Through Peter’s declaration, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life,” this sermon challenges believers to examine their commitment, connection, and spiritual roots.Drawing from a remarkable revival in the Rio Grande Valley and personal testimony, this message highlights how God uses obedience, even in the face of persecution, to spark transformation across generations. What may seem like hardship can become the very platform for God’s glory.This sermon calls the Church back to its foundation—not entertainment, not numbers, but the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. It emphasizes the importance of being planted, faithful, and deeply connected to a spiritual family rather than living a life of instability and disconnection.Recorded on 04.26.2026

    In this powerful continuation of the series “Who Is the Holy Spirit?”, we dive deeper into the life-changing reality of the Holy Spirit—not just dwelling within us, but coming upon us with power.

    Pastor Kevin Ortiz - Power Of Resurrection

    This powerful message centers on the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the life-changing impact of His victory over death. Beginning in Luke 24, the sermon highlights the moment the empty tomb was discovered and emphasizes that the first to proclaim the risen Christ were women—revealing God’s power working through unexpected people.The message then moves to the heart of the gospel: Jesus willingly endured the cross, taking on the sins of humanity, experiencing separation from God, and sacrificing Himself out of love. As taught in John 12, His crucifixion became the moment that would draw all people back to God. Through His death and resurrection, He conquered sin, shame, sickness, and death—offering eternal life to all who believe.A central theme is resurrection power—not just as a historical event, but as a present reality for believers. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead now lives within those who follow Him, bringing new life, transformation, and victory. This message emphasizes that believers are not simply improved versions of themselves, but entirely new creations in Christ.The sermon also calls Christians to walk boldly in spiritual authority—overcoming adversity, resisting the enemy, and operating in the power of the Holy Spirit. Through faith, prayer, and reliance on God, believers can experience breakthrough, healing, and restoration in every area of life.Ultimately, this message is a call to live a resurrected life—one marked by purpose, power, and testimony. It encourages listeners to rise above their past, embrace their identity in Christ, and believe God for greater things, knowing that their lives can reflect His glory and impact others for eternity.Recorded on 04.05.2026

    Veronica Ortiz - Hosanna

    In this powerful message from Matthew 21, we are reminded of the moment Jesus entered Jerusalem as the crowds shouted “Hosanna!”—a cry that meant both “Lord, save us” and “Praise God for our Savior.” But what does that mean for us today?This sermon challenges us to examine our hearts:Are we still crying out for a Savior as if He hasn’t come—or are we living in the victory He has already given?While the crowd honored Jesus outwardly with palm branches, many were still bound inwardly by wrong expectations and unrenewed minds. In the same way, believers today can praise God with their lips yet remain stuck in cycles of bondage, fear, and old thinking.You’ll be encouraged to stop “dying in the wilderness” spiritually and instead step fully into the life, authority, and freedom available in Christ. Through daily renewal in God’s Word, the power of the Holy Spirit, and a surrendered life, you can walk in the fullness of what Jesus has already accomplished.Recorded on 03.29.2026

    Kevin Ortiz - Wisdom Is a Tool

    In this powerful message, we explore how wisdom is not just something we desire—it’s a tool God has given us to build the life He has promised. Through Scripture and the example of Noah, we see that God doesn’t hand us finished results—He gives us vision, instruction, and the tools to build by faith.Rooted in Hebrews 11 and Proverbs 9, this teaching reveals that faith pleases God, and true wisdom begins with reverence for Him. Just as Noah trusted God’s word and built the ark despite doubt and opposition, we are called to trust what God has spoken over our lives—even when it doesn’t make sense.You’ll discover four key tools God gives every believer:Knowledge – what you know and learnIntelligence – how you process and apply itCreativity – the ability to build and innovateRevelation – seeing what God seesThis message will challenge you to stop waiting for results and start building with what God has already placed in your hands. Whether it’s your family, faith, business, or calling—God has a masterpiece in mind.Be encouraged:If God started the work in you, He will finish it.Step out in faith, use the tools, and watch God do what only He can do.Recorded on 03/22/2026

    Kevin Ortiz - Is There Oil In Your Lamp

    In this powerful message from Matthew 25, we are reminded of the parable of the ten virgins and the importance of being spiritually prepared for the return of Jesus Christ. Just as the wise bridesmaids carried extra oil for their lamps, believers today must live with a continual supply of the Holy Spirit’s presence in their lives.This sermon explores the meaning of the “oil” as the anointing of the Holy Spirit and how it identifies us, keeps us passionate for God, gives us vision, releases God’s power, and brings revival to our lives. Through biblical teaching and personal testimony, we are encouraged not to rely on yesterday’s anointing but to seek fresh oil from God daily.You will also learn practical ways to apply the anointing in everyday life—by dedicating your life, your family, your marriage, your possessions, and even your business to the Lord. When we live filled with the Holy Spirit, we carry God’s presence everywhere we go and become vessels for His power, healing, and purpose.The call is clear: stay ready, stay filled, and make sure there is always oil in your lamp.

    Kevin Ortiz - The Word Is The Seed

    In this powerful message from Isaiah 55 and Luke 8, we learn that the Word of God is a seed sent from heaven to produce a harvest in our lives. God’s thoughts and ways are higher than ours, and when His Word is planted in our hearts, it transforms how we think, speak, and live.Just like a seed planted in the ground, the Word will always produce fruit—but the condition of our heart determines the harvest. Jesus teaches about the four types of soil: the path, rocky ground, thorny ground, and good soil. Each represents how people receive and respond to God’s Word.This message challenges believers to cultivate good soil in their hearts by seeking understanding, staying hungry for the Word, removing distractions, and living a life of worship and prayer. When the Word takes deep root, it produces a harvest of faith, victory, peace, joy, and transformation.When God’s Word grows in our lives, our testimony becomes visible to the world, revealing the glory of God through us.Recorded on 03/08/2026

    The Good Shepherd

    In this powerful message from Gospel of John 10:14–16, we are reminded that Jesus is not just a shepherd — He is the Good Shepherd. He knows His sheep. He calls them by name. He laid down His life so that we could be brought back to the Father and become part of one flock under one Shepherd.Through the truth of Gospel of Luke 19:10, we see the heart of Christ: He came to seek and save the lost. The gospel is not exclusive — both Jew and Gentile are brought in through faith. As Epistle to the Romans 10:9–10 declares, salvation comes by believing in your heart and confessing Jesus as Lord.This message also shares a powerful testimony of how the Good Shepherd rescued a life on the brink of suicide, demonstrating that when the church prays and preaches the gospel, the lost are brought home. Jesus still saves. He still restores. He still gives eternal and abundant life.In Gospel of John 10:27–29, we are given this assurance: His sheep hear His voice, follow Him, and are securely held in the Father’s hand. Abundant life is found in listening to and following the voice of Jesus. The Father keeps His own.Just as a mother cares for and protects her newborn puppies, the Good Shepherd faithfully watches over, feeds, and guards His sheep. His care is intentional and personal.The gospel is the power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:16). When we preach it, we participate in heaven’s mission — bringing the lost back to the Shepherd.Finally, in the Great Commission from Gospel of Matthew 28:19–20 and Jesus’ charge to Peter in Gospel of John 21:15–17, we are called to more than belief — we are called to discipleship. If we love Jesus, we feed His sheep. We go into our city, our workplaces, our schools, and make disciples. We give what we have received — the love of God and the Word of God — and God gives the increase.This message casts vision for FPG Church:Be a disciple. Make disciples. Feed His sheep.When you give yourself to the mission of the Good Shepherd, the river of God flows through you — and dryness ends.If you love Jesus, feed His sheep.Recorded on 03.01.2026

    Kevin Ortiz - Entering the Presence of God

    In this life-changing message from Hebrews 10 and John 14, we are reminded that because of the blood of Jesus, we can boldly enter into the presence of God. This sermon reveals that everything we will ever need is found in His presence — His glory, His goodness, and His power manifested in our lives.Through powerful biblical examples—Moses encountering God’s glory, Daniel in the lions’ den, the three Hebrew boys in the fire, and the resurrection power of Jesus—we see that whenever God’s presence shows up, His glory is revealed.With personal testimonies from ministry in Kenya, Uganda, Mexico, and beyond, this sermon illustrates how the Holy Spirit actively comforts, strengthens, directs, heals, and sets people free today.The invitation is clear: Don’t run from God—run to Him. Draw near, and He will draw near to you. His presence is not reserved for the perfect, but made accessible through Jesus Christ. Whether you need peace, breakthrough, healing, or salvation, everything is waiting for you in His presence.This message concludes with a powerful call to salvation and rededication, reminding us that we enter not by our own righteousness, but by the finished work of Jesus.Come close to God — and watch Him transform your life.

    Kevin Ortiz - God Is Love

    What is real love? In this powerful message, we dive into the truth that God is love and discover how walking closely with Him transforms our hearts, relationships, and purpose.Through Scripture in 1 John 4 and 1 Corinthians 13, this sermon explores the character of love—patient, kind, forgiving, and enduring—and challenges us to reflect God’s love in our families, friendships, marriages, and daily lives. You’ll also learn about the four biblical expressions of love: storge (family love), philia (friendship), eros (desire within marriage), and agape (God’s unconditional love)—and why agape love is the foundation for healing, restoration, and true freedom.No matter your past, pain, or brokenness, Jesus offers a new heart, a new life, and abundant love. This message will encourage you to let go of hurt, resist the enemy’s lies, and walk in the fullness of God’s love and purpose.Be encouraged, be restored, and discover how to love the way God loves.

  15. 506

    I Prayed for You

    In this powerful message, “I Prayed for You,” we explore Jesus’ words to Peter in Luke 22 and the vital role of prayer in the life of every believer. Prayer is more than words—it is spiritual warfare, an act of love, and a bold entrance into God’s throne room of grace. Through Scripture in Ephesians, Romans, Hebrews, and the Gospels, we are reminded that the Holy Spirit helps us pray, faith activates our prayers, and intercession strengthens the body of Christ.Be encouraged to pray for yourself, your church, your nation, and one another—believing that God hears, answers, and moves through faithful prayer.Recorded on 02.08.2026

    Veronica Ortiz - Stewarding Well Pt2

    This message continues a powerful teaching on biblical stewardship, shifting the focus from stewarding personal areas of life to stewarding the spiritual gifts God has placed within each believer. Drawing from scriptures such as 1 Peter 4, Romans 12, Matthew 25, and Ephesians 4, this sermon reminds us that every person has been given a gift by God—not for personal gain, but to serve the body of Christ.Through biblical truth, personal testimony, and practical exhortation, this message challenges listeners to stop comparing gifts, refuse offense and fear, stir up dormant callings, remain faithful in small beginnings, and walk worthy of God’s call. It emphasizes that unused gifts are not neutral—they are meant to be activated, multiplied, and used for Kingdom impact.This word is a call to action: dig up what you’ve buried, guard your gift, and use what God has entrusted to you to bless others and advance His Kingdom—for this generation and the next.Recorded on 2.1.2026

    Veronica Ortiz - Stewarding Well

    In this powerful and practical message, we are challenged to examine how well we are stewarding what God has already placed in our hands. As we believe God for the hundredfold increase and breakthrough in every area of life, this teaching reminds us that increase follows stewardship.Drawing from Scripture and real-life testimony, this message walks through five key areas every believer must steward well: spiritual, physical, mental, social, and financial. We are reminded that everything belongs to God, and we are simply managers of His resources. Faithfulness in the “little” prepares us for greater responsibility and blessing.If you are believing God for increase, promotion, freedom, and lasting fruit, this message will help you prepare your life to receive it.

    Kevin Ortiz - A Joseph Spirit

    In this powerful Christmas-season message, we explore the miracle of Emmanuel—God with us—and uncover the often-overlooked but vital role of Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus. Through Matthew chapter 1, we see how God came in the flesh to become the perfect, sinless sacrifice for all mankind, fulfilling prophecy and restoring humanity to Himself.This sermon highlights Joseph as a man of righteousness, mercy, character, and integrity—a man who chose grace over shame, obedience over understanding, and faith over fear. His decision to obey God not only protected Mary but legally positioned Jesus as the Son of David, fulfilling God’s covenant and establishing Jesus as both King of Heaven and King of Earth.You’ll be reminded that through Christ, we too have been adopted into the family of God, given authority over the works of the enemy, and called to walk in power through the Holy Spirit. The message challenges believers to live like Joseph by drawing near to God, allowing the Holy Spirit to shape their character, and faithfully obeying God’s call—even when the full picture isn’t clear.The service concludes with a powerful prayer over the men of the church, calling them to walk in a “Joseph spirit”—marked by integrity, faithfulness, humility, and sacrificial love—while honoring their role as leaders, fathers, and sons in God’s kingdom.

    Kevin Ortiz - The Anointing

    The AnointingScripture: Acts 10:38From carpenter to Christ — Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit and power, going about doing good, healing the sick, and setting the oppressed free. That same anointing is now available to every believer through the Holy Spirit who lives with you and in you (John 14:15–17).The Holy Spirit transforms hearts, brings personal victory, and empowers us to walk in truth and freedom. His conviction is not condemnation—it’s an invitation to change and walk in integrity.Just as Jesus declared in Luke 4:18, we are anointed to preach the gospel, heal the broken, and destroy the works of the devil. Every believer carries the potential for power, but it comes with a price: daily surrender, taking up your cross, and following Jesus (Matthew 16:24–26). Welcome the Holy Spirit every day. Seek His presence, hear His direction, and walk in your anointing.Because when God is with you and in you, there’s nothing that can stand against you.Recorded on 10.05.2025

    Kevin Ortiz - It’s All About Jesus

    This message is all about Jesus—the One who came to make a way back to God. From the Great Commission in Matthew 28 to the call to be “born again” in John 3, we are reminded that the Christian life is not about improving the old but becoming a new creation in Christ.As heavenly men and women, led by the Spirit, we are called to run the race of faith with endurance (Hebrews 12), to lay down our lives in love (John 15:13), and to carry the good news to the nations. The legacy of faithful witnesses—from martyrs like Charlie Kirk, to the Moravian missionaries who gave their lives for the Gospel—calls this generation to rise up.Generation Z is a revival generation. We believe God is stirring hearts for what may be the final move of His Spirit before Christ’s return. Our mission is clear: make disciples, teach obedience to Jesus’ commands, and live as living sacrifices so that “the Lamb who was slain may receive the reward of His suffering.”Through prayer, giving, going, and proclaiming the Gospel, we declare that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). The invitation remains the same: You must be born again.Join us as we fix our eyes on Jesus, celebrate communion in remembrance of Him, and commit to living as heavenly men and women until He comes again.Recorded on 009.14.2025
