“The woman with the issue of blood who touches Jesus' garment and is healed—Jesus tells her her faith has healed her.”
“Jesus by his own authority in Matthew 9 had the authority to forgive all sins.”

“Jesus Christ had the authority to forgive any sins on earth.”
The service centered on seeking divine wisdom by relying on God as our ultimate guide — summarized as "God GPT" (Grace, Power, Timing). The preacher called listeners to repent, pursue intimacy with the Holy Spirit, embrace the disciplined process of discipleship, and practice integrity, cheerful giving, baptism, and obedience rather than chasing quick fixes or surface-level faith.
“Jesus sees Matthew/Levi sitting at his tax booth and says essentially, 'Leave this table and come follow me.'”
Gavin preaches week three of the "Tables of Transformation" series (the extended table of invitation) using Luke 5 (Levi/Matthew). He argues that Jesus invites people as they are—invitation comes before transformation—and transformed people extend their tables to invite others. Practical application: invite your people to meals, home groups or everyday proximity so outsiders can meet Jesus; evangelism begins by making room.
“Jesus bumps into Matthew, the tax collector; he got up from the booth and became an apostle.”
Jon Tyson preaches that the gospel frees people from the power of their past by practicing a biblical form of 'forgetting,' embracing a redeemed time orientation, and living from the future God promises. Using Paul as an example and drawing on psychological insights about time perspective, he calls listeners to surrender their guilt and shame to Jesus and press toward the new life God offers.
“Jesus met him at his tax booth with a simple invitation, 'follow me,' and Matthew did.”
Sermon using the image of a table (Luke 14 / the Great Banquet) to show that Jesus invites everyone—especially the marginalized—into relationship, illustrated by testimonies of redemption, and closing with an invitation to receive Christ and participate in Holy Week/Easter worship.
“Jesus said, 'Those that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick' (Matthew 9:12).”
A Bible study on God’s ‘‘unstoppable kingdom’’ that explores Acts 19’s account of new believers renouncing occult practices and shows how a prevailing, kingdom-centered faith—modeled by Abraham and grounded in the church—enables believers to overcome sin, receive God’s provision, and walk in victory.
“"They call him the great physician."”
Pastor Lonnell Williams preaches on Acts 2:37-41 (Pentecost), emphasizing that the Spirit’s convicting word calls for genuine repentance, baptism, and reception of the Holy Spirit. He warns against superficial religion and diluted preaching, stresses the gospel’s reach to children and the far off, and issues a clear call to decisive response and generational change.
“Reference to Jairus asking Jesus to heal his daughter, who dies and is subsequently raised by Jesus.”
A sermon using the Jairus story to teach that God's timing often requires patient, persistent faith: God may delay even when it's 'your turn,' but He is present, able, and working—so trust, stay, and measure struggles by the strength of the Savior.
“A woman with a discharge of blood for 12 years came up behind him and touched his garment, saying, 'If I touch even his garment, I will be made well,' and she was healed.”
Jose Rivera preaches from Mark 1–2 on removing religious lenses that distort how we see God, urging the church to embrace Jesus’ grace, preach the Word boldly, and practice faith that brings healing and forgiveness. Using the paralytic and other Gospel stories, he contrasts Jesus’ authority and mercy with the obstructive spirit of religious tradition and calls the congregation to authentic faith, community support, and mission-minded action.
“The woman with the issue of blood touched the hem of his garment and was healed (paraphrase).”
A Sunday service focused on worship and prayer with an extended call to prepare spiritually for an upcoming regional convention. The service emphasized consecration, unity in prayer, expectation and faith for divine visitation, support for church leadership, and invitations to salvation and spiritual growth.
“There was also a woman with the issue of blood... she pressed through the crowd and then she touched him and then she got healed.”
Sermon addressing the 'danger of familiarity' with God — when routine, complacency, or presumption toward God and spiritual things dulls awe, blocks God’s power, and prevents miracles. The preacher warns against taking God for granted, becoming offended by humble vessels, and losing first love; calls people to return to reverent, expectant faith and invites an altar response.
“The woman with the issue of blood who touches Jesus' garment and is healed—Jesus tells her her faith has healed her.”
A Holy Week night of worship that dramatizes "voices from the crowd"—firsthand testimonies of people healed, restored, and seen by Jesus—calling worshippers to praise, repentance, prayer, and an invitation to receive salvation and join the church community ahead of Resurrection Sunday.
“The woman with the issue of blood persisted and touched the hem of Jesus' garment, which made Christ stop.”
A Bible study on Blind Bartimaeus that examines causes and effects of physical blindness, narrates Bartimaeus's persistent plea for mercy and healing, and applies the story to spiritual blindness and the gospel response of faith, repentance, baptism, and receiving the Holy Spirit.
“Jesus walked throughout the region, taught and healed every kind of disease; when he saw the vast crowds his heart was moved with compassion, like wandering sheep without a shepherd.”
A Bible study teaching that God is compassionate and calls the church to be known for active compassion. Using Jesus’ ministry and the Good Samaritan story, Paul Osteen explains that compassion moves from feeling to action, urging believers to keep hearts soft, be sensitive to the Spirit, and use whatever they have to meet needs around them.
“Seeing the people, he felt compassion for them because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd.”
Kevin Batista preaches from the story of Ahab and Micaiah to warn Christians about false consensus, spiritual deception, and leadership that leads people away from God, calling listeners to embrace costly truth, repent, and find true freedom in Christ.
“Seeing the people, he felt compassion for them because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd.”
Kevin Bautista preaches from 1 Kings 22 about truth, deception, and freedom. Using the story of King Ahab and the prophet Micaiah he warns against surrounding yourself with 'yes-people,' encourages trusting and listening to truth-tellers, and calls listeners to 'bow down' to God's will. The sermon connects spiritual deception to spiritual warfare, gives practical application (recognize your inner Ahab, be courageous like Micaiah, help others bow down), and concludes with a gospel invitation and pastoral next steps.
“Jesus 'had compassion on the people because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.'”
Tim Brown teaches that unforgiveness (bitterness) is a pervasive source of spiritual bondage that punishes the holder more than the offender. Drawing on Matthew 18, Matthew 6 and Mark 11, he calls Christians to forgive as God forgave us—absorbing the debt, humanizing the offender, and releasing them—and gives a practical five‑step forgiveness exercise.
“It talks about the harvest fields and how Jesus looked out into the harvest field and was moved with compassion, 'they were like sheep without a shepherd.'”
Message calling believers to leave their old 'grave' (past sin, mindsets, addictions) and surrender to God’s empowering grace. Using the dry bones vision and the image of a lion’s roar, speakers urged listeners to embrace their new identity, authority, and destiny in Christ, resist the enemy by ‘roaring back,’ participate in discipleship and community, and respond in prayer, repentance, and generous giving.
“The harvest is plenteous, but the laborers are few; we need to be praying for God to send us some laborers.”
A call to recover evangelistic synergy by rebuilding on the church’s foundational unity: active participation, mutual collaboration, Holy Spirit–led love, hospitality, and practical servant leadership so congregations can grow, disciple, and impact their communities.
“we can be the few workers because we know the harvest is plentiful, Lord”
Father's Day service focused on honoring earthly fathers and the Heavenly Father, testimonies from fathers at different life stages, and a central call to active, consistent discipleship through daily evangelism, communal fellowship, and faithful stewardship for missions.
“The speaker references Matthew (the harvest and sending out laborers) and quotes, "pray therefore the Lord of the harvest that he will send laborers into his harvest."”

“we know that the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few”
A Sunday service focused on trusting God and adopting the mind of Christ — moving from intellectual belief to active trust, dying to sin, choosing others above self, and intentionally renewing the mind. The service also included testimony on vulnerability and healing, practical teaching on stewardship/giving, corporate worship, prayer, and communion.
““That the harvest is ripe, but the laborers are few.” (paraphrase of Matthew 9:37).”
A practical teaching on why faith sometimes doesn't produce results — identify and correct factors that short‑circuit faith (financial irresponsibility, lack of specificity, silent/private petitions, no agreement with others, failure to speak and confess). Emphasizes learning the 'rules' of faith, praying audibly and specifically, coming into agreement with prayer partners, repaying debts, and taking tangible steps (journals, altar time, faith conference) to activate breakthrough.
