“Living in the Green” isn’t about waiting for perfect clarity — it’s about moving when God has already spoken.

In this message, we see how God works through motion, not passivity. From Paul and Barnabas stepping out without full instructions, to Isaac sowing in the middle of famine, to Jesus teaching that we are the seed planted in the earth — Scripture shows us the same truth again and again: God blesses obedience in motion.

Many believers are not stuck because God is silent — they are stuck because they are waiting for details instead of acting on what they already know.

This teaching confronts the idea that we must have every answer before we move. Instead, it reveals that direction often comes after obedience, not before it. When we live inside the boundaries of what God has already said, we are “in the green” — free to act, grow, build, and produce.

You’ll be challenged to stop circling the same place and start putting your hand to something again — trusting that God will redirect you if needed, but will always move when you move in faith.

You were planted to produce. You were built to move. And God is waiting for you to step forward.

Many believers feel stuck, waiting on God for their “next step,” when He has already given clear instructions in His Word. In this message, Living in the Green, we’re reminded that obedience doesn’t always start with a new word—it starts with walking in what God has already said.

“Living in the green” means understanding that God’s Word has already given every believer a wide-open path to move, grow, and act. Jesus has commanded us to make disciples, share our faith, pray for the sick, and walk in His ways. These are not optional suggestions—they are green lights to go, without hesitation or fear.

Through the story of Paul and Barnabas in Acts 13, we see that God often sends us without giving every detail. They were simply told to go—and as they moved, God directed, protected, and opened doors for greater influence. The same is true today: movement brings clarity.

This message calls believers out of spiritual paralysis and into confident obedience. You don’t have to wait for perfect clarity to begin. God’s command already carries His power. As you move forward—being fruitful, multiplying, and taking dominion—you’ll discover that God meets you in motion.

If you’ve been asking, “God, what’s next?” this message may be the answer:
Live in the green. Keep moving. Trust God to lead you as you go.

In this message, we explore the biblical meaning and purpose of the anointing—not as a special experience for a few, but as a reality for every believer who is born of God. Scripture reveals that Jesus is the Messiah, the Anointed One, and that His anointing doesn’t stop with Him—it flows into His body, the Church.

Using the life of Moses and other biblical examples, this teaching shows how the anointing turns ordinary moments into holy ground, equips believers for impossible assignments, and sustains us through adversity. The anointing does not remove challenges, but it empowers us to overcome them. From Pharaoh to the Red Sea, from resistance to victory, God proves again and again that what He calls, He also equips.

This message emphasizes that in the New Covenant, the anointing no longer comes upon select individuals for temporary tasks—it lives within every believer through Christ. No matter the opposition, pressure, or season, the anointing of God enables us to stand firm, move forward, and walk in victory.

If you’ve ever wondered how to face adversity with confidence, live with spiritual authority, and rely on God’s power instead of your own strength, this message is a reminder that you are anointed, called, and built to overcome.

In this message, we continue the Born to Build series by diving into one of the most foundational and often misunderstood subjects in the Christian life: the baptism of the Holy Spirit and speaking in other tongues. This teaching walks through key scriptures in Acts, 1 Corinthians, and the words of Jesus Himself to show that the Holy Spirit is not a fringe experience, but a vital part of God’s design for every believer.

Rather than treating the Holy Spirit as optional or strange, this message reframes Him as essential for spiritual growth, boldness, prayer, and effectiveness. We explore how praying in tongues builds your spirit, helps you pray beyond your natural understanding, and aligns you with what God is doing in ways you could never achieve on your own.

Through biblical examples and real-life testimonies, this teaching highlights how yielding to the Holy Spirit releases supernatural power, spiritual sensitivity, and deeper intimacy with God. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is presented not as hype or pressure, but as an invitation into more—more strength, more clarity, more fruit, and more partnership with God in everyday life.

Ultimately, this message calls believers to hunger for all that God has, not just salvation, but the fullness of the Spirit that empowers us to truly live out our calling.

If we’re going to build strong lives, strong families, and a strong church, we need more than good intentions—we need the power of the Holy Spirit. In this message, Pastor Cory continues laying a biblical foundation for why the baptism of the Holy Spirit is essential for every believer.

Walking through the book of Acts and Paul’s teaching to the early church, this message brings clarity to the difference between being born again and being filled with the Holy Spirit. From Pentecost to Samaria, from Saul’s conversion to Cornelius’ household, Scripture consistently shows that believers were empowered by the Holy Spirit and spoke in other tongues as He came upon them.

This message addresses common confusion, clears up misconceptions, and shows from God’s Word that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is not strange, outdated, or optional—it is God’s design for strengthening believers and advancing His kingdom. Praying in the Spirit builds us up, sharpens our faith, and releases God’s will beyond what our natural understanding can produce.

If you’re hungry for deeper spiritual strength, clearer direction, and real power to live out your calling, this message will challenge you to believe God for more and receive everything He has made available.

Key Scriptures:
Acts 2 • Acts 8 • Acts 10 • Acts 19 • 1 Corinthians 12–14 • Jude 20

Fasting isn’t about religious pressure or extreme rules—it’s about intentionally setting time aside to hear from God, strengthen your spirit, and reset your priorities. In this message, Pastor Cory brings biblical clarity to what fasting actually is, why Scripture emphasizes fasting from food, and how it positions us to experience real spiritual breakthrough.

Drawing from both the Old and New Testaments, this teaching shows that fasting is meant to get our attention, quiet our flesh, and tune our hearts to what God wants to say and do in us. When done with the right heart, fasting breaks yokes, loosens burdens, and creates space for God’s power to work in deeper ways.

This message invites every believer to ask God meaningful questions during a fast: What have You called me to do? Give me the power to do it. Increase Your anointing in my life. Give me a heart for the advancement of Your kingdom.

If you’re starting a fast—or simply want to understand why fasting matters—this message will ground you in Scripture, strengthen your resolve, and help you step into the new year with purpose and power.

At the beginning of every year, we focus on growth—and this message launches our Born to Build series by returning to one of the most essential foundations of the Christian life: the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

From Jude 20, Acts 1–2, and the words of Jesus Himself, this teaching brings clarity to what it means to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and why praying in the Spirit is vital for every believer. The early church didn’t try to build on willpower, intellect, or tradition—they built themselves up by receiving the Holy Spirit and praying in other tongues.

This message challenges common misunderstandings about the Holy Spirit and reminds us that He is not optional, secondary, or symbolic. He is God—alive, present, and actively empowering believers today. Praying in the Spirit strengthens your inner life, sharpens spiritual awareness, and releases God’s will in ways the natural mind cannot.

If you desire deeper faith, greater clarity, and real spiritual power to live out what God has called you to do, this message sets the foundation. There is more—and God invites every believer to receive it.
