Gratitude isn’t just an emotion—it’s a spiritual gear that moves your faith forward. In this message, Pastor Cory teaches how thanksgiving shifts our perspective, strengthens our faith, and positions us to experience the goodness of #God in every season.The Bible shows us again and again that #gratitude changes the atmosphere. When we thank God in the middle of pressure, uncertainty, or waiting, we move out of frustration and into trust. Complaining keeps us stuck, but gratitude moves us forward. It reminds our hearts of who God is and what He has already done.This message challenges us to stop letting circumstances dictate our attitude and instead choose thanksgiving as a lifestyle. Gratitude keeps our hearts soft, our faith active, and our eyes fixed on God rather than the problem. When praise goes up, peace comes in—and faith follows close behind.If you’re ready to shift gears spiritually and walk into the next season with joy, clarity, and confidence, this message will encourage you and strengthen your walk with God.

God’s love is not seasonal or conditional—it is everlasting. In this powerful and deeply personal message, Charley Elliott unfolds the heart of the Father and reveals a truth many believers know about but have never fully experienced: God loves you the same way He loves Jesus.Drawing from Jeremiah 31, John 17, and the story of the prodigal son, this message paints a clear picture of a Father who draws His children home not with fear or pressure, but with lovingkindness. You’ll be reminded that there is nothing you can do to make God love you more—and nothing you can do to make Him love you less. His love was His idea, not yours.Through Scripture and lived experience, this message breaks the lie that we are merely servants trying to earn God’s approval. We are sons and daughters. We are invited into relationship, friendship, and daily connection with a Father who knows exactly how to love us personally and perfectly.If you’ve ever struggled with feeling distant from God, unworthy, or unsure of where you belong, this message is an invitation to come home—to the Father you’ve always needed, the love you were created for, and the identity Jesus secured for you at the cross.Key Scriptures:Jeremiah 31:3 • John 17:20–23 • Ephesians 3:17–19 • Luke 15#EverlastingLove #FatherHeartOfGod #ComeHome #IdentityInChrist #LovedByGod #ChristianTeaching #WestsideChurch #GodIsLove #Church #God #Jesus #Forgiveness #Truth #Bible #Faith Support the show

Our words carry real power—and in this message, we’re diving straight into that truth. From Genesis to Jesus’ teaching in Mark 11, God shows us that spoken words create, they shape, and they move things. He spoke, and it was so… and because we’re made in His image, what we say matters more than we realize.This message calls us to guard our mouths, speak life, and align our confession with God’s Word. No more agreeing with the bad report. No more letting negativity or sarcasm train our hearts away from faith. When we believe what God has said and speak it out, something begins moving immediately—whether we see it yet or not.Your words are building your future. Let’s line them up with heaven. 🔥#faith #thepowerofwords #speaklife #kingdomliving #christianteaching #mark11 #biblicaltruth #declaretheword #Jesus #church #faith #God #bible Support the show

There is a real spiritual battle in the world—but the enemy you face is a defeated one. In this message, Cory brings clarity to what Scripture actually teaches about demons, spiritual warfare, and the authority of the believer.Ephesians 6 reminds us that our fight isn’t against people but against spiritual forces that Christ has already stripped of power. Colossians 2:15 declares that Jesus publicly disarmed every principality and power, leaving the devil with only one tactic: deception. He can’t overpower believers—he can only lie to them.This message reveals what it means to stand firm, resist the enemy, and enforce the victory Jesus already won. You’ll be reminded that when you were born again, you were transferred out of the kingdom of darkness and placed under the authority of Christ. You’re not at the mercy of the enemy; you carry the authority of the One who defeated him.#AuthorityInChrist #SpiritualWarfare #VictoryInJesus #DemonsDefeated #FaithOverFear #BibleTeaching #WestsideChurch #demons #deliverance #deliveranceprayer #Jesus #church #bible  Support the show

God is calling His people to a higher level—and holiness is the path that gets us there. This message isn’t about rules or religious pressure; it’s a call from the Father’s heart for His sons and daughters to live set apart, empowered, and fully aligned with who He has already made us to be.Pastor Cory teaches straight from Scripture that holiness isn’t something we work toward—it’s something God has already placed inside of us through the new birth. We aren’t “just human” anymore. We’re new creations, infused with the Spirit of God, called to live differently from the world around us.In this message:• The difference between being made holy and living holy• What Paul taught the Corinthians about leaving their old life behind• Why excuses like “I’m only human” or “we’re all just sinners” hold believers back• How God’s grace isn’t permission—it’s power• Why abstaining, fleeing, and building barriers are signs of spiritual maturity• How holiness positions you for greater influence, effectiveness, and spiritual authority📖 “Be holy, for I am holy.” — 1 Peter 1:16We are living in the last days—days where both darkness and the glory of God are increasing. This is not the hour for compromise or casual Christianity. It’s the hour for a church that is awake, pure, bold, and fully committed to God.#Holiness #SetApart #WestsideChurch #ChristianLiving #LastDaysChurch #BeHoly #Sanctification #SpiritLedLife #RevivalStartsHere #HolinessMessage #faith #church #Jesus #church #glory #holy Support the show
