Epicenter Church SD

Do you sing praises before the blessing comes? When all hope seems lost, are we quick to worship the Lord as if we already received the promise? It shouldn't shock us when we're told this week that God does not address our current situation, but calls us to come up higher.Before the Lord can expand us, we must prepare the ground. In every area of our life; where our Character is strong enough to carry the weight of the anointing prepared for us.This week, hear all about it as we have the honor of hosting Pastor Mario Alonso of Family Revival Church.

Are we quick to leave our life of blessing, when God calls us to enter in a desert path, not knowing where He may lead? Sometimes we as Followers can white-knuckle the "good life" God has provided, instead of obeying His instruction to enter into a new season. Phillip ran to fulfill God's word, when God merely asked him to walk. How is your response time when God highlights a stranger, a family member, a brother in need to speak life into? We're reminded that delayed obedience is disobedience. Our goal as His children should be to hear His whisper and immediately move to the rhythm of His instruction. To walk in faith, not having to know the outcome He has in store.Lastly, we're told that we were saved for more than ourselves, and that real people's lives are effected by our obedience and disobedience. Can we truly be called His son or daughter if we're self-seeking and turning a blind eye to those in need?Hear all about it in this week's message.

When was the last time you heard a message on "sorcery"? What are the first things that come to mind? Although we might have a rough idea, the bible is very clear on what it is and why you as a believer should stay away from it. Sorcery is still active in our day-to-day lives, wether it's astrology horoscopes, or black magic, the bible states that it is a real power tied to the demonic forces. We're told that it is a counterfeit form of power and that the believer has access to the source of true power when baptized by the Holy Spirit. Does your heart burn for more? Is Sunday services the only reason why you were saved? Find our more in this week's message.

God did not save us from the power's of sin, just for His Church to be quiet. When the believer take's God's word serious and walks it out in with a holy lifestyle, persecution typically follows. When we read this week regarding the early church's persecution, we're faced with what that actually looks like and what it does not look like. It does not mean we're being irritated by a coworker or family member, true persecution costs. Our faith must remove us from our couches, into the world for the great commission and the saving of souls. This week we touch on how sometimes we can be disappointed when we don't get the answers the way we thought, but that does not mean, our prayers were not answered. We're reminded of the sovereignty of God and His ways.Finally, we're taught the authority we have over the demonic! That Jesus gave us the power to shake loose the chains of torment by demons through Him! There is an exciting life God is calling us to, and He begs the question: "Can I take you to the unknown?"

In this week's message, we celebrate the mother's around the world! When God gives you a promise as a mother, are we quick to stand firm on it, or are we ruled by our emotions trying to control the outcome with our own effort? Hannah was given a promise and in the end, through continual prayer and fasting, she received the promise God gave. But what did she do when she had the son God promised her through Eli? She gave him back to the Lord. Our kids are one's we're to steward in the ways of God, they're not ours to control. Because at the end of the day, they were God's first before He entrusted them to your womb.

In this week's message, we're reminded of the severity of God's desire to occupy every area of our hearts. We learn what it truly means when we "resist God" just like the Pharisees had done with Stephan's message. We, as people, have the option to be overtaken with emotion or with The Holy Spirit. We're told that what overtakes your heart will dictate our response, good or bad. That True submission leads to humility to produce obedience rather than defiance.

In this week's message, we're told about the desire within Moses and Davi both wanting a permanent dwelling for the Most High. How God chooses the least-likely to transform through an encounter with Himself. We're also challenged: When will we stop playing church and desire an encounter for ourselves?

In this week's message, we hear the heart-cry of God. Are we still longing for our old lives where we were once slaves to sin? We're reminded that whatever you trust, fear, obey, or crave more than God is your god. And we're faced with crossroads today; will we go all-in for Jesus, or reject Him entirely?

In this week's message, we're provoked to think about how often are we reflecting on our own history with God? That if we're reminded of how much we were forgiven, we can love even harder.

In this week's message, we take a break of our reading from the book of Acts to hear the weight of what Jesus did on Calvary.

In this week's message, we dive into Joseph's story mentioned in Genesis. Joseph's story teaches us the power of forgiveness and not allowing an eternal decision be swayed by a temporary situation. We also hear about the immaculate timing God has for us all, that one day we will be reminded of every time God intervened even when we didn't see Him.

in this week's message, we're reminded that God wants us to remember where we first experienced His glory. Not to forget about it or think we're too "mature", but to remember where God found us, so that we're continually grateful for what He's done. We're also told that sometimes we can treat God as if He's in the business of making contracts and not covenants with His people, and what that difference is.

In this week's message, we learn that you don't have to be called a disciple for God to use you to do signs and wonders. He was a man who experienced God's love and wanted others to do the same for themselves. And how man made traditions were not equal to God's word.

In this week's message, we hear the importance of being filled with the Holy Spirit and having wisdom when it comes to being in any ministry, no matter how small. Every ministry plays a part in the kingdom and is important in it's advancement.

In this week's message, we're told that when we're walking with the Holy Spirit, our words carry weight. That Christ's followers are called to stand up for righteousness, maintain a united front and respect those we serve with. We also learn the importance of hearing God's voice and using Godly council to confirm, not the other way around.

In this week's message, we hear that God is in search for a church that has a backbone for their faith. Not hesitating when God gives us instructions on stepping out in faith, allowing God to be our strength. The question was also posed: "Do we really believe Jesus to be the name above every name?". We also learn how the apostles had their priorities straight: obeying God above all else.

In this week's message, we read about the miracles that the early church participated in alongside the Holy Spirit. Signs, wonders and miracles were not just for the early church days, but are accessible now to anyone who believes. Nowadays, the modern church attracts new believers through programs, motivational speakers and entertainment, but the reality is, that the early church only needed the power of the Holy Spirit to attract thousands. Have we lowered our standards? The miraculous healings the apostles had been conduits for attracted new believers, confirmed the Word and demonstrated the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit.

In this week's episode, we discuss the radical generosity of the early church. How the motive matters when giving, more than the amount given. That followers of Christ should walk in integrity, letting your "yes" be "yes", and "no" be "no". And challenging us not to lie to the Holy Spirit by the way we live.

In this week's message, we're challenged to ask God to see Him in a different light when problems arise. Chasing after the gifts of Holy Spirit, rather than Their Fruits. And how true boldness only comes from the Holy Spirit

In this week's message, we're faced with the cost of following Jesus. How God's intended leaders turned their back on their Messiah and His followers, and chose their own reputation and position over their own Creator. We also hear that Jesus is the ONLY way to the Father, and how we should be bold enough to profess that as our followers.

In this week's message, we learn about the power of the name of Jesus and the meaning of true repentance!

In this week’s service, we had the privilege of welcoming Pastor Mark Trinidad from Reliance Community Church in Chino, California, who shared God’s heart on the topics of obedience and the power of what a simple “yes” can do in our lives.

In this week's message, we revisit last week's reading passage in the Acts 3, diving into the relationship between sin and sickness. Many of us can lean one way or the other when it comes to blaming our sickness on the sins we commit or believing our health is just a mere human experience we go through . But is that what the bible teaches? Is there a healthy way of thinking God has called us to live by?

In this week's message, we find ourselves in the midst of a miracle outside the temple gates! We as christians have the ability to be a light wherever we walk, spreading Jesus' message as well as being a vessel for miracles to take place!
