In this powerful and faith-building episode, we unpack a simple football lesson that reveals a profound biblical truth: the game is won when you begin with the Word. Just like every game starts with a kickoff, victory in life begins when you start your day, your decisions, and every season of your life grounded in God’s Word.

Before the phone, before the emails, before social media — begin with the Word. Because when you begin with the Word, you end in victory. Rooted in John 1 and Luke 1:37, this message reminds us that the Word of God never fails — not in crisis, not in uncertainty, not in struggle, and not even in our weakest moments.

Through powerful football analogies, this episode reveals:

• Why believers are called to play offense, not defense

• How God sometimes places you in “shotgun” — separation for preparation, not punishment

• The importance of spiritual protection, renewing your mind, and holding the Word close to your heart

• How to overcome life’s tackles without losing possession of your purpose

• Why your season of delay may actually be divine alignment

• How to hear God clearly and move forward with confidence

• The power of praise, faith, and obedience to outmaneuver the enemy

• Why 2026 is a year of forward progress, recovery, and victory

You will be encouraged to go deeper in God’s Word, guard your mind, surround yourself with faith-filled believers, and trust that even when life tackles you, if you hold on to the Word, you will rise again.

This episode is a call to step onto the field, stop playing defense, and advance with bold faith — because when you begin with the Word, run with the Word, and live by the Word… the Word wins.

In this powerful message, Pastor Sam lays the foundation for why your connection to the Church determines the strength of every other relationship in your life.

In this sermon, you’ll discover:

• Why your vertical relationship with God produces horizontal consequences

• How your atmosphere can either align with or sabotage your anointing

• Why the Church of Jesus Christ is unstoppable—and what that means for you

• What Jesus really meant by “the gates of hell will not prevail”

• Why the Church is meant to live on offense, not defense

• How submitting to Christ’s authority brings clarity, order, and victory

• Why Christianity was never meant to be lived alone

Empires fall. Cultures shift. Systems reset. But the Church of Jesus Christ is still alive—and if you’re part of it, so are you.

This message will challenge how you see the Church, reshape how you see yourself, and ignite bold faith to declare victory right in front of hell’s gates.

Better is one day in God’s presence than a thousand anywhere else. In this powerful message from Psalm 84:10–11, Pastor Sam reveals the redemptive story behind the Sons of Korah—descendants of rebellion who became authors of worship. Though Korah’s rebellion in Numbers 16 brought judgment, God’s grace redeemed the next generation, proving that past failure does not disqualify future worship. This sermon declares that God can judge rebellion without canceling destiny, confront sin without destroying the future, and discipline one generation without disqualifying the next. You’ll discover that redemption positions you closer than rebellion ever pushed you away, that broken legacies can become worshiping bloodlines, and that God does not need permission to bless, favor, or use your life. Rooted in Psalm 84, this message prophesies that 2026 will be a year defined by the presence of God, where good things come to those who dwell with Him, pursue righteousness, and live redeemed. Better is one day in His courts—and good things are coming your way.
