From the Pulpit

Are you recognizing God’s power in your life but struggling to actually release it? In this powerful Wednesday-N-The-Word (WNTW) message, we dive deep into the second step of walking in the supernatural: moving from belief to activation. It’s one thing to have the "credit card" of God’s promises, but it’s another thing to activate it. Many believers are living far below their potential because they’ve been duped by condemnation or have stayed too long in their comfort zones. Join us as we explore how to bridge the gap between "cliché faith" and "living faith" by being obedient in the small things, so God can trust us with the big things.

Have you ever felt trapped in your own mind, overwhelmed by worry, doubt, or "I thought" moments? In this powerful message from the Cowboy Church of Orange County, we dive into Psalm 77 to explore the danger of an idle mind and how the enemy uses it as a playground for anxiety and despair. Learn the difference between distress and despair, and discover how to take the metaphorical "key" to lock the enemy out of your thoughts. Using the "Three Ps of Negative Thinking"—Personal, Permanent, and Pervasive—this sermon provides biblical tools to break free from negative patterns and shift your focus back to the miracles and mighty deeds of God.

Are you settling for "good enough" in your spiritual life when God has "the best" waiting for you? In this powerful message, we dive into the miracle of Jesus turning water into wine and what it reveals about God’s desire to pour an abundance of grace, strength, and authority into your life. Drawing from John Chapter 2 and the stories of Blind Bartimaeus and the woman at the well, this sermon challenges us to stop running from the enemy and start walking in the authority God has already given us. Whether you are seeking physical healing, emotional breakthrough, or a deeper revelation of Jesus Christ, it’s time to pass your cup—because the wine just got good!

Are you running from the challenges in your life, or are you standing firm in the authority God has given you? In this powerful message from the Cowboy Church of Orange County, we explore what it truly means to move beyond receiving God’s grace to actively walking in His authority. Many Christians understand salvation and grace but struggle to use the spiritual power they’ve been endued with through the Holy Spirit. Through personal visions and biblical teaching from 1 Peter 5, this message challenges you to "quit running" from the enemy and start using your voice to command change in your health, your family, and your spiritual walk.

Are you letting "little gods" interfere with your spiritual growth? In this powerful second installment of the "What’s Next" series, Pastor Harland at the Cowboy Church of Orange County (CCOC) dives into the book of Judges and Exodus to explore the "golden calves" we worship in modern society. From the "calf of forgetfulness" to the "calf of unforgiveness," this sermon challenges us to examine our hearts and repent of the subtle idols—like materialism and self-will—that keep us from experiencing God's best. Whether you're facing a storm or walking through a season of blessing, learn how to keep your focus on Jesus and find peace that transcends your circumstances. In this video, you will learn: How to maintain joy in the "bad times" as well as the good. The biblical mandate for unlimited forgiveness. The dangers of "spiritual forgetfulness" regarding God's past provisions. How to submit your self-will to the higher ways of God.

In this powerful message, "What's Next?", we dive into the biblical significance of the 40 days following the resurrection of Jesus and what it means for the Church today. As we look toward the year 2033—the "Year of Jubilee" and the 2,000-year anniversary of the resurrection—we ask the question: Are we prepared for the returning King? Pastor Harland breaks down the process of Sanctification and Growing in Holiness, emphasizing that these are the essential next steps after salvation. He also explores the different types of faith, including Saving Faith, Temporary Faith, Miraculous Faith, and the danger of Inherited Faith. Join us as we learn why "without faith, it is impossible to please God" and how your personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the key to what’s next in your life.

In this powerful Easter message, we celebrate the cornerstone of the Christian faith: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The empty tomb isn't just a historical event—it is a living promise that changes everything for us today.

Whether you are walking through a season of "shattered expectations" or looking for a fresh start, this message reveals how the risen Christ offers hope, victory over death, and the power to begin your story again.

How the resurrection serves as God’s ultimate "rescue plan" for humanity. Practical steps to move from a "casual" faith to a vibrant, risen life in Christ.

Welcome to our Palm Sunday service at the Cowboy Church of Orange County.
