Your family is worth fighting for. Families build society. And each family is built on a strong marriage. In this message, Pastor Luke explains that a successful marriage and family do not just happen. Instead, both take intentionality, and God in his kindness has given us his Holy Spirit to empower us to be successful in the roles we fill. This me…

Our actions impact our feelings. God has commissioned Christians to preach the Gospel everywhere. But too often, Christians wait for the right feelings before telling someone about Jesus.

In the book of Acts, the early church experienced the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. That baptism is still available today.

This is a tool that often goes unhe…

When a couple marries, the two become one. The Bible describes our union with Jesus as a marriage covenant. We become one with Jesus. What is his becomes our own. When Jesus died on the cross he died so that we could have access to healing, wisdom, provision, and whatever else we may need. As a child of God, you have rights. One being healing. List…

In this message, Pastor Luke examines Paul's visit to Athens. Paul uses creation as proof of God's existence. He then goes on to teach that God has an appointed time for all things, even you.

You are anointed for a purpose. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons (Matthew 10:8). God did not anoint you just so you can say you are anointed. He anointed you to go and do. To be like Jesus on earth. Listen to this last message of the Almost Heaven series to hear what Jesus did and what you are to do too!…

A victim mentality is a tendency to blame other people or circumstances for where you are in life. But God has created people to be like him. He has given dominion to those who are followers of Christ. With dominion comes the responsibility to take action. We must be intentional about putting on the new nature of Christ to make an impact in our com…

Drudgery is a test of life. When you continue day in and day out, doing the same things over and over, you can begin to question if what you do matters. If you're not following God's plan for your life, the enemy wouldn't bother trying to discourage you. God wants you to pass the test of the mundane. This message is a reminder that what you do, DOE…

What is excellent today is mediocre tomorrow. In order to succeed in the call of God on our lives we must be cautious of three things: fear of failure, fear of disappointment, and success.

In this message, Pastor Josiah teaches…

In concluding the series we believe, pastor Luke speaks on two areas that have the potential to hinder our growth in faith. These two areas are sin and love.

For our Wednesday night prayer service, pastor Luke teaches on the value of our perception of Jesus and the word. It's not enough to simply read God's word if we don't also perceive it as having deep value and power.By Centerbranch Church

In continuing our series, we believe, pastor Luke teaches on how faith is evidence in the unseen. Genuine faith speaks in alignment with God's word even when it feels contrary to the natural. Our faith must be detached from the natural realm and fully given over to what God's word says regarding the situation. Even when it cannot yet be seen in the…

God has made faith to be simple. Faith becomes complicated when it is made to appeal to natural understanding and reasoning. It is our decision as to whether or not we choose to agree and submit ourselves to the word of God or whether we complicate it.By Centerbranch Church

There is a tendency in the natural for people to split their loyalty between God and worldly things. However, we must be people who decide to fully serve and be loyal to God.

When we fast and seek the Lord, we increase our level of energy and strength in the Lord. Fasting energizes our spirit and fills us with fresh passion for the Lord.By Centerbranch Church

What is the root of all evil? The love of money is the root. God in His kindness instructs us to give, not for his benefit, but ours.

Order matters in every area of our lives. This matters especially with the things that we choose to put first. The Bible gives us specific instructions on how the first portion of everything that we have is to be given to God. When we give God the first portion of our day, our week, our money, we can be sure that the rest of it is blessed.…

God desires to bless us, but it requires our obedience. We have the choice to be obedient to God in our tithing and finances. This requires us to be surrendered to the Lord and trusting of His goodness.By Centerbranch Church

God desires for you to be blessed in every area of your life and He knows what is best for you. One of the biggest areas is in our giving. God desires that we would be people who live selfless lives and who are willing to give generously in any area.By Centerbranch Church

As Christians, we must be people who have balance in our lives. Our time in the secret place needs to be developed in proportion to the public assignments and places. We must be spiritually disciplined to make sure to prioritize both of these areas and keep ourselves in alignment with God's will.By Centerbranch Church

The church and the people of God have been given power and authority through the name of Jesus. When we pray, we have the ability to create great impact when we use this authority.
