How to Remove it All | A Call to Holiness | Pastor Jason McMullen

Deeper Fellowship ChurchJul 2026

Pastor Jason McMullen exhorts the church to pursue holiness by removing even the smallest traces of sin (the "hint"), grounding the call in Ephesians 5 and other Scriptures. He stresses God's seriousness about sin, the higher standard for believers, and offers seven practical steps—prayer, relying on given tools (Word, Spirit, community), identifying habits/hang-ups/hindrances, confession and repentance, embracing grace, accepting consequences/accountability, and embracing freedom—to help Christians remove sinful patterns and host greater presence and breakthrough.

My Inheritance | Pastor William McDowell

Deeper Fellowship ChurchAug 2026

Pastor William McDowell teaches that our true inheritance is God Himself — intimate, present communion with the Father made possible by Christ's redemption and the indwelling Holy Spirit. Conviction and even judgment are reframed as evidence of God's nearness and loving pursuit, and holiness is presented not as a list of rules but as the natural fruit of living in God's presence. The sermon issues an invitation to 'remove' whatever hinders intimacy with God and to pursue the present and future reality of the kingdom.

Freed | Sin - Sam Gibson

Church of the City New YorkApr 2026
