Are you dedicated to your routine but feel spiritually numb?

You are Zechariah. In this series-kickoff message from The Cast of Christmas, Pastor Léonce Crump Jr. unpacks Luke 1:5-20 and challenges the Paralysis of the Predictable—the spiritual disease that makes us stop believing God will move. Zechariah, a righteous man, was doing his job when God broke in with a terrifying surprise.

This message reveals that God specializes in disrupting your schedule to unlock your destiny. Discover the three active choices that transform low expectation into powerful, purposeful obedience.

In This Message, You Will Learn:

• Why functional numbness (spiritual routine) is the real enemy of faith.

• The story of Zechariah's doubt and the cost of his low expectation.

• The three steps to overcome spiritual paralysis (Embrace the Silence, Meditate on the Promise, Speak the Purpose).

• How your obedience prepares the way for the King’s ultimate purpose (Prophetic Fulfillment).

Many Christians believe in Jesus but struggle to live like Him. In this powerful message, Breanna calls the church to pursue true holiness — not perfection, but full surrender. This is not a word of condemnation, but of invitation — an invitation to ascend the hill of the Lord and see God’s glory poured out in our lives, our families, and our city.

We live in a culture that says, “Do what feels right to you.” But God is calling His people to say, “Do what’s right before Me.” If you’re tired of surface-level Christianity and ready to live a life of purity, power, and purpose, this message is for you.

Are you worried about the final judgment? Jesus reveals a terrifying truth: the opposite of love is not hate—it's indifference.

In this powerful climax to the Overflow series, Pastor Léonce Crump Jr. unpacks Matthew 25:31-46 (The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats). He argues that the final exam of faith isn't what you believed, but what you did because the King intentionally hides His identity in the marginalized. This message challenges the Lie of Separation that allows us to ignore suffering. Discover how to move from spiritual numbness to active love, and secure your eternal reward by investing in the Currency of the Kingdom.

Are you running your life on high-functioning anxiety? You believe worry is your safety net—a crucial tool for planning and strategy. But Jesus calls it functional atheism.

In this powerful message from the Overflow series, Pastor Léonce Crump Jr. challenges the idea that you can control your future by sacrificing your present peace. Drawing from Matthew 6:25-34 (The Parable of the Birds), he diagnoses anxiety as a spiritual misdirection—a sin that replaces the necessity of seeking God’s kingdom with the futility of chasing self-provision.

If you are tired of the anxiety treadmill, watch and discover the simple but radical shift that releases you from the burden of self-reliance and grants you the overflow of peace.

In This Message, You Will Learn:

• The three logical reasons why worry is futile (The Bird Test).
• Why anxiety is functional atheism (a failure to trust God's track record).
• The ultimate Kingdom strategy for provision (Matthew 6:33).
• How to stop hoarding resources out of fear and start giving extravagantly out of trust.

In this message, Pastor Leonce confronts the lie of enough, the false belief that just a little more money, success, or security will finally satisfy us. Preaching from Luke 12:15–21, the parable of the rich fool, he exposes how the pursuit of “more” often leads to spiritual emptiness instead of peace.

This sermon invites believers to rediscover contentment in Christ, embrace generosity, and live free from the anxiety of materialism. If you’ve ever struggled with finding peace in your finances, career, or possessions, this message will speak directly to your heart.

What if the thing you fear most is actually the key to experiencing God’s power? In this powerful message, Len unpacks the truth of 2 Timothy 1:7 and how God equips us to overcome fear through His supernatural power, grounding love, and a sound mind.
