  • The Real Reason You Don’t Live Royal Every Day

    The Real Reason You Don’t Live Royal Every Day
    Feb 1 2026
    Why do you feel strong in one moment… and small in the next? Why do you get encouraged, confident, clear then shrink in familiar places, around familiar people, or under familiar pressure? This message exposes the real reason many of us don’t live fully in who God called us to be every day. It’s not a lack of information. It’s not motivation. It’s not effort. It’s unhealed wounds shaping how we think, react, and repeat patterns we swore we were done with. In this message, you’ll discover: Why confidence fades in certain environments The difference between freedom and true royalty How unhealed wounds distort identity Why repetition shapes belief more than truth How to stop shrinking without pretending or performing This isn’t about wearing a crown at church or when you feel good, It’s about understanding why you take it off in specific moments — and how healing restores what was already yours. You don’t earn royalty. You remember it.

  • This Is What Happens When You Forget You’re Royalty

    This Is What Happens When You Forget You’re Royalty
    Jan 25 2026
    Most people don’t lose their power overnight—they slowly forget who they are. This message reveals what happens when identity is stolen… and how it gets restored. Most people don’t lose their power in a dramatic moment. They adapt. They adjust. They survive. And over time, they forget who they were always meant to be. In this message, Eric Thomas exposes what happens when people forget they’re royalty—how identity gets robbed quietly, how survival replaces authority, and why remembering who you are changes everything. This isn’t about hype. It’s about identity, responsibility, and living from who God intended you to be—not beneath it. If you’ve ever felt like you’re living below your potential, shrinking to fit environments, or settling for less than what you know you’re capable of… this message is for you.

  • God Already Fixed It — You Brought It Back

    God Already Fixed It — You Brought It Back
    Jan 18 2026
    God already healed it. God already fixed it. So why does it keep coming back? In this powerful sermon, Pastor Eric Thomas exposes a truth many believers overlook: sometimes the problem isn’t that God didn’t move—it’s that we reintroduced what He already removed. Using a simple but unforgettable illustration, Eric explains how healing can fail to last when the source stays the same. Just like getting sick again because you kept using an old toothbrush, many of us unknowingly return to the habits, mindsets, and environments God already freed us from. The miracle was real. The healing worked. But the mindset didn’t change. This message will challenge you to stop blaming God for what you keep bringing back—and finally experience lasting transformation. 📌 In this message, you’ll learn: Why some breakthroughs don’t last How self-sabotage quietly delays progress The danger of reintroducing old sources The difference between another year and a new year Why you don’t need another miracle—you need change If you’re tired of going in circles, this message is for you.

  • You Won’t Use a Dirty Cup—So Why Would God Pour Into You?

    You Won’t Use a Dirty Cup—So Why Would God Pour Into You?
    Jan 11 2026
    Most of us wouldn’t drink from a dirty cup — but we still expect God to pour fresh blessings into unclean vessels. In this message, Eric challenges a hard truth: freedom doesn’t remove contamination — instructions do. God isn’t withholding His presence. He’s protecting it. This sermon unpacks why so many people feel free but still stuck, how impatience, insecurity, overthinking, jealousy, and strife quietly contaminate our lives, and why immediate obedience is often the reset we’re praying for. If you’re asking: “Why am I still stuck?” “Why does it feel like God isn’t answering?” “What am I missing in this season?” This message is for you. 👉 This sermon continues a series on moving from another year to a new year by learning how to prepare for what God wants to pour. Chapters 00:00:00 Welcome: The Gift of Today 00:03:14 Exodus 19: God's Instructions for Preparation 00:03:50 God Already Handled It: Trust in His Provision 00:04:45 God Is With You: In Every Season 00:06:17 Don't Do It Alone: Inviting God Into Everything 00:07:37 Wash Your Clothes: Freedom vs. Preparation 00:10:37 The Dirty Cup Illustration: Why God Won't Pour Into Contamination 00:12:47 You Won't Drink Dirty, But You'll Move Forward Dirty 00:17:05 Contamination Inventory: Identifying Your Stains 00:27:23 Teaching Your Kids: Street Wisdom vs. God's Word 00:29:33 Instructions and Warnings: The Tide Pod Challenge Analogy 00:31:00 Exodus 19: Moses Climbs the Mountain 00:35:18 We Will Do Everything: The Full Commitment 00:37:08 The Warning: Don't Touch the Mountain 00:42:14 Permissive Will vs. Perfect Will: Understanding God's Standards 00:45:26 The IRS Analogy: Why We Obey What Has Consequences 00:47:11 Freedom Removes Chains, Instructions Remove Stains 00:56:45 30-Day Homework: Wash Your Glass 01:01:16 Altar Call: Create in Me a Clean Heart 01:04:27 Closing Prayer and Next Steps 📣 CALL TO ACTION (END OF DESCRIPTION) ▶️ Watch with an open heart — and an honest mirror 👍 Like the video if this challenged you 💬 Comment “Clean it first” if this spoke to you 🔔 Subscribe for weekly messages on faith, growth, and alignment

  • Don't Carry Last Year Into This Season

    Don't Carry Last Year Into This Season
    Jan 3 2026
    This year won’t change just because the calendar did. If nothing shifts internally, this season will look exactly like the last one, same stress, same patterns, same outcomes. Not because you’re cursed… but because you’re carrying what was never cleaned. In this message, Eric breaks down why a new year isn’t automatic and why preparation, not intention, determines whether this season becomes your best or your hardest. Drawing from Exodus 19, he unpacks the idea of washing your own clothes—identifying the internal contamination, habits, and responses that quietly sabotage progress. This isn’t about starting over. It’s about stopping the transfer of last year’s weight into this season. If you’re ready for real change, not just motivation, this message is for you. Key themes: • Why “another year” and a “new year” are not the same • How unresolved habits contaminate finances, relationships, and peace • What it actually means to reset before you rebuild • Why some cycles require more than a quick fix 👉 Watch the full message. Stay for the entire conversation. Don’t skip this step.

  • You Don't Have Burnout. Here's What You Actually Have

    You Don't Have Burnout. Here's What You Actually Have
    Dec 27 2025
    You don’t have burnout. Burnout is the symptom — not the root. If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and constantly “needed,” this message challenges the story you’ve been telling yourself. The real issue isn’t laziness, weakness, or even stress. It’s distraction, misplaced responsibility, and carrying burdens God never assigned you. In this message, we unpack: Why busyness often disguises itself as faithfulness How inheriting other people’s anxiety steals your rest Why Jesus repeatedly withdrew — even when people needed Him The biblical rhythm for real rest that restores focus and alignment If you’ve been running on empty, this isn’t a message about doing less — it’s about doing what actually matters.

    Your Burnout Has Nothing to Do With Stress
    Dec 20 2025

In this message, Eric Thomas challenges one of the most common assumptions about burnout and exhaustion—and reveals what’s actually draining you. Using the story of Mary and Martha, this message exposes how busyness, overwork, and misplaced priorities quietly rob us of peace, clarity, and spiritual alignment. Stress isn’t the root problem—it’s the signal that something deeper is off. If you’re doing everything you’re supposed to do but still feel overwhelmed, anxious, or empty, this message is for you.
