In his sermon, Pastor James Crawford examines Daniel chapter 3, focusing on the unwavering faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who refused to bow to King Nebuchadnezzar’s golden statue despite the threat of a fiery furnace. He draws parallels to modern cultural pressures, urging believers to stand firm in their convictions against ideological idols like fame, materialism, and societal conformity, even when it leads to isolation or persecution. Crawford emphasizes that true faith trusts God’s presence and power in trials, regardless of the outcome, as exemplified by the trio’s declaration that God could deliver them, but even if He did not, they would not worship false gods. The sermon challenges Christians to live courageously, reflecting God’s glory through obedience, which can influence culture and even hostile hearts, as seen in Nebuchadnezzar’s eventual respect for God.Verse References: Daniel 3 verses 1-30, Romans 12 verse 2, Job 13 verse 15, Isaiah 43 verse 2, Psalms 34 verse 19, Matthew 5 verse 1

In this sermon, Pastor Micah Stephens explores Matthew 6:19-24 from the Sermon on the Mount, urging believers to choose heavenly treasures over earthly ones. He emphasizes Jesus’ teaching on giving, praying, and fasting as acts of obedience that yield divine rewards when done with a pure heart, not for worldly recognition. Pastor Micah warns against the hypocrisy of seeking earthly rewards like wealth and glory, which reveal a divided loyalty to mammon rather than God. Through vivid illustrations, including the story of John Harper on the Titanic, he calls Christians to fix their gaze on Christ, prioritizing eternal values over fleeting worldly gains, and to serve God alone as their master, ensuring their heart aligns with heavenly treasures.Verse References: Isaiah 55 verse 8, Romans 6 verse 16, Matthew 6 verses 19-24, Luke 12 verses 33-34, 1 Timothy 6 verses 10-11, Philippians 4 verses 11-13, John 12 verses 42-43, Matthew 10 verse 32, Colossians 3 verses 1-2, Luke 17 verse 32, Acts 16 verse 31Make sure you

In this sermon, Pastor Rob McCoy explores John 2:1-11, the miracle of Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana, presenting it as a profound encapsulation of the Christian life.

Pastor Rob highlights Jesus’ choice to reveal His glory at a wedding, underscoring the importance of family and obedience to God’s will, as exemplified by Mary’s directive to “do whatever He says.” Through the servants’ faithful actions and the transformation of water into superior wine, Pastor Rob calls believers to trust Jesus with life’s problems, reject legalism, and embrace the joy and liberty found in serving Him, encouraging a life of faith that brings glory to God.Verse References:John 2:1-11, Isaiah 41:10, Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:7-9, 1 Corinthians 10:23, Ephesians 5:15-16, John 15:13, Ephesians 5:22-25, John 4:4, 1 John 4:19Make sure you su

In this sermon, Pastor Micah Stephens dives into Matthew 6:16-18, continuing his series on the Sermon on the Mount by exploring the often-overlooked Christian discipline of fasting. He clarifies that biblical fasting involves complete abstinence from food, not merely abstaining from certain foods or non-food items, distinguishing it from simply stopping sinful behaviors. Pastor Micah emphasizes that New Testament fasting is not for atonement but for drawing closer to Christ, the atoner, and cultivating a hunger for God’s presence and kingdom. Through practical applications and scriptural examples, he challenges believers to fast regularly for repentance, guidance, desperation, and spiritual hunger, urging them to avoid the hypocritical displays of the Pharisees and pursue fasting with a heart focused on God alone.Verse References: Matthew 6 verses 16-18, Leviticus 16 verses 29-30, Hebrews 9 verse 12, Matthew 9 verses 14-15, Joel 2 verse 12, Acts 13 verses 2-3, Acts 14 verse 23, Esther 4 verse 16, 2 Samuel 12

In this sermon, Pastor James Crawford delves into Daniel 2:24-49, exploring Daniel’s bold yet humble obedience as he interprets King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, revealing the rise and fall of earthly kingdoms and the eternal supremacy of God’s kingdom.

Through Daniel’s humility and reliance on God, the sermon calls listeners to reflect on whether they are pursuing fleeting earthly kingdoms or the unshakable kingdom of God, urging steadfast devotion and service to others.Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used

In this Resurrection Sunday sermon, Pastor Micah Stephens passionately explores the transformative power of Jesus’ resurrection through Luke 24:1-12, emphasizing the angelic perspective that challenges believers with the question, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?” He connects Christ’s fulfillment of Old Testament feasts—Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits—to God’s eternal plan, urging listeners to embrace the living hope of resurrection power.

In his Palm Sunday sermon "Hosanna In The Highest," Pastor Micah Stephens passionately unpacks the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem as recounted in Matthew 21, challenging listeners to grapple with the pivotal question, "Who is this?" Pastor Micah vividly contrasts the crowd’s misguided expectations of a conquering Messiah with Jesus’ humble arrival on a donkey, fulfilling prophecy as a peaceful King intent on saving humanity from sin, not merely political oppression. Reflecting on the church’s defiant stand during 2020 against restrictive orders, he underscores the importance of true worship—a heart posture of submission to Christ’s identity as King, not just a prophet—urging believers to align their lives with God’s will through obedience, even when it defies personal comfort or societal norms. This message calls for genuine repentance and a deeper understanding of Jesus’ cosmic rescue mission, setting the stage for Holy Week’s transformative journey to the cross.Verse References:

Episode 15: In this episode of the Faith Forward Podcast, Pastor Rob McCoy, Pastor Micah Stephens, and Garrett Backstrom dive into a discussion about the newly formed White House Faith Office, examining its leaders and participants while weighing its implications for religious liberty in America, which they view as a positive step. They critique the Prosperity Gospel’s dangers within Christianity, address the secondary debate over ordaining female pastors, and react to a shocking clip of a church embracing drag queens, furries, and transgender identities in a drag show, questioning how such distortions have infiltrated American churches. The trio argues that these issues stem from Christians abandoning their role in politics and the public square, creating a void that the Left and those twisting the Gospel eagerly exploit. They call for discernment in teachings, active love for neighbors, and a bold stand for truth across all spheres of life, including political engagement, to counter these trends.Make sure y

In his sermon "Pride After Blessing," Pastor Rob McCoy weaves a compelling narrative that intertwines the biblical story of King Hezekiah with contemporary challenges facing America. Reflecting on his recent speaking engagement in El Cajon, California, McCoy highlights the grassroots efforts to unify conservatives in the state amid economic struggles, soaring debt, and a shifting global trade landscape. He draws a parallel between Hezekiah’s prideful decision to flaunt Judah’s treasures to Babylon—leading to eventual ruin—and America’s post-World War II economic policies that favored foreign manufacturing over domestic prosperity, resulting in a debtor nation burdened by $36 trillion in debt. With fervent conviction, Pastor Rob calls for a selfless recalibration of priorities, urging listeners to endure short-term economic discomfort for the sake of future generations, much like Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, celebrated in communion, exemplifies dying to self so others might live.Verse References:

In his sermon "Joseph's Life: A Masterclass In Faith," Pastor Scott Bland delivers an inspiring character study of Joseph from the Old Testament, tracing his remarkable journey from favored son to enslaved prisoner, and ultimately to second-in-command in Egypt. Pastor Scott highlights how Joseph’s life, spanning Genesis 37 to 50, exemplifies resilience and godliness amid adversity—betrayed by his jealous brothers, sold into slavery, falsely accused, and imprisoned, yet sustained by God’s presence and purpose. Through Joseph’s story, Pastor Scott underscores the transformative power of forgiveness and faith, culminating in Joseph’s declaration to his brothers in Genesis 50:19-20: “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good,” as he preserved a remnant of Israel during famine. This message encourages listeners to endure life’s trials with gratitude and trust in God’s plan, reflecting on Joseph’s unwavering character as a model for overcoming personal struggles and extending grace to othe

In his sermon "When You Pray," Pastor Micah Stephens draws from the book of Matthew to deliver a heartfelt message about the simplicity and power of prayer, echoing Jesus' teaching that it should be a private, intimate exchange between an individual and God—not a public spectacle performed for human praise, lest that fleeting recognition become the only reward. He highlights Jesus' own reliance on prayer with the Father as a model for believers, urging us to depend on it even more in our own lives, while dispelling the notion that prayer is a complex ritual, magic spell, or wish to a distant deity; instead, it’s a direct, face-to-face conversation with God. Pastor Stephens emphasizes the extraordinary privilege we now have through Christ—unhindered access to God—contrasting it with the Old Testament era when Jews depended on animal sacrifices and a high priest to petition God on their behalf, a process so precise that a misstep could cost the priest his life. Today, he reminds us, we often

In this sermon titled "Is This Dividing The Church?," Pastor Rob McCoy confronts the alarming rise of antisemitism within America and the Church, spotlighting a troubling trend among some on the Right who label Jews as the "Synagogue of Satan" to fuel their hatred toward Jewish people and Israel. He emphasizes that a divided house cannot stand and questions the future direction of the Church, reaffirming that God's eternal promises and covenants with Abraham and the Jews remain forever—asserting that the Church does not supplant them as the chosen people, and Israel forever belongs to the Jews. Pastor McCoy reminds us that all nations and individuals bear the guilt of humanity's atrocities, having sinned and fallen short, and urges believers to bless Israel and the Jewish people. He warns that both the "Woke Right" and "Woke Left," if taken to their extremes, pose equal threats, potentially ushering in death and destruction to the United States and the America

In his sermon "Charitable Deeds," part of his ongoing series on the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Micah Stephens preaches from the book of Matthew, cautioning that charitable acts cannot simultaneously seek human applause and divine approval—they are mutually exclusive pursuits. He challenges believers to examine their motives: are their good deeds performed with theatrical flair for public recognition, or quietly to reflect glory to God? Stephens warns against virtue signaling, a trap not limited to the political left but prevalent among Christians too, urging vigilance against the deception that earthly praise equates to God’s pleasure. He encourages striving for heavenly rewards, not self-congratulation, so that God alone may judge and affirm us with a "well done," keeping eternity as the focus of our actions.Verse References: Matthew 6 verses 1-4, Matthew 5 verse 16, Revelation 22 verse 12, Luke 4 verses 6-7, Hebrews 6 verse 10, Colossians 3 verses 23-24, Matthew 16 verse 26, John 12 ver

In his sermon "Why Would God Gift You Pain?" Pastor Rob McCoy draws from the book of Luke, focusing on Jesus healing a leper after the Sermon on the Mount, to explore the unexpected blessing of pain as a divine signal that something is amiss. He compares leprosy’s numbing effects to the ways people in modern communities dull their own pain through escapes like drugs, alcohol, or pornography, rather than confronting it. McCoy asserts that just as the leper found healing through worshiping Jesus, true wholeness comes not from masking pain but from turning to Christ, the only one capable of restoring us fully. Through this lens, he reframes pain as a purposeful gift, guiding us toward the ultimate healer.Verse References: Luke 5 verses 12-16Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a will

In this episode of Faith Forward, Pastors Rob McCoy and Micah Stephens explore a range of pressing topics, starting with insights from the recent Faith Forward Pastor Summit and the encouraging trend of younger generations embracing Christianity and conservatism amid growing exhaustion with woke ideology and its societal fallout. They delve into the federal judge injunctions thwarting the Trump administration’s efforts to realign the U.S. with the electorate’s mandate, spotlighting broader cultural battles, including the left’s shifting stance on Elon Musk and DOGE—evidenced by Tesla burnings that betray their environmental rhetoric as a guise for attacking America’s Christian-rooted values. The conversation culminates with a reflection on the Titler Cycle, urging vigilance to prevent a return to truth and prosperity from sliding into apathy and a leftward lurch, emphasizing the need for intentional diligence to steer future generations toward an enduring positive course for the nation.Make sure you subscribe
