MITs - Messages on Faith KCOH | 07.29.26 | Wednesday Bible Study

A Bible-study style message on faith titled "Manifestation: Maintenance Leads to Manifestation." Speakers teach faith as a heart-and-mouth response to God's promises, using the centurion (Matthew 8) and the parable of the sower (Mark 4) to show how to obtain results by (1) finding a promise, (2) speaking the word, and (3) acting in faith. Practical maintenance—regular spiritual disciplines, removal of 'other things,' stewardship (giving), and taking authority in prayer—is emphasized as necessary for heavenly promises to produce earthly manifestation. The service includes offering exhortation, altar calls for salvation, rededication and church membership, and prayers for healing.

FREED | Rejection - Sam Gibson

Pastor Sam Gibson teaches from Romans 8 that rejection is inevitable for Christians, but God uses it to form us. The solution to being shaped by rejection or enslaved by the need for human recognition is the Spirit of adoption—receiving identity, status, and inheritance in Christ so we can respond to rejection from the place of being beloved. He contrasts the imposter/orphan self (performance, people-pleasing, needing recognition) with the beloved/adopted self (secure, free to risk, rooted in the Father's love) and issues practical invitations to receive healing and be reborn into that reality.

Gavin preaches week three of the "Tables of Transformation" series (the extended table of invitation) using Luke 5 (Levi/Matthew).

The Sifting Is Revealing What’s Real |God is Still God Series|Ptr. Shane Abbott|Father's Day Sunday

Pastor Shane teaches that seasons of shaking or 'sifting' are not proof of failure but are God’s process to remove what cannot go with you (the chaff) and reveal and strengthen what can (the wheat). Using Peter's denial and a contemporary testimony, he emphasizes that Jesus prays for our faith to survive the sifting, and gives practical steps—recognize lies, replace them with truth, engage community, pray and take thoughts captive.
