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.

2026 is not just another year. It is The Year of His Glory. The Year of No More Veils.

Built on Psalm 84:11 (NLT) — “He gives us grace and glory, and the Lord will withhold no good thing…” — this message shifts our focus from simply experiencing God’s presence to living in the visible glory of God.

Grace comes in. Glory comes out. Good things follow.

This message will stir your faith, reshape what you believe, and call you into a life of unveiled freedom and transformation.

• Why the glory of God is seen, not just felt (Exodus 33:18) • How God’s glory fills, protects, and transforms every area of your life (Isaiah 60:1; Haggai 2:7; 2 Corinthians 3:18) • Why belief, not emotion, is the gateway to seeing God’s glory (John 11:40; Mark 9:23) • What the veil represents and how turning to Jesus removes it (2 Corinthians 3:16–17) • The difference between temporary encounters and a permanent, glory-filled relationship with Christ • How 2026 becomes the year you and your house go from glory to glory

If you’re ready to stop living behind the veil and start walking in visible, undeniable faith, this message is for you.

In this episode, Pastor Sam unpacks what it means to confess God’s promises with faith, explaining how what we speak shapes what we see, aligning biblical truth with scientific insight. This message calls believers to arise and shine, to walk protected by the armor of God, and to live boldly under the covering of Christ.

This is a declaration that 2026 will not be a year of defeat, fear, or despair, but a year of grace, second chances, healing, restoration, and forward momentum. Grace that forgives and sustains. Glory that transforms us from glory to glory. And good things that come from the Father, through the Son, and by the Holy Spirit.

This episode is a call to step confidently into the throne of grace, to stop begging and start believing, and to live as sons and daughters of God, covered, empowered, and destined for His glory.

2026 is the year of grace, glory, and good things.

In this podcast, Pastor Sam reminds us of a powerful truth: you’re still here because God isn’t finished with you.

What the enemy meant to take you out didn’t work. What should’ve stopped you didn’t stop you. And what tried to silence your praise only made it stronger.

As we close out 2025, Pastor Sam declares that we’re not just looking at God’s promises — we’re stepping into them. New doors are opening. New territory is being taken. And God’s plan over your life cannot be denied.

This message is a call to remember where God brought you from, recognize what He preserved you through, and step forward with praise into what’s next.

From glory to glory, we’re moving ahead. 2026 — it’s time to step in.

In this episode, Pastor Sam unpacks the prophetic weight of Isaiah 9:6 and the name El Gibbor, revealing that Jesus is not symbolically strong or becoming mighty. He is Mighty God by nature. From the womb to the cross to the empty tomb, Christ has always been victorious.

This message reminds us that when our strength runs out, God steps in and fights for us. As Scripture declares, “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still” (Exodus 14:14), and “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31). Jesus rules over every power and authority, for “all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me” (Matthew 28:18), and nothing is too hard for our God (Jeremiah 32:17).

Pastor Sam also teaches that God’s might is redemptive, not just destructive. “The Lord your God is in your midst, a Mighty One who will save” (Zephaniah 3:17). At the cross, Jesus disarmed every power and defeated the enemy once and for all (Colossians 2:15). The cross did not weaken Him. It revealed Him.

Isaiah 9:6 declares Jesus as our Wonderful Counselor, and in this message Pastor Samuel Rodriguez reveals why God begins with counsel before power, peace, or might. The voices we listen to shape the lives we live, and Pastor Sam calls us to return to the voice that leads us into truth and purpose.

In this episode you will learn: • Why “Wonderful Counselor” is the first prophetic title given to Jesus • How the advice you receive determines the life you lead • Why God asks “Where are you?” instead of “How are you?” • How wrong voices lead to confusion, delay, and spiritual detours • The difference between worldly counsel and the counsel of the Holy Spirit • What it means to live in Him—in His presence, promises, and finished work • Why 2026 must become a year of ordering, not wandering • How God restores, guides, and aligns your steps when you listen to His voice

Key Scriptures: Isaiah 9:6, Proverbs 19:20, John 10:27, Psalm 23, Isaiah 30:21, Colossians 3:3, Psalm 91:1, Proverbs 3

Step into a deeper understanding of the Counselor who guides, heals, restores, and orders your path. Let this word reposition your heart and reset your hearing for the new year.
