We are joined for an evening with our friends Rachel Hickson and Helen Azer from Heartcry For Change as we explore God's heart for prophecy and His church!

Ever wondered what a truly supportive community feels like? This episode unpacks why it’s life-changing and shows how easy it is to find yours in a Life Group.

In this episode, Jay and Kim Smith share their journey from quietly attending church to finding real community through Life Groups. In this fun and honest conversation, they open up about the hesitations, the chaos of hosting, and the unexpected joy of watching God move through simple obedience. Their story is a beautiful reminder that saying yes to community is always worth it. To learn more about life groups and get connected, visit victoryfaith.org/life-groups.

In this message, Pastor Joe explored the profound impact of diverse, public, and costly worship. Through the stories of two women who worshipped Jesus in different yet equally powerful ways, we were reminded of the beauty and strength found in our collective worship as the redeemed people of God. The sermon emphasized how our individual stories of redemption, when brought together in worship, create a tapestry that transcends our differences and unites us before the throne of God.

As this years students from the School Of Leadership graduate, they share testimonies of what God has done in there life.

In this message, we get to hear from guest speaker Helen Azer as she teaches about having a resurrection mentality all year round. As we look the death and decay in the world around us, we must speak the better word given from God instead. We have to look beyond just the natural world and hear what heaven is speaking, and prophesy life in the place of death.

In this episode, Jenni and Justin share what seven years in a Life Group has meant to them. They talk about learning to trust, being known, and having people show up in some of the most important moments of their lives. It’s aa journey of how consistency over time turned into real community.

In this episode of Why Life Groups Matter, Kaitlyn and Kira share why they didn’t think they needed a Life Group, what surprised them most about joining one, and how being part of a multi-generational Life Group transformed their faith. This conversation is a powerful reminder that Life Groups aren’t just about finding community—they’re about growing into who God created us to be, together.

What if there was a special reward for those who fear God? In this message, Pastor Trevor dives into the book of Malachi, where a remnant of God's people are remembered by the Lord. God is restoring His church to the awe and the fear of the Lord, bringing together a people who are sold out for Him alone. His presence and blessing is our reward.

The greatest revelation of God in the scriptures is that He is holy. Trying harder or being better won't fix our sin problem. When we encounter Him and when we behold Him, it is then that we are changed by His holiness.

Are we living theoretical Christianity, drowning in knowledge but lacking obedience? Do we know more about the Bible than we're actually living? The fear of the Lord produces obedience like nothing else can. It's not behavioral modification - it's surrender flowing from seeing God clearly and trusting Him completely.

What controls your decisions: God's voice or people's opinions? The fear of man is a trap that looks reasonable but imprisons our identity, voice, and calling. God is restoring the revelation of the fear of the Lord to break our addiction to approval. When we fear God more than man, we become free to fulfill our purpose.

The fear of the Lord isn't about being afraid, it's about being gripped by His greatness, His holiness, His majesty. We've created a version of God we're comfortable with, but not one we tremble before. Grace didn't remove the fear of God—it made a way to approach Him rightly. Even Jesus approached the Father with reverent submission.

In this episode, Jenna shares her journey of coming to Victory Faith and joining a Life Group right away. Over the past few years, she’s experienced real growth, meaningful connection, and a life that looks different today. Now leading a group herself, she shares why simply showing up can change more than you expect.

Have you ever truly encountered the fear of the Lord? Not being afraid OF God, but being in AWE of Him. The problem is we've made God comfortable. He's dangerous in the most beautiful way. Let Him restore the fear of the Lord to your life, because it's the beginning of wisdom.

In this message, we hear from guest speaker Rachel Hickson as she shares about the power of resurrection life. Facing the facts of life's hardships and disappointments doesn't exclude us from speaking life to every dead situation. We get to make the choice to hear God and believe in His resurrection power. How much do you want life?

In this message, we hear from guest speakers Rachel and Gordon Hickson as they share about the power, through Christ, to live an abundant life. Facing the facts of life's hardships and disappointments doesn't exclude us from speaking life to every dead situation. We get to make the choice to hear God and believe in His resurrection power.

This powerful message confronts how we judge others while remaining blind to our own faults. Pastor Trevor dives into how when we deal with our own spiritual condition, we can then see clearly to help others with genuine love and restoration rather than condemnation. This is the narrow road of true discipleship, moving us from automatic judgment to authentic self-examination and spiritual growth.

The name of Jesus stands above every other name - above fear, addiction, shame, sickness, and every force that tries to hold us back. This Easter, we celebrate that because Jesus took the lowest place on the cross, God exalted Him to the highest place.

Dr. Mike Maiden brought a powerful word, reminding us that God never changes His mind about what He wants families, churches, and nations to be. Your best season is ahead, not behind.

When someone wrongs you, what's your first move? Jesus gives us a protocol in Matthew 18. Go directly to the person. Not to your group chat. Not to your prayer circle as a cover for gossip. Just you and them. Unity commands God's blessing, while unresolved conflict gives the enemy a foothold in our lives.

We've all been hurt. We've all hurt others. But when we hold unforgiveness, we're drinking poison expecting the other person to die. The gospel isn't just receiving forgiveness, it's giving it. Not because they deserve it, but because you've been forgiven much.

After performing countless miracles and drawing massive crowds throughout Galilee, Jesus didn't capitalize on the momentum with more spectacular displays. Instead, He sat down and taught about humility, humanity, honesty, honor, and eternal realities. This message reminds us that Christian ethics aren't optional add-ons to our faith, they're the very foundation of walking the narrow road that leads to life.

The narrow road isn't about earning salvation - it's about living out the love we've received. . When we truly encounter Jesus, our lives bear fruit. Not perfect fruit, but evidence of a changed heart walking in obedience.

Offense is a sneaky snare that can fixate our focus on hurt rather than hope. But here's the truth: Jesus isn't offended by your questions. He responds with compassion and truth. Don't let offense separate you from the only One who can heal your pain.

Before the fall, before redemption was needed, there was a Father's heart longing for family. God's ultimate intention isn't just salvation—it's sonship.

This powerful message confronts us with a reality that many modern believers overlook: authentic Christianity is not a ticket to comfort, but a call to spiritual warfare. We are challenged to examine our own lives: Are we standing firm in our victories, or have we become passive in seasons of blessing? 

Prayer isn't just a discipline—it's a divine invitation to partner with God. When we align our lives with what God is building in the earth, our prayers shift from begging to breakthrough. The difference between what you can do and what God can do? That's the power of prayer.

God has been speaking some exciting things and we got to unpack them at our services this weekend. Be sure to listen in and don't miss being a part of the journey!

What does it mean to truly hear God's voice? Through His Spirit, He communicates from within—speaking to your spirit, guiding your steps, and transforming you from the inside out. You never have to be alone again.

In this episode of Why Life Groups Matter, Ethan and Jetza talk honestly about their expectations of Life Group and how it became far more than they imagined. Through community, shared stories, and faith-filled conversations, they found confidence, healing, and family.

Don't believe the lie that God no longer speaks personally. Before God created light, there was His voice. Before order, life, or blessing—there was conversation. Don't settle for silence. In this season of prayer and fasting, quiet the noise, open His Word, and listen.

If Jesus needed to fast, how much more do we need it? Fasting is not about earning merit with God, but rather a biblical discipline modeled by Jesus that deals with our flesh, creates spiritual hunger, empowers us against temptation, and produces breakthrough where nothing else will.

Have you ever wondered what true love really looks like?It looks like God sending His Son into our broken world—not because we deserved it, but because He is love—offering hope, peace, joy, and eternal life through Jesus.

What if joy isn’t found in things that spark and then fade, but in the Person who came to bring it forever? True biblical joy flows from God’s grace, remains steady through any storm, and becomes our strength because the God who rejoices over us is always with us.

What if peace isn’t the absence of chaos, but the presence of Jesus in it? Jesus entered our chaos to bring real shalom: restored relationship with God and wholeness nothing else can give. Will you come to the Person who is Peace?

What if your darkest moment is exactly when God chooses to give you a new hope? Pastor Trevor shows us that Advent isn’t just a countdown to Christmas, it’s a reminder of the faithfulness of God, even through the waiting. Deeper than wishful thinking, true hope is found in knowing the person of Christ and leaning into Him as we sit in between the promise and the fulfillment. 

What if you woke up tomorrow with only the things you thanked God for today?The life-changing practice of biblical gratitude isn’t just a holiday feeling; it’s a daily choice. Scripture commands us to “give thanks in all circumstances” because expressed, intentional thankfulness—spoken, written, and lived—unlocks God’s presence, restores contentment, and turns even our hardest moments into opportunities to shine as children of light.

Will you give your life, your prayers, and your generosity to build the Church Jesus sees? This Legacy Sunday, Pastor Trevor focused on the power of a Spirit-filled, Kingdom-advancing Church. We are called to build His Church with our lives — will you answer the call?

What if the 4 hours a day you spend obsessing over money isn’t just stress, but a silent theft of the life God intended for you? By giving God the first 10% as His holy tithe, we reclaim peace, honor Him as owner, and invite His floodgate blessings on the 90% that remains, as promised in scripture.

What does true worship really look like when it costs us something? This powerful exploration of Cain and Abel's story reveals that worship isn't just about showing up or going through the motions—it's about what we hold in first place. Do we truly surrender everything to God, or do we hold back the areas that feel most precious—especially our finances and possessions?

How do you find the strength to praise God in the darkest moments? True worship, fueled by trust in God’s unchanging character, transforms our struggles into a powerful testimony of hope and freedom.

How does knowing God more deeply transform your worship? True worship is a heartfelt response to who God is. The greater our revelation of God, the more vibrant and authentic our worship becomes, like a fire growing with added fuel.

Why were you born to worship? God created us to worship Him as our core identity, reflecting His glory, but sin led us to worship things like pleasure or power. Authentic worship restores our connection with God.

In this episode, Pastor Joe and Jamie open up about the fruit and blessing they’ve experienced through Life Groups. They share how choosing to go all in for the Church often means setting aside comfort and personal preferences in order to build real community.

What does it mean to live as a true worshiper in a world that demands your allegiance? In his message, Pastor Joe explores the unyielding faith of Daniel, urging believers to root their worship in a deep, scripturally-informed understanding of God's character. Through this compelling message, he challenges men and women alike to establish a resolute worship ethos that transforms beliefs into bold, unwavering actions, even in the face of life's fiercest trials.

Charlie Kirk's assassination stands as a sobering reminder of the cost of conviction. Pastor Trevor's sermon frames his martyrdom as both tragedy and a seed for revival. The call now is clear: courage over fear, truth over silence.

Are you holding back or giving your all to those around you? Pastor Trevor’s sermon emphasizes that true fulfillment comes from sacrificially investing in community, sharing our lives, burdens, and love to build a stronger, connected church.

What does it mean to have a faith so desperate that nothing can stop you from seeking Jesus? Pastor Joe's sermon, "Desperate Faith," explores a raw, unyielding trust that prioritizes Christ above all else, pushing past societal norms and personal barriers. It challenges us to cultivate an authentic, relentless faith that clings to Jesus in every crisis, no matter the cost.

In this first episode of Why Life Groups Matter, Pastor Trevor and Heidi share their journey of living surrendered and why Life Groups hold such deep personal value for them. They talk about the power of big church—gathering corporately—and small church—meeting together in homes. Together, these create a rhythm that fulfills our calling to love people well. This conversation is an inspiring reminder of why Life Groups are not just a program, but the heartbeat of our church.
