What do you do when the breakthrough doesn’t come right away? In this Perseverance Sunday message, we open God’s Word to learn how to keep praying, keep believing, and keep contending—even in trials.

We’ll unpack:
- James 1:2–6 and how trials test our faith and produce perseverance
- What perseverance (hypomonē) means: “to remain under” and keep trusting God
- Why Jesus taught us to always pray and never give up (Luke 18:1)
- What it looks like to labor fervently in prayer and contend for the faith
- A powerful reminder: God can change circumstances, but often He changes us through them
- As we contend in prayer, we’re reminded that when we stop contending, we can drift into comfort, convenience, and complacency—and God is calling us back to a persevering faith.

What is God calling you to contend for right now?

Does God still heal, deliver, and intervene supernaturally in 2026—or were miracles only for the Bible? In this Miracle Sunday message, we lean into Acts 12 and witness how God rescued Peter from prison in an undeniable, supernatural way—while the church prayed earnestly.

This teaching builds faith for anyone who feels desperate, discouraged, or wondering, “Why not me?” You’ll be encouraged that God is faithful (even when life feels unfair), that He still moves in power today, and that our role is to pray with faith and keep praying—because miracles often come in God’s timing and God’s way.

In this message, you’ll discover:
• Why the church’s earnest prayer matters (Acts 12:5)
• What to do when God’s answers feel confusing or unfair
• How God works in ways we don’t expect (and why we may miss it)
• Why many people don’t see miracles as often—and how to grow in faith
• The power of P.U.S.H.: Pray Until Something Happens
• Real testimonies of healing and breakthrough from our Daybreak family

Whether you need healing, freedom from anxiety, restoration in your marriage, hope for a prodigal, or strength to keep going—this message is for you. Come expecting. God is still the God of miracles.

Prayer and fasting isn’t just a spiritual routine—it’s a powerful way to realign your heart with God and stay on His path. In this message, we walk through practical, biblical steps that help you experience freedom, forgiveness, and spiritual renewal.

You’ll learn how prayer and fasting helps you stay anchored in God’s will, what happens when sin pulls you off course, and how confession and repentance work together to restore your relationship with God and your spiritual momentum.

If you’ve felt stuck, dry, distracted, or off track spiritually, this message is an invitation to come back to Jesus—where forgiveness is real, mercy is available, and refreshing is possible again.

As we kick off 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting, Pastor Ben brings a timely message from Revelation 2 that calls the church—and each of us—back to the main thing: Jesus as our first love.

In the letter to the church in Ephesus, Jesus affirms their hard work, perseverance, and commitment to truth—but He also delivers a sobering correction: “You have forsaken the love you had at first… Repent and do the things you did at first.” (Revelation 2:4–5)

This message is a powerful reminder that it’s possible to be busy, successful, and even “doing the right things” while slowly drifting from intimacy with God. Fasting isn’t about earning blessings—it’s about returning to the Blesser. It’s not a tool to control outcomes, but a discipline that re-centers your heart on Christ and restores spiritual hunger.

In this sermon, you’ll learn:
• Why fasting confronts what we love too much so God can be loved rightly
• How fasting reveals what controls us and retrains what we reach for when we’re empty
• Why fasting is not about bending God’s will—but bending ours
• How fasting restores first love by exposing what we’ve learned to love instead
• Why there’s too much at stake to drift in 2026 (family, marriage, purity, calling, and spiritual strength)

Whether you’re new to church, new to fasting, or you’ve done this for years, this is an invitation to begin your year with a clear declaration: “Jesus, I open up my life to You.”

Happy New Year, Daybreak family! As we step into 2026, this message from Isaiah 43 reminds us that God is not surprised by what’s ahead—He’s already been there. Whether you’re new to church, returning to faith, or you’ve been part of Daybreak for years, this teaching will help you start the year with clarity, courage, and confidence in God’s presence.

In Isaiah 43, God speaks to His people in a season of uncertainty and loss—and gives a powerful promise:
“Forget the former things… See, I am doing a new thing!” (Isaiah 43:18–19)

In this message, Pastor Jason shares three practical, soul-level questions to align your plans with God’s purposes:

1) What do I need to let go of in 2026?
Sometimes what you need to release isn’t only “bad”—it can be something that was once good but is now stale, distracting, or holding you back.

2) God, where are You leading me?
God is doing a new thing, and He wants to sharpen your spiritual vision so you can perceive His direction.

3) What is my next possible step?
God often asks us to do what’s possible—so He can do what’s impossible. Small steps of obedience can unlock supernatural change.

This message also introduces the heart behind 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting, and why fasting isn’t about changing how you look—it’s about changing how you see. Finally, we close by receiving communion, remembering Jesus’ sacrifice and renewing our trust in Him as we enter the new year.

📖 Key Scriptures:
• Isaiah 43:16–19
• Proverbs 16:3

If you’ve been walking into 2026 with fear, uncertainty, or heaviness, this word is for you: God is making a way in the wilderness—and streams in the wasteland.

What do you do when life feels uncertain—and you don’t know how the story ends? In this Christmas message from Luke 1, we learn from Mary’s encounter with the angel Gabriel and discover how to trust God in the middle, even when we’re full of questions, fear, or doubt.

Mary didn’t respond with blind faith. She asked honest questions (“How will this be?”) and then took an incremental step of surrender: “I am the Lord’s servant… may your word to me be fulfilled.” (Luke 1:38)

In this teaching, we explore:

• Why it’s okay to ask God questions
Mary “pondered” the angel’s words—she weighed it out, processed it, and didn’t pretend she wasn’t afraid.

• How to have peace before you know the outcome
Because Jesus came, we can trust the One who holds our future—before we see the results.

• What it means to “walk by faith, not by sight”
Many of us get stuck obsessing over money, health, marriage, family, or the unknown. God invites us to trust Him again—today.

• The Christmas reminder: God is trustworthy
Christmas isn’t just a cozy story. It’s proof that God steps into human uncertainty with real hope—and His promises never fail.

📖 Key Scriptures:
• Luke 1:26–38
• Romans 8:28

If you’re carrying anxiety, grief, financial stress, family burdens, or unanswered questions this Christmas season, this message will help you come back to the center: God is faithful—and you can trust Him in the process.

Why does Christmas matter so much in a world that feels increasingly dark, chaotic, and confusing? In this message, Pastor Jason explores how Jesus is the Light of the World and why His arrival changes everything—personally and globally.

Drawing from Isaiah 8–9 and John 8:12, we look at:

The world in darkness, then and now
• How people in Isaiah’s time turned to mediums, spiritists, and human solutions instead of God
• Why trying to solve life’s deepest problems without God still leaves us in spiritual darkness today

The promise of a coming Light
• The prophecy of Isaiah 9:2: “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light…”
• The famous description of the Messiah in Isaiah 9:6:
• Wonderful Counselor
• Mighty God
• Everlasting Father
• Prince of Peace

Christmas: brutally honest and deeply hopeful
• Christmas isn’t sentimental “cheer up” talk—it’s God’s answer to the truth that we can’t save ourselves
• Why Jesus coming into the world is both a sobering reminder of our need and a joyful declaration of real hope

Only Jesus can pierce the darkness
• What it means that Jesus said, “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12)
• How His light brings peace, wisdom, strength, and the Father’s love into our most broken places
• An invitation to step out of darkness and receive Jesus as Savior and Lord

At the end of the message, we respond together through communion, remembering that the baby in the manger became the Savior on the cross—Love’s pure light given for us.

If you’re longing for peace, direction, hope, or forgiveness this Christmas, this message will help you see why Jesus is not just part of the season—He is the reason there is any light at all.

Is there a difference between saying “thank you” and actually being thankful? In this message, Pastor Marcus unpacks Psalm 138 and helps us see that biblical thankfulness is far more than good manners—it’s a deep, heart-level response to who God is and what He’s done.

In a season where it’s easy to rush from Halloween straight to Christmas and skip over Thanksgiving (both the holiday and the attitude), this teaching invites you to slow down and rediscover a life of gratitude rooted in the gospel.

From David’s words in Psalm 138, Pastor Marcus explores:
Thankfulness as our response in humility
• Why you can’t be prideful and truly thankful at the same time
• What it means to “bow down” to God and place Him above every other “god” in your life—career, relationships, success, or addictions

Thankfulness as a response to knowing God’s nature
• How walking with God over time reveals His heart—His kindness, faithfulness, and nearness in both the highs and the lows
• How God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and why that matters for your gratitude today

Thankfulness as a response to the greatest gift—salvation
• Why Ephesians 2:8–10 calls salvation a gift, not something we earn
• How the Holy Spirit reminds us of everything Jesus has done and continues to do in our lives
• Why the cross and resurrection are the foundation of a truly thankful heart

Whether you’re new to faith, exploring who Jesus is, or have been following Him for years, this message will help you:
• Shift from polite “thank yous” to deep, genuine gratitude
• See your life, relationships, and circumstances through the lens of God’s grace
• Respond to the free gift of salvation available in Jesus

Take this time to reset your heart, remember God’s goodness, and step into the holiday season with true, Christ-centered thankfulness.
