Glorious Way Church

In this message, James Buntrock, filling in for Pastor Greiner, teaches on taking charge of the authority God has given believers. He builds the case from Genesis, where dominion was first delegated to man, through the centurion's recognition of Jesus' authority, to the storm on the Sea of Galilee, using his own sailing background to illustrate how Jesus expected his disciples to handle the ship rather than wake him. He unpacks Psalm 8's picture of humanity crowned with glory and made a little lower than God himself, framing believers as reigning kings with delegated authority over their homes and families. He warns of the enemy's targeting of children and the covenant of marriage, shares a testimony of his daughter's car accident where peace and spoken faith carried the family through, and contrasts King Asa's fortified peacetime strength with David's recovery at Ziklag as two models of standing ready against attack.

In this message, John Greiner continues his series on the switch of faith, teaching from Mark 2 on the healing of the paralyzed man lowered through the roof by his four friends. He walks through the scene in vivid detail, the crowded house, the friends hauling their paralyzed companion up and cutting through the roof, and Jesus first forgiving the man's sins before healing him, framing faith as a switch that turns on the power of God. From there he draws out three more switches: love, showing how the friends' sacrifice and Jesus' forgiveness model a love that faith cannot work without; fellowship, urging believers not to withdraw from church community the way many did after COVID, comparing each member to a puzzle piece the picture is incomplete without; and praise, pointing to Paul and Silas singing in prison as an example of praise that invites God's presence even in hardship. 

In this Wednesday night message from Glorious Way, John Greiner preaches on being "increase-minded" from Isaiah 54, drawing on his own journey out of a poverty mindset after losing a business years ago. He traces the prophetic "words for the year" the church has received since 2023 (lifting the standard, power, milestones, and now, in 2026, new things), framing this season as a hinge point before an end-time harvest. Using the image of the barren woman in Isaiah who is told to sing before she sees any children, he calls the congregation to rejoice ahead of results rather than waiting for visible proof. He unpacks the tent metaphor from verse 2, enlarging the tent, lengthening the cords, and strengthening the stakes, as a picture of growth requiring greater accountability, deeper submission to authority, and a firmer anchor in Jesus.

In Anointed by Association, the message explores how the anointing flows through divine relationships, from Paul and Timothy's spiritual fatherhood to David's mighty men who committed themselves fully to his leadership. Personal stories illustrate the cost and reward of these connections, including a life changing dream interpreted by a mentor, and a touching moment of tenderness from a spiritual father learning to value the anointing on those under him. The teaching also acknowledges that not every divine association lasts forever, pointing to Paul and Barnabas as an example of a partnership that ran its course. 

In The Switch of Faith, the message opens in Mark 5 with the woman who had suffered an issue of blood for twelve years, showing how her faith became the "switch" that released God's power despite her weakness, status, and uncleanness. Stories from Kenneth Hagin's ministry and personal testimonies of healing and provision illustrate what can be gained through faith, and what can be lost through disorder or unbelief. From these examples comes a simple four step formula given to Hagin in 1953: say it, do it, receive it, tell it, a pattern for turning on the switch of faith in any situation.

Tonight's message centers on the question, "What would you have me to do?" Drawing from Moses at the burning bush and Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus, the message traces a pattern for encountering God's call: marvel in his presence, respond with availability, honor him, use the power he's given, and obey without hesitation. From Moses' doubts to Ananias' willingness to walk into a stranger's house on faith, these stories show that God meets people in their fear and uncertainty, then equips them for purposes bigger than themselves. 

On the heels of America's 250th celebration, this message traces the surprising history of "My Country 'Tis of Thee" and turns a familiar lyric into a fresh revelation: before freedom can ring, it must first reign. Rooted in Galatians 5:1 and its call to stand firm in the freedom Christ secured, the message unpacks five areas where that freedom must take hold this year: faith, health, finances, family, and voice. Along the way come reflections on Jubilee, the promise of a household saved, and the courage to speak truth in a culture that needs to hear it. A timely reminder that freedom isn't just something we celebrate, it's something we're called to walk in every day.

Ahead of Independence Day, this message is about remembering what God has done, for Israel and for this nation, so it can be passed down to the next generation. Drawing from Psalm 78, Psalm 103, and Exodus 3, it traces God's deliverance of the oppressed from Egypt through the American founding, tying the Mayflower Compact and the Declaration of Independence to that same pattern of a people crying out and God answering, then moves through Leviticus 25 and the idea of Jubilee, noting that America is currently in its fifth fifty year cycle, which leads into the shared death date of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson on the nation's 50th anniversary, John Quincy Adams calling the Declaration the nation's Ark of the Covenant, and a walk through the symbolism of the Great Seal, including the lesser known, more overtly biblical designs proposed by Franklin and Jefferson, before closing in Luke 4 and Galatians 5, connecting Jesus proclaiming liberty to the captives with the nation's own story of freedom, and calling for restoring religion and morality as the real foundation rather than adding more laws.

Respect the covenant tonight. Moses turned his eyes away from Egypt's wealth and pleasure, choosing instead to focus exclusively on God's promise, and that choice changed everything. That same pattern of respect traces through Scripture, from Moses at the burning bush to the twelve spies at the edge of the promised land, showing how faith always requires turning our gaze away from giants and circumstances and fixing it on the covenant keeper. Along the way, there's a word about wasted power in the church and a challenge to let go of whatever's grown tangled and unnecessary so God can bring what's new. Respecting the covenant isn't passive. It's a choice, made in faith, that opens the door to everything Jesus already paid for.

This message centers on a "daily heart inspection," using a house inspection analogy to explore how unseen cracks like bitterness, unforgiveness, and grudges can undermine a person's foundation and prayer life. Walking through the Lord's Prayer and the parable of the unforgiving servant, the teaching argues that forgiveness must be immediate and ongoing rather than delayed, since holding onto offense blocks spiritual growth and effective prayer. A practical framework, praise, repent, ask, and yield, is offered as a daily tool for self-examination, closing with the idea that a clean heart kept close to God is what allows him to keep revealing himself in fresh ways.

This message unpacks 2 Thessalonians' praise for a church whose faith grew exceedingly and whose love abounded, arguing the two must rise together through five practical keys: guarding what you listen to, acting on what you believe, praying consistently, following the inner witness of the Spirit, and choosing love even when community gets messy, illustrated through personal stories including a tense building search years ago that shows faith without corresponding action and love stays stagnant.

This message teaches that God leads believers through the Holy Spirit in practical, everyday ways rather than dramatic signs. Drawing from John 16 and Romans 8, it explains that the Holy Ghost guides through an inward witness, a “knowing” in the spirit, the inner voice of conscience, and sometimes direct prompting, especially as believers pray in tongues and stay rooted in Scripture. Using personal stories and ministry decisions, it shows how guidance often comes gradually, like waves that require patience and positioning, and how closed doors can be just as much direction as open ones. The central theme is learning to recognize subtle spiritual leading, trust it over emotions or circumstances, and stay connected to truth so decisions are made with confidence and long-term clarity.

This message centers on the power and authority in the name of Jesus, beginning with the story in Acts 3 where a man is instantly healed through faith. From there, it moves through scripture and real-life testimonies to show how that same power is still at work today, shaping lives through healing, breakthrough, and transformation. Along the way, it emphasizes identity in Christ, the authority given to believers, and the call to live with bold faith rather than hesitation or doubt. It closes with a strong reminder that the name of Jesus is not just something spoken, but something believers are meant to live and act in every day.

This message explores the connection between faith, liberty, and America’s history, tracing key moments from the nation’s founding through the Great Awakenings and the Civil War. Through stories of individuals such as Abraham Lincoln and John Peter Muhlenberg, it highlights how spiritual renewal, moral conviction, and perseverance have influenced both personal lives and the direction of the country. Along the way, it examines the relationship between faith, education, law, and culture, while addressing challenges that can weaken those foundations. At its heart, this is an encouraging reminder that lasting change begins with individuals who are willing to stand for their beliefs, remain engaged in their communities, and help inspire renewal in future generations.

In this message, the pastor brings an encouraging word about holding on to the promises God has given you. Starting from 2 Corinthians 1, he lays out the foundation that every promise God makes is a yes in Christ, no exceptions. From there he walks through the parable of the sower and uses it as a practical roadmap, looking at the three ways people tend to lose their promises along the way, whether they get stolen, scorched by hard circumstances, or slowly strangled by distractions and divided priorities. He also touches on the gap between praying and actually seeing the answer show up, and why that in-between season requires you to keep speaking the promise, stay focused, and resist the urge to quit. It's a straightforward, grounded message that's less about new revelation and more about the kind of steady, faithful posture that lets God's promises actually take root and bear fruit in your life.

In this message, the pastor digs into what it really means to pray with power and purpose. Drawing from James 5, Luke 18, and Isaiah, he makes the case that effective prayer isn't about begging or repeating yourself, it's about coming before God with a heartfelt, persistent faith rooted in his word. He walks through the difference between praying from your head versus praying from your heart, why consistency matters more than volume, and how praising God after you ask is just as important as the asking itself. He also spends some time on the role of the Holy Spirit, sharing how praying in tongues can take you beyond what your mind can figure out on its own and tap into something much bigger. It's a practical, energetic take on building a mature prayer life and learning to trust God even when the situation feels way too big to handle.

In this session, James Buntrock continues his four-part "Faith and Freedom" series, digging into how law and education were meant to be rooted in biblical principles. He traces the origins of the "separation of church and state" idea, revealing that the phrase never actually appears in the Constitution and that the cultural weight it carries today really comes down to a single Supreme Court case in 1947, one vote, one letter, one sentence. He also explores how dramatically the goals of American education have shifted since the founding era, and wraps things up with some inspiring stories about George Washington and General Patton and the role faith played in some of history's most pivotal moments.

In this fiery evening message, Pastor John Greiner introduces "the cry against," a form of Spirit-led prayer that goes beyond petition into active, voiced opposition against evil and injustice. Drawing from Jonah, 2 Chronicles, James, and Isaiah, he challenges believers to stop playing defense and start boldly crying out against corrupt institutions, stolen wages, political wickedness, and spiritual darkness. Weaving together biblical examples like Abijah and Jehoshaphat with personal stories and a vision of end-time wealth transfer, he calls the church to find its voice, get on God's side, and pray with the kind of earnest intensity that moves heaven and shifts nations.

In this energetic and conviction-driven message, Pastor John Greiner unpacks what it truly means to pray, not as a list of requests or a passive appeal to heaven, but as an active, covenant partnership with God. Drawing from Romans 8, 2 Corinthians, Ephesians 6, and the writings of John and James, he challenges believers to move beyond "baby faith" praying and step into their identity as able ministers of the New Covenant. Through personal stories, including a dramatic healing of his aunt in ICU and a Spirit-led encounter on a riverside trail, he illustrates how prayer can birth salvation, break spiritual blindness, and shift the course of nations. He closes with a stirring call to corporate, Spirit-led warfare prayer, reminding the church that God has already conquered the enemy and it is our job to enforce the terms of surrender.

In this first session of a multi-week series on America's forgotten founding history, we explore the miraculous and deeply Christian roots of the United States through artifacts, documents, and overlooked historical accounts. Drawing from the National Monument to the Forefathers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the message walks through the five foundational pillars the Pilgrims believed were essential to a free and just society: faith, morality, law, education, and liberty. From the Mayflower Compact's opening declaration "In the name of God, amen" to George Washington's providential escape at Long Island, to Benjamin Franklin's famous prayer address at the Constitutional Convention, the evidence presented makes a compelling case that this nation was not founded on secular ideals but on faith in the one true God. If you have ever been told that America's Christian heritage is a myth, this message will give you the history, the artifacts, and the confidence to say otherwise.

In this encouraging message, perseverance is explored through a deep study of Romans 8, revealing that true endurance comes not from human determination alone, but from the power of the Holy Spirit. Drawing on examples from sports, everyday life, and personal testimony, the message emphasizes living Spirit-led, trusting God as a loving Father, maintaining a strong prayer life, and keeping an eternal perspective. Listeners are reminded that they are called, empowered, and deeply loved by God, and that no challenge, setback, or opposition can separate them from His purpose or His love.

In this message, Joining Forces with God, we explore what it truly means to tap into the power of God through prayer and fellowship. Drawing from 1 John 1, John 15, and James 5, the message unpacks the idea that prayer is not just asking God for things, but entering into a living partnership with Him, what the New Testament calls koinonia. Through the imagery of the vine and branches, we see that bearing fruit requires abiding in Christ through a continued, heartfelt connection with God, and that this connection flows in three directions: with the Father, with fellow believers, and with your local church community. If you have been going it alone, this message is a compelling reminder that joining forces with God and others is not optional, it is the whole point.

In this message, In the Fullness of Time, we explore how God works behind the scenes through history, politics, language, and culture to set the stage for his plans. Drawing from Galatians 4, the message unpacks how the first-century world was uniquely prepared for Jesus through the Jewish sacrificial system, Greek philosophy, a universal language, and Roman roads, none of which were built with God in mind yet all of which served his purposes perfectly. Five practical ways to cooperate with God's redemption in your own life are offered, because your appointed time is coming.

In this motivating message, a compelling sermon on spiritual warfare unfolds through the story of Shammah, one of David's mighty men, who stood alone in a lentil field and fought off an entire army. Drawing from 2 Samuel, Ephesians, and 1 Corinthians, four key strategies are laid out for standing your ground against the enemy: position yourself in the middle of your field, defend what is yours without negotiation, kill the threat completely, and walk away with your great victory. Through vivid personal stories and bold, energetic delivery, the message makes clear that the devil is a thief with one job, and it is your job to make sure he does not get what belongs to you. If you are in the middle of a battle and feel like retreating, this message will fire you up, remind you of the weapons you already have, and challenge you to stand firm on the word until the victory is won.

In this energizing message, a powerful sermon on living a life on fire for God unfolds, using the story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal as a launching pad. Drawing from 2 Timothy, Hebrews, Ephesians, and Romans, six practical keys to maintaining your spiritual fire are explored: identifying yourself in Christ, stirring up the gift within you, recognizing what extinguishes your flame, maintaining your glow, allowing God's word to pierce and split you open, and staying awake so you can help wake others up. Through vivid illustrations like building a fire on New Year's Eve and the imagery of wet versus dry firewood, the message makes the case that your fire belongs to you and it is your responsibility to tend it. If you have been feeling spiritually dim or disconnected, this message will challenge you to stop compartmentalizing your faith and start burning bright wherever you go.

In this inspiring message, Pastor John delivers a powerful sermon on "The Praise Cure," exploring how consistent, intentional praise can transform circumstances and break through life's toughest moments. Drawing from scripture, he unpacks why praise is described as a sacrifice, because it requires overriding our natural tendency to complain or feel sorry for ourselves. Through vivid stories including Paul and Silas praising God at midnight in prison and a terminally ill evangelist who praised his way to a miraculous healing, Pastor John makes a compelling case that praise is not an emotion but a decision. If you are facing a health crisis, financial pressure, or simply a difficult season, this message will challenge you to open your mouth and let the high praises of God shift the atmosphere around you.

In this Sunday evening word from Glorious Way Church, 2 Corinthians 5 and Ezekiel 37 are brought together to reveal that every born-again believer has not only been raised to new life but has been given a ministry of reconciliation to help bring that same life to a broken and hurting world. Just as God breathed on the valley of dry bones and raised up an exceedingly great army, believers are being assembled, connected, and equipped to function as the body of Christ in the earth, not as spectators but as active participants in what God is doing. Drawing from the power of real community, the message calls the church to move beyond just occupying a seat and into genuine relationships where burdens are shared, truth is spoken, and love compels every interaction, knowing that a church walking in love and unity is the very thing God will use to bring revival to a generation desperate for hope.

In this third installment from Glorious Way Church, Matthew 8 and 1 Peter 2:24 are explored to build a bold case that healing is not something believers are waiting to receive but something they have already been given through the finished work of Jesus Christ. Rooted in the truth that "by his stripes you were healed," listeners are challenged to shift from a posture of seeking to one of standing on what the covenant already provides. Drawing from Mark 16, believers are commissioned as agents of healing, equipped with a message, a mandate, and a ministry to bring the healing power of Jesus to a sick and hurting world. Every believer, regardless of title or platform, is called to rise up, lay hands on the sick, and trust God to confirm his word with signs following.

In this powerful word from Glorious Way Church, Mark chapter 4 is unpacked to explore the lesson Jesus taught his disciples through the parable of the sower and the story of the storm on the sea. Using the theme of "2026: The Year of New Things," listeners are reminded that crossing over into what God has for them is not optional, and that storms along the way are simply tests of faith, not signs of failure. Just as Jesus declared "Let us cross over to the other side" with full authority and confidence, believers are encouraged to trust the word that has already been spoken over their lives and speak to every storm that rises against their breakthrough, knowing that getting to the other side is not just about personal blessing but about the lives that will be transformed because you showed up in faith.

In this Sunday night message, Pastor John delivers a deeply personal and faith-building word on "Courage at Crunch Time," drawn from John 16:33 and the story of Joshua stepping into leadership after Moses. Using his own raw, behind-the-scenes account of navigating church betrayal, losing a lease, and receiving a supernatural word from God in the middle of the night, he unpacks what it truly looks like to stand firm when everything around you is falling apart. His three practical keys are straightforward: stop listening to your flesh, stop listening to your reasonings, and instead anchor yourself to the spoken word of God and the witness of the Holy Spirit. The message is a reminder that crunch time is not a sign you missed God; it is often where God does his most defining work in you.

In this Mother's Day message, Pastor John continues his series on healing as a covenant right, diving into the source of sickness and what the Bible says about it. Drawing from Luke 13, Galatians 3, and 1 Corinthians 11, he makes the case that sickness originates with the devil, not God, and that believers are not sick people trying to get healed but healthy people resisting disease. He unpacks three key facts about the curse of sickness, challenges the idea that God uses illness to teach lessons, and closes with a sobering look at communion and self-examination, warning that receiving it carelessly can open the door to weakness and premature death. The takeaway is clear: know your covenant, walk in love, and choose life.

In this powerful Wednesday night message, Pastor John dives into "The Antidote for Lack," a practical, faith-filled guide for anyone who's ever felt financially cornered. Drawing from Deuteronomy 8 and Matthew 28, he unpacks four key principles: obeying God (especially in tithing), counting your blessings and taking honest inventory of what you have, being willing to give even under pressure, and trusting God to reveal hidden riches and open unexpected doors. All pointing to one truth: your breakthrough often begins the moment you refuse to let lack have the last word.

Pastor John focuses to the practical side of healing, breaking down the many different ways God has made His healing power available to believers. Drawing from James 5 and key New Testament passages, he explains why there's a big difference between praying for someone and praying over them, and why believers never need to beg God for what He's already provided. From anointing with oil, to laying on of hands, to the gifts of the Spirit, to intercession, to the raw power of the corporate anointing in a church service, Pastor John walks through each avenue with real-life stories that bring the teaching to life, including a dramatic hospital room encounter with his own aunt and a remarkable testimony about a man pulled back from the brink of death by persistent intercession in a hospital hallway. He also addresses those tender moments when someone goes to heaven despite everyone's best efforts, offering a perspective rooted in peace rather than defeat. If you've ever wondered why prayer for healing doesn't always look the same, this is the episode for you.

In this faith-filled message, Pastor John dives into the first installment of his series Healing: Our Covenant Right, making the case that physical healing isn't just a hope for believers, it's a purchased, guaranteed right under the New Covenant. Drawing from Matthew 8, 1 Peter 2, and Isaiah 53, he unpacks how Jesus literally bore our sicknesses and infirmities on the cross, meaning healing is already done, past tense. Pastor John challenges the congregation to stop seeing themselves as sick people trying to get healed, and start seeing themselves as healed people resisting sickness.

In this Wednesday night message, Pastor John pulls from Hebrews chapter 3 to lay out what it really means to let Jesus build you. Drawing on his 25 years as a home builder, he connects the construction process to how God works in our lives, clearing out the mess, laying the foundation, and adding structure over time. He walks through five keys to cooperating with that process, keeping a soft heart, banishing unbelief, staying connected to people who will speak truth into your life, resting in genuine faith, and holding fast to your confession. The bottom line is simple: Jesus is still building, and the question is whether we are going to let him.

In this encouraging message, Pastor John reminds us that hard times aren't a sign you're doing something wrong. They're actually a sign you're a threat. Drawing from Acts 14, where the Apostle Paul gets stoned, left for dead, and then walks back into town the very next day, the message is clear: keep on keeping on. Pastor John breaks down why tribulation is a normal part of the Christian life, how a strong local church and solid spiritual leadership help believers stay the course, and why the worst thing you can do in a trial is quit serving others. Packed with personal stories, practical action steps, and straight-from-the-Word encouragement, this episode will put some muscle and sinew back in your spiritual walk and remind you that if you don't quit, you simply cannot lose.
