TPC: The Light Carriers

There is a shift happening.In this powerful anniversary message, Bishop Sylvester Poole Jr. releases a prophetic word that challenges us to stop forcing what no longer fits and step into what God is calling us to build. Through 2 Kings 6, we are reminded that discomfort is not punishment—it is preparation. If you’ve been feeling stretched, unsettled, or out of place, this message will help you understand why. God is expanding your capacity, and with that comes a call to move, build, and align. This is not the season to shrink.This is the season to shift.Key Scriptures:2 Kings 6:1–7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.The Purpose Church: 2721 Arnett St. Birmingham, AL

In seasons where life feels uncertain and pressure continues to rise, God is not calling us to strive harder—He’s calling us to trust Him differently. In A Seated Victory, we walk through Exodus 17 and the battle between Israel and the Amalekites. While Joshua fought in the valley, Moses stood on the hill with his hands lifted. As long as his hands were raised, Israel prevailed. But when he grew tired, Aaron and Hur stepped in to support him. This message reveals a powerful truth: victory is not always found in effort, but in posture, surrender, and support. The wilderness was never meant to break them—it was meant to build their faith. God was teaching them how to trust Him in real time, even when provision didn’t come the way they expected. If you’ve been feeling stretched, tired, or under pressure, this message will remind you that you are not called to fight alone.

Life has a way of wearing you down. What once felt passionate can start to feel routine.What once felt alive can start to feel distant. In this message, we walk through Psalm 51 and the story of David’s plea to God after realizing something had shifted in his heart. This isn’t just about sin. It’s about recognizing when your relationship with God has gone from fire… to routine. If you’ve been feeling disconnected, distracted, or spiritually drained, this message will help you identify what changed and how to get your fire back.

Easter Sunday came and went. The music was good. The moment was real. But now it's Monday — and the same fears are back, the same doubts are creeping in, the same old patterns are showing up. What was all of that for if nothing actually changes? That's exactly the question this message answers.In "Now What," Pastor A picks up right after the resurrection celebration and challenges believers to examine what they actually believe once the high wears off. Rooted in Luke 24:1-12 and 2 Corinthians 1:20-22, she unpacks the story of the women at the tomb — who loved Jesus, walked with Him, witnessed every miracle — and reveals that their burial spices were not an act of devotion. They were unbelieving. Using Kirk Franklin's story as a powerful parallel, she illustrates what it looks like to have a Father with every resource you need but never benefit from it because you don't know who He is. The message closes with a clear answer to the question: live as He told you. Every promise is yes. Every word is guaranteed.Watch this message if you:Celebrated Easter but went back to the same doubt and fear by MondayAre declaring things with your mouth but still bracing for the worstFeel like you're not accessing what God says is available to youNeed a practical reset on how to live in faith after a high momentWant to stop being surprised when God does exactly what He saidBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.The Purpose Church: 2721 Arnett St. Birmingham, AL

You believe He rose. But are you living like it? There's a difference between knowing the resurrection happened and actually walking in what it gave you access to. Most of us are celebrating Easter without ever claiming what it purchased. This message changes that.In "I Have Been Justified," Pastor A opens Romans 8:31-39 and takes us into one of the most powerful identity declarations in all of scripture. Using a legal analogy — the prohibition on propensity evidence — she explains that because of Jesus, your past cannot be used against you. The account is satisfied. God made you right, which is completely different from you trying to be right on your own. Grounded also in Romans 3:22-24, this message unpacks what justification really means: the ability to stand before God as though sin never existed — as a child, not a beggar — and to walk in complete victory because nothing concerning you is left undone.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.The Purpose Church: 2721 Arnett St. Birmingham, AL

God, Get In My Business | The Purpose Church | March 29, 2026You've been asking God for help. But have you actually given Him access? Most of us pray when things fall apart — but this message challenges you to build a consistent, intentional prayer life that keeps heaven involved in every area of your life, even when things are going right. In "God, Get in My Business," Pastor A unpacks Joshua 10:5-15 to reveal why prayer is not just a spiritual discipline — it's a legal invitation. Because God gave man authority over the earth (Genesis 1:26-28), He respects what He built: free moral agents with the power to invite or exclude. When you stop praying, you're literally closing the door on God's involvement. But when you pray like Joshua — bold, specific, and mid-battle — God stops the sun for you. Rooted in Luke 18:1, Matthew 6:33, Proverbs 3:6, and Joshua 10:12-14, this message teaches you how to pray with intention, release the management of your situation, and be prepared for the unusual when God steps in.What You'll GainListen to this if you're:Stuck in a situation you've been trying to manage on your ownStruggling to maintain a consistent prayer life - In the middle of a win but feeling like time is running out Needing a word about inviting God into the specific details of your lifeYou'll leave with a new understanding of prayer, a posture of invitation, and the boldness to ask God for something that defies your own understanding.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.The Purpose Church: 2721 Arnett St. Birmingham, AL

You have a security system, insurance, and a whole maintenance plan keeping your home in order. But when's the last time you invested that same energy into protecting your spirit? Most of us are governing our natural homes better than our spiritual ones — and in this message, Pastor A breaks down exactly why that has to change.In "For Me and My House," Pastor A unpacks Joshua 24:14-15 and challenges believers to take authority over their spiritual house — their body, mind, and spirit. Rooted in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Isaiah 53:5, and Philippians 2:5-6, this message teaches you how to make powerful declarations over your health, guard your mental peace, and walk in the confidence that because of your covenant with Christ, the fight is already fixed in your favor.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.The Purpose Church: 2721 Arnett St. Birmingham, AL

Have you ever stayed too long in a relationship, environment, or pattern that God was already telling you to leave? This message speaks directly to the cost of delayed exits, compromised boundaries, and becoming casual with what God called sacred. In “Lord, Teach Me How to Exit Part III,” Pastor A closes the exit series by walking through the story of Samson and Delilah. This message focuses on consecration, discernment, and the danger of taking what God placed on your life into the wrong environment. Samson was chosen, but he became careless with the very strength that marked him. Through this story, we are reminded that not every connection is sent by God and that disobedience often begins long before the collapse.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.The Purpose Church: 2721 Arnett St. Birmingham, AL

In this message, we are reminded that even in a world filled with chaos, uncertainty, and pressure, God has not moved from His place. Our culture may feel unstable. News cycles change every day. The pressure of life can make it feel like God is distant. But the truth is simple. God is where He has always been. Faithful. This word challenges us to stop waiting for rescue and recognize that the work has already been done through Christ. The opportunity before us is a choice. Will we choose God, chase Him, and walk in the way He has already prepared? If you have felt the pressure lately, this message will strengthen your faith and remind you that the way has already been made.Ways to Give:Zelle: [email protected]: paypal.me/TPC2018Venmo: @thepurposechurchAbout The Purpose Church The Purpose Church is a faith-centered community committed to building believers who carry light into every space they enter.

In this message, Pastor A teaches us how to remain confident in God’s promises even when earthly systems look unstable. “Resting in the Promise” reminds us that what God began, He will finish. His Word is not paused because of chaos. His promises are not subject to the conditions of this world. If you have been feeling weary, uncertain, or stretched thin trying to do God’s part, this message will realign your faith and restore your certainty. Heaven’s distribution is not delayed. You are never without power. And you can rest in what God has already said.

When God calls you a hero… but you’re hiding. In Judges 6, Israel is in bondage because of their own disobedience. Their crops are destroyed. Their livestock is taken. They are starving. And Gideon is hiding in a winepress when God calls him something he doesn’t feel like — a mighty hero Go With What You Got.This message reminds us:• Trouble is not always spiritual warfare — sometimes it’s harvest.• Crying out activates a rescue plan.• God will call out what’s in you before you see it yourself.• You don’t need more — you need to move with what you have.God didn’t promise Gideon supernatural strength.He said, “Go with the strength you have.” Go With What You Got If you’ve been hiding, doubting, stretched, or questioning your capacity, this word is for you. The enemy wants you to believe you are operating from a deficit. But what if what’s already in you is enough? You are about to win with what’s been on the shelf.You are about to win with what’s in reserve.You are about to win with what you forgot you possessed.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.The Purpose Church: 2721 Arnett St. Birmingham, AL

There are some storms in your life that aren’t spiritual warfare…They’re sent storms. In this powerful message, we revisit the story of Abraham and Lot and examine how compassion can override obedience — and how staying connected to people, places, and things after they’ve expired can cost you more than you realize. Then we shift to Jonah — a prophet running from assignment — and discover how disobedience doesn’t just affect you… it impacts everyone connected to you. When you refuse to exit what God told you to leave:• Your vision becomes limited• Your resources become strained• Your promise becomes delayed• Your bloodline can be impactedYou can’t row your way out of disobedience.Out is the only way out.This message will challenge you to:✔️ Evaluate ungodly connections✔️ Discern what is sent vs. what is familiar✔️ Stop calling sorrow a blessing✔️ Exit disobedience and enter alignmentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.The Purpose Church: 2721 Arnett St. Birmingham, AL

Discipleship isn’t just getting saved. It’s a relationship. It’s training. It’s commitment. And in this Bible Study (Discipleship Pt. 2), we go straight to the first mark of a true disciple: denying self and making Christ a priority. We open in prayer, covering families, the church, and this fasting season, then jump into a powerful teaching from Mark 8:34–38 about what it really means to follow Jesus. This one is practical, convicting, and honest. We talk obedience, identity, renewing your mind, and the truth that you can’t just “look” like you serve God… your life has to match your attendance. If you’ve been asking God for “next instructions,” this message will challenge you to finish what He already told you to do. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.The Purpose Church: 2721 Arnett St. Birmingham, AL

In this powerful message, "Here by Intercession," Minister April Speight shifts our focus from the miracle itself to the people who made it possible. Before Lazarus ever heard, “Come forth,” someone had to send a message. Before resurrection power showed up, intercession went ahead. This Word reminds us that God honors intercession, responds to borrowed faith, and moves when trusted messengers speak on behalf of those who can’t speak for themselves. Whether you’re believing for healing, restoration, breakthrough, or revival, this message will challenge you to check your emergency contacts, strengthen your faith through delay, and trust that if Jesus said He’s coming, it’s already on the way. No matter how long it’s been.No matter how sealed it looks.No matter what the report says. If you believe, you will see the glory of God.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.The Purpose Church: 2721 Arnett St. Birmingham, AL

In this message, we’re reminded that soaring is a decision of faith. Waiting in the Lord doesn’t mean standing still — it means trusting God as He strengthens us for higher heights. If average no longer satisfies and your spirit is being stretched, this Word will encourage you to keep your faith up, align your language, and choose to soar anyway.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.The Purpose Church: 2721 Arnett St. Birmingham, AL

Discipleship is more than belief, it’s a daily walk. In this Bible study, Pastor A begins Part 1 of our Discipleship series, teaching what it truly means to follow Jesus with intention, maturity, and obedience. This session focuses on moving from inspiration to application, helping us live out our faith in practical, measurable ways.During Bible Study, partners were given a Personal Discipleship Plan, a guided tool designed to help each of us put action to our desire to grow more like Christ.This plan provides simple but intentional guidelines for: Bible reading Prayer Personal focus and growth Accountability and consistency The goal isn’t perfection, it’s progress. Discipleship is personal, but it’s not meant to be walked out alone. If you’re ready to grow deeper, build healthy spiritual rhythms, and take ownership of your walk with God, this teaching will help lay the foundation. This is where truth lives. And light is revealed.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.The Purpose Church: 2721 Arnett St. Birmingham, AL

Before David ever asked God to create a clean heart, he first acknowledged what was wrong. Transformation doesn’t happen by pretending—we change when we allow God to confront and renew us. There are areas in all of our lives that need our undivided attention. Growth requires us to stop avoiding those spaces and start inviting God into them. When we’re willing to die to self and prioritize God, He reshapes our hearts and realigns our spirits.Ask yourself this week: What area of my life needs honesty before renewal?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.The Purpose Church: 2721 Arnett St. Birmingham, AL

In That Doesn’t Fit Me Anymore, Pastor A challenges us to examine what we’re still holding onto that no longer serves who God is calling us to be. Using David’s decision to remove Saul’s armor before facing Goliath, this message reminds us that not everything from a previous season belongs in the next. Some things aren’t wrong or sinful—they’re simply expired. This word calls us to release old mindsets, patterns, relationships, and comforts that restrict our movement and distort our vision. As God leads us forward, clarity often comes when we change the lens and choose obedience over comfort. Sometimes elevation requires separation.Sometimes growth requires letting go.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.The Purpose Church: 2721 Arnett St. Birmingham, AL

In this powerful Bible study, Pastor A leads us into a deeper understanding of the Holy Spirit — exploring tongues, the infilling, and what it truly means to walk in the manifestation of the Spirit daily.

Whether you’re seeking understanding, desiring fresh infilling, or learning how to live Spirit-led with confidence, this study is for you.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.The Purpose Church: 2721 Arnett St. Birmingham, AL

In Position Me to Receive, Pastor A challenges us to examine not just what we’re believing God for, but whether we’re truly postured to receive it. Using the story of the man at the Pool of Bethesda, this message exposes how trauma, mindset, and unhealed soul wounds can block transformation—even when healing is available. Jesus didn’t ask for an explanation. He asked one direct question: “Do you want to be well?” This word reminds us that real change doesn’t come from proximity to the Word, but from allowing God to heal our souls, renew our thinking, and align our faith with obedience. Healing is available—when we’re willing to receive it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.The Purpose Church: 2721 Arnett St. Birmingham, AL

Before Jeremiah ever spoke, God established his identity, calling, and authority. In this message from Jeremiah 1:4–12, we’re reminded that facts are not always truth — and for believers, truth must always override what we see. This word challenges us to examine our perspective and the language we’re using. Are we speaking from fear and circumstance, or from faith and the truth of God’s Word? God’s question to Jeremiah still matters today: “What do you see?” If you’re believing for healing, provision, direction, or breakthrough, this message will help you align your vision and your words with what God has already spoken — because you’ve got to see it before you experience it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.The Purpose Church: 2721 Arnett St. Birmingham, AL
