This week at Kingdom Culture, guest soeaker Doug Rumbold continues our "Year of Boldness" series with a message titled "Shadows and Substance"In this message we learn True spiritual boldness requires believers to abandon a lukewarm, intellectually constrained faith in favor of total surrender to God's miraculous power. This week's scripture we go over:Acts 5:12-16 ESVNow many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon’s Portico.None of the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high esteem.And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and womenso that they even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.🔥 Take Your Next Step:📖 Sermon Notes: CLICK HERE💬 Receive the Sermon Notes:Text BOLDNESS to 94000🙏 Support the Mission – Kingdom Culture PhoenixText GIVEKC to 94000🤝 Start Your Journey – KC ConnectText KCCONNECT to 94000About Kingdom Culture PhoenixKingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus in Word and Spirit.For more information, visit:https://www.kingdomculturephx.com

This week at Kingdom Culture, Pastor Eric continues our "The Year of Boldness" series with a message titled "What does it really mean to fear God?"In this message we learn that true fear of God is not about terror, but about a total heart surrender that replaces hypocrisy with authentic intimacy and boldness. This transformation shifts a believer from seeking the approval of men to living in the manifest glory of God, where spiritual apathy and rebellion are traded for acceptable worship and generational confidence. This week's scripture we go over:Acts 5:1-11 ESVBut a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of propertyand with his wife’s knowledge he kept back for himself some of the proceeds and brought only a part of it and laid it at the apostles’ feet.But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land?While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to man but to God.”When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and breathed his last. And great fear came upon all who heard of it.The young men rose and wrapped him up and carried him out and buried him.After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.And Peter said to her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” And she said, “Yes, for so much.”But Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”Immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. When the young men came in they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.And great fear came upon the whole church and upon all who heard of these things.🔥 Take Your Next Step:📖 Sermon Notes: CLICK HERE💬 Receive the Sermon Notes:Text BOLDNESS to 94000🙏 Support the Mission – Kingdom Culture PhoenixText GIVEKC to 94000🤝 Start Your Journey – KC ConnectText KCCONNECT to 94000About Kingdom Culture PhoenixKingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus in Word and Spirit.For more information, visit:https://www.kingdomculturephx.com

This week at Kingdom Culture, Pastor Eric continues our "The Year of Boldness" series with a message titled "How To Build A Church of Consequence"In this message we learn that the focus is on transforming the believer from a passive observer into a vessel of "great power and great grace," where sharing one's resources and personal testimony becomes the primary catalyst for community restoration and supernatural impact. This week's scripture we go over:Acts 4:33-38 ESVNow the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common. And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was soldand laid it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need. Thus Joseph, who was also called by the apostles Barnabas (which means son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.🔥 Take Your Next Step:📖 Sermon Notes: CLICK HERE💬 Receive the Sermon Notes:Text BOLDNESS to 94000🙏 Support the Mission – Kingdom Culture PhoenixText GIVEKC to 94000🤝 Start Your Journey – KC ConnectText KCCONNECT to 94000About Kingdom Culture PhoenixKingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus in Word and Spirit.For more information, visit:https://www.kingdomculturephx.com

This week at Kingdom Culture, Pastor Eric continues our "The Year of Boldness" series with a special Easter Sunday message titled "There is hope because of an empty tomb!"In this message we learn how aligning with God's sovereignty and practicing bold, persistent prayer modeled after the early church, believers shift from self-centered living to being empowered vessels for the Holy Spirit to perform signs and wonders. This week's scripture we go over:Acts 4:23-31 ESVWhen they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them.And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, “Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in themwho through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said by the Holy Spirit, “‘Why did the Gentiles rage, and the peoples plot in vain?The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers were gathered together, against the Lord and against his Anointed’for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israelto do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place.And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldnesswhile you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.🔥 Take Your Next Step:📖 Sermon Notes: CLICK HERE💬 Receive the Sermon Notes:Text BOLDNESS to 94000🙏 Support the Mission – Kingdom Culture PhoenixText GIVEKC to 94000🤝 Start Your Journey – KC ConnectText KCCONNECT to 94000About Kingdom Culture PhoenixKingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus in Word and Spirit.For more information, visit:https://www.kingdomculturephx.com

This week at Kingdom Culture, Pastor Eric continues our "The Year of Boldness" series with a special Easter Sunday message titled "There is hope because of an empty tomb!"In this message we learn how a genuine encounter with the risen Christ shifts one's faith from merely acknowledging historical facts to a total life surrendered that produces visible, bold transformation. This week's scripture we go over:Psalm 22:1-31 ESVAnd as they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them, greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. And they arrested them and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening. But many of those who had heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to about five thousand. On the next day their rulers and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem, with Annas the high priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family. And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, “By what power or by what name did you do this?” Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders, if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well...🔥 Take Your Next Step:📖 Sermon Notes: CLICK HERE💬 Receive the Sermon Notes:Text BOLDNESS to 94000🙏 Support the Mission – Kingdom Culture PhoenixText GIVEKC to 94000🤝 Start Your Journey – KC ConnectText KCCONNECT to 94000About Kingdom Culture PhoenixKingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus in Word and Spirit.For more information, visit:https://www.kingdomculturephx.com

This week at Kingdom Culture, Pastor Eric continues our "The Year of Boldness" series with a special Good Friday message titled "Friday was good because we are not."In this message we uncover how Jesus endured the agony of total separation from the Father on the cross to bridge the gap created by human sin, ensuring believers never have to experience that isolation. This week's scripture we go over:Psalm 22:1-31 ESVMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest. Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.In you our fathers trusted; they trusted, and you delivered them. To you they cried and were rescued; in you they trusted and were not put to shame. But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the people. All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads “He trusts in the LORD; let him deliver him; let him rescue him, for he delights in him! ”Yet you are he who took me from the womb; you made me trust you at my mother’s breasts. On you was I cast from my birth, and from my mother’s womb you have been my God...🔥 Take Your Next Step:📖 Sermon Notes: CLICK HERE💬 Receive the Sermon Notes:Text BOLDNESS to 94000🙏 Support the Mission – Kingdom Culture PhoenixText GIVEKC to 94000🤝 Start Your Journey – KC ConnectText KCCONNECT to 94000About Kingdom Culture PhoenixKingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus in Word and Spirit.For more information, visit:https://www.kingdomculturephx.com

This week at Kingdom Culture, Pastor Eric continues our "The Year of Boldness" series with a message titled "Bold Witness"In this message we uncover how true spiritual healing requires shifting your focus from the miracle itself to a bold, consistent faith rooted entirely in the person and power of Jesus Christ. This week's scripture we go over:Acts 3:11-26 ESVWhile he clung to Peter and John, all the people, utterly astounded, ran together to them in the portico called Solomon’s.And when Peter saw it he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we have made him walk?The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him.But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to youand you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses.And his name—by faith in his name—has made this man strong whom you see and know, and the faith that is through Jesus has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all.“And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers...🔥 Take Your Next Step:📖 Sermon Notes: CLICK HERE💬 Receive the Sermon Notes:Text BOLDNESS to 94000🙏 Support the Mission – Kingdom Culture PhoenixText GIVEKC to 94000🤝 Start Your Journey – KC ConnectText KCCONNECT to 94000About Kingdom Culture PhoenixKingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus in Word and Spirit.For more information, visit:https://www.kingdomculturephx.com

This week at Kingdom Culture, Pastor Eric continues our "The Year of Boldness" series with a message titled "Bold Faith"In this message we double down on bold faith not being about personal willpower, but a courageous obedience rooted in a complete trust in God’s character rather than one's own circumstances. This week's scripture we go over:Acts 3:1-10 ESVNow Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple.Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms.And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.”And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them.But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!”And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.And leaping up, he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.And all the people saw him walking and praising Godand recognized him as the one who sat at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, asking for alms. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.🔥 Take Your Next Step:📖 Sermon Notes: CLICK HERE💬 Receive the Sermon Notes:Text BOLDNESS to 94000🙏 Support the Mission – Kingdom Culture PhoenixText GIVEKC to 94000🤝 Start Your Journey – KC ConnectText KCCONNECT to 94000About Kingdom Culture PhoenixKingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus in Word and Spirit.For more information, visit:https://www.kingdomculturephx.com

This week at Kingdom Culture Phoenix, CEO of Choices Pregnancy Centers of Arizona, Marc Burmich continues our series “The Year of Boldness” with a message titled “The Devoted Church 2”.In this message, Marc calls for a "Bold Church" to resist cultural pressures by remaining rooted in conviction of the Holy Spirit and standing firm when society demands conformity, specifically regarding the normalization of abortion. Rather than engaging in political anger, the Marc advocates for a Christ-like approach that balances clear truth with deep, unconditional love and active support for those in need.🔥 Take Your Next Step:📖 Sermon Notes: CLICK HERE💬 Receive the Sermon Notes:Text BOLDNESS to 94000🙏 Support the Mission – Kingdom Culture PhoenixText GIVEKC to 94000🤝 Start Your Journey – KC ConnectText KCCONNECT to 94000About Kingdom Culture PhoenixKingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus in Word and Spirit.For more information, visit:https://www.kingdomculturephx.com

This week at Kingdom Culture Phoenix Guest Speaker Sloan Adams continues in our series The Year Of Boldness with a message titled "The Devoted Church".In this message we learn that by transforming routine religious activities into devoted daily habits—specifically in teaching, fellowship, prayer, and shared meals—a crowd of individuals is forged into a sacrificial family that moves from merely attending church to being the church. This shift in posture creates a culture of radical generosity and joy, allowing God to supernaturally grow the community as they prioritize the Giver over the gifts.Acts 2:42-47 ESVAnd they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles.And all who believed were together and had all things in common.And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous heartspraising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.🔥 Take Your Next Step:📖 Sermon Notes: CLICK HERE💬 Receive the Sermon Notes:Text BOLDNESS to 94000🙏 Support the Mission – Kingdom Culture PhoenixText GIVEKC to 94000🤝 Start Your Journey – KC ConnectText KCCONNECT to 94000About Kingdom Culture PhoenixKingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus in Word and Spirit.For more information, visit:https://www.kingdomculturephx.com

This week at Kingdom Culture Phoenix, Pastor Eric continues our series “The Year of Boldness” with a message titled “Spirit Filled Church”.In this message we learn that true spiritual transformation requires anchoring your personal experiences in the bold doctrine of Scripture to ensure your life is built on truth rather than fleeting emotions. By testing every feeling and desire against the Word of God, you move from being a curious observer to a Spirit-filled messenger who walks in complete, courageous obedience.Acts 2:12-41 ESVAnd all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”But others mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.”But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words.For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel“‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreamseven on my male servants and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.And I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapor of smokethe sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves knowthis Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.For David says concerning him, “‘I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand that I may not be shakentherefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; my flesh also will dwell in hope.For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, or let your Holy One see corruption.You have made known to me the paths of life; you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’“Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his thronehe foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption...CONT'D🔥 Take Your Next Step:📖 Sermon Notes: CLICK HERE💬 Receive the Sermon Notes: Text BOLDNESS to 94000🙏 Support the Mission – Kingdom Culture PhoenixText GIVEKC to 94000🤝 Start Your Journey – KC ConnectText KCCONNECT to 94000About Kingdom Culture PhoenixKingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus in Word and Spirit.For more information, visit:https://www.kingdomculturephx.com

This week at Kingdom Culture Phoenix, Pastor Eric continues our series “The Year of Boldness” with a message titled “Spirit Filled Church”.In this message, we explore how true spiritual boldness transforms you when you fully surrender your prideful expectations and realize God’s calling relies on His glory rather than your perfection. By shifting from an entitled consumer to a trusting child of God, you are freed from the pressure of 'making sense' and empowered to walk in radical, courageous faith even before you see the outcome.Scripture:Acts 1:12-25 ESVThen they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away. And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James. All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers. In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (the company of persons was in all about 120) and said“Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. For he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry.”(Now this man acquired a field with the reward of his wickedness, and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out.And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)“ For it is written in the Book of Psalms, “‘May his camp become desolate, and let there be no one to dwell in it’; and “‘Let another take his office.’ So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection.” And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.”🔥 Take Your Next Step📖 Sermon Notes: CLICK HERE💬 Receive the Sermon Notes: Text BOLDNESS to 94000🙏 Support the Mission – Kingdom Culture PhoenixText GIVEKC to 94000🤝 Start Your Journey – KC ConnectText KCCONNECT to 94000About Kingdom Culture PhoenixKingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus in Word and Spirit.For more information, visit:https://www.kingdomculturephx.com

Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.🔑 Key Takeaways1. Boldness is not optional for ChristiansBeing a witness for Jesus is not a special calling for a few, but a command for every follower of Christ. If you follow Jesus, you are sent.“You will be my witnesses…” (Acts 1:8)2. Boldness comes from the Holy Spirit, not personalityBoldness is not confidence, charisma, or extroversion. It is Spirit-empowered obedience.You don’t need more courage you need the power of the Holy Spirit.3. God cares more about the mission than our curiosityJesus redirects the disciples from times and seasons to purpose and power. What God is doing through us now matters more than what we want to know about the future.4. The mission is global and urgentJesus left the church with one task:Make disciples of all nations (panta ta ethne)This includes the people you see every day, not just distant nations.5. The church is a sent people, not a gathered audienceThe ekklesia is not spectators it’s an assembly sent on mission. Church is not where the mission ends; it’s where it begins.6. Fear, bad theology, and sin silence our witnessChristians often don’t witness because of:Wrong beliefs about church and callingLack of confidence in the gospelLiving in bondage instead of freedomComfort-driven church cultureNone of these are solved by trying harder only by surrender and obedience.7. Presence and proclamation must go togetherPresence without proclamation is confusingProclamation without presence is unbelievablePeople need to see the gospel and hear the gospel.8. Eternity is at stakeWhat we do with our time, influence, and opportunities matters eternally. Jesus is coming back and He will ask what we did with what He entrusted to us.9. The gospel is worth the costLosing comfort, approval, or convenience is nothing compared to gaining what cannot be lost.“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”10. The harvest is ready—the question is obedienceThe problem isn’t a lack of harvest. The problem is a lack of laborers willing to step out in boldness.📲 Want to grow deeper?• KC Connect – Discover how to hear from God + live your calling.Text KCCONNECT to 94000 or  CLICK HERE.• Sermon Notes – Dive deeper into Scripture + takeaways.

Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.🔑 Key Takeaways✅ You don’t choose God’s direction, but you do choose your response. Mary couldn’t control the calling, but she chose obedience, haste, and praise.✅  Those eager for a move of God keep showing up in prayer and obedience. Mary arose with haste faith moves, it doesn’t stall.✅  God’s invitation always brings a choice: belief or excuses. Mary and Hannah said yes; Sarah and Zechariah allowed their reality to limit their faith.✅  There is blessing attached to giving God your “yes.” Obedience positions you for fulfillment, joy, and confirmation.✅  Faith-filled obedience often requires uncomfortable journeys. Mary traveled far while carrying uncertainty—faith doesn’t wait for clarity.✅  The Holy Spirit confirms what God is doing when we walk in faith. Elizabeth is filled, John leaps, and the gospel is proclaimed before Jesus is born.✅  What distinguishes a believer is not behavior, but Spirit-filling. Boldness, praise, and obedience flow from a life filled with the Holy Spirit.✅  Praise belongs in the gap between promise and fulfillment. Mary magnified God before everything made sense.✅  Praise re-centers your soul and aligns your spirit with God’s purposes. Mary worships with her emotions (psyche) and her inner being (pneuma).✅  God’s interruptions are often His greatest blessings. Mary blesses God for disrupting her plans.✅  God exalts the humble and overturns human power structures. The proud are scattered, the hungry are filled, and the lowly are lifted.✅  Kairos moments demand intentional responses. You may not choose the moment, but you always choose your posture.📲 Want to grow deeper?• KC Connect – Discover how to hear from God + live your calling.Text KCCONNECT to 94000 or  CLICK HERE.• Sermon Notes – Dive deeper into Scripture + takeaways.

Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.🔑 Key Takeaways When “Now” Becomes an IdolHoliness requires waiting. Saying YES to God often means resisting the urge to act on NOW.Impatience distorts trust. When we refuse to wait on God, we replace faith with control.Unsubmitted desire becomes idolatry. What isn’t surrendered to God will eventually rule us.Idols are often created from good things used wrongly. “Now” becomes dangerous when it replaces obedience.Mercy is released through intercession. God responds to surrendered hearts that stand in the gap.Broken obedience leads to broken trust. Compromise always costs more than it promises.Leadership without holiness creates chaos. Where there is no YES to God, the flesh takes over.Holiness demands decision. Choosing God’s side requires courage and clarity.Delayed obedience is still disobedience. God honors a surrendered YES, not rushed action.True holiness is choosing God’s will over personal urgency. Holiness is saying YES to God even when my heart is screaming NOW.📲 Want to grow deeper?• KC Connect – Discover how to hear from God + live your calling.Text KCCONNECT to 94000 or  CLICK HERE.• Sermon Notes – Dive deeper into Scripture + takeaways.

Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.🔑 Key Takeaways🕊️ Understanding HolinessHoliness isn’t earned it’s imparted through Christ.Holiness is love in action loving what God loves and hating what He hates.Holiness means being set apart for God’s purposes.Holiness flows from relationship, not rules it’s the result of encountering God, not striving harder.🦊 The “Foxes” That Destroy Holiness“Little foxes spoil the vineyards.” (Song of Solomon 2:15) Small compromises erode holiness over time.1. The Fox of Sexual ImmoralitySexual immorality distorts God’s design for covenant love.It enters subtly—through lust, fantasy, pornography, or compromise.Kill it by: confession, starving temptation, walking by the Spirit, protecting your covenant, and honoring marriage.2. The Fox of False ReligionFalse religion distorts or adds to the Gospel.It appears as inclusive religion, counterfeit Christianity, or demonic deception.Kill it by: learning sound doctrine, memorizing Scripture, and living to please God—not people.3. The Fox of Hard-HeartednessA hard heart leads to pride, judgment, and hypocrisy.Kill it by: serving others, learning from compassionate believers, and expanding your world through mission and empathy.4. The Fox of GreedGreed grows from fear—of not having enough, not being provided for, or not being enough.Kill it by: cultivating stewardship, practicing generosity, and asking God how to use His resources.5. The Fox of DishonestyDishonesty destroys trust and weakens holiness.Kill it by: walking in vulnerability, celebrating honesty, and choosing humility over pride.💡 Core PrinciplesSmall compromises lead to spiritual erosion.True holiness requires daily vigilance.Holiness thrives where honesty, love, and surrender abound.Killing the foxes makes room for the fruit of holiness to grow.📲 Want to grow deeper?• KC Connect – Discover how to hear from God + live your calling.Text KCCONNECT to 94000 or  CLICK HERE.• Sermon Notes – Dive deeper into Scripture + takeaways.

Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.Pastor Biedel talks about how God is perfectly holy set apart, pure, and righteous. His holiness defines justice, law, and love, as seen in Exodus 21, where His moral order shapes daily life. Because God is holy, He calls His people to be holy too: “Be holy, for I am holy” (Leviticus 11:44–45).Holiness means being set apart for God not only avoiding sin but reflecting His character in conduct, thought, and heart. It’s both a command and a calling—our duty, honor, and joy.True holiness isn’t passive; it’s an active pursuit through grace. We “press on” toward Christ (Philippians 3:14), allowing God to refine us like gold (Proverbs 17:3). Without holiness, “no one will see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14).🔑 Key TakeawaysGod is holy.He calls us to holiness.Holiness is both separation from sin and dedication to God.Now is the time to seek the Lord and let His Spirit make us holy in an unholy world (Hosea 10:12).📲 Want to grow deeper?• KC Connect – Discover how to hear from God + live your calling.Text KCCONNECT to 94000 or  CLICK HERE.• Sermon Notes – Dive deeper into Scripture + takeaways.

Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.🔑 Key TakeawaysGod’s laws are an expression of His love.He gives His people structure and boundaries to protect them and help them live differently from the world.The Law reveals both God’s holiness and our need for His grace.God’s heart has always been for freedom.Israel’s laws on servanthood were meant to protect dignity and prevent abuse—not to promote slavery.God reminds His people that He is the one who brought them out of bondage.True servanthood is born from love, not obligation.The Hebrew servant who chose to stay with his master (Exodus 21:5–6) mirrors Jesus, who willingly became a servant for our sake.Freedom in Christ leads us to serve God out of love, not duty.God’s law upholds justice and compassion.The instructions protected the poor, women, and vulnerable from exploitation.Holiness is never about control—it’s about care, fairness, and dignity.The Law points us to Jesus.The Law couldn’t save anyone—it showed humanity’s need for a Savior.Only Jesus can set us free from the bondage of sin. (Romans 8:3; Ephesians 2:8–9)Freedom is both a gift and a calling.We have been set free from sin to become servants of Christ. (Romans 6:22)As followers of Jesus, we’re called to help others find that same freedom—spiritually and physically.Holiness and freedom go hand in hand.Living set apart from the world leads to genuine freedom in God.At Kingdom Culture, we operate in forgiveness and freedom reflecting God’s heart to a broken world.Main Idea: God’s laws were given not to enslave His people but to set them apart, protect them, and point them to the ultimate freedom found in Jesus Christ.📲 Want to grow deeper?• KC Connect – Discover how to hear from God + live your calling.Text KCCONNECT to 94000 or  CLICK HERE.• Sermon Notes – Dive deeper into Scripture + takeaways.

Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.🔑 Key Takeaways1. Taking God’s Name = Carrying His Identity“Take” (נָשָׂא / nasa) means to lift, bear, or carry.To take God’s name is to bear His identity, not just speak His name.In Christ, we are given a new identity as God’s children. (2 Cor. 5:17)2. God Writes His Name on What Belongs to HimAdoption → we are chosen children. (Eph. 1:5–7)Redemption → bought with a price. (1 Cor. 6:20)Marriage → Christ and the Church. (Eph. 5:25–28)We uniquely bear God’s image and His name.3. What It Means to Take His Name in Vain“In vain” = empty, without purpose.Examples:Wanting the benefits, but not the requirements.Attaching His name to our own agenda.Practicing rituals without His presence. (Matt. 7:21–23)4. Signs You Are Carrying His Name WellPeople see God when they know you.Your life bears spiritual fruit.Your faith multiplies in others.5. What To Do if You’ve Carried His Name in VainBe real – Walk humbly, love mercy, do justice. (Mic. 6:8; Eph. 5:1–2)Honor others – See them as image-bearers of God. (Jas. 3:9)Come to Jesus – Receive rest, not condemnation. (Matt. 11:28)To take God’s name is to carry His character and identity in the world. We honor His name by living in a way that reflects who He is.📲 Want to grow deeper?• KC Connect – Discover how to hear from God + live your calling.Text KCCONNECT to 94000 or  CLICK HERE.• Sermon Notes – Dive deeper into Scripture + takeaways.

Moses Needed HelpMoses was overwhelmed trying to serve everyone by himself (v.13).Israel had hundreds of thousands of people — leadership had to expand.B. God Wanted to Do Something GreaterThis shift in leadership wasn’t just practical — it was preparation for something bigger: the giving of the Law and the formation of a nation.“This story paves the way for the giving of the law... and ultimately the rule of law itself.”– Tim Chester✅ What It Means for Us (Now):A. We Need Your HelpMinistry is too great to be done by a few. Ephesians 4:11–12 – The role of leaders is to equip the saints to do the work.When everyone serves, the body functions best.B. We Need Your Help So God Can Do Something GreaterActs 6 shows how delegation of responsibility leads to church growth.You stepping up makes room for others to hear the Word, be served, and be saved. Matthew 16:18 – God’s Church will prevail when we build it together.“We will never do anything more significant with our lives than partnering with God to bring His kingdom on earth.” ✅ What It Means for You (Personally):A. You Will Need HelpTrying to lead or live out your faith alone will burn you out.God designed community to carry burdens together. James 5:16 – “Pray for one another, that you may be healed.”B. You Will Need Help So God Can Do Something GreaterGod’s calling for your life involves others.Leadership and obedience require both humility and teamwork.Challenge Question:Are you carrying too much alone… or are you missing your opportunity to carry something with others?📲 Want to grow deeper?• KC Connect – Discover how to hear from God + live your calling.Text KCCONNECT to 94000 or  CLICK HERE.• Sermon Notes – Dive deeper into Scripture + takeaways.

Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.Being presence-driven isn’t a strategy for a better life. It is the pathway to a holy life. This week Pastor Eric continues in Exodus 17: 1-7. ✅ A Test in the WildernessExodus 17:1 (ESV) "...They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink."Rephidim means "resting place" — yet the people found no rest there.They forgot to be grateful for what God had already provided.Gratitude softens the heart.When we forget gratitude, our hearts harden. ✅ The Danger of Blame & QuarrelingExodus 17:2 (ESV) "Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, 'Give us water to drink.'”Quarrel (רִיב - rîv): Hostility and opposition.Israel’s sin:Demanded God's provisionDoubted God's protectionDenied God's presenceAre we guilty of putting an “Or else…” ultimatum on God?Blame gives us a false sense of control when life feels out of control. ✅ Accusation from a Place of LackExodus 17:3 (ESV) "...Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us... with thirst?"The things we thirst for often become the evidence we use to accuse God.Instead of accusation, here's how to respond when we feel lack:Gratitude: Thank God out loud for His past provisions.Remembrance: Recall and speak where He has answered before.Declaration: Speak Scripture to declare who God is.Faith: Borrow faith from the Bible, community testimonies, and your own story.✅ God Provides Even in Our AccusationExodus 17:4-6 (ESV) "Behold, I will stand before you... strike the rock, and water shall come out of it."God’s mercy: He responds not with punishment, but with provision.Jesus is the rock.John 7:37-38 (ESV): "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink... out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."On the cross, Jesus was struck — and from His side flowed the living water we need.✅ The Real Question of the HeartExodus 17:7 (ESV) "Is the LORD among us or not?"This is always the question behind our grumbling and doubt.The answer is always: Yes, He is.Trusting God is the way we walk in holiness.

Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.Burnout happens when we idolize what we do and ignore who we’re created to be. The Sabbath isn’t just about what we do or don’t do—it’s about who we worship. This week Pastor Eric teaches  out of Exodus 16 and explains what is a Sabbath and how to keep it Holy.🔑 Key Takeaways✅ Sabbath Is God’s Gift of Rest📖 Exodus 16:22–23 God commanded His people to prepare on the sixth day so they could cease and rest on the seventh.🕊️ Definition (שׁבת - Shabbat): To cease, stop, be absent, rest, celebrate. Sabbath rest doesn’t happen by accident. You have to build it into your life.✅ Rest Flows From Identity, Not PerformanceChristianity isn’t about self-improvement (you working on you). It’s about spiritual transformation—God working in you.There are three key differences between a slave and a child:SlaveChild of GodWorks to earn approval | Lives from already being approved (Gal 4:6–7)Strives for provision | Trusts in the Father’s provision (Rom 8:14–17)Runs away in trouble | Runs to the Father in trouble (1 John 3:1–2) ✅ Sabbath Is a Faith Step, Not a Religious Rule📖 Exodus 16:24–26 God preserved what they prepared ahead of time—and no worms or stench this time.Ceasing work for a day declares: “God is my Provider.”The Sabbath refills the four key tanks in our lives:🏃 Physical💭 Mental💓 Emotional🙏 Spiritual✅ What Sabbath Practically Looks Like:Dedicated time in God’s presence (Word, worship, prayer)Rest from physical laborRest from mental stress/workMeal with family and communityReflect on God’s faithfulness and provision✅ Sabbath Is a Creation Ordinance📖 Exodus 16:27–30 Some still went out to gather—but there was nothing. Disobedience led to lack, not abundance.The blessing of giving your life to Jesus is found in:1. What you gain2. What you loseSabbath reminds us: God provides what we need when we trust His rhythm.✅ A Legacy of Trust📖 Exodus 16:31–36 The manna was to be kept as a reminder of God’s provision for future generations.When you practice Sabbath as a family, you declare to your children: “We can rest in the finished work of Jesus because God takes care of us.”📲 Want to grow deeper?• KC Connect – Discover how to hear from God + live your calling.Text KCCONNECT to 94000 or  CLICK HERE.• Sermon Notes – Dive deeper into Scripture + takeaways.

Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.This week Pastor Eric dives into Exodus 16:9- 21, he shares how Christianity isn’t just about escaping hell but it’s about entering into a daily, personal relationship with Jesus through the Holy Spirit.🔑 Key Takeaways✅ God Invites You to Come Near – Not Because of You, But Because of HimGod hears our complaints but still calls us close.His holiness, not our worthiness, is the reason we can approach Him.Hardships may be God's tool to sanctify and prepare us. ✅ God Reveals His Glory Even When We Don’t Deserve ItThe “glory of the Lord” (Kābôd) appeared in their wilderness.God graciously provides signs and wonders despite grumbling.Jesus is the ultimate revelation of God's glory.✅ Daily Encounters with God Are EssentialManna symbolizes God's daily provision.A "daily encounter" = intentional time in worship, prayer, Scripture, and response.Parents should model this for their children.✅ Obedience to God Brings Wholeness – Partial Obedience Does NotGod gave specific instructions for gathering manna.Disobedience led to corruption (manna spoiled).Obedience is not legalism—it’s the pathway to life and holiness.✅ Holiness Is a Daily Journey, Not a One-Time DecisionManna had to be gathered morning by morning.God designed us to depend on Him daily, not occasionally.Holiness is cultivated through consistent relationship with GodThe secret to walking in holiness daily is to respond to God by drawing near through repentance and faith, to walk in obedience as He directs not as culture or comfort dictates and to encounter Him daily through His Word, prayer, and the Holy Spirit.📲 Want to grow deeper?• KC Connect – Discover how to hear from God + live your calling.Text KCCONNECT to 94000 or  CLICK HERE.• Sermon Notes – Dive deeper into Scripture + takeaways.

Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.In this week’s message, Pastor Eric explores Exodus 16, where Israel’s complaints in the wilderness reveal how quickly we lose sight of God’s past faithfulness when things get difficult. Despite their grumbling, God responds with mercy, providing manna from heaven and reminding us that gratitude and obedience invite His presence, while a complaining spirit grieves the Holy Spirit.🔑 Key Takeaways✅ Grumbling Grieves the Holy SpiritComplaining and bitterness replace faith and gratitude, which deeply grieve God's Spirit (Ephesians 4:30-31).✅ God Still Provides in Our RebellionDespite Israel’s complaints, God graciously gives manna and meat, showing His patience and provision.✅ Sanctification Through HardshipGod uses the wilderness to test, refine, and sanctify His people, preparing them for their purpose.✅ Obedience Is the Response to GraceReceiving God's provision (like manna) comes with a call to walk in obedience and trust.✅ Gratitude Pleases the SpiritThankfulness, praise, and trust even in lack invite the Holy Spirit’s presence and power.✅ Looking Back Fondly on Bondage Is DangerousDesiring Egypt (sinful past) shows spiritual immaturity and offends the Spirit who leads us into freedom.✅ God’s Ultimate Provision Is ChristThe manna foreshadows Jesus, the true Bread of Life, freely given but requiring daily, faithful reception.Even when the Israelites complained in the wilderness, God responded with grace and provision, showing that He is patient, faithful, and uses hardship to grow our trust and dependence on Him.📲 Want to grow deeper?• KC Connect – Discover how to hear from God + live your calling.Text KCCONNECT to 94000 or  CLICK HERE.• Sermon Notes – Dive deeper into Scripture + takeaways.

Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.This week Pastor Eric teaches on how God uses the wilderness to sanctify us, transforming our bitterness into healing when we trust and obey Him. That true worship continues beyond the music, through hardship, and into His faithful provision.🔑 Key Takeaways:✅ Worship doesn’t end when the music stops—true worship continues in the wilderness when things get hard.✅ Bitterness is the result of unmet expectations, and it can blind us to God’s goodness if left unchecked.✅ Sanctification is the process God leads us through after salvation—He uses hardship to purify our hearts and transform us.✅ The waters of Marah reflect the heart of Israel—bitter and broken—until God intervenes with a healing act (the log), symbolizing Christ’s cross.✅ God tests us in the wilderness to teach us to listen and obey, leading to healing and spiritual wholeness (Jehovah-Rapha).✅ Elim represents God’s provision after the testing—a reminder that He brings refreshment and rest to those who follow Him through the hard places.Takeaway:God meets us in our bitterness and transforms it into sweetness—just as He turned the bitter waters of Marah into drinkable water. He can heal our hearts, restore our hope, and lead us to place of refreshing when we trust Him through the wilderness.📲 Want to grow deeper?• KC Connect – Discover how to hear from God + live your calling.Text KCCONNECT to 94000 or  CLICK HERE.• Sermon Notes – Dive deeper into Scripture + takeaways.

Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.This week we continue with Part 4 of our Year of Holiness (Holiness Through Worship) where Pastor Eric explains how Worship is the ultimate purpose of our souls meant to be vertical, fully directed to God, and not to entertain or please people. In Exodus 15, Miriam leads bold, communal worship that celebrates God’s victory, reminding us that true worship humbles us, connects us to His presence, and anchors us in His strength through every trial.🔑 Key Takeaways✅Worship is Your Life’s PurposeYou were created to worship God and enjoy His presence forever.Worship connects your soul to God and gives a taste of eternal fulfillment now.✅ Vertical Worship Focuses on God, Not PeopleWorship designed to entertain people becomes idolatry.True worship exalts God’s glory over our personal preferences or emotions.✅ Repetition in Worship is Powerful and IntentionalGod delights in repetition—it forms our hearts, just like a loving Father repeating truth to His children.Scripture models repetition to shape belief (e.g., “Holy, Holy, Holy,” “His love endures forever”).✅ Worship is a Weapon in the Face of PursuitExpect opposition when you begin following Jesus, especially from the flesh, culture, and spiritual attack.Worship helps you stand firm on God’s solid ground even in the midst of struggle.✅ God Makes a Way Through, Not Around, the SeaBelievers still face difficulty, but God gives them dry ground to walk on—stability in chaos.The key difference is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of God’s support.✅ Miriam Models Bold, Prophetic WorshipShe worships with her whole body, uses music, and invites others into the experience.She leads prophetically, declaring who God is and what He has done.✅ Vertical Worship Changes the AtmosphereIt invites God’s presence, tunes our hearts to the Spirit, and aligns us with His will.It shifts the spiritual environment of a room and unites people in purpose.Takeaway:Worship is our soul’s true purpose which is meant to glorify God, not ourselves. It connects us to His presence, grounding us in His strength, and transforming everything when directing everything fully to him.📲 Want to grow deeper?• KC Connect – Discover how to hear from God + live your calling.Text KCCONNECT to 94000 or  CLICK HERE.• Sermon Notes – Dive deeper into Scripture + takeaways.

Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit. This week, Pastor Eric continues in expound upon how worship is our response to God's unchanging power, presence, and love reminding us that He alone is truly worthy, not us or the things we try to control.🔑 Key Takeaways:✅  Who Is Like the Lord? (v.11)“Who is like you, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?”A rhetorical question full of awe and reverence.God's Immutable Nature: His essence and character are unchangeable.Unchanging Nature – God does not evolve.Unchanging Character – His love, justice, and mercy are constant.Unchanging Will – His plans are perfect and eternal.Unchanging Promises – He is always faithful.Incommunicable Attributes of GodThese are divine qualities that cannot be shared by any created being:Omnipresent – God is everywhere at once.Omniscient – God is all-knowing.Omnipotent – God is all-powerful.The great lie: “You can be like God.”We counterfeit God’s attributes:Technology – pretending to be all-powerful.Social Media – projecting presence everywhere.Search + AI – mimicking all-knowing capabilities.Romans 1:25 – “...they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator...” ✅  What Has God Done? (v.12–13)“You stretched out your right hand; the earth swallowed them.”God’s Right Hand = His faithfulness in power.God’s Love = Steadfast, fatherly, holy, and fierce.Francis Chan: “Can you imagine if your kids were only 80% sure that you loved them as their Father?”God’s love is unchanging, unending, and unearned.Worship reminds us:Who God is.What He has done.Why we can trust Him again and again.✅ Worship Is Our Right ResponseWhat have you seen God do?Worship is how we respond to God’s character and works.Worship...Reminds us of God’s power.Builds faith that He can do anything.Centers us on His works, not ours.Places God on the throne and us at His feet.✅ The World Will Take Notice (v.14–16)“Terror and dread fall upon them…”Takeaway:Worship is not about us. It’s all about Him—His power, His presence, and His unchanging love. Let’s seek Him with awe and intimacy every day.📲 Want to grow deeper?• KC Connect – Discover how to hear from God + live your calling.Text KCCONNECT to 94000 or  CLICK HERE.• Sermon Notes – Dive deeper into Scripture + takeaways.

Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit. This week, Pastor Eric dives in to how when we grow in our relationship with God and worship Him rightly, we experience His power, presence, and deliverance. Worship is our portable theology—it declares what we believe about God based on His Word.🔑 Key Takeaways:✅ God Is a Warrior (Exodus 15:3)The first truth declared after Israel’s deliverance is that God is a “man of war.”We don’t apologize for God’s power—He fights against sin, bondage, and evil.✅ Why We Need God to Be a Warrior:Sin: Sin can’t be managed—it must be destroyed. The cross was a violent act of war; the resurrection was victory.Bondage: Like Israel in Egypt, we can't free ourselves. God must go to war to release us.Oppression: The enemy attacks through wounds, lies, vows, and strongholds. God overcomes spiritual forces that hold us down (Eph. 6:12).✅ Worship Reflects God's Victory (Exodus 15:4–5)God hurled Pharaoh’s army into the sea—a picture of baptism.In baptism, our sin and the enemy’s work are buried. It’s an act of war and worship.✅ God’s Right Hand Shows His Power and Faithfulness (Exodus 15:6–7)God doesn’t just promise deliverance—He executes it with power and finality.✅ God Moves Supernaturally (Exodus 15:8–10)He parts seas, defeats enemies, and sets us free—not just in the natural, but supernaturally.When we call on His name, the God of war fights for us.Takeaway:You can worship for the deliverance you need—and worship for the deliverance you’ve already received. God is not passive He is present, powerful, and victorious. Worship Him as the warrior who delivers.📲 Want to grow deeper?• KC Connect – Discover how to hear from God + live your calling.Text KCCONNECT to 94000 or  CLICK HERE.• Sermon Notes – Dive deeper into Scripture + takeaways.

Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.Worship, what does it mean and why is it important?This weeks episode emphasizes that worship is not just a ritual or performance, but a deep, heartfelt response to encountering the living God. True worship comes from understanding who God is and what He has done through His deliverance, grace, and presence. Worship must be spirit-filled, unified, and intentional. It is both personal and communal, and it pleases God when it flows from a place of holiness and reverence.🔑 Key Takeaways:✅ Worship is a Response to God’s Presence:It's not about music or emotion alone—true worship is a response to encountering God's nature and deeds.Scripture: Exodus 15:1-2 – Moses and Israel worshipped after experiencing God's deliverance.✅ Worship Must Be Spirit-Filled:The Holy Spirit enables deep and sincere worship.Scripture: Acts 2:1-4 – The outpouring of the Spirit brought unity and bold worship.✅ Worship Reflects Our Knowledge of God:The more we know God (His grace, love, provision), the deeper our worship becomes.✅ Unity is Essential in Worship:God is pleased when His people worship together in unity.Disunity can hinder worship and its spiritual impact.✅  Worship is Holy:Holiness is key. Worship that pleases God comes from pure hearts set apart for Him.Scripture: Revelation 15:3 – The song of the redeemed is a song of holiness and awe.✅ Worship is Both Individual and Communal:You worship God in your personal life, but corporate worship brings powerful expressions of unity and praise.✅ Worship is Overflow, Not Obligation:It’s not about duty; it’s about overflow—letting what’s in your heart pour out in response to who God is.📲 Want to grow deeper?• KC Connect – Discover how to hear from God + live your calling.Text KCCONNECT to 94000 or  CLICK HERE.• Sermon Notes – Dive deeper into Scripture + takeaways.
