Your Breakthrough Is In Your Response Series

Contributed by Apostle Dr. Belinda V. Broadnax on Oct 24, 2024

This sermon explores how responding to God’s voice brings breakthrough and blessing. It emphasizes that our willingness to act on what God speaks is often the key to unlocking His promises and stepping into new seasons of favor and growth.

There comes a moment in every believer’s life when hearing God’s voice isn’t enough—we must respond. God speaks, He guides, He reveals His will, but it is our response that determines whether or not we step into the fullness of what He has for us. We can hear God’s direction clearly, but if we ...read more

What The World Hates...

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Nov 12, 2023

How did we get to a point where there are those that sit in a church who don’t believe what is necessary to be saved, let alone what it is to be a true Christian? Well, this is a problem of leadership.

This I say so ...read more
