Healing
Why the Humble Heart Receives God's Healing
Healing requires two forces working together: faith and the healing power of God, and a humble heart willing to learn how they connect. Drawing from Luke 5 and Mark 5, Pastor Hufton shows that every person who received healing had to overcome an obstacle, a rooftop, a crowd, to connect their faith with God's power. Our primary obstacle today is pride…
Hear the Word and Be Healed
In this powerful message, Pastor Mirek Hufton challenges the congregation to rethink how healing is received.

Do You Believe in Divine Healing?
God's primary method of delivering healing is through His Word.

God's very first…
The Gifts of the Spirit

Renew Your Mind
In this powerful message, Pastor Chris Hufton challenges believers to fix their minds on what God says is true, not on their current circumstances or the whispers of the enemy.

Benefits of Being in Christ
Key Scriptures: Galatians 2:20; Hebrews 10:12; Ephesians 2:6 Building on Easter's declaration that "It is finished," I unpacked what it truly means to live in the benefits of being in Christ.

The Power of Persistent Prayer

Fasting: Getting Serious with God

Fulfilling Your Divine Call
Every person carries an eternal calling from God, chosen before the foundation of the world with divine purpose. But as Jesus warned in Matthew 22:14, "Many are called, but few are chosen." The sobering question Pastor Hufton raises is this: will you simply be called, or will you be chosen? The path from called to chosen runs directly through God's tests.…

Fresh Wind. Fresh Anointing. Fresh Fire
God promises fresh oil, fresh fire, and living water, but receiving greater anointing requires developing greater character.

The message is anchored by a remarkable true story: during Pastor…
