. Pastor Pete Duncanson continues the Troublemakers series reminding us that troublemakers follow Christ while spreading the good word about Him! Jesus did it with His ministry, Daniel with his mentality, and Paul and Silas with their methods.

In The Mindset of a Troublemaker, Pastor Keith draws comparisons between the book of Daniel and our culture today. Daniel was a troublemaker- but he wasn't obnoxious. He remained faithful to God by being bold and taking a stand.

Pastor Keith starts his series "Troublemakers" by explaining it's okay to be a troublemaker! Being faithful to Jesus means that we are actually called to take on the ministry of being a troublemaker for Jesus. Today's troublemakers are tomorrow's heroes.

Real change is only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit is in us to transform us, He is with us to resource us and is working through us to use us. In this final message in the "Keep the Change" series, Pastor Keith explains that real change is possible and starts with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

To pursue change, you have to unpack your purpose. What is it that makes you mad? makes you cry? God created you to solve a problem, and your purpose is always connected somehow to serving Jesus. Pastor Keith reminds us that our purpose is the reason we exist, and finding it will fill our lives with significance.

Making changes in your life requires having the right people in your life. Pastor Keith explains that the right people will stay with you and fight for you. As you give and invest in the Kingdom, your life will be enriched with the right kind of people: the kind of people that promote change.

Hope alone isn't enough to bring change, you need holy habits. In this third message in his series "Keep the Change", Pastor Keith lays out the most important aspect of real change: changing your daily habits will change your life.

Why do you do what you do? In "The Path to Change", Pastor Keith explains that we do what we do because of what we think of ourselves. In order to change, we have to rediscover what God says about us and re-evaluate what matters most to us.

The call to follow Jesus is the call to change. In this first message in Pastor Keith Cross's series, Keep the Change, we learn the six steps to prepare for change:Admitting.. I need to changeBelieving...change is possibleAcquiring ...a desire to changeCeasing...all excusesTaking...immediate actionDetermining... I'm never going back

Generosity invites God's miracle provision. Patrick Grach, Lead Pastor of Hagerstown's Lifehouse Church, asks the question, "What seeds are you choosing to sow that you may never get to reap but someone else will?" We often talk about reaping what we sow, but Pastor Patrick reminds us that it's even more important to be willing to sow for the next generation.

It's not enough to be aware of the needs around us, we need to be engaged. Guest speaker Pastor Randy Carter reminds us that when God allows us to see a problem, it becomes our problem. What has moved you recently? This vital message will encourage you to clarify what God is speaking to you about, and help you get engaged for the sake of the Kingdom.

Join us as we seek together to practice the way of Jesus, and find true rest for our souls.

In this last part of Pastor Keith's mini-series, The Harvest, he talks about generosity and how we all have seeds to sow. What are the seeds God has given you? You have to sow those seeds if you want to reap, and you will always reap when you sow by faith!

We've all been given seeds to sow: our words, actions, and time. In this mini-series, Pastor Keith reminds us that the life we live tomorrow results from the seeds we sow today. What we sow daily we will reap in abundance eventually.Some of us are in a sowing season and others are in a reaping season so don't give up: keep sowing, keep loving, keep serving, keep parenting, keep showing up!

Culture doesn't see the Church as someplace that wants to care for them because our messages often sound like soapboxes. Guest Arin Nicholson asks hard-hitting questions, reminding us that the truth of the Gospel is the reconciliation of ALL people to God. Finding someone and sticking with them is what the Gospel is all about!

Maybe you come from a background where the Holy Spirit isn't discussed, and you are unfamiliar with this aspect of God. Yet it's something we all need to talk about, explore, and experience because how we live our lives is shaped by how we experience the Holy Spirit. Pastor Keith reminds us that Jesus left the Holy Spirit as our Helper, and He wants to access every area of our lives so that He can continually fill us with His power.

Hannah Duncanson, wife to our Family Life Pastor Pete Duncanson, shares the story of Hagar who was a single mother. She was the only person to give God a name in the Bible: "El-Roi- The God Who Sees Me". God meets women in the ordinary, and truly sees them. Hannah shares this powerful message reminding us that God deeply values women and made them a crucial and indispensable role in the redemption story.

Because Jesus is King, He offers a new way of life. The Kingdom of God has a different set of values than the world. Pastor Keith explains what those are in this message, inviting us into experiencing the Kingdom of God.

In this second message in the Encounters: the Post Resurrection Appearances of Jesus series, Pastor Keith shares Peter's story and reminds us that Jesus is the friend of the fallen. A life of following Jesus is a life of sacrifice, service, and surrender. If you've fallen, Jesus can lift you up and your future can be secure: but it starts with surrender.

After His Resurrection, Jesus could have chosen to be anywhere: He chose to be with hurting people. On the road to Emmaus, the "talk of the town" was talking to them! Jesus was revealing His desire to be with them and hear them be honest about their pain. Pastor Rob walks us through this amazing post-Resurrection appearance of Jesus with powerful, fresh insights.

There was a surprise at sunrise on Easter morning! Just like the stone being rolled away that first Easter, God removes the powers, the problems, the people, and the pride that stand in your way. He lives, and our lives are forever changed because of it.

God places a premium on broken things because He can use them for His glory. Like the donkey of Palm Sunday, when we are broken, set free, and led...we get to carry Jesus, the King of Kings! Jesus is seen then and glorified.

Have we claimed the benefits God has given us through the precious blood of Jesus? The benefits of our salvation include the power to please God, physical healing, and peace of mind.
