From the Pulpit

Pastor Harland dives into the story of Peter in Acts chapter 12 to reveal that sometimes the miracle you've been asking for is already waiting right outside the door of your faith—and all you need to do is open it. In this sermon, you will learn: What it means to pray with "fervent" zeal and stop being lazy in your walk with God. How Peter was able to sleep soundly on the night before his scheduled execution because he trusted God's promise. The difference between praying out of anxiety and getting into the Victory Formation of faith to receive what God has already provided. A powerful reminder: God is moved by your faith, not the length of your repetitive prayers. Watch and learn how to trade your anxiety-filled prayers for rejoicing faith today!

Join us for a powerful message from our "Wednesday-N-The-Word" series where we dive into the life-changing topic of Recognizing and Releasing God's Power in Your Life. Many believers live below their potential, operating on superficial knowledge rather than accessing the supernatural power that dwells within them through the Holy Spirit. This teaching challenges us to move beyond mere information to experience true transformation. Pastor explains the incredible truth of Ephesians 3:20: "Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think, according to the power that is at work within us...". This power enables us to overcome struggles, live in excellence, and achieve breakthroughs beyond our human limits.

The Demon of Diversion | November 9th 2025 Are you constantly being pulled away from God's best for your life? Pastor Harlon delivers a powerful, challenging message on The Demon of Diversion, revealing the enemy's subtle strategy to make you miss your divine assignment. A diversion is an action or event designed to pull your attention away from what you are concentrating on. The Bible is clear: you have a Kingdom Assignment attached to your life, and Satan's primary goal isn't to destroy you—it's to simply keep you diverted long enough to miss God's plan for your family and future. Key Takeaways From This Message: Set Your Face Like Flint: Learn how Jesus demonstrated an unbreakable will and deep trust to complete his task—a resolve we must embrace today. Don't Miss the Promised Land: The Israelites saw amazing miracles, yet they were diverted by fear and giants, ultimately missing their destiny. Peter's Mistake: The moment Peter took his eyes off the assignment (Jesus) and focused on the diversion (the wave), he began to sink in fear. The Power of Your Faith: Even faith the size of a mustard seed is enough to speak to the "mountains" (diversions) in your life and command them to move, bringing your family's miracle. The Inheritance of God's Children Pastor Harland clarifies the popular verse from Isaiah 54, asserting that "No weapon formed against you shall prosper" only when you walk in righteousness and refuse to be distracted by diversions. Don't let the enemy win. Stand up, man up, woman up, and say, "I will not be diverted any longer!"

Spiritual Gift of Healing - Wednesday-N-The-Word In this powerful message, Pastor challenges the notion that the spiritual gift of healing is obsolete.

Learn how to cultivate the faith required to see God work in your life and the lives of those you love!

Consider Your Ways | Sep 2nd 2025 Are you feeling busy but unproductive? Doing all the "right things" but still feeling an emptiness or a void? In this powerful message, Pastor from Cowboy Church of Orange County dives into the challenging yet vital command from the book of Haggai (Haggai 1:5): "Consider your ways." The prophet Haggai confronted the people of Israel for prioritizing their own comfort (their 'paneled houses') while God's Temple lay in ruins. Pastor brings this ancient message into modern life, reminding us that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Are we leaving our personal temple in ruins while focusing on worldly pursuits? This sermon asks us to take an honest look at our lives—where we're sowing much but bringing in little, and where our spiritual hunger remains despite our efforts. Key Points in this Message: You cannot change what you refuse to confront. Sometimes good things fall apart so that better things can fall together. Stop blaming others: For each one should carry their own load (Galatians 6:5). In your moments of waiting, know that God is always working. God's promises are stronger than your problems (2 Corinthians 1:20). Your identity is not in your failure, but in Christ. It's time to stop being "woe out" and start confronting the ways that keep you from the fullness of life in Christ. Watch now to start your journey of honest self-reflection and renewal!

Watchanotgonnado: A Call to Spiritual Maturity In this straight-shooting message, Pastor uses a simple, memorable phrase from his childhood—"Watchanotgonnatodo"—and applies it to God's word. This isn't just about the Ten Commandments; it's a powerful call for every Christian to move beyond being a "baby Christian" and embrace the maturity and commitment that comes with following Jesus. Drawing wisdom from the Book of Ephesians, the Pastor challenges us on four main points: Stop Being Unholy: Don't be a spiritual expert inside the church only to live an unholy life outside its doors (Ephesians 1:4). Stop Being Ignorant: God commands us to gain wisdom and knowledge. You are not going to sit in church and remain clueless about who God is and what His Word says (Ephesians 1:17). Stop Being "Whippy-Whippy": Quit being a weak Christian who lets every shift in the wind shake your faith (Ephesians 3:14). It’s time to be strengthened with might in your inner man! Stop Two-Timing Jesus: Do not live a life that brings shame or repercussions back to the name of God, and if you've been unfaithful, get on your knees and ask for forgiveness. This sermon is a profound reminder that what you do outside of church is a reflection of the name you wear.
