Pentecost represents a divine catalyst for spiritual advancement, calling believers to move beyond their past limitations into God's empowering presence. Today's message explores how the Holy Spirit transforms ordinary people by filling them with supernatural power to fulfill their God-given purpose.

• Pentecost celebrates renewal, restoring what has been devoured by life's difficulties
• The Holy Spirit fills not just buildings but individual believers, equipping each person uniquely
• God accepts us with our imperfections, demonstrated through the leavened bread offerings in Leviticus
• Character development must match our spiritual calling to avoid personal shipwreck
• Peter's journey from denial to boldness illustrates God's redemptive power through the Spirit
• Waiting with expectation alongside other believers creates an atmosphere for breakthrough
• The 50th day represents God's perfect timing for supernatural intervention
• Generational connection between seniors and young adults strengthens the church body
• Spiritual gifts need activation through intentional asking and openness to God's power
• Moving forward requires both the power of the Holy Spirit and our willing participation

Join us tomorrow evening as we continue pressing into God's presence. We believe supernatural manifestations of the Spirit will continue to shower down as we gather in faith and expectancy.

Welcome To Chosen City Church! We are excited to you have worship with us today and we pray that this sermon blesses you!

Intro and outro created by Joe Anderson Jr. of Truflava Productions

The power of praise has transformative effects that extend from understanding the Word to prophesying, experiencing deliverance, sharing testimony, and finally expressing genuine praise to God.

• Biblical praise means to boast about God, not ourselves, and sometimes requires looking foolish in the eyes of others
• David's journey to recover the Ark of the Covenant teaches that we lose our praise when we don't understand God's ways yet receive blessings despite our mistakes
• True worship may appear undignified to others, but God sees the heart behind your praise
• Your praise needs to come before your breakthrough – it's an act of faith to celebrate in advance
• The enemy attacks your praise because he knows its power to transform your situation
• Everyone has their own praise expression, whether quiet or demonstrative, but all praise must be authentic
• Many people withhold praise because of pride, concern about appearance, or unwillingness to be vulnerable
• Supernatural testimonies arise when believers collectively praise God with abandon

Join us in church, as we experience the power of praise together. Your breakthrough might be connected to your willingness to praise without inhibition.

Intro and outro created by Joe Anderson Jr. of Truflava Productions

We examine the concept of testifying about our faith journey and how our personal stories become powerful spiritual weapons against the enemy. The blood of Jesus and our testimonies work together to defeat satanic forces in our lives.

• Revelation 12:11 shows believers overcome through the blood of the Lamb and word of their testimony
• God doesn't personally battle Satan because they're not equals – our enemies are lightweight to Him
• 1 John 5:4 promises that everyone born of God overcomes the world
• Sin exposes us but the blood covers us, starting in Genesis with Adam and Eve
• Our testimonies demonstrate God's faithfulness despite our failures and shortcomings
• Changing your circle can dramatically alter your spiritual trajectory
• Personal struggles become powerful testimonies when shared authentically
• Romans 8:28 proves all experiences work together for good in God's hands
• Survivor's guilt can be healed through understanding God's purpose for your life
• Parents' prayers have extraordinary power to protect children in spiritual warfare

The enemy is defeated by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony. Don't be ashamed to share what God has brought you through - your story is a weapon that will help defeat the enemy in someone else's life.

Intro and outro created by Joe Anderson Jr. of Truflava Productions

Deliverance is necessary for everyone, not just a specific denomination, and Jesus is always looking to set the captives free no matter where we are in our spiritual journey or what bondage we face.

• Deliverance frees us from spiritual bondage, oppression, negative influences, and intense grief
• Many people are surviving but not thriving because they need to be delivered from demonic influence
• The enemy's greatest trick is making the world believe he doesn't exist
• Some issues can't be fixed in the gym, doctor's office, or counselor's office—they require spiritual intervention
• Jesus sees us in our struggles and crosses whatever barrier necessary to reach us
• We must identify our demons specifically by name to break their power
• Demonic influence often enters through invitation, compromise, or generational patterns
• We must cast out demons by commanding them to leave in Jesus' name
• After deliverance, the empty spaces must be filled with the Holy Spirit
• Your deliverance is a testimony that will help others find freedom
• Not everyone will celebrate your deliverance—some profit from your bondage
• The pigs in our lives—areas of compromise—must die for complete freedom

If you're struggling with bondage today, remember you're not fighting alone. Cast out what's holding you back in Jesus' name and allow God to fill those spaces with His purpose.

Intro and outro created by Joe Anderson Jr. of Truflava Productions

We highlight the power of the word of God and deliverance from demonic influence in our "It's in the Word" sermon series as we journey toward Pentecost Sunday. Our focus today is on understanding how spiritual forces impact our lives and breaking free through divine authority.

• The Bible teaches us that Jesus is the Word made flesh, meaning wherever we go, He goes with us
• Demonic influence is real—affecting relationships, schools, businesses, and government
• Demons enter our lives through doors we open through words, habits, and unresolved issues
• Seven common symptoms of demonic influence include persistent emotional problems, mental disturbances, speech issues, and physical infirmities
• Deliverance requires honesty, humility, repentance, renunciation, forgiveness, prayer, and spiritual warfare
• We must redirect our battles away from people and toward spiritual forces
• True freedom comes when you position your spiritual weapons against the enemy, not against family or colleagues
• Deliverance often begins at the altar through genuine worship and surrender

This is your exodus moment. Whatever has held you captive—whether depression, addiction, fear, or generational patterns—can be broken today through the powerful name of Jesus.

Intro and outro created by Joe Anderson Jr. of Truflava Productions

The prophetic isn't spooky or weird—it's a powerful tool God has given every believer to change their circumstances through faith-filled words. When we understand biblical prophecy as speaking by divine inspiration, we can transform our valleys of despair into places of resurrection power.

• Everyone can operate in the prophetic gift, not just those with the office of prophet
• Prophecy serves for edification (building), exhortation (invoking divine help), and comfort (connection)
• The valley (difficult places in life) is precisely where prophetic declarations have the most power
• Our prophetic authority isn't dependent on our perfection but on our position with God
• Words of faith can literally change circumstances when inspired by the Holy Spirit
• We must stop "cursing" our future by speaking negatively and instead declare God's perspective
• True prophecy requires prayer, faith, and being filled (not just indwelled) with the Holy Spirit
• Many believers have salvation but haven't experienced the empowering fullness of the Spirit
• The prophetic breakthrough happens when we stop waiting for someone else to speak and open our own mouths

Join our Monday night prayer call at 8:00 PM. Your prayer life will activate the prophetic gift within you.

Intro and outro created by Joe Anderson Jr. of Truflava Productions

Pastor Walt delivers a passionate call for believers to rediscover the transformative power of God's Word as the ultimate source of breakthrough, guidance, and spiritual nourishment in their lives.

• The Word of God comes to us in five different forms: God's direct speech, personal address, through human lips, written scripture, and Jesus Christ himself
• Modern society has reduced the Word to sound bites and application without proper interpretation
• Like a tree planted by water, those who meditate on God's Word have strong roots and bear fruit in every season
• The enemy tries to steal the Word through lack of understanding, shallow roots, or letting worldly concerns crowd it out
• Isaiah 55 extends four invitations: to eat and drink from God's provision, to listen for true life, to seek the Lord while He can be found, and to understand God's higher thoughts
• Every need, answer, and breakthrough you seek is already available in the Word
• God's Word never returns void but accomplishes everything He intends

If you've been blessed by today's message, I encourage you to bring your physical Bible to church each week. There's power in reconnecting with the written Word, marking passages that speak to you, and building your faith through consistent study of God's promises.

Intro and outro created by Joe Anderson Jr. of Truflava Productions

God's favor is freely given, undeserved kindness that looks beyond our faults and sees our needs, unlike rewards based on good behavior. This message explores how to receive and walk in divine favor during challenging times.

• Favor requires genuine connection to God, not just church attendance
• God prunes both dead things and dying things in our lives to increase fruitfulness
• Remaining connected to Christ produces an overflow of joy that becomes our strength
• The redemptive power of favor is seen in Christ's atonement for our sins
• God's favor reveals His purposes and plans for our lives as we obey
• You are chosen and appointed by God for a specific purpose that comes with an anointing

If you need a fresh connection with God or want to experience His favor in your life, we invite you to respond today. God has not brought you this far to leave you - your answer only needs to be "yes."
