God has both a divine and a human family, and as believers in Jesus, we are part of His human family. But with that comes responsibility—our free will allows us to choose obedience or disobedience.
In Genesis 3, we see how the enemy deceived Eve, not by offering her something new, but by making her question what she already had. Today, we face similar challenges. Our choices either honor God and release His Kingdom on eart...
You and I have an essential part in God’s plan for the earth. God rules but he rules through his heavenly council and also through his earthly family, not because he needs to but because he wants to. Pastor Max helps us to understand that God designed us to bring heaven on earth.
In this powerful sermon, Pastor Max explores the name Elohim, the first name of God revealed in the Bible. From the very beginning, Elohim created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1).

Though God created everything, He was not alone. Job 38:7 reveals that angels celebrated as God laid the earth’s fo...
In this powerful sermon, Pastor Max unpacks Philippians 2:1-11, revealing the humility of Jesus as He emptied Himself, took on human form, and obeyed God to the point of death on the cross. Through the cross, Jesus disarmed principalities and powers, stripping them of their strength (Colossians 2:15). He took Satan’s power away and gave us authority to overcome the enemy (Luke 10:19). As believers, we have access to God's limi...
In this sermon, Pastor Max explores the story of Melchizedek, the priest of God who appeared to Abraham long before the law was given.

He blessed Abram, praising God for his victory, reminding us that all success comes from God. Abram responded by giving a tenth of everything to Melchizedek, a powerf...
In this sermon, Pastor Max delves into one of the fundamental passages of our faith: the call of Abraham.

Abraham’s life also exemplifies a heart of worship and a readiness to give to God, as seen in his encounter with Melchizedek. Join us as we explore the character, faith, and actions of this great man of...

Her relentless faith and humble approach led to a life-changing miracle as her daughter was healed.
In this teaching, you'll lear...
In this inspiring sermon, Pastor Max dives deep into the powerful story of Bartimaeus, as told in Luke 18:35-43. Despite his blindness, Bartimaeus knew exactly who Jesus was and refused to let the moment pass him by when Jesus walked by. He cried out with relentless faith, calling Jesus “Son of David,” acknowledging Him as the Savior with the power to heal.
Bartimaeus' plea for mercy wasn’t just a casual request—it was a b...

Pastor Max reminds us how David made a decision, spoke, used what he had, took action and with God’s help defeated the enemy. David remembered in the past how God helped him defeat the lion and the bear. Decisions, not circumstances determine your future. How you talk to yourself determines your future.
You can’t control what others think but you can control what you think.
“For every child of God defeats this evil world, a...
In this powerful message, Pastor Max teaches us how we can turn things around in our lives.
The Gospel of Mark tells us the story of #Jesus healing the woman with a life threatening hemorrhage (Mark 5:25-34).

This woman decided to turn things around. She made ...
